  "Guilty Prayer is most stunning for how much it fits into a small space. All of this, no doubt, in praise of Steve Henn's brilliantly malleable poetic voice, which shifts tones, moods, and paces seamlessly between pages and between lines. I love this book for how it faces me, how it speaks to me, how it trusts me with what it knows. Reading this has made me a more generous person." - Hanif Abdurraqib 
  "Lithium and late-life sobriety - yes, please, and a music culled from the heartland as if from the pen of some Midwestern O'Hara in a time of 'dank memes' and the still reverberating echoes of Sparklehorse. Romance and failure, puking after a first sober Thanksgiving, the ghost of a long lost love, and poetry with 'surreal teenagers.' I recognize my place in Henn's America, in these days of no advantages, shattered dreams, and enough joy and art to live a life by." - David Dodd Lee 
  "Steve Henn peels back sorrow to reveal other emotions coiled inside it. Humor, bewilderment, guilt, tenderness. Grief as nexus, grief as quicksilver. Death and addiction are his subjects, yes. But Henn's language, like grief, is never static: it spirals into poems that are gripping, electrifying. I felt many things reading his work. Sorrow, yes. But also awe and gratitude." - Eduardo C. Corral

  Scottish Uprisings The: The...

  From their very beginnings, England and Scotland fought each other. Emerging as unified nations from the early medieval period, their shared border and inter-related aristocracy created endless causes of conflict, from local raiders known as border reivers to full blown wars between their monarchies. Every century from the 11th to the 16th was colored by such violence, and there were periods when not a decade went by without some act of violence marring the peace. 
  	Out of all of this, the most bitterly remembered conflict is Edward I's invasion during the late 13th century. After Edward’s death, the English were eventually beaten back at the famous Battle of Bannockburn in 1314, and thus the early 14th century was a period featuring some of Scotland's greatest national heroes, including William Wallace and Robert the Bruce. It still resonates in the Scottish national memory, all the more so following its memorable but wildly inaccurate depiction in the 1995 film Braveheart, which had Scottish audiences cheering in cinemas. William Wallace is one of the most famous freedom fighters in history, and over 700 years after his death he is still remembered as Scotland’s beloved hero. But while the movie Braveheart helped make him a household name, and he is commemorated across Scotland as a natural leader and a loyal son of his homeland, he is also “the most mysterious of the leaders of the Scottish resistance to Edward I.” 
  England has more often been faced with the claims of competing kings and queens than with a period of no monarch at all. The major exception to that rule came in the 11 years between 1649 and 1660, when England was a republic. Following the disastrous reign of Charles I and the civil wars that led to his execution, Parliament and the army ruled England. That situation was one that would not have been possible without the Bishops’ Wars that preceded it.

  This audiobook has been recorded using Text to speech (TTS). 
   
  The Bible is a book made of many books. It is philosophy and faith, law and life. From poetry to psalms, it is a work of love to a deity that finds its origins in times long before the Hebrews had ever been heard of. But one element of the Bible has been used as evidence that God exists. That he has a plan for the world. That he gave us knowledge of that plan via his prophets. This is Bible Prophecy. 
   
  There are numerous passages in the Bible that tell us about the communications between God and humanity. It is known as a revelation from the divine. A future revealed. 
   
  There is not specific book in the Bible that has all the prophecies; they are widely spread. Many of them have conditions. Most are from the words of the prophets but some are given as direct communication from God himself. 
   
  Over the past two thousand years these prophecies have vexed mankind for one main reason - interpretation. And therein lies a problem we need to get to the bottom of. Who to believe? 
   
  Welcome to a fantastic world of predicted births and ends of the world. Welcome to Bible Prophecies.

  Commando - A Boer Journal of the...

  In 1899, Deneys Reitz, then aged seventeen, enlisted in the Boer army to fight the British. He had learnt to ride, shoot and swim almost as soon as he could walk. When he fought as a member several Boer commandos, he made full use of these skills and the endurance he acquired during the war.  
  He was involved in major actions, such as the Battle of Spion Kop, and he interacted with prominent political and military figures of the time, such as President Paul Kruger, Boer generals Piet Joubert, Louis Botha, Koos de la Rey, Christiaan Beyers, Jan Smuts and British commander Lord Kitchener.  
  Reitz forged a strong personal and political friendship with Smuts after the war, one built one reciprocal respect. 
  Commando is more than a historical document. With prose that captures both the brutality and the beauty of war, Reitz weaves a narrative that resonates with authenticity, transcending time. 
  As relevant today as when it was first penned, Commando has become a South African classic and stands as a testament to the indomitable human spirit in the face of adversity.
