About
As a born and bred Baptist, the first eighteen years of my life I lived inside the Christian circle and was taught about the existence of God, Jesus and what I should believe. The problem was that inside me, I could never commit 100% to Christianity so I left the door open for other ideas to be explored.
Christianity taught me my core values which many I still adhere to today. I have always maintained a belief in God but what I didn’t believe was that I had to give my life to another man to speak to God. In my opinion, people can speak to God directly because God is all around us.
After years of learning about different organized religions and indigenous cultures, my belief leant towards the fact that all religions and beliefs had truths but not one religion or belief held the whole truth. After much soul searching, I decided that I had to stop investigating and draw some conclusions.
A King Under Siege: Book One of The Plantagenet Legacy
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
After years of learning about different organized religions and indigenous cultures, my belief leant towards the fact that all religions and beliefs had truths but not one religion or belief held the whole truth. After much soul searching, I decided that I had to stop investigating and draw some conclusions.
This book combines the cycles of nature, the logic of evolution, the wisdom of the indigenous and the values of the good, in a single definition of my belief and a future that may be before us.
By writing this book, I have literally defined and documented these conclusions for myself and will evolve and qualify them for the rest of my life. Is it fantasy or is it spiritual? Probably a bit of both.
What you do with these thoughts is up to you but I hope it’s enjoyable to read, relates to you and inspires your own spiritual journey.
