Description

<p>Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.</p>

Story Behind The Book

Reviews

<p>Jack Armstrong is one of those rare individuals gifted with the ability, tenacity and insight to truly translate the infinite into the finite, making it easy for every one of us to go the distance. <em>Lessons from the Source</em> is exactly what the name describes. This book will change your life!<br /><strong>Mary Morrissey<br />Los Angeles, CA</strong><br />Teacher, speaker, author<br />Beyond the Secret<br /></p> <p>Jack Armstrong’s book <em>Lessons From the Source</em> is a one of the best compilations of inspired writing that I have read. The content is pure, uplifting and definitely from “The Source.”  Each lesson is a gift to the reader and to the world.<br /><strong>Caroline Sutherland</strong> <span style="font-style:italic;"><br /></span><strong>Bellingham, WA<br /></strong>Renowned medical intuitive<br />Author of <em>The Body Knows<br /></em></p> <p><em>Lessons from the Source</em> offers everyone a rich tapestry of wisdom that can shift your entire perspective on life, the Universe, and your very existence within it.  Dr. Wayne Dyer once said that when we change the way we look at things, the things we look at change.  This book offers you that promise.  Its teachings offer so much depth that it warrants continous study.  At a time when many people are searching for greater meaning in life, <em>Lessons from the Source</em> offers you the opportunity of a stronger connection to the powerful intelligence that is inherent within us all.  I would highly recommend Jack’s book to anyone wanting to gain a deeper understanding of universal truths, the essence of our nature, and our relationship with the creative source of all that is.  Along with <em>Conversations with God</em>, it is a must read for everyone.<br /><strong>Christian Simpson<br />Hagley, United Kingdom</strong><br />Teacher, author, executive coach<br />Beyond the Secret<br /></p> <p>I highly recommend this book! It is jam packed with simple and practical “life lessons” that you can start applying in your own daily life…now.  It reminds me of the teachings of Abraham by Jerry and Esther Hicks crossed with Louise L. Hay and Wayne Dyer… with a heap load of <em>A Course in Miracles</em>. These easy-to-follow lessons will help guide and inspire YOU to live a life of Passion and Purpose!<br /><strong>Marcia Kearl Johnson<br />Calgary, AB, Canada<br /></strong></p> <p><strong></strong>The messages in <em>Lessons from the Source</em> are gentle, and filled with love and unconditional goodness. No rules. No commandments: just reminders of who we really are.  The concepts are profound and deep, yet easy to read and very approachable.  Reading <em>Lessons from the Source</em> makes you feel like you are in a private, one-on-one coaching session with God.  It is, in summary, an incredible book that is a “must read.”  Buy it.  Read it.  Enjoy its goodness.<br /><strong>Arlene Taveroff<span class="skype_name_highlight">   <span class="skype_nh_arrow_hid"> </span></span><br />Montreal, QC, Canada<br /></strong></p> <p>Like many, I have read spirituality-related material written by authors such as Gregg Braden, Judith Orloff, Ken Wilber, Doreen Virtue, Byron Katie, and Sonia Choquette. All outstanding authors, indeed. But after reading <em>Lessons from the Source</em>, I noticed that a subtle shift had taken place within me. I was able to distinguish and internalize the lessons in a way that was effortless.<br /><strong>Lilly Calandrello<br />Chicago, IL</strong></p>
