Sinossi

This is an incredible history focusing on the role of Tomás de Torquemada in the Spanish inquisition. Torquemada was a Castilian Dominican friar and the first Grand Inquisitor in Spain's movement to standardize religious conventions with those of the Catholic Church in the late 15th century. In 1483, Ferdinand and Isabella appointed a state council to administer the inquisition with Torquemada acting as its head and he ultimately acquired the title of Inquisitor-General.  The accounts presented in this work are raw but factual and solid. Sabatini debunks some popular misconceptions about the inquisition and gives his own views on the time's prominent political and religious figures. This history is illustrated with trials and examples of Torquemada and the Holy Office at work. It is well-written and often surprising in its revelations.

    The Medieval Mind of C S Lewis -...

    C. S. Lewis had one of the great minds of the twentieth century.
    Many readers know Lewis as an author of fiction and fantasy literature, including the Chronicles of Narnia and the Space Trilogy. Others know him for his books in apologetics, including Mere Christianity and The Problem of Pain. But few know him for his scholarly work as a professor of medieval and Renaissance literature.
    What shaped the mind of this great thinker? Jason Baxter argues that Lewis was deeply formed not only by the words of Scripture and his love of ancient mythology, but also by medieval literature. For this undeniably modern Christian, authors like Dante and Boethius provided a worldview that was relevant to the challenges of the contemporary world.
    Here, readers will encounter an unknown figure to guide them in their own journey: C. S. Lewis the medievalist.

    Becoming Alpha: Tuning the First Signal 
    A groundbreaking guide to inner power, presence, and the rhythm that shapes reality. 
      
    What if the real alpha isn't the loudest in the room — but the most in tune? 
      
    In this powerful blend of science, ancient wisdom, and modern insight, Nader Hantour redefines what it means to be "alpha." Forget dominance and ego. Becoming Alpha reveals a deeper truth: the original alpha is a frequency — a calm, clear, creative state of mind and body that unlocks presence, clarity, and quiet leadership. 
      
    Drawing from neuroscience, mythology, meditation, and altered states, this book offers a fresh path to power — not through control, but through coherence. 
      
    Inside, you'll discover: 
      
    • The truth about alpha brainwaves — and how to access them 
    • How to tune your nervous system for clarity, flow, and focus 
    • Ancient practices that align your mind, body, and energy 
    • Why real leadership begins in silence, not struggle 
    • A practical toolkit to live from the alpha state — every day 
      
    Whether you're an entrepreneur, artist, seeker, or leader in the making, this book will help you stop performing and start tuning. 
      
    Becoming Alpha isn't about changing who you are. It's about remembering the rhythm you were born with.

    We broke our new series on learning Greek down into different learning stages. Start with the "Lower Beginner" books followed by the "Beginner" and "Upper Beginner" books. Next, progress to the "Intermediate" series, then test and reinforce your knowledge with the "Conversations" series. 
    This audiobook is divided into units.While it provides different learning patterns and accommodates various needs, this audiobook focuses on helping you improve your ability to understand, speak, and memorise Greek.  
    In Unit 1 you will hear Greek decoded with each syllable spoken very slowly and clearly with repetition. Immediately before each sentence is spoken, you will hear the translation, so you will always understand what is being said. 
    Unit 2 focuses solely on increasing your listening ability, which will improve your abilities to engage in dialogue with a native Greek speaker. This chapter requires you to listen very carefully to nuances in the language. 
    By Unit 3 you will already notice progress in your abilities to speak and understand Greek. The spoken translation is followed by two repetitions in Greek at a completely natural speed. While you are learning to process naturally spoken Greek, Units 3 and 4 will help you memorise new vocabulary and full sentences.  
    In Unit 5 you can test yourself on how much you have learned. If you are having difficulties, we suggest you revisit the listening, speaking, or memorisation section of Units 1, 2 3 or 4, according to what you need more help with.
