Kings & Presidents: Politics and the Kingdom of God

Kings & Presidents: Politics and the Kingdom of God

Timothy R. Gaines

Beacon Hill Press of Kansas City
2015
nidottu
This book may not be the kind of thing you can discuss in polite company. How do we deal with it? What if a faithful approach to politics wasn't simply about who was going to win the next election? How might our political hope change when we encounter a God who offers us a different kind of kingdom?God isn't asking the church to be politically uninformed, apathetic, or even bi-partisan. On the contrary. God is asking us to be faithful citizens of the kingdom-a kingdom of surprising hope where the majority of God's work to save the world will be done.In Kings and Presidents, authors Tim Gaines and Shawna Songer Gaines helps us recast our political hope by challenging the claim that history is written exclusively by the powerful. Through a careful study of 2 Kings, we will find that trusting in God's faithfulness is plenty political, and it has real implications for our communities, the world, and the kind of political hope we can find in it all.Read this interview with the authors Tim Gaines and Shawna Songer Gaines Read Now

AMBERLEY PUBLISHING

For a medieval English king, delegation was a necessary evil; and nowhere more necessary – nor more potentially disastrous – than on the Anglo-Welsh borders. The Marcher lords first empowered by William I were relied upon by subsequent Norman and Plantagenet kings to protect the dangerous frontiers of the realm. In Wales, as in Ireland, the smaller size and military weakness of divided neighbouring states encouraged conquest, with the seized lands enhancing the power of the aggressive English lords. They were granted ever greater authority by the monarch, to the point where they believed they ruled like kings. They intermarried, schemed for extra lands and snatched power in a complex and often violent political process. Owing to their resources and unparalleled military effectiveness, they soon came to overawe kings and dominate national events. The strength of the Marcher lords would come to the fore at numerous times in the nation’s history in the shape of notorious figures such as Simon de Montfort and Roger Mortimer. The civil war of King Stephen’s reign, the baronial resistance to King John, the overthrow of Edward II and Richard II; all of these crises turned upon the involvement of the lords of the Marches. Timothy Venning explores their mentality and reveals the dramatic careers both of those who prospered from their loyalty to the king and those whose power was gained by treachery – from the Norman Conquest to the beginnings of the Tudor dynasty.

Viking Kings Part 2: Dreams of Empire

Viking Kings Part 2: Dreams of Empire

James Timothy Palmer

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2015
nidottu
This is an historical novel about Scandinavian kings of England, and those who would be king, especially King Harald III of Norway, who is renowned in Scandinavia but almost unknown elsewhere. He was popularised in a saga written some 150 years after his death, by Snorri Sturluson, which is considered as history by many Scandinavians. I have based this novel on historical facts, which I have embroidered extensively. The dates are correct for the campaigns and events, and all of the major characters existed and made their contribution to history. What sparked my interest in the first place was, that if King Harald had not invaded just three weeks before William the Conqueror in 1066, the English language, would probably be totally different today. Harald decimated Earl Morcar's English northern army and inflicted a lethal blow on Harold II's army of the south. The army that faced William was a shadow of what it would have been without Harald III's untimely invasion. One of my aims is to rebalance people's view of history. For example most people even the Greeks haven't heard of the Varangian Guard, of five thousand Norsemen (and Anglo-Saxons after 1066), who formed the core of the Byzantine army for over five centuries. The Russians and Ukrainians think of themselves as Slavic and tend to ignore their Scandinavian heritage. The British also tend to forget their Scandinavian heritage. Half of England was Danish throughout the 9th, 10th and 11th centuries, and all the Scottish islands until the 15th century. English has a large number of Danish words, for example: happy, call, window. Furthermore, the beneficiary of Harald's failed invasion of England, William the Conqueror, was himself of Danish descent. Part Two of the novel continues until King Harald's death in September 1066, in the battle near Stamford Bridge, Yorkshire. During this second period of his life he became known as Harald Hardrada, which translates as Harald the Ruthless. Perhaps "The Unrelenting", would be a better epithet, as he certainly was persistent in his claim to all of Cnut's lands, including England.

Visions of the King

Visions of the King

Timothy Raymond

Teach Services, Inc.
2020
pokkari
Timothy Raymond stresses that the last book in Scripture is not a revelation of beasts, horns, and other symbols; it is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, the One who willingly placed Himself on the altar to save us from our sins, thoroughly defeated the devil and loosened his mortal grip on our race, and promises to culminate this victory by coming back to take His faithful followers home.Many avid students of Bible prophecy will consider Visions of the King a fascinating contribution to this literary genre. The intricate manner in which he highlights scriptural parallels that may be new to even seasoned Adventist laypeople and scholars will prompt readers to put on their thinking caps and prayerfully evaluate these intriguing connections.Raymond's premise is Jesus Christ's heavenly coronation as King, which must occur before He returns to earth to culminate His victory over the father of evil. The author often emphasizes the biblical pattern of celestial events instigating terrestrial counterparts, with our Lord's inauguration as High Priest and Pentecost being a prime example. One of the more exciting studies within these pages is the parable of the ten virgins, which Raymond found to be significantly rooted in the Old Testament.The author hopes that those who invest some of their time into studying these themes will achieve optimal alertness and fullness of the Holy Spirit, thus being thoroughly prepared to attend the wedding feast of the Groom.

Jesus proclaimed the Kingdom of God was here and now. So how can we manifest the Kingdom through our own lives? In these short 15 studies we examine the Kingdom of God through the life and teachings of Jesus to learn what is expected of us as followers of Jesus Christ. Focusing primarily on practical principles that Jesus gives us by the example of his life and teaching, we will examine our own assumptions about the Kingdom, and how we can be better citizens of God's Kingdom on earth today.
