Description

<p>In 1066, the rivalry between two brothers brought England to its knees. When Duke William of Normandy landed at Pevensey on September 28, 1066, no one was there to resist him. King Harold Godwineson was in the north, fighting his brother Tostig and a fierce Viking invasion. How could this have happened? Why would Tostig turn traitor to wreak revenge on his brother?<br />The Sons of Godwine were not always enemies. It took a massive Northumbrian uprising to tear them apart, making Tostig an exile and Harold his sworn enemy. And when 1066 came to an end, all the Godwinesons were dead except one: Wulfnoth, hostage in Normandy. For two generations, Godwine and his sons were a mighty force, but their power faded away as the Anglo-Saxon era came to a close.</p>

Story Behind The Book

Of the first three of our forefathers, Isaac is the one about whom the Torah records the least information and commentary. Sages and scholars have had little more to say about Isaac. I was compelled to write this book on spirituality,with Isaac as my main example, because of the inspiration I received from Adonai on parashah Toledot.

<span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;line-height:19px;font-size:14px;color:#181818;">This was an amazing book that provided excellent perspective on navigating through life with one's spirituality intact. In addition, it helped deepen my spiritual bent, thereby allowing me to be more cognizant of how duty - amidst the debate between &quot;right and wrong&quot; - should play out in one's mind.</span><div><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;line-height:19px;font-size:14px;color:#181818;">Kevin Weakley</span></div><div><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;line-height:19px;font-size:14px;color:#181818;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;line-height:19px;font-size:14px;color:#181818;"><span style="font-family:georgia, serif;line-height:18px;font-size:12px;">Author Laura Weakly provides a particularly deep analysis of the character Issac and provides unique observations and perspective that the average reader, and even the average scholar, will likely miss. By following Isaac's spiritual journey, the reader will suddenly realize that God has provided a path for everyone's own unique spiritual growth. Experience the joys, pains, and thought process that must have gone through Isaac's mind as you read this impressive book.</span><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;line-height:19px;font-size:14px;color:#181818;"><span style="font-family:georgia, serif;line-height:18px;font-size:12px;">Todd Daniel</span></span></div>
