  Discover a thrilling true story of treachery, deceit, hope and despair.
  From the moment Mary, Queen of Scots set foot on English soil in 1568 until her execution at Fotheringhay Castle on 8 February 1587, she was the prisoner of her cousin, Elizabeth I. Unlike Mary's time on the Scottish throne, the dramatic events of these years – almost half her life – took place while she was a captive. But while trouble was perpetually simmering beyond her prison walls, within them Mary was constantly plotting. Only towards the end did she lose faith in returning to her homeland as rightful ruler.
  This is the story of Mary's tumultuous later years, told through the many atmospheric locations where she was confined. Drawing on the latest research, including a treasure trove of recently decoded letters, Exile sheds fascinating new light on her captivity and the charged political climate of the period. Reading like a 16th-century thriller, this account of treachery, deceit, hope and despair is a penetrating and enthralling psychological portrait of one of history's endlessly fascinating queens.

  The Gospel Crux - The Hidden...

  The Gospel Crux is a fresh look at the teachings of Jesus in the context of their Hebrew origins.The current versions are not working. If they were, the world around us would not keep going to pieces every now and then. Lost in translation, disoriented through cultural appropriation and transmitted across millennia, the versions handed down to us are both enhanced and redacted, far removed from its original context and blurred by the passage of time.Hebrew is a language rich in metaphors and literary devices like synonymous parallelism and hyperbole that emphasize and reinforce key messages. It does not easily lend itself to translation into Greek, Latin or English. The Gospel Crux re-interprets Hebrew words and metaphors used by Jesus to explore what his teachings would have meant to those hearing him firsthand. Words and phrases like Gospel, Heaven, Hell, Love, Soul, Holy Spirit and Eternal Life take on new meanings when viewed from this frame of reference.A key example is the command to love your neighbor as yourself. When asked “who is my neighbor”, Jesus relates the parable of the Good Samaritan. All the characters are strangers to each other. Love does not show up in this parable. Acts of service and of going the extra mile for a stranger are our takeaways. Jesus tops it up with the instruction to go and do likewise.This brings us to the concept of self. “Deny yourself. Take up your cross and follow me.” This is our understanding of what Jesus had said. “Deny yourself” is not two words. “Deny your Self” has three words. And the cross is the execution stake of self-negation. When all of this is read and understood together it reveals a well-kept secret of Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu and Lao Tzu’s philosophies. That our “I” is a story we tell ourselves.Through this alternate rendering of the words of Jesus, The Gospel Crux explores how we can find the peace of God that surpasses all understanding in our lives; the truth that will set your “I” free.
