pokkari
The Four Gifts of the King is a story of salvation and hope told through an adventure that stirs the imagination and speaks to the soul. When Sam Roberts learns he is dying, he is faced with a decision that will determine his legacy and alter forever the destinies of his four adult children. With his lifelong friend Walter at his side, Sam writes his last words to his children. His legacy would come not through money or power, but through a parable. Sam takes his children and readers alike on the breathtaking adventure of Steward of Aiden Glenn and his quest to find the King and learn the purpose for his life. The Four Gifts of the King is a saga of truth and deception, of trust and love, of courage and victory, and of faith. At its heart is the importance of family and coming home to the values that shape adults from children. It calls readers to consider their own legacy. It’s a parable that changed the lives of Sam’s children forever, as it changes the lives of all who read it.

Cromwell and Scotland

This book examines the role of religion in the story of Oliver Cromwell’s invasion and subsequent occupation of Scotland. Analysis of the printed propaganda produced by the Scots and the English makes it clear that both nations defined their positions, and gained support, in overtly religious terms. During their decade-long occupation of Scotland, the English Commonwealth actively sought to undermine Scottish Presbyterianism. Public disputes, public preaching and Scotland’s printing presses were all used to weaken the influence of the Kirk, while eager English soldiers and chaplains tried to convert Scots to their own particular religious sects. Policies of the Scottish Kirk and State in the previous decade had ostracised a significant portion of the Scottish people. As a result, English missionaries found some Scots eager to hear alternative forms of Protestantism preached. Dispelling myths that the sectarian presence had little impact on Scottish religion, this book describes the endeavours of the Independents, Baptists and Quakers to gain converts, with varying degrees of success.

R. Scott Yarbrough has combined his talents as poet and as painter to produce a truly unusual book of art and poetry. The poems are lyric in that they deal with personal emotional experiences and conditions and do so with masterfully blended images and sounds. The paintings comment upon the poems in surprising ways using images, lines, and colors created with an unusual artistic medium: fingernail polish. In a charming introduction, Yarbrough explains why he chose thus to experiment with nail polish as well as how he resolved some problems using it. The book is moving and delightful to read and wonderful to examine.

The Unholy Consult: The Aspect-Emperor: Book Four
In this shattering conclusion to The Aspect-Emperor books, praised for their "sweeping epic scale and detailed historical world-building"* R. Scott Bakker delivers the harrowing and long-awaited finish to a story cycle that has stretched across seven books in two series. In The Unholy Consult, the Men of the Great Ordeal have been abandoned by Anas rimbor Kellhus, and the grand crusade has devolved into cannibalism and chaos. When Exalt-General Proyas, with Prince-Imperial Kayutas at his side, attempts to gain control of the lost Men and continue their march to Golgotterath, it rapidly becomes clear that the lost Lord-and-Prophet is not so easily shaken from the mission. When Sorweel, the Believer-King of Sakarpus, and Serwa, daughter of the Aspect-Emperor, join the Great Ordeal, they discover that the shortest path is not always the most obvious, or the safest. Souls, morality, and relationships are called into question when no one can be trusted, and the price for their sins is greater than they imagined. Powerful and haunting, this thrilling final installment of Bakker's groundbreaking series is epic fantasy not to be missed. An uncompromising portrayal of a catastrophic world of myth, war, and sorcery, the scope and creativity of the Aspect-Emperor books stand alongside George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire.
