George Rawlinson

Summary

In "The Great Empires of the Ancient East," George Rawlinson offers a meticulously researched exploration of the significant civilizations that flourished in Mesopotamia, Persia, and Egypt. Rawlinson's literary style is characterized by a blend of scholarly rigor and accessible prose, making complex historical events comprehensible to a broad audience. The book situates these ancient societies within their rich cultural and political contexts, highlighting their achievements in governance, architecture, and trade while drawing connections to contemporary understanding of ancient history. George Rawlinson, a British historian and Assyriologist, draws on his extensive knowledge of ancient languages and inscriptions to present a narrative that is both enlightening and engaging. His background in classical studies and personal encounters with the historical sites of the Near East imbue his writing with authenticity and passion. As a prominent figure in 19th-century studies of the ancient world, Rawlinson's insights were instrumental in shaping modern perspectives on civilizations that laid the foundations of human history. I wholeheartedly recommend "The Great Empires of the Ancient East" to history enthusiasts and scholars alike. Rawlinson'Äôs work not only informs but also inspires a deeper appreciation for the complexity of ancient societies. It is a vital text for anyone seeking to understand the roots of modern civilization and the enduring legacy of these empires.

Cyd Holsclaw, Geoff Holsclaw

Does it feel like you experience life in a totally different way than others? Like you are living somewhere else, and you can’t build connection or intimacy with God like others can?There’s a good chance that you, like so many of us, have tried it all: read your Bible more, gone to church more, prayed more, and delved deeper into self-awareness. But you still struggle with discontent, anxiety, avoidance and doubt. You still feel stuck.No matter where you find yourself emotionally, relationally, or spiritually, Jesus meets you there and helps you move toward a place of peace and rest. As pastors, coaches, and educators, Cyd and Geoff Holsclaw are very familiar with this struggle, and they are prepared to help. In Landscapes of the Soul, they draw on the science and spirituality of attachment theory, biblical wisdom, and the language of spiritual formation to show us why Christians tend to get stuck spiritually―and how to get unstuck and move forward.Whether you feel like you’re living in a spiritual jungle, desert, or war zone, you will discover:how you are designed to grow good roots through healthy relational attachmenthow things go wrong through your often-distorted survival strategieshow God repairs your faith, hope, and love for Him, others, and ourselveshow Jesus quiets your anxious and avoidant faithhow to incorporate practices for building your security with GodYou aren’t meant to live in the anxiety of a jungle, the desolation of a desert, or the chaos of a war zone.

Servitude: Part VI - Summon...

Kai Aubrey

“A good boy like you deserves a treat.” A thin smile forms on Soren’s lips. 
Alric steps forward and collapses upon his knees. His eyes widen as he gazes up at the gold talisman in Soren’s hands, the heavy sapphire in the center shimmering seductively. The incubus closes his eyes, channeling some sort of dark energy into the artifact. 
Heart pounding, Alric watches as a vile monstrosity is released from the relic. This is his reward…his reward for committing perverse, wicked acts in his master’s name.

Cosmic Legacy of Ancient Egypt -...

Asher Benowitz

Today, we do not use our ancient cosmic orientation to relate to the natural world as we once did. It's no longer determined by where we are or what time it is by the Sun's daily motion across the sky. Our perception of the outside world has changed, and we have lost our sense of wholeness within a great system. Factors such as our work and play rhythms, clothing, diet, and travel are affected by climatic and seasonal factors. These factors affect our unconscious sense of timing and our ability to communicate with nature, which we often overlook. 
Often we marvel at the apparent serenity and spiritual confidence of ancient people, forgetting that their tools were taught and used within an environment that encouraged them to recognize and embrace natural and divine forces. These tools enabled one to maintain a profound sense of cosmic orientation, keep it, and view one's role as actual spiritual work. In ancient Egypt, a man named Al was gifted with a sense of cosmic orientation. 
As dams have been constructed in our era, the Nile no longer produces an annual flood, but understanding the rhythm of that event and others associated with it is essential to understanding Egyptian rituals and ceremonies. To restore cosmic orientation, we need to leave our temporal field of time and enter the visible universe of ancient Egypt, where cosmic rhythms sustained human life, nature, and even the gods.
