Book excerpt: Widowhood is one of the hardest and most painful experiences we women have to endure. Sometimes, though, there are no words to capture the pain, loneliness, and at times, desperation when finding yourself without your life mate. Prayer is the only answer when we are bent beneath the load of widowhood, because we have His promise that He will lift us and be our strong refuge when trouble comes. This devotional offers the widows aching heart a way to pray circles from widowhood, when the words just dont come because of the heavy grief.

Download or read book Generation Of Warriors written by Perry Short and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2007-06-06 with total page 565 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The time frame is June through September of 1863. The characters were real people. The story follows the lives of five men who defended their homeland in America’s most costly war. The novel is set in Northwest Georgia. A heavily researched book about brave people making their way through impossible circumstances, and about families torn apart. Their lives were not easy, and this event made life unbearable, and impossible to stay in their homes. The main character, Spillbsy Dyer, at thirty-five had to remain faithful in his duty as an officer, and resist the temptation to desert the Army, knowing his nearby family was in harm’s way. Other characters were part of a mass movement by rail, of troops stationed in Richmond, Virginia and transported to Northern Georgia. They were among the ones who historian Mary Chesnut wrote about when she recorded, “At Kingsville, N.C., I caught a glimpse of our army. God Bless these brave fellows. Not one man intoxicated, not one rude word did I hear. It was a strange sight. Miles of platform cars-soldiers rolled in their blankets, lying in rows, heads covered and fast asleep. In their gray blankets, packed in regular order, they looked like swathed mummies. All these fine fellows going to kill or be killed. Why?” These men were part of the 132,000 soldiers who descended on the farm land of Northwestern Georgia, from all areas of this young country, in the drought ridden summer of 1863.

Download or read book Holy Warriors written by Richard W. Kaeuper and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2012-06-04 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The medieval code of chivalry demanded that warrior elites demonstrate fierce courage in battle, display prowess with weaponry, and avenge any strike against their honor. They were also required to be devout Christians. How, then, could knights pledge fealty to the Prince of Peace, who enjoined the faithful to turn the other cheek rather than seek vengeance and who taught that the meek, rather than glorious fighters in tournaments, shall inherit the earth? By what logic and language was knighthood valorized? In Holy Warriors, Richard Kaeuper argues that while some clerics sanctified violence in defense of the Holy Church, others were sorely troubled by chivalric practices in everyday life. As elite laity, knights had theological ideas of their own. Soundly pious yet independent, knights proclaimed the validity of their bloody profession by selectively appropriating religious ideals. Their ideology emphasized meritorious suffering on campaign and in battle even as their violence enriched them and established their dominance. In a world of divinely ordained social orders, theirs was blessed, though many sensitive souls worried about the ultimate price of rapine and destruction. Kaeuper examines how these paradoxical chivalric ideals were spread in a vast corpus of literature from exempla and chansons de geste to romance. Through these works, both clerics and lay military elites claimed God's blessing for knighthood while avoiding the contradictions inherent in their fusion of chivalry with a religion that looked back to the Sermon on the Mount for its ethical foundation.

Book excerpt: Although the Morroks surpass Humans in both size and strength, for generations they have skulked in deserts and moved among Humans only in secret. They train their children with brutal thoroughness and psychological torment, teaching them both to isolate themselves and to kill without thought. Orestes is one such Human trainee for the first five years of his life. But after he is rescued from the Morrok Facility, Orestes grows up in Warrior Peak, a militaristic society that hasn't been to war in three generations and is reluctant to do so even as the Morroks begin to show themselves in the desert just miles from their home. Even in the midst of impending war, Orestes wrestles with the Morroks' hold over his mind and heart as he struggles to fight without malignity, to lead without tyranny, and to love without inhibition. The Morroks, however, are not as quick to relinquish their hold on Orestes, and the reminders of their training, often written in the blood of others, threaten to ruin him before he can lead the Humans in their last stand to defend the land against the Morroks. http: //www.awarriorslegacy.com

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Warrior's Dance weaves a gripping account of Rome's third king, Tullus Hostilius, who is celebrated in history as the bellicose leader who destroyed Rome's mother city, Alba Longa. In this rich, compelling look back at a time when history and myth intermingle, King Tullus is portrayed as a young demigod, impetuous, insolent, unhampered by scruples, and exposed to the temptations of tyranny. Trouble begins during the waning days of elderly King Numa, when Tullus and his restless young partisans go about decrying a Rome grown weak. In the springtime of their lives, they ridicule the piety and peace forced upon them by a doddering ruler and yearn to pursue the warrior's way. A new generation longs for action and glory, while fathers quake at the seditious talk of their sons. The Warrior's Dance is told by those who lived the breathtaking adventure of King Tullus' ascent to power. Their fates perforce are caught up in their hero's triumphs and snared by his ruinous descent into superstition and brutality. When the balance tips too far, the gods will demand their due. "An enchanting mainstream historical novel. How easily the reader is dropped into the life and times is remarkable. The writing technique is refreshingly unique, and the story flows easily from page to page. The reader is very much on the scene and seeing throught the protagonist's eyes. The characters carry the story and are the story." - Pacific Northwest Writers Association.

Download or read book Discourses of Empire written by Barbara Simerka and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-11-09 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The counter-epic is a literary style that developed in reaction to imperialist epic conventions as a means of scrutinizing the consequences of foreign conquest of dominated peoples. It also functioned as a transitional literary form, a bridge between epic narratives of military heroics and novelistic narratives of commercial success. In Discourses of Empire, Barbara Simerka examines the representation of militant Christian imperialism in early modern Spanish literature by focusing on this counter-epic discourse. Simerka is drawn to literary texts that questioned or challenged the imperial project of the Hapsburg monarchy in northern Europe and the New World. She notes the variety of critical ideas across the spectrum of diplomatic, juridical, economic, theological, philosophical, and literary writings, and she argues that the presence of such competing discourses challenges the frequent assumption of a univocal, hegemonic culture in Spain during the imperial period. Simerka is especially alert to the ways in which different discourses—hegemonic, residual, emergent—coexist and compete simultaneously in the mediation of power. Discourses of Empire offers fresh insight into the political and intellectual conditions of Hapsburg imperialism, illuminating some rarely examined literary genres, such as burlesque epics, history plays, and indiano drama. Indeed, a special feature of the book is a chapter devoted specifically to indiano literature. Simerka's thorough working knowledge of contemporary literary theory and her inclusion of American, English, and French texts as points of comparison contribute much to current studies of Spanish Golden Age literature.

Download or read book The Way of the Warrior Priestess written by Aya and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 1999-10-01 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A woman who struggles on the spiritual path needs validation, guidance, inspiration and practical advice. This handbook is to help her survive the transition of the past several centuries and come to her full empowerment. This is especially for she who needs to reprogram herself as the Warrior Priestess in what is still a mans world. It is for the one who seeks to understand her place as the embodiment of the Divine Feminine Spirit because now it is time to uplift the wounded feminine consciousness to its rightful power, to transmute the negative results of ignorance and subjugation. This book is a call and a guide for the neophyte on the Path as well as for all the extraordinary women who are searching for a Friend in the dark, when they are feeling most damned and abandoned because of their Vision. It is for all the Spiritual Warrior/Priestesses who have forgotten some of the pitfalls, as well as the joys, of their Journey. This book will serve as an inspiration for those who have lost that Sight. In the playing field of womens spirituality, no one book or resource offers such a clear picture of the magical destiny of the Woman of Tomorrow, especially for those with eclectic beliefs. THE WAY OF THE WARRIOR PRIESTESS addresses this need for self transformation by inspiring the reader with important quotations as well as the authors guidance, step by step direction, affirmations, useful astrological insights, as well as a section that asks questions that will push the reader into changing some tired perceptions. It is written to fire up the spirit of the sleeping Feminine Spirit in both women and men. It is a handbook and empowerment manual for the growing army of individuals born at this special time in Mother Earths history to help rebalance Her during certain changes. ...for all of those brave souls willing to go in an exciting new direction. WHY THE READER SHOULD READ THIS BOOK This is not another book about the womens spirituality movement or about why women are goddesses. Rather it is a bridge between traditional magickal wisdom and the everyday challenges of the woman of the 90s. It is a call to transformation and will answer the intense desire for women of all ages and colors to heal their lives. It will give them permission and purpose to become what they really are: perfected beings. It will also bring on an almost-instant wakeup call for men. It embraces no particular theology, religion or mythology and is not a psychological treatise. It does not advocate any one path to take, nor is it anti anything except ignorance....It does come from a spacious metaphysical vision that many will relate to with a sigh of relief. The average woman is still rather paralyzed and in partial ignorance of her power as a Magical Being...because she does not even have the voice or words to help herself. And most books on this subject are still either too academic or beyond the average womans experiences. This book will serve as a tool and a light to help her see herself. The Talking Stick section at the end of each chapter is to jumpstart some profound self questioning - as well as a handy starting point in teaching situations....ideal to teach self empowerment workshops all over the world. The extensive Resources section at the back of the book is to help locate the key material for the process. This book will be appropriate for several markets: Feminist, Goddess, Spiritual, Metaphysical, Womens Self Help. It should be in metaphysical centers, universities, feminist study groups, and womens conferences and gatherings. It is for women ages 16-90 who seek inspiration and practical advice. It is for men who are trying to align with the female spirit, both in wom

Download or read book Military Thought of Asia written by Kaushik Roy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-04 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military Thought of Asia challenges the assertion that the generation of rational secular ideas about the conduct of warfare is the preserve of the West, by analysing the history of ideas of warfare in Asia from the ancient period to the present. The volume takes a transcontinental and comparative approach to provide a broad overview of the evolution of military thought in Asia. The military traditions and theories which have emerged in different parts of Eurasia throughout history are products of geopolitics and unique to the different regions. The book considers the systematic and tight representation of ideas by famous figures including Kautlya and Sun Tzu. At the same time, it also highlights publications on military affairs by small men like mid-ranking officers and scattered ideas regarding the origin, nature and societal impact of organised violence present in miscellaneous sources like coins, inscriptions, paintings and fictional literature. In so doing, the book fills a historiographical gap in scholarship on military thought, which marginalises Asia to the part of cameo, and historicises the evolution of theory and the praxis of warfare. The volume shows that the ‘East’ has a long unbroken tradition of conceptualising war and its place in society from the Classical Era to the Information Age. It is essential reading for those interested in the evolution of military thought throughout history, particularly in Asia.
