Synopsis

"Niels Ebbesen, and Germand Gladenswayne: Two Ballads" presents a compelling fusion of history and folklore, as these poems illuminate the valor and struggles of their legendary protagonists. Written in a lyrical style that melds narrative storytelling with rich poetic forms, these ballads navigate the complexities of heroism and cultural identity during the medieval era. Set against the backdrop of Denmark's tumultuous past, where national pride and local legends intertwine, the work resonates with themes of loyalty, bravery, and the defense of one's homeland. The authorship of these ballads can be traced to various folk traditions, reflecting a collective memory of societal values and the human experience. The narrative of Niels Ebbesen, a key figure in resisting foreign dominance, and Germand Gladenswayne, whose exploits symbolize hope and resilience, likely emerged from a deep-rooted desire to preserve regional narratives amidst an evolving cultural landscape. Such stories not only entertain but also serve as essential markers of historical consciousness. This collection is recommended for readers interested in the intersection of folklore and history, as it provides insightful commentary on the nature of heroism within a cultural context. Its rich imagery and emotional depth make it a significant addition to any literary collection, perfect for those seeking to explore the powerful legacy of balladic storytelling.

    A Walk Through the Wilderness takes the reader on a harrowing adventure through the rigid psychological manipulation of a fundamentalist cult, the many joys and sorrows during the years of recovery afterwards, the seeming hopelessness of infertility, and finally to a joy realized. 
    Being raised in a liberal Christian home, Dan never imagined the sorrows he would face as his faith evolved into fundamentalist cult status. For many years he lived under a rigid religious control structure that managed every aspect of his life and resulted in deep emotional scarring. During the years of recovery after his involvement, he and his wife Chanthy suffered through years of infertility which (combined with the cult experiences) resulted in both of them becoming atheists. There is hope, however, for Dan & Chanthy as their journey leads them through the joy of a successful adoption effort and the coming to fruition of their desires for a happy and healthy family. 
    In Dan Conger’s book we experience his faith and his doubt, his sorrows and his hopes, his joys and his expectations for a bright future. The reader is welcomed to come along on A Walk Through the Wilderness.
