Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this novel, a modern-day music historian, Richard Taylor, stumbles across a clue that may lead to the journals of Pope Benedict XIII (1328-1423), a.k.a. “Papa Luna”, who was one of three popes claiming legitimacy during the troublesome Western Schism in the Church. The journals were hidden away by Papa Luna’s servant, a loyal Templar knight, in a cave at Montserrat Abbey, near Barcelona. The clue is in the form of a poem set to music. But Richard is not the only one looking for the journals. He wants to reveal their contents to the world. Two rivals want to claim personal ownership, one in order to benefit privately, the other to destroy them, for fear they may reveal Benedict’s claim to the papacy was legitimate after all. While Richard races to decipher the cryptic message, tragedy strikes, creating a murder mystery, with Richard and his companions the prime suspects. Papa Luna was declared an antipope during the Schism. His justification for refusing to capitulate lay in the fact he was the last living cardinal created by Gregory XI, who was the last Supreme Pontiff recognized by the entire Church. As the only undisputed cardinal, Benedict argued, he was the only legitimate candidate for the papacy. However, at age eighty-seven at the Council of Constance, Benedict’s logic was rejected, and he was forced to flee for his life. Based on true events, this novel is a companion to Gordon Greene’s previous novel, Papa Luna, in which he documents Benedict’s life and Papa Luna’s journals expose an entirely different perspective on the Western Schism.

Book excerpt: The Catholic Church officially designates Benedict XIII, a.k.a. Pedro de Luna (1328–1423), as an antipope, a person who made a significantly recognized claim to the papal throne but whose claim was ultimately rejected. Author and historian Gordon K. Greene disagrees with this assessment. Seeking to right an historical wrong, he has written a fictionalized account of “Papa Luna’s” life in an effort to show that during the troublesome Western Schism period (1378–1417)—in which three men, including Benedict XIII, simultaneously claimed to be pope—Benedict XIII was the only legitimate contender and that rational minds devoid of racial bias should have recognized him as the legal pope. Gordon’s novel is fictional in the sense that he has created certain characters and situations to help bring Papa Luna to life. However, his account is factual concerning the main events of Papa Luna’s life—his roots in Cataluña; his schooling at Montserrat Abbey and Montpellier University; his main appointments, including serving as papal legate in the early years of the Hundred Years’ War negotiations between France and England; his personal acquaintance with Petrarch and Chaucer; his election to the Avignon papacy in 1394; and his defence of his right to the papal throne at the Council of Constance in 1415, when he was eighty-seven years old. Whether or not Gordon’s depiction of Papa Luna’s life convinces you that Benedict XIII should have been recognized as pope, there is no question that this novel tells a fascinating story of one man’s struggle to stay true to his beliefs during one of the most troublesome periods in Church history. In the process, Gordon reveals the all-too-human machinations that often determined who was and who was not elected to this most holy of divine offices.

"Wrenching debut about family, loss, and finding the strength to carry on."—Booklist, starred review "Blazes bright, gripping readers until the novel's last page."—Publishers Weekly, starred review "Vital and perilous and hopeful."—Alan Gratz, New York Times bestselling author of Refugee It is 1913, and twelve-year-old Petra Luna's mama has died while the Revolution rages in Mexico. Before her papa is dragged away by soldiers, Petra vows to him that she will care for the family she has left—her abuelita, little sister Amelia, and baby brother Luisito—until they can be reunited. They flee north through the unforgiving desert as their town burns, searching for safe harbor in a world that offers none. Each night when Petra closes her eyes, she holds her dreams close, especially her long-held desire to learn to read. Abuelita calls these barefoot dreams: "They're like us barefoot peasants and indios—they're not meant to go far." But Petra refuses to listen. Through battlefields and deserts, hunger and fear, Petra will stop at nothing to keep her family safe and lead them to a better life across the U.S. border—a life where her barefoot dreams could finally become reality. "Dobbs' wrenching debut, about family, loss, and finding the strength to carry on, illuminates the harsh realities of war, the heartbreaking disparities between the poor and the rich, and the racism faced by Petra and her family. Readers will love Petra, who is as strong as the black-coal rock she carries with her and as beautiful as the diamond hidden within it."—Booklist, starred review

Then she discovers a letter that brings into question everything she knew about her mother, and everything she knows about herself.

This book was released on 2016-12-24 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Certain historians have long held that Antonio Luna had a love child with Dona Ysidra, the grand matriarch of the Cojuangco clan. This book, written by Hilarion Henares with the research assistance of Ricardo Manapat, explores this historical question and comes up with a very interesting conclusion - that a highly-prominent member of the Cojuangco family may indeed be a direct yet hitherto unrecognized descendant of General Luna. ------------ Whatever happened to the alleged love- child born of Ysidra Cojuangco and Antonio Luna? The first question is answered by this series of articles which Ric Manapat helped research on and which he now calls The Story, of the Century, all ready to be further elaborated on and researched by him as he did my past articles. The second and third questions are answered in the body of this series. Finally there is one credible witness who quotes Ysidra Cojuangco herself admitting that Antonio Luna used to bring her gold not once, but regularly during the Philippine American War and our First Republic, almost till the day he died. And incredibly, we have found ample evidence to conclude that the love child of Ysidra and Luna might have survived, adopted by her brother Melecio, and may be one of the four sons of Melecio: either Jose, father of ex-President Corazon Aquino; Juan, the twice-married, childless one; Antonio, the father of Ramon and the grandfather of PLDT's president, or Eduardo, the father of presidential candidate Danding Cojuangco. Which one? Well, read this to find out.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE HOLY GRAIL IS ONE of the most powerful myths in Western Culture. At the centre of this myth is the story of the chalice containing the Holy Blood of Christ, shed when Longinus pierced his side at the crucifixion. The search for the Grail has inspired artists and mystics for hundreds of years. Many churches and cathedrals were built on sites that claimed their part in this sacred mystery. IMBUED WITH THE SPIRIT OF the ancient quest and aware of its power as an antidote to our modern spiritual malaise, Ean and Deike Begg travelled throughout Europe, researching sites of the Holy Grail, the Precious Blood and their associated myths. This book is an illustrated account of their search and a practical, informative guidebook for travellers and seekers. It is full of fascinating information, such as the name of the Spanish cathedral that holds the cup of the Last Supper, the story of how a fig tree carried the Precious Blood to France and the secrets of the Grail castles of Germany. 'I believe that Ean and Deike Begg have done something of great importance in exploring the myth of the Holy Grail that played such a vital part in the deeps of Jung's spirit, and in re-establishing how now it is still one of the most dynamic elements in the search of the lost and bewildered modern soul for wholeness.'-Sir Laurens van der Post 'Deike and Ean Begg have revitalized the idea of pilgrimage.'-Michael Baigent 'An exemplary and vividly written guide to the many strange and beautiful sites associated with the Grail quest throughout Europe.'-Count Nikolai Tolstoy
