Warriors of God: 2 (The Hussite Trilogy)

Product Information

The process of persecuting the Templars in France and, more widely, across every territory in which they operated, ran between 1307-1312, at which time the Templars were formally abolished by a papal council known as the Council of Vienne. Two years later Jacques de Molay and several other Templar masters were brought from prison to be sentenced by a group of cardinals for their personal misdeeds. Jacques de Molay and one of his colleagues retracted previous confessions they’d made of heresy under torture and were burned at the stake in Paris. Acclaimed author James Reston, Jr.'s Warriors of God is the rich and engaging account of the Third Crusade (1187-1192), a conflict that would shape world history for centuries and which can still be felt in the Middle East and throughout the world today. James Reston, Jr. offers a gripping narrative of the epic battle that left Jerusalem in Muslim hands until the twentieth century, bringing an objective perspective to the gallantry, greed, and religious fervor that fueled the bloody clash between Christians and Muslims. The Polish game publisher, CD Projekt, created a role-playing PC game based on this universe, called The Witcher, which was released in October 2007. There is also a mobile version of the game which has been created by Breakpoint Games and is being published by Hands-On Mobile in Western Europe,Latin America and Asia Pacific. Anyone that knows me and my reading tastes knows I enjoy and appreciate politics and history and thorough world-building, but at times while reading this it felt like a history text book, and despite that being perfectly suited for some people, for me fiction (historical or not) shouldn't feel that dull.

Just to finish on worldbuilding: in other scenes, Sapkowski trolls the readers by tossing some intriguing details at them (e.g. the mysterious shrine in the caves) and then drops it, leaving the readers to marinade in curiosity and wonder what the hell on earth was that. Spin-off? Not likely. Reston’s main objective is to show the fascination society today still have for these men. The tensions of the Crusades are still felt today in many parts of the world. Muslim society sees Saladin as a great liberator, and many wait for the “next Saladin” to arise and unite them. Do you have children? Your mission is to teach them, to lead them, and to protect them. If you have a spouse, your mission is to fight for your marriage in a world that does not value marriage. Your mission as a Christian is to stand firm for Jesus by not wavering in the daily battle. This can be difficult because the ongoing battle can wear you down. When we are weary, we are more susceptible to temptation and defeat. In addition, we need to be warriors that refresh themselves in praise, prayer, and mediation in the word. In the period of the Crusades, no two men have fascinated the popular imagination as Richard I the Lionheart and Saladin. These two rivals came from two different worlds, but held similar values and determination. James Reston attempted to explain the attitudes that each man had towards his rival and their individual missions. Zorya Utrennyaya, goddess of the morning star, sometimes depicted as a warrior goddess who protected men in battle

As well as being Christian warriors, the Templars eventually controlled a vast financial network that included real estate, banking, and even a prototypical version of Western Union. Take us inside this empire.

Jael was a woman the Lord called to battle against the enemies of Israel in nontraditional way. With a single blow she defeated the general of the army of the Canaanites using the skills that she was given. Jael gave the general shelter when Sisera was on the run and after he had gone to sleep, she ended his life with one blow. Following God is the first step. Building relationship with Him the next. Because, as relationship and understanding of who He is develops, our character shifts. We begin to behave more like Him; because we spend time with Him. Maintain your attention on Christ, who both started and finished this race we’re in. Learn from his way. He can keep putting up with almost anything—cross, shame, whatever along the way—because he never let go of his goal, and now he stands next to God on the throne of glory.” Sapkowski has won five Zajdel Awards, including three for short stories "Mniejsze zło" (Lesser Evil) (1990), "Miecz przeznaczenia" (Sword of Destiny) (1992) and "W leju po bombie" (In a Bomb Crater) (1993), and two for the novels "Krew elfów" (Blood of Elves) (1994) and "Narrenturm" (2002). He also won the Spanish Ignotus Award, best anthology, for The Last Wish in 2003, and for "Muzykanci" (The Musicians), best foreign short story, same year.

The main character of The Witcher (alternative translation: The Hexer) is Geralt, a mutant assassin who has been trained since childhood to hunt down and destroy monsters. Geralt exists in an ambiguous moral universe, yet manages to maintain his own coherent code of ethics. At the same time cynical and noble, Geralt has been compared to Raymond Chandler's signature character Philip Marlowe. The world in which these adventures take place is heavily influenced by Slavic mythology. The mission of The One New Man Network is to be a bridge of unity and restoration between Israel and the Church, releasing God’s fullness throughout the earth. Our vision is to bring revival to Israel, the Church, and the nations through a deeper understanding and revelation of the power of covenant. Our purpose is to facilitate covenant restoration through the reconciliation of Jews and Gentiles coming together as the One New Man. OUR CORE VALUES: Honor We believe that honor is a force and we treat each person with a level of value and respect that allows us to take the role of a servant in the relationship. Truth We believe that God’s truth has the power to set people free, and we do everything in our power to remain faithful to His truth, in thought, in word, and in deed. Integrity We adhere to biblically based moral and ethical principles, and maintain these principles both in public and in private. Statement of Faith What We Believe… As I went about reorganizing my library after a recent move, I decided to give the book another read through. And while it has its flaws, the book is still a great read for anyone interested in the Crusades. On top of that, God using us as a vessel has nothing to do with our past, our place in society, or our capability level. God makes use of basic, bare, and even damaged vessels; however, He won’t use a filthy one. As the Word of God explained in 2 Timothy 2:21, “If you keep yourself pure, you will be a utensil God can use for his purpose. Your life will be clean, and you’ll be ready for the Master to use you for every good work.” These affections were prophesied by no less a figure than Merlin the magician, who proclaimed that “the eagle of the broken covenant shall rejoice in her third nesting.””Proverbs 2:7-8 – He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones. The chase went on. Before it - announcing it like an outrider - sped Horror. And Terror settled behind it like dust."
