Beschreibung

"Tagus River Saints" explores how the Tagus River profoundly shaped Iberia's religious history, from the Moorish era through the Christian Reconquista. It examines the river as a dynamic site of cultural exchange and the evolution of religious pilgrimages along its banks. The book highlights how the Tagus, acting as a natural border and transportation route, fostered both conflict and collaboration among diverse religious communities, impacting the region's religious identity. Intriguingly, the Moors adapted pre-existing religious sites, and the river became central to pilgrimage routes, showcasing the interplay between geography and faith.

 
The book begins by establishing the historical context of the Tagus River valley, including its pre-Islamic roots and Moorish transformations. It progresses to examine the rise of Christian pilgrimage routes, focusing on sites like Toledo and Santarém, before investigating the ongoing religious syncretism even after the Reconquista. By interweaving historical analysis with vivid descriptions, "Tagus River Saints" challenges traditional narratives, demonstrating that the Tagus River was a catalyst for religious innovation, adaptation, and conflict throughout Iberian history.

Legendary - The Practice of...

Eric Ludy

This series discusses the profound notion of “legendary living” by using Eric’s father as a muse. He was not an extraordinary man in any earthly sense of the word, but his impact upon Eric’s life was extraordinary. His everyday actions of love, care, patience, and self-sacrifice have been immortalized. Why? Partly because of how he chose to live his life, which was marked by exceptional decisions amidst a self-fogged generation. And partly because, as a son, Eric has chosen to remember it, cherish it, and pay tribute to it.  
Each of us wants to to live a life that matters, generating an impact that is felt long after we are gone. It’s a deeply human thing. But, most of us when it comes to living lives that really count, are unwilling to do what it takes. If we want to live a life that will alter and impact the world, we must be willing to go against the grain of culture. We must be willing to sacrifice human comforts. And we must be willing to forgo human applause. The truly legendary life is one that maximizes the value and importance of every action performed and every word spoken. It recognizes the desperate need for the power of Jesus Christ to be the enabling and equipping vigor behind every movement and deed. 
This is an Ellerslie Live Teaching Series from Eric Ludy, recorded live in front of an audience.

Roseanna M. White

In Edwardian London, not all that glitters is gold as a lady and an intelligence officer's secret mission take them from the city's dazzling ballrooms to its covert intelligence offices.

Sir Merritt Livingstone has spent a decade serving the monarch in the field, but when pneumonia lands him behind a desk in the War Office Intelligence Division just as they're creating a new secret intelligence branch, he's intent on showing his worth. He suspects an aristocrat of leaking information to Germany as tensions mount between the two countries, but he needs someone to help him prove it, so he turns to The Imposters, Ltd. No one knows who they are, but their results are beyond compare.

Left with an estate on the brink of bankruptcy after their father's death, Lady Marigold Fairfax and her brother open a private investigation firm for the elite to spy on the elite. Dubbed The Imposters, Ltd., their anonymous group soon becomes the go-to for the crème of society who want answers delivered surreptitiously. But the many secrets Marigold learns about her peers pale in comparison to her shock when she and her brother are hired to investigate her best friend's father as a potential traitor.

Lady Marigold is determined to discover the truth for her friend's sake, and she's more determined still to keep her heart from getting involved with this enigmatic new client . . . who can't possibly be as noble as he seems.
