Book Synopsis The Secret Gospel Of Holy Island by : Kev Fletcher
Download or read book The Secret Gospel Of Holy Island written by Kev Fletcher and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-08-10 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""Holy Island. The jewel in Northumberland's historic and righteous crown. I'm sure it is, but a crown of gold ... or a crown of thorns?"" 34 year old Linda Wilson travels to Holy Island to walk in the footsteps of the past. To relive the memory of days she spent on the island with her husband, who had recently passed away. She comes across a 'stranger' who gradually transforms her life, not always for the good, in a tale that grips the reader from the first chapter. The book is more fact than fiction, and every aspect of the storyline (as regards dates and historical reference) is true. Although it is a novel, it will leave you wondering how much of it is accurate ... in the sense ... what do they REALLY have hidden away on Lindisfarne?

Originally built by the Freemasons, it was subsequently taken over by a variety of hosts, who all suffered various consequences. Was the place evil? Probably. But when Victor Schafer arrived, with his band of gypsy nomads, it sunk into the depths of the abyss. He had his own disciples. But, in the end, they took their '30 pieces of silver' and hung him from the gallows. Many people lay claim to having seen him dead, but his body disappeared soon after. Was that the end of Victor Schafer? Perhaps those 'many people' told lies.

Book Synopsis The Last Priest of Jupiter : Book 1 of THE WISDOM OF THE WOLF by : Aidan M G Moore
Download or read book The Last Priest of Jupiter : Book 1 of THE WISDOM OF THE WOLF written by Aidan M G Moore and published by Australian Self Publishing Group. This book was released on 2013 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In truth, I found it hard going. It is not clear whether it is intended to be a book of instruction about the Roman conquest of Britain or an adventure story of a young boy who learns the tricks of the fighting trade from the Romans with the intention of using them against the same Romans back in Ireland. It turns out that this will not be necessary, but that he will have to fight his uncle Niall, who up to this point has been painted as a heroic figure. At the end, the future contact with Christianity is foreseen. As an exposition of military and colonial problems in Britain and Ireland in the 5th century, it is a wonderful piece of erudition. The explanation of the different origins of names and customs shows a mastery of the history and politics of the day. Similarly the story of the foreign cavalry in the Roman army/ The problem is that the reader is expecting an adventure yarn, with frequent setbacks and heroic reversals, culminating in some kind of temporary triumph. The longer the book goes on, the less this aspect is important. Clearly the book needs a map of Britain and Ireland and it would make easier reading if the names of the towns and regions were given in English. There needs to be a decision about which characters are important (what happened Sal Bui?) The notes at the heads of the chapters are a distraction – these should form a 20-page appendix at the end of the book. A true adventure story would not have such openings, because the story would be more important than the explanations. I suggest that you break up long paragraphs and have a consisted way of dealing with things like quotation marks, breaks between paragraphs etc. The difference between the followers of Christ and of Jesus is good; so is the account of the raiding pirates from across the North Sea. There are many other excellent things, but ultimately, I feel the book falls between two stools: Roman history and adventure yarn. An example is Ch 2, the initiation of Dathi which appears to have no further relevance to the story.

Maureen Boyd Biro, author of Walking With Maga and Voices of the Valley, First Press. This book is amazing - I picked it up just to check a few lines and couldnt stop reading. I felt as though it was educating me, and I could imagine everything as if I was watching a movie. There wasnt one part of the book which did not make me want to quickly turn to another page. June Dally Watkins, Education and Training | Business Finishing College. The year is 1097. Britain has been politically unstable for an age, and it doesnt seem as though things will be settling down any time soon. It isnt just political issues that threaten the population, however. Without an understanding of the nature of pestilence or the knowledge of how to treat it, disease runs rampant through the population, affecting everyone in its path. While tragedy rampages unchallenged, one place stands apart from the events afflicting the world at large. Hidden away in a corner of the land stands the large, stone monastery that serves as a shelter from the terrifying world. It is here that one man finds himself on a journey he never expected he would take. He discovers the art of illumination, not only in the creation of beautiful manuscripts, but in illumination of the soul. In the process, he also uncovers a secret that will propel him into a world he never expected to find.
