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>

Story Behind The Book

Back in the early 2000's I was experiencing a major setback in all areas of my life. Over several months I heard 3 verses from Isaiah 60 that began to give me hope and thought further study of the full chapter was needed. I broke the words down from the Strong's and crafted a daily confession from the whole chapter. It is something that has helped me focus on God's good during those early and subsequent hard times. I attribute many of the positive changes experienced through the years to the words that I've spoken over my life in good times and bad.

I am very selctive when reading books.. investing time in meaningless literature, movies, television programs, etc. is just a waste of life and brain space to me. They say to watch what you put into your mind, I take that very seriously! From the minute I started reading I was hooked. I wanted to share every part and piece with my husband who was by my side most of the time I was reading and even he loved all she had to share. I am satisfied and happy I gave this book the time and will be recommending this one for years to come!<br /><br />  </p> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"><span style="margin-right:5px;"><span class="swSprite s_star_5_0" title="5.0 out of 5 stars"><span>5.0 out of 5 stars</span></span> </span> <span style="vertical-align:middle;"><strong>The power the WORD!</strong>, December 31, 2012</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"> <div> <div style="float:left;">By </div> <div style="float:left;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A2SYN6WH32QZQT/ref=cm_cr_pr_pdp"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Lauren D.
