  • Roman Britain

    Richard Russell Lawrence, Peter Crooks

    Paperback (Shire Publications, April 20, 2010)
    For nearly four centuries, Britain served as the western border of the Roman Empire. Invaded in 43 AD, it was initially a wild place prone to Celtic uprisings such as those led by Boudicca. However, as the decades passed, the unrest settled and the Romans set to work building temples, roads, baths and villas. Life in Britain became similar to life an any of the corners of the Empire with the order and culture of the Empire mixing freely with the native cultures. Discover what it was like to be a citizen of the greatest Empire in the world while at the same time living near the edge of the map.
  • The Salem Witch Hunt: A Captivating Guide to the Hunt and Trials of People Accused of Witchcraft in Colonial Massachusetts

    Captivating History

    Hardcover (Ch Publications, Dec. 2, 2019)
    If you want to discover the captivating history of the Salem Witch Hunt, then keep reading...Decades after witch-hunting had begun to die down in Europe, North America was about to witness its bloodiest witch hunt in history. The Massachusetts of 1692 was a very different one to the state we know today. Populated by colonists, many of them a generation or less from life in an England bathed in religious turmoil, Massachusetts was not the safe haven that the fleeing Puritans had hoped it would be. Persecuted for their faith in Europe, the Puritans had pictured a kind of utopia founded on biblical principles. They saw the New World as a new beginning, a kind of second chance for humanity. It would be only 72 years after the arrival of the Mayflower that the events in Salem would make it blatantly obvious that humanity had already blown it again. This is not the story of the trials. This is the story of its people. This is not an attempt to explain the events of 1692. It is an attempt to bring to life the victims who died so unjustly. In this book, we will walk side by side with the destitute Sarah Good as she realizes that after having lost all she owns, her reputation, her baby, and even her life will still be taken from her. We stand at the bar with Rebecca Nurse, a sweet little old lady who is sentenced to hang for what she must have perceived to be the most heinous of crimes. We witness George Burroughs at the gallows, a former minister now condemned to die for his supposed alliance with Satan, as he delivers a speech so stirring that it takes quick thinking from his enemies to prevent the crowd from rushing forth to cut him down. We feel our own breaths catching as we watch the cruel and greedy Sheriff George Corwin piling rocks onto the fragile eighty-year-old body of Giles Corey, who is determined to die without entering a plea so that his sons will still get the inheritance he promised them. We will walk through this history in the footprints of those who suffered the hardest in it. The Salem witch hunt and trials killed many and ruined the lives of countless others. And this is their story. In The Salem Witch Hunt: A Captivating Guide to the Hunt and Trials of People Accused of Witchcraft in Colonial Massachusetts, you will discover topics such as Witches in Europe Salem Strange Afflictions The Affliction of Elizabeth Hubbard The Confession of Tituba Fuel on the Fire The Madness Intensifies The Reverend in League with the Devil The First Casualty Hanging A Bid for Mercy The Reverend Hangs Crushed Eight Innocent Firebrands Glimmers of Sense Not Guilty The Last Casualty Life After the Trials The Second Salem Remembering Salem And much, much more!

  • Black Lives Don't Matter: in Trump's America

    Ross

    eBook (Ross Publications, Oct. 21, 2018)
    I had a dream that one day this nation will be cast down and made humble for oppressing God's chosen people: "We hold the hypocrisy of this country to be self-evident; that all men are not treated with equality." I had a dream that one day that the red hills of the Caucasus Georgia mountains will be smashed to dust by the hand of God, the sons of former slaves will own the sons of previous slave owners, for the Lord has said those who leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity. I had a dream that one day even the city of Chicago, a city drowning in the ocean of self-hating black on black crime, will be transformed into a town of Blacks, Native, and Hispanics who love each other as brothers and sisters of Israel. I had a dream that one day, over in the city of Los Angeles, with its racial history of police brutality, and outright killing of Gods elect, one day my people will turn back to God. They will return to his commandments, and the Lord will hear their cries and repay the heathen one hundred-fold for the blood of the children of Israel which was shed all over this land. I had a dream. I had a dream that one day every ghetto shall be exalted, every skyscraper shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. This is my faith, the belief that God will break the yoke of our oppression and sit our oppressor down in the miry clay. And Gods angels shall separate the wheat from the tare, the oppressed from the oppressor, and the children of God from the Synagogue of Satan. On that day, God's children will finally have rest. If America was made to be a great nation from the genocide of the Native American, the enslavement of the so-called Black American, and the oppression of Hispanics, this must become true. So let God’s judgment ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let God's Judgment ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let God’s judgment ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania. Let God’s Judgment ring from the snow-capped Rockies of Colorado. Let Gods Judgment ring from the curvaceous slopes of California. But not only that, let God’s Judgment ring from the Stone Mountain of Georgia. Let God’s Judgment ring from the Lookout Mountain of Tennessee. Let God’s Judgment ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let God’s Judgment ring. And when this happens, when God’s Judgment rings from every state and every city, We will no longer fear for our lives, we will no longer be ashamed of being black, we will no longer hate one another, we will no longer fear Satan. Our fear shall be in the power of the Almighty, and we will know that he is LORD.

    From prize-winning historical novelist Louise Allen, this book presents nine walks through both the London Jane Austen knew and the London of her novels! Follow in Jane's footsteps to her publisher's doorstep and the Prince Regent's vanished palace, see where she stayed when she was correcting proofs of Sense and Sensibility and accompany her on a shopping expedition – and afterwards to the theatre. In modern London the walker can still visit the church where Lydia Bennett married Wickham, stroll with Elinor Dashwood in Kensington Palace Gardens or imagine they follow Jane's naval officer brothers as they stride down Whitehall to the Admiralty. From well-known landmarks to hidden corners, these walks reveal a lost London that can still come alive in vivid detail for the curious visitor, who will discover eighteenth-century chop houses, elegant squares, sinister prisons, bustling city streets and exclusive gentlemen's clubs amongst innumerable other Austen-esque delights.

  • The Golden Rule: A Dialogue Between Little Grace And Her Mother

    Anonymous, CrossReach Publications

    language (CrossReach Publications, Aug. 28, 2015)
    To my dear little Readers.I have written a little book for you about our Saviour's Golden Rule, and I write this little Preface to tell you that I do not know that any such persons as Grace Jones and her mother ever lived; but I have imagined that a little girl and her mother were talking, and I have given them names, and put words into their mouths, because I thought I could make you understand me in this way better than I could in any other way. I tell you this, because I do not wish to deceive you by telling you anything that is not true; for I do not believe in telling little lies. I should be very glad, if you would always do to others as you would like to have them do to you. Then think, while reading this, how you would like to have little children do, if you had taken pains to write a little book and get it printed for them. Would you not like to have them read it very carefully, and mind everything in it ? That is what I hope you will do, when you read this little book, that I have written for you.The Author

  • Genghis Khan: A Captivating Guide to the Founder of the Mongol Empire and His Conquests Which Resulted in the Largest Contiguous Empire in History

    Captivating History

    Hardcover (Ch Publications, Dec. 2, 2019)
    If you want to discover the captivating life of Genghis Khan, then keep reading...Around the year 1162, near the modern capital of Mongolia, a baby boy was born into a fractious and violent world. The birth of this child must have caused quite a stir among the members of the nomadic tribe that he had been born into; word soon traveled that the son of YesĂźgei, the Borjigin tribal leader, had been born clutching a blood clot in his tiny hand.Mongol folklore hailed this as a sign that the child would grow up to be a great leader of men, but perhaps history would interpret the baby's gruesome prize as a foreshadowing of the bloodshed that would accompany his life and his legacy.The story of TemĂźjin, and Genghis Khan as he would later be known, is a story about stories. We have few original sources to tell us about his life, and the sources we do have are often contradictory or untrustworthy, so historians have had to piece together the story of Genghis Khan and fill in the blanks.What you will discover in this book is a combination of historical fact, expert conjecture, and myths and legends, filtered through the changing eyes of history and retold through many generations. There are many things we simply do not know about the enigmatic figure of Genghis Khan. There are many things that we think we know that may ultimately prove to be untrue. What is important is the story. Just as the young TemĂźjin must have sat around a campfire to be regaled by stories of his ancestral wolf heritage, we now sit around this virtual campfire to share the story of Genghis Khan.In Genghis Khan: A Captivating Guide to the Founder of the Mongol Empire and His Conquests Which Resulted in the Largest Contiguous Empire in History, you will discover topics such as The Mongolian Steppe TemĂźjin Becoming Genghis Khan Building the Mongol Empire Life in Genghis Khan's Empire Military Genius Innovation Death and Succession The Mongol Empire After Genghis Khan Pax Mongolica The End of an Empire And much, much more!

  • The Mongol Conquests: A Captivating Guide to the Invasions and Conquests Initiated by Genghis Khan That Created the Vast Mongol Empire

    Captivating History

    Hardcover (Ch Publications, Dec. 2, 2019)
    If you want to discover the captivating history of the Mongol Conquests, then keep reading...The Mongols were also known to be both merciful as well as tolerant. Moreover, their conquests weren't aimed against civilized life; in fact, they helped connect numerous cultures and facilitated the spread of ideas and knowledge across the continent. Of course, the Mongols themselves were not uncultured brutes, as they had their own civilization, society, and traditions. With all that being said, this does not mean they were innocent for all the destruction they caused. Instead, it is implied that the Mongols weren't like fire, causing annihilation wherever they passed. They were more like water, capable of causing floods and carving mountains while at the same time creating fertile soil and giving life.Like many other topics in history, the Mongol story has more than one side, and this book will try to present as many as possible. It will explore both the bloody history of Genghis Khan and his conquests while showing that he and his fellow Mongols were capable of much more than that. Diving deep inside their culture and society, we'll cast off their barbaric image. They will be exposed for what they actually were, mere humans like any other on this Earth. Hopefully, by the end of this guide of the Mongol conquests, you will get a better understanding of not only the history of the Mongols but of all of humankind as well.In The Mongol Conquests: A Captivating Guide to the Invasions and Conquests Initiated by Genghis Khan That Created the Vast Mongol Empire, you will discover topics such as Origin of the Mongols Rise of Genghis Khan and the Unification of the Steppes The Mongol Conquest of the East Genghis Khan's Revenge Death and Succession of the Great Khan From Unity to Division - Genghis' Heirs The Last of the Great Khans The Mongol War Machine Mongol State, Society, and Culture And much, much more!

  • Sailing with Paul: Guidance for Young People in the Lord

    H. A. Ironside

    language (CrossReach Publications, Oct. 13, 2014)
    There are many lessons to be learned from a careful study of Luke's account of Paul’s voyage to Rome. Taken literally, it shows us, in a wonderful way, the personal care of the Lord Jesus Christ for His beloved servant in a time of great stress and difficulty. The particular incident recorded in Acts 27:21-26 is that to which I especially desire to draw each reader’s attention.For long, weary days and nights neither sun nor stars had been visible. The captain of the ship was in despair; the mariners, hopeless. Then it was that Paul, “the prisoner of the Lord" (Ephesians 4: l]—how lovely a title: not a prisoner of Caesar, nor of Rome, but of the Lord!—became the comforter of all in the ship, comforting them with the comfort wherewith he had just been comforted of God. For to him an angel of the Lord had appeared, standing by him, and saying. “Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee."It is my purpose in this pamphlet to trace out some of the precious truths Paul was chosen to make known for our eternal blessing. Only let each reader be sure he or she is one who sails with Paul, for to none other do they apply.About CrossReach Publications: We are a family based home business.
