Description

<p><span><span>Harold Godwineson, the Last Anglo-Saxon King, owed everything to his father. Who was this Godwine, first Earl of Wessex and known as the Kingmaker? Was he an unscrupulous schemer, using King and Witan to gain power? Or was he the greatest of all Saxon Earls, protector of the English against the hated Normans? The answer depends on who you ask. He was befriended by the Danes, raised up by Canute the Great, given an Earldom and a wife from the highest Danish ranks. He sired nine children, among them four Earls, a Queen and a future King. Along with his power came a struggle to keep his enemies at bay, and Godwine's best efforts were brought down by the misdeeds of his eldest son Swegn. Although he became father-in-law to a reluctant Edward the Confessor, his fortunes dwindled as the Normans gained prominence at court. Driven into exile, Godwine regathered his forces and came back even stronger, only to discover that his second son Harold was destined to surpass him in renown and glory.</span></span></p>

<p>Posted August 24, 2006, 11:04 AM EST: 'Faye' is truly a book that I can say touched me personally. It showed me that we all have trials and tests that we go through yet it is still up to us to realize that God is almighty and in control over what happens in our lives. We will all be put to test at one point in our lives, but it is how we deal with it that makes us better. I encourage others to read this book and be richly blessed and motivated to make the best of their lives and their current situations, regardless of whats going on. Trusting in God will see us all through! This book is a must read!<br /></p>
