Description

<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">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.</span><br /><span class="a-text-bold" style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;font-weight:700;">B.R.A.G.

Paula Behrens, which are sure to touch the heart of anyone seeking a closer relationship with their Creator. Rev. Behrens, or &quot;Pastor Paula&quot; as she is affectionately known by her congregation, has framed each message with a rare perspective that is just as unique as the beautiful, historic church she serves. The insights that Pastor Paula shares come from the heart of one who has struggled with the allure of the predominant value system of our culture, the pursuit of the American Dream, and was left found wanting. Having attained everything from within the physical world that could possibly sustain her by mid-life, she discovered a gaping void in her soul that nothing seemed to satisfy. It was only then that her focus was drawn away from the false priorities and concerns of this world to the great hope and eternal promises of the world beyond. Each message contained in this book reflect both the trials and the triumphs encountered in the journey of faith that Pastor Paula committed herself to after half a lifetime of trying to achieve purpose for her life on her own. In essence, she speaks of a malady that we all struggle with - the human condition. She expounds the cure for our frailties through these biblically-based messages centered on the only thing that can save us from ourselves - Christ, and Christ alone. Pastor Paula employs a generous dose of humor and transparency of her own life-struggles as she illustrates the central theme found in each Scripture passage addressed. These 24 messages span a variety of topics that speak to our daily lives and will be a blessing benefiting everyone who reads them. They have certainly already proven to be a great blessing to me. <br /></div><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Walking-Light-Spirit-Talk-ebook/product-reviews/B004F9P7RS/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&amp;showViewpoints=1">http://www.amazon.com/Walking-Light-Spirit-Talk-ebook/product-reviews/B004F9P7RS/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&amp;showViewpoints=1</a>
