Book Synopsis The Reluctant General by : Herb Sennett
Download or read book The Reluctant General written by Herb Sennett and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Deborah and Barak from the biblical book of Judges describes amazing courage and fortitude beyond modern comprehension. In this modern retelling of the old story, Herb Sennett brings to life the people of 1150 BC in such a way that their hopes, dreams, struggles, pain, and suffering help us face our own problems in the light of God's willingness to help his people whenever they are threatened with extinction. The Jewish people of that day knew little of warfare and tactics, but they were able to defeat the most powerful army of the day and then conquer the most heavily defended city in the area. This novel tells of their struggle to live free of oppression and fear through their faith in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Tristan has been promoted to Master Rider, but he has very different ideas about the best way to protect their people than his father, the commander. Sev has been sent to spy on the empire, but maintaining his cover may force him to fight on the wrong side of the war. And Veronyka's sister, Val, is determined to regain the empire she lost--even if it means inciting the war herself. As tensions reach a boiling point, the characters all find themselves drawn together into a fight that will shape the course of the empire--and determine the future of the Phoenix Riders. Each must decide how far they're willing to go--and what they're willing to lose in the process.
Book Synopsis Robert Louis Stevenson and the Art of Collaboration by : Murfin Audrey Murfin
Download or read book Robert Louis Stevenson and the Art of Collaboration written by Murfin Audrey Murfin and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-05 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores Robert Louis Stevenson's collaborative processContains new readings of thirteen works by Robert Louis Stevenson, including several rarely discussedSheds light on connections between authorship, celebrity, the literary marketplace and the creative processSupported by extensive manuscript researchThis book investigates Stevenson's literary collaborations with family and friends as he travelled Scotland, America and the Pacific. With critical readings of both major and minor Stevenson texts, supported and contextualised by unpublished manuscripts and letters by both Stevenson and those he wrote with, this book argues that Stevenson's writings are both a product of and a meditation on collaborative writing. Stevenson's self-reflective body of work reimagines late-Victorian authorship by examining the ways that authors choose material, negotiate the marketplace and, ultimately, maintain power over their own words, or let that power go.
Book Synopsis The Book of David: Joab by : Terence Morgan
Download or read book The Book of David: Joab written by Terence Morgan and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Joab' is the third and final volume in 'The Book of David' trilogy. History is written by the winners, we are told - but what if it weren't? What if those who lost were to have their say? Terence Morgan (author of 'The Master of Bruges', 'The Shadow Prince' and 'Villon') has applied this question to the nation of Israel. Morgan tells the story of the beginnings of Israel through the eyes of three men who were in their different ways the 'losers' of history - Goliath, whom David slew, Saul, his predecessor as king and Joab, his army general. How would these men have seen the rise of David? 'The Book of David' is the bible's missing volume, a story of love and hate, political chicanery and religious rivalry, the beginnings of nationhood and the men and women whose lives were caught up in its strife. Terence Morgan is renowned for his 'retakes' of history, looking at events from a different perspective. 'The Book of David' is a worthy addition to the canon.
