Sinopsis

The father of French history, Saint Gregory of Tours wrote a detailed ‘History of the Franks’, which serves as a major sixth century source for studying the Merovingian kingdom. Composed of ten books, it recounts events from the Creation to the Christianisation of Gaul, the life and times of Saint Martin, the conversion of the Franks and the conquest of Gaul under Clovis I, as well as a detailed history of the Frankish kings down to the death of Sigebert I in 575. A vivid teller of intriguing tales, Gregory is a rhetorically sophisticated writer, who conveys profound religious and spiritual messages. The first comprehensive history of the French people, ‘Historia Francorum’ provides invaluable insight into the political life of central Europe in the early Middle Ages. Delphi’s Medieval Library provides eReaders with rare and precious works, with noted English translations and the original texts.  This eBook presents Gregory’s complete ‘History of the Franks’, with illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

    The ability of the world system to conquer and divide has always been based on its efforts to try to divide groups through skewed narratives and warped beliefs. The ultimate agenda of wicked men in power is to separate people because of social class, race, and status. While groups devour one another, those in power gain control by subjecting the people through programs and ideologies that are specifically designed to cause people to bow to the very men creating the narrative. These beliefs and narratives indoctrinate the people to operate in beliefs that place them in further bondage. 
    While the world system works to turn people into subjects, God searches for people who long to be set free from these bondages. His work starts inside those who seek a way of life that leads to greater freedom.  In this book, you will discover that all bondage is instigated from within. It exists within all humanity. It is beyond race, class, and society and it is the source and foundation of all evil that exists in the world. While today’s so-called relevant scientists, world governments, and global capitalists use biology and race as the key to world domination, the principles that produce the most freedom are found operating in those who acknowledge the will and purposes of the Creator. As you read this book take a journey that will illuminate your understanding and take you back to mankind’s true source of justice and liberty.

    This audiobook is a manifesto for those who are tired of pretending not to care. 
    “Apathy isn’t peace. It’s emotional starvation.” 
    It’s a mirror, a fire, and a hand reaching out from the noise — reminding you that your ability to give a f*** is not your weakness. 
    It’s your power. 
    Give a F*** will make you laugh, think, and maybe cry a little — but more than that, it will make you remember. 
    Remember who you are when you stop numbing, start feeling, and finally let yourself care again.*
