Book excerpt: Do You Dare Be Transported Into a Historical Adventure That Will Forever Change Your View of the Past?The Angel Strikes is the first in a series of sweeping, epic novels that make up The Brandt Family Chronicles. Spanning two centuries from the Napoleonic Wars to the Cold War and beyond, these riveting historical fiction novels portray the saga of the Paul Brandt family through the generations. But more than simply giving us a glimpse into rich family dynamics over time, these books challenge our very understanding of why history happened. Much like the highly acclaimed television series Downton Abbey, these novels show the grandeur of the times as well as the ugliness that many would keep hidden. You are about to enter territory that is forbidden to many. This family saga series book for Kindle starts with Paul's life and his courageous actions as a boy at the Battle of Jena (1806). This is where the legend of Paul Brandt as "e;the Angel of Jena"e; is born. As the years progress through these stunning historical dramas, we witness triumph, betrayal, jealousy, and rage - often coming from within his own family. We marvel at the courageous actions of his descendants through more than two centuries, bringing us into the modern age. You are privileged to be reading alternative history fiction that borders on the truth, not a watered down version of the past that replaces fact with fiction. To see the light, your perspective must change. You will experience history as it was - not how it was taught or sold to the gullible. 'History undone' will become of your favourite phrases. At the same time, you will revel in the laughing, loving, feuding, fighting, larger-than-life characters spilling wine on their shirts and pouring fuel on the fire. Prepare to be mightily entertained. Enter The Angel Strikes and find yourself in the woods south of Berlin in 1805. It's the dead of winter, and people are hungry, cold and miserable. Yet if anyone is in this position, it's their own fault. They know it and they'll escape to better times. Join them now and immerse yourself in a world of rich historical drama. You too will thrive.

Book excerpt: The Angel Strikes is set in the Napoleonic Wars, but written from the Prussian perspective, from within occupied territory. The Angel Strikes is fast-paced, tense, historical fiction, containing a rich vein of wry humour. The book explores ignored history.The story immerses the reader in the turmoil suffered under occupation. Paul Brandt (as he will become) guides the reader telling his story honestly. He and two uncles are all that remains of a band of Russian peasants fleeing west from starvation and worse. They must fight their way through lands populated by bandits and highwaymen. They stop for winter in a forest south of Berlin.You will be involved in English duplicity as Viscount Castlereagh deceives Bonaparte. You will meet Clausewitz, Gneisenau, Scharnhorst, Blucher and von Boyen as they perfect their plans to defeat the French invader following Napoleon's victory at Jena-Auerstedt. You will meet Tsar Alexander I as Napoleon Bonaparte, the Corsican runt to us the Tsar's nickname for him, closes on Russia's Holy city -Moscow, You will meet General Yorck as he juggles his duty to his Prussian King against the survival of the Prussian Auxiliary force conscripted into the French army marching east and into the Russian winter.Paul Brandt is a survivor fleeing starvation in Russia. With his uncles they take refuge in a forest south of Berlin in 1805. They go to the aid of a coach under attack by robbers, but the passenger dies leaving the promise of a better future in his luggage- if only they could take it! On a winter road they meet Rosina and her mysterious charge Anna. In exchange for shelter Rosina agrees to teach the men how to read. They need to understand the papers in the luggage.But it was an English coach and the French want it. It hides more papers -papers Paul never found. The English also want it back. What happens when Paul's uncle tries to sell the coach to the French?The refugees must flee again. They pass the battlefield of Jena-Auerstedt and the legend of The Angel of Jena is born."e;When there is nothing good to speak of there will always be the story of the Angel of Jena- a boy who held his nerve and stood his ground. Wherever he goes, our men will rally."e;Paul Brandt has a great deal more to do. Who is Rosina? What is her mission? Why do they head south to Saalfeld? They must travel further to Rodental before anything starts to make sense. Even as the grip of the French invader tightens over the German speaking lands the population strives to recover its freedom. The Prussian army reforms and learns new strategies under new leaders. Wellington pushes at Soult in Spain, but by 1812 every road leads to Moscow and Paul and three quarters of a million men must march along it. Bonaparte's army includes half a million French troops, but it is his plan to sacrifice the conscripts from Prussia and Austria in any battle against the Tsar's troops. He is in the midst of half a million deadly enemies. Paul must learn, not just to survive, but to lead if he is to return home where he will face a complex future to say nothing of culpability for grand larceny.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The contributors to Postmodernism and Christian Philosophy bring a wealth of philosophical insights and methodological approaches to bear on a common concern, namely, the possibility and extent of a fruitful dialogue between Christian philosophy and postmodern thought. They tackle the timely question of how realism ought to respond to the threat to what Gilson called "the Western Creed" posed by modernity's heir apparent. Enriched and invigorated by the insights of St. Thomas, Jacques Maritain, Yves R. Simon, and others, the articles assembled in this volume offer a provocative vision of the way in which a world bearing the imprint of modernity can nevertheless avoid succumbing to the false alternative proposed by postmodernism. Contributors include: Benedict M. Ashley, O.P., Don T. Asselin, Michael Baur, David B. Burrell, C.S.C., John Deely, Curtis L. Hancock, Thomas S. Hibbs, Gregory J. Kerr, John F.X. Knasas, Joseph W.

Book excerpt: Our journey as Christians is full of challenges and one of the greatest challenge we face is when a constant barrage of the question will I ever shake off the feeling of my disgraceful past? This lingers or keeps popping up in our subconscious mind when your conscious is constantly bombarded with nasty, painful and shameful thoughts of your past that you seek to forget, when your shameful past is constantly thrown right in your face either by the accuser of the brethren or by your fellow brother or sister, my prayer is that after reading this book you will let go and let God gently wash away every limitation of past obstacles and gradually transform you into the person you were created to become You can overcome shame.

Book excerpt: This book examines many of the strange events and actions in Acts in the context of the Hellenistic world and from that perspective. These events and actions include the ascension of Jesus, direction by the Spirit, visions, angelophanies, prison escapes and resuscitations of the dead. Many of these events are either avoided in scholarship or are investigated with an agenda other than to understand them for themselves. The book constructs an ancient audience to be one that has a close familiarity with the Septuagint and with other Greek and Latin writings. The culturally-strange events are then interpreted through the lens of these texts.

Book excerpt: In the 18th century, the stories of witches, ghosts and vampires were taken for the true records, not for legends. In the documents of those times, the mentions of the dead risen from the tombs were often recorded alongside with the mentions of natural disasters like floods and fires. Yet, even in those times, there were doubts about the reality of such episodes. The society needed a tool to tell a true record of vampirism or witchcraft from the faked one. The Abbot Don Augustin Calmet, also known as a Black Monk, with the approval of the King of France, developed a set of rules for determining the legitimacy of such records. His rules based on the philosophical reasoning and scientific examination. This book is a "How to" manual for dealing with the cases of witchcraft, vampirism, ghost appearance or possession. Additionally, this book gives a deep look in the history of these phenomena. In its time, the work by Calmet was perceived the European society of the Age of Rason as scientific research.

Book excerpt: The television series Buffy and Angel revolve around radical conceptions of family. Indeed, their coherence depends on the establishment of nontraditional families that admit vampires, demons, witches, werewolves, and other bizarre characters without censuring them for their peculiarities. This work argues that what makes these characters enduring and engaging is their critical family connections--for their most involved struggles occur not within the graveyard, but around the dinner table, just as the most challenging adversarial forces that they must face are not demons or vampires but the stuff of everyday life. What does "family" encompass within these two series? How does it relate to concepts of gender, sexuality, power and the supernatural as they emerge from the shows' complex narratives? This book explores such questions. It also examines the "chosen family" (an idea marketed specifically by successful programs such as Friends and Sex in the City within the past ten years), juxtaposing it against various images of the fractured biological family displayed in both Buffy and Angel. Through eight chapters addressing various family-related aspects within both shows, this work plots the trajectory of this unstable notion of family, even as it is transformed, remediated, and rendered unrecognizable from a "family values" perspective by the unique and supernatural relationships that proliferate in Buffy and Angel.

Book excerpt: In the mountains of Colorado, a small town called Angel’s End welcomes everyone with open arms—even a man fleeing his past… Wounded and on the run, Cade Gentry stumbles into a kind man who’s on his way to become the new pastor of Angel’s End. But not long after Timothy Key takes him in, Cade’s enemies catch up with him, and the young pastor is killed in the crossfire. Cade survives, stealing Timothy’s identity to escape, and arrives in Angel’s End on the brink of death. Leah Findley is the sheriff’s widow, trying to make ends meet for herself and her son. Having the new minister as a boarder will help, but she isn’t expecting him to be wounded when he arrives. And she definitely isn’t expecting the feelings that the new preacher stirs deep inside her. The more time Cade spends with Leah, the deeper he falls in love. To Cade, she’s an angel who’s saved his life and given him the sense of hope he’s never known. But he’s not the man she thinks he is, and before he can find permanent shelter in Leah’s arms, he must learn to have faith and put his former sins to rest...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Only Mind Worth Having, Fiona Gardner takes Thomas Merton's belief that the child mind is "the only mind worth having" and explores it in the context of Jesus' challenging, paradoxical, and enigmatic command to become like small children. She demonstrates how Merton's belief and Jesus's command can be understood as part of contemporary spirituality and spiritual practice. To follow Christ's command requires a great leap of the imagination. Gardner examines what it might mean to make this leap when one is an adult without it becoming sentimental and mawkish, or regressive and pathological. Using both psychological and spiritual insights, and drawing on the experiences of Thomas Merton and others, Gardner suggests that in some mysterious and paradoxical way recovering a sense of childhood spirituality is the path toward spiritual maturity. The move from childhood spirituality to adulthood and on to a spiritual maturity through the child mind is a move from innocence to experience to organized innocence, or from dependence to independence to a state of being in-dependence with God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Past scholarship on the prison-escapes in the Acts of the Apostles has tended to focus on lexical similarities to Euripides' Bacchae, going so far as to argue for direct literary dependence. Moving beyond such explanations, the present study argues that miraculous prison-escape was a central event in a traditional and culturally significant story about the introduction and foundation of cults - a story discernable in the Bacchae and other ancient texts. When the mythic quality and cultural diffusion of the prison-escape narratives are taken into account, the resemblance of Lukan and Dionysian narrative episodes is seen to depend less on specific literary borrowing, and more on shared familiarity with cultural discourses involving the legitimating portrayal of new cults in the ancient world.
