Summary

Although Saul was very impressed by the youth's courage, he said: "I admire your courage, but you are no match for that mighty warrior. Let the strong men come forward." Prophet Dawud AS (David), however, had already decided and was willing to meet the challenge. Proudly, he told the king that only the day before he had killed a lion which had threatened his father's sheep, and on another occasion he had killed a bear. He asked Saul not to judge him by his appearance, for he feared no man or wild beast. Saul, surprised by young David's brave stance, agreed: "My brave soldier, if you are willing, then may Allah SWT (God) guard you and grant you strength!" 
  
The king dressed David in battle armor and handed him a sword, but David was not used to wearing battle dress. He felt uncomfortable in it, and it obstructed his movements. He removed the armor, then collected a few pebbles and filled his leather pouch with them. He slung it over his shoulder next to his sling. With his wooden staff in hand, he began to walk towards the enemy. Saul was worried and asked him how on earth, with a sling and a couple of stones was he going to defend himself against the giant? Prophet Dawud AS (David) replied: "Allah SWT (God) Who protected me from the claws of the bear and the fangs of the lion will certainly protect me from this brute!" 
  
Obwohl Saul vom Mut der Jugendlichen sehr beeindruckt war, sagte er: "Ich bewundere Ihren Mut, aber Sie sind diesem mächtigen Krieger nicht gewachsen. Lasst die starken Männer nach vorne kommen." Der Prophet Dawud AS (David) hatte sich jedoch bereits entschieden und war bereit, sich der Herausforderung zu stellen. Stolz erzählte er dem König, dass er erst am Tag zuvor einen Löwen erlegt hatte, der die Schafe seines Vaters bedroht hatte, und bei einer anderen Gelegenheit einen Bären erlegt hatte. Er bat Saul, ihn nicht nach seinem Aussehen zu beurteilen, denn er fürchte weder Mensch noch wildes Tier. Saul, der von der mutigen Haltung des jungen David überrascht war, stimmte zu: "Mein tapferer Soldat, wenn du willig bist, dann möge Allah SWT (Gott) dich beschützen und dir Kraft geben! 
 
Der König kleidete David in eine Kampfrüstung und reichte ihm ein Schwert, aber David war es nicht gewohnt, Kampfkleidung zu tragen. Er fühlte sich darin unbehaglich, und es behinderte seine Bewegungen. Er nahm die Rüstung ab, sammelte dann einige Kieselsteine ein und füllte damit seinen Lederbeutel. Er warf sie über seine Schulter neben seine Schlinge. Mit seinem Holzstab in der Hand begann er, auf den Feind zuzugehen. Saul war beunruhigt und fragte ihn, wie in aller Welt er sich mit einer Schleuder und ein paar Steinen gegen den Riesen verteidigen sollte. Der Prophet Dawud AS (David) antwortete: "Allah SWT (Gott), der mich vor den Klauen des Bären und den Reißzähnen des Löwen beschützt hat, wird mich sicherlich vor diesem Rohling schützen!

    Come Rack! Come Rope! is a historical novel by the English priest and writer Robert Hugh Benson, a convert to Catholicism from Anglicanism.  Set in Derbyshire at the time of the Elizabethan persecution of Catholics, when being or harboring a priest was considered treason and was punishable with death, it tells the story of two young lovers who give up their chance of happiness together, choosing instead to face imprisonment and martyrdom, so that "God's will" may be done. The book was written nearly nine years after Benson's reception into the Catholic Church. The inspiration for the story comes from Dom Bede Camm's account of the recusant Fitzherbert family in Forgotten Shrines (1910), and from Benson's own visit in 1911 to Padley, home of the Fitzherberts, and scene of part of the novel, in order to preach at the annual pilgrimage there. The title of the book is taken from a letter of Saint Edmund Campion in which, after torture, he assured Catholics that he had revealed "no things of secret, nor would he, come rack, come rope."  Most of the characters in the book are historical people; only the hero and heroine, their parents, and some minor characters are fictional.  (Summary adapted from Wikipedia)

    Taking the reader from Victoria's wild shipwreck coast to the artists' studios of revolutionary Paris and the bloody battlefields of Flanders, this sweeping novel reimagines the volatile history of the beautiful and enigmatic young woman immortalised in one of Australia's most iconic paintings. Created in Paris in 1875, Chloé, Jules Lefebvre's depiction of a naked water nymph, was brought to Melbourne's Young & Jackson Hotel in 1909, where it has hung ever since. In this passionate, luminous retelling, Katrina Kell seeks to unlock the riddle behind the girl on the canvas, known to history only as Marie. In doing so, she weaves the compelling story of an incandescent spirit - a woman with the strength to defy the boundaries of class and convention in order to survive, and an enduring power to influence the lives of others across time and distance.

    ‘A fiendishly clever tale of ambition, deception, and power.’ DERREN BROWN 
    Belfast, 1914. Two years after the sinking of the Titanic, high society has become obsessed with spiritualism, attending séances in the hope they might reach their departed loved ones. 
    William Jackson Crawford is a man of science and a sceptic, but one night with everyone sitting around the circle, voices come to him – seemingly from beyond the veil – placing doubt in his heart and a seed of obsession in his mind. Could the spirits truly be communicating with him or is this one of Kathleen’s parlour tricks gone too far? 
    Based on the true story of Professor William Jackson Crawford and famed medium Kathleen Goligher, and with a cast of characters including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Harry Houdini, The Spirit Engineer conjures a haunted, twisted tale of power, paranoia and one ultimate, inescapable truth...

Devoted to her lumberjack father and running through the wilds where the forest meets the shore, Leah’s country life is as natural to her as the loblolly pines that rise to greet the Southern sky.When an accident takes her father’s life, Leah is wrenched from her small community and cast into a family of strangers with a terrible secret. Separated from her only home, Leah is kept apart from the family and forced to act as a helpmate for the well-to-do household. When a moment of violence and prejudice thrusts Leah into the center of the state’s shameful darkness, she must fight for her own future against a world that doesn’t always value the wild spirit of a Carolina girl.Set in 1935 against the very real backdrop of a recently formed state eugenics board, The Last Carolina Girl is a powerful and heart-wrenching story of fierce strength, forgotten history, autonomy, and the places and people we ultimately call home.
