Real Knights: Over 20 True Stories of Battle and Adventure

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gravett, Christopher / James, John, PUBLISHER: Enchanted Lion Books, What do Lancelot, Traistan and Sir Gawain have in common? They were not real knights. But what do El Cid, Arnold of Ardres, Hermann von Salza and Edward the Black Prince share? They were real knights. What were "real knights" really like? Did they resemble their larger-than-life counterparts of fiction and legend? Or were they unscrupulous warriors, often little better than brigands in their pursuit of land and loot? As REAL KNIGHTS shows, one of the reasons knights continue to intrigue us is because they remain contradictory figures, high-minded and chivalrous, as well as ruthless. In REAL KNIGHTS, the careers of 20 celebrated individual knights are examined. The book also provides a context for these individual stories by presenting historical background on early knights, the Crusades, the age of chivalry, the Hundred Years War, and the age of the professional knight. In addition, special sections focus on such topics as armor, weapons and fighting techniques; warfare; tournaments; life in a castle; and clothes, food and entertainment. John James's highly detailed, vivid illustrations stunningly recreate the authentic look of the knights themselves as well as the atmosphere of the age, while the accompanying text allows for an informative and entertaining exploration of the world of chivalry and the careers of knights from many different corners of Europe.

No One Sees My Pain

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Naylor, Angela, PUBLISHER: Xulon Press, And They Overcame By The Blood Of The Lamb And Through The Words Of Their Testimony This book is my personal testimony of my journey to find life or to find God, in that they are one and the same. It is the revelation of the truth about life revealed to me from the mouth of Jesus, out of the belly of the Holy Spirit and from the breath of God. It reveals the sheep mentality from the goat mentality, a natural state of mind from a supernatural state of mind. It reveals the truth of God from the opinions of religion. This book takes you on a life-changing journey designed to impact humanity through all eternity. It is the truth that makes you free. It creates a wheel in the middle of a wheel. This book has understanding that creates a bridge over troubled waters, an ark of safety, and the Lord as our Shepherd. When you read this book you will find that humanity is in slavery to life, just as the Hebrew were in slavery to Pharaoh. You will find that slavery is always about economics. That Jesus died to free us from the contaminations of a mindset that holds us captive to a natural world system. A system that dictates life to us, causing us to conform to a way of thinking that robs us of our created value. Therefore, causing the gift of life to be contrary to the existence that God created it to be. WE ARE LIVING A COUNTERFEIT LIFE

German antitank units were the bane of Allied tankers. Averbeck supplies the reader with details of Panzerjager training, equipment, Panzerjager battle tactics, and personal observations of humor and sorrow that reveal in great detail one young man's life on the Third Reich's two fronts.
