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.

Story Behind The Book

In January 2004, while on the way to San Antonio, Texas I read a book by Markus Bishop, “Financial Planning God’s Way.” As I read, I prayed that God would give me “God ideas” and witty inventions to bring increase to my household and my local church. At the last breath of my prayer God responded, “You haven’t done anything with what I’ve already given you.” Suddenly, I saw the face of one of my church elders, Prophetess Monica Keenon. I knew exactly what God was talking about as I heard her voice, “Write the book.” I sat there and began to rehearse the reasons why I couldn’t write the book. I began with the age-old excuse of ‘not having enough time’, and finished it off with ‘I don’t like to write and I don’t have a desire to do so.’ But God in His infinite wisdom, addressed each excuse one-by-one– 1) Get out of time. I operate in eternity. 2) You spit out documentation for a multibillion dollar corporation, who has made hundred of thousands of dollars alone from what I put on the inside of you! 3) Your excuses have buried the desire. Now, that was the “BIG” one. It shook me. Suddenly, the power of God immediately came over me, as I sat on that flight to San Antonio. Then, finally I heard, “The anointing will come with your obedience.”

I saw myself within the first chapter, and numerous places throughout the book. I have always strived to stay under the radar and not draw attention to myself. I freely give to others and do not want praises or gifts in return. I now know that all of the things I do are for the wrong reason. I have been doing this because I could and I somehow was getting satisfaction from always giving more than others because I could. I have been doing the right thing for the wrong reason. I have allowed strife in my home because I resented not being recognized for all that I do. I often ask God, “Why my husband doesn't do what he is supposed to do, he has become a leech”. I have never allowed him the opportunity to do what he is supposed to do because I always fix things; somehow it is easier to just fix it than it is to discuss it or to allow God to help him grow into the man he is supposed to be. I have been stunting his growth and my own happiness. Doing the right thing for the wrong reason is worst than doing nothing at all. All my life I have felt I did not deserve to be happy, because I never was; now I believe I have never been truly happy because I did not want to be. I have been trying to fix things instead of stepping back and letting God work in my life. WOW, what a revelation. Thank you for it is I who received the greatest gift, and now comes the hard part, one of my favorite scriptures is the 10th verse of Psalms 46 “BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD. I look forward to getting this on audio and to your next book.<br /><br /></font></em></p> <p></p> <p style="text-align:right;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal" align="right"><em><font size="3">Anonymous</font></em></p> <p></p> <p style="text-align:right;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal" align="right"><font size="3"><em>Columbus, Ohio<br /><br /><span> </span><br /><br /></em><span style="font-family:Verdana, 'sans-serif';color:#000000;font-size:10pt;"></span></font></p> <p></p> <p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><em><font size="3">&quot;The heart issues that you describe are right on...All servants, even those who are leaders can benefit from preparing a heart to serve.&quot;</font></em></p> <p></p> <p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><em></em></p> <p><font size="3"></font> </p> <p style="text-align:right;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal" align="right"><em><font size="3">Dr. Rodney Swope</font></em></p> <p></p> <p style="text-align:right;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal" align="right"><em><span><font size="3">Rod &amp; Staff Enterprises</font></span></em></p> <p></p> <p style="text-align:right;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal" align="right"><strong><span style="font-family:Verdana, 'sans-serif';color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.rodnstaff.net/"><span style="font-size:8pt;"><font color="#003399">www.rodnstaff.net</font></span></a></span></strong></p> <p></p> <p style="text-align:right;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal" align="right"></p> <p><font size="3"></font> </p> <p style="text-align:right;margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal" align="right"></p> <p><font size="3"></font> </p> <p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"><em><font size="3">“We often need a goad to cause us to stop and take the time to reaffirm our commitment to Christ and service others as a outflow of that commitment.
