Sinossi

The age of Charlemagne was a time of war, conquest, and legendary heroism. As the mighty ruler of the Franks, Charlemagne shaped medieval Europe with his ambition and strength, but it was his famed Twelve Peers—his bravest and most loyal knights—who carried out his most daring feats. In Stories of Charlemagne and the Twelve Peers of France, Alfred J. Church masterfully retells these classic tales, weaving together history, myth, and adventure into a timeless collection of knightly valor and high-stakes battles.     From the epic last stand of Roland at Roncevaux to the cunning exploits of Huon of Bordeaux, these stories capture the heart of medieval chivalry. The Twelve Peers face impossible challenges—dark sorcery, treacherous betrayals, and ruthless enemies—yet they fight on with unshakable courage and honor. Through daring quests, fierce rivalries, and trials of faith, these knights uphold their oaths to Charlemagne, offering readers an enthralling glimpse into the ideals of duty and sacrifice that defined the age.     Alfred J. Church brings these medieval chansons de geste to life with gripping prose, making these legendary tales accessible to modern readers while preserving the grandeur of their original telling. His retellings honor the rich tradition of epic storytelling, offering a compelling blend of history and fantasy that transports readers into a world of noble kings, fierce warriors, and forgotten kingdoms. The vivid depictions of battle, the clash of steel, and the honor-bound struggles of knights and champions make this collection essential for those who love historical adventure.     Beyond its action and heroics, Stories of Charlemagne and the Twelve Peers of France explores themes of loyalty, destiny, and the cost of greatness. The knights of Charlemagne’s court are more than warriors—they are men whose choices shape the fate of an empire, facing the ultimate tests of honor and courage. Their stories, filled with grandeur and tragedy, continue to inspire and captivate readers across generations.     For lovers of medieval history, classic adventure tales, and epic legends, Stories of Charlemagne and the Twelve Peers of France is a must-read. This collection, published by Classicus, brings together the most thrilling and unforgettable stories of the Carolingian era, offering a journey into a time when chivalry ruled and legends were born.

    In The Healing Way I share with you my journey through a life burdened by abuse. My hope is that my journey and all that I learned will be a catalyst for your own growth. If you are read¬ing this, I know you have the desire to live without the pain of abuse. You have the same desire to live a healthy life that everyone has. I also know you have more courage within than you think. And somehow the courage will give you the ability to take the risks necessary to change your life. By sharing my journey and all the things I learned, I want to bring you hope. Hope that you can recover from abuse and live a healthy, functional life. In this book, I write about behaviors and attitudes which will help you become a better person. I am not writing about being a good person. Nor am I saying you will become a person who meets others’ expecta¬tions. Becoming a better person means to me, and I hope it begins to mean to you:a person who is willing to learn new behaviors, become more self-aware, and see other perspectives of the pain deep within. The Healing Way talks about the complexities and dynamics of abuse. The behaviors and practices to learn to become a health¬ier person. Specific steps for healing and simple, human knowledge which we rarely learn from parents, teachers, or peers. I had to author this book, because I have experienced and seen the pain abuse brings to individ¬uals, our culture, and our world. From my heart, I hope The Healing Way will help you live a more fulfilling life. Rev. Lillie Henley

    This book delves into genocide in Palestine, and the war crisis in eastern Europe, West Asia and East Asia. It examines the role of the Big Lie in blunting popular opposition, and describes ways countries around the world and the general public are pressing for peace.  
    The world is in a crisis now. As its empire declines toward collapse, the United States leadership is making a series of disastrous errors. The “neocons” in Washington, DC, are determined to maintain U.S. global domination regardless of what it might take. The stakes are high for them. They seem to believe that if they “allow” any other country to challenge their global leadership, their whole system could fall apart. 
    So they are prepared to do whatever it takes. Supporting genocide in Israel—by providing weapons, money, and a bizarre “moral justification” for horrific genocidal bombing—is a sign of what it takes. Blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline was another sign of what it can take. 
    Western European leaders have been rounded up and bludgeoned into a unified NATO alliance against Russia, and in support of Israeli genocide against Palestinians. This alliance—originally composed of “north Atlantic” countries under U.S. leadership at the end of World War II—is now also being extended to Asia. It’s a quest to curb China’s historic economic success, which threatens Western domination of global trade. 
    A new peace movement is emerging. It faces enormous obstacles, including a gigantic wave of war hysteria engineered in Washington, magnified exponentially by a captive mainstream media that seems to have abandoned all pretense of critical journalistic independence and objectivity. But as facts emerge and truth surfaces, the movement for peace will intensify. 
    Combined with the horrific results of sanctions and war, these facts and truths can be expected to bring ever greater waves of opposition and resistance into the fray.

    A “masterful and eminently readable” journey through the fascinating insights and revelations of Biblical archeology (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Many of our religious beliefs are based on faith alone, but archaeology gives us the opportunity to find evidence about what really happened in the distant past—evidence that can have a dramatic impact on what and how we believe. In Digging Through the Bible, archaeologist and rabbi Richard Freund takes readers through digs he has led in the Holy Land, searching for evidence about key biblical characters and events.  Digging Through the Bible presents overviews of the evidence surrounding figures such as Moses, Kings David and Solomon, and Mary the mother of Jesus, as well as new information that can help us more fully understand the life and times in which these people would have lived. Freund also presents new evidence about finding the grave of the Teacher of Righteousness mentioned in the Dead Sea Scrolls, and gives a compelling argument about how the Exodus of the Israelites may have taken place in three separate waves over time, rather than in a single event as presented in the Bible.

    Do intrusive thoughts stifle your days? 
    Are you overwhelmed and paralysed by constant doubts? 
    Are anxiety and depression preventing you from living the life you want? 
      
    Anger, fear, sadness and shame are notoriously difficult emotions to manage, because nature has forged their purpose purely to protect us. Sometimes trauma can interfere with your ability to regulate your emotions, amplifying them and generating devastating effects for you and others. 
    It is very difficult to ignore these emotions. Sometimes they get in the way, impede your progress and make an intimate relationship or career advancement impossible. Although we can't control many of the things that happen to us, we can certainly control how we react to those things. 
      
    From this book you will learn:How CBT works.How mental patterns are established and vicious circles are blocked.What emotional levers are, and how to react to them.To eliminate anxiety, depression and panic attacks.How to set goals and begin to use CBT.Basic and advanced techniques of CBT.How to challenge (and beat) negative and automatic thoughts.How to prevent relapses. 
      
    CBT has incredible benefits, and perhaps the most encouraging aspect is that you do not need to spend anything on drugs and therapists, both of which can be an impediment to your progress. 
      
    This book will most likely not be the ‘complete cure’ for all your problems. HOWEVER, I GUARANTEE that if you read and re-read every single chapter carefully, ABSORB all the advice and APPLY the techniques provided by this manual, you will immediately experience a feeling of relief, and you will see significant improvements and progress in every aspect of your life.
