What can I say about a book that brings you to tears at the magnitude of God's wondrous love for his people Miracle of Israel: The Shocking, Untold Story of God’s Love for His People by Gary Frazier & Jim Fletcher  starts out with an amazing story of how God saved the Israel army today , not just in Bible past.  A  must read as one needs to know that God does indeed still do miracles.  This is the history of he Jews, much we already know but  then there are so many modern  uplifting stories that  we probably have over looked. How often do e follow Israel's wars.  We should to be amazed at our God. The author  points all the Glory to God.  This is an out standing   book that pastors will want to read.  It opens your eyes to understanding this small country better. The history of the Bible which we have read a million times come alive!  I encourage you to read this book as it is  not too long so you will not be board- in fact you will want it to continue.

I am not sure I agree with all the doctrine but again I am not an expert on  this subject,  I will do a little  more studying,

Wow!!!!! From the Dark to the Dawn: A Tale of Ancient Rome

From the Dark to the Dawn: A Tale of Ancient Rome

My praise for this book are not high enough . This is one christen teenagers fiction which is worth reading, Actually it is also good for adults  too. I was so impressed with the writing style of this thriller. This would be a great read for a home schooling family studying Rome. I highly recommenced it for boys. This will get your non reader to read! This is not your normal christen fiction  where God is just thrown in a few inappropriate  parts. The christen faith and lal that pertains to  God is the life of the story. One can not extract it from the book or there will be nothing to this read. It is not like other books where if you took God out you could have a fine book.  You feel that God is the authors life. Some day Lord willing I want to own all her books!

From the Dark to the Dawn

Decadent Rome, 61 Anno Domini. The masters of the universe have crushed the Iceni rebellion with an iron hand, slaughtering and enslaving her people.

For Philip, his existence as a captive means living to hatred. He despises his rich, young master, resenting his life of servitude and the wrestling feats Marcus forces him to perform. Bitterness engulfs his soul until he only lives for the day when he will crush the might of Rome.

Then Christianity enters the picture. Taught by a Jewish breadmaker to know the man called Christus, Philip begins the struggle to forgive and honor his master. But forgiveness is not easy towards one who lives for himself.

Marcus Virginius knows nothing but power and pleasure. Destined to a successful career serving Nero in the Praetorian Guard, he wants no part of Christianity. And he is determined to crush Philip’s newfound faith – no matter what it takes.

Join Philip and Marcus in their journey of redemption, faith, and forgiveness. Is love enough to conquer hate? And will the light of the gospel ever surmount the darkness of Rome?

Persecution abounds – will the two young men survive its terrors and live to experience the bright hope of a new dawn?
On From the Dark to the Dawn:

"Alicia Willis transports readers back to the troubled clash between the crushing might of Imperial Rome and the vengeful determination of the Celtic occupants of ancient Britain. From the Dark to the Dawn: A Tale of Ancient Rome will delight readers of historical fiction."

Pershing

I must confess i didn’t know that much about Pereshing  but having enjoyed the author's civil war book I decided to read this book! .A lesser know General than most of them ,but a very important one .This is the

 latest in Thomas Nelson's The Generals Series.  The full title is Pershing: Commander of the Great War. I received a free copy from BookSneeze,

)

This  book was written to provide a  short biography of some of the great military leaders of American History. One of the intentions is to include a look at the personal and religious life of the generals in question as well as their military success. John Perry has tackled several biographies, including the aforementioned biography of Lee in this series and one of his wife!. Here, he crafts a compelling tale of General "Black Jack" Pershing who commanded the American Expeditionary Force during the Great War, World War I. Pershing is perhaps the least known of the few Generals of the Army that the United States has had.
The book covers the span of Pershing's life, beginning with his first memories of a border battle in the Civil War. Further details about the early life of Pershing include his teaching of children of former slaves and the impact of the end of the Franco-Prussian War on his family. The first chapter moves at a great clip from the childhood of Pershing to his graduation from West Point.
The following chapters summarize Pershing's life in the military. His personal life is mentioned but not heavily dwelt on until his marriage, and his religious beliefs are vaguely alluded to at one point. Perry gives the reader a look at where Pershing served, what his life was like, and where he went next.
Details are served in highlighting short incidents, with an eye toward illuminating the man through vignettes. " When the French General-in-chief relieved him of command, Pershing ignored the order and went on to stop the Germans forty five miles from Paris,saving a nation  and probably a Continent.
In all, I feel like I know a little more about General Pershing although I am still in the middle of the book. Recommended for history buffs, students, and military folks.  You will find this author has an excellent

 writing quality and interesting subject material on generals in the United States' past. This book tells of John Joseph Pershing, General of the Armies during World War I. Yet this amazing figure has been overshadowed by other generals in history, despite his contributions to our nation.

John Pershing was the leader of the United States forces during World War I, but his war experience led back far further. He was involved in the Spanish-American war, as governor of the Philippines, and in the American West.
Again, this biography is written by John Perry, who has a history of excellent biography after his Lee work. I highly recommend this book to learn a little bit more about a great man in American history that is worth learning about. 

He also is the author of Lady of Arlington, the biography of Mary Custis Lee, wife of Robert E. Lee and great-granddaughter of Martha Washington

War Over Lincoln`s Tariff

The Real Cause of the War  or War Over  Lincoln`s Tariff  by Dr. R. L. Dabney

 

This 36 page booklet is very informative. It has an Appendix  on Abolitionism by H. Rondel Rumburg.

 

During the war Dabney  became Chaplin, following that chief of staff upon Jackson request and then  was requested by the Widowed Mrs. Jackson to write a biography of her husband Jackson. All this and more information can be found on the back of this book.

 

What was the war all about? Was it over slavery or the desire of Lincoln to collect a tariff ? In the opening chapter  Dabney gives a brief history of Virgina. Then the Controversial account of Fort Sumter is written  bring forth , the truth.  Colonel Baldwin visits  the president  at the white house  where he  asked Abraham L. to  remain faithful to the Constitution and  that they would support him. Afterwards C. Baldwin lays out a plan but too it the  L. wasts to know  what “would become of his  tariff? ”

The delema was what to do with the succeeding states, should they go in peace or be compelled to remain by force.  Many newspapers and Northers firmly believed in letting the states depart in peace for that was according to the constitution.

In conclusion of the first section of this book we will understand it best by this quote “When Virginia offered him (Lincoln) a safe way to preserve the union, he preferred to destroy the union and preserve his tariffs. ”

Secondly we are rightly asked to question the true purpose of the Civil war, in the shadow of the proceeding section. Consider how the North thought the battle would be a brief one, brimming full of victory because the south was too boastful, and thus would draw back in a sudden defeat. In the conclusion their wish for the outcome of the war would be to have centralized Federal power, with high tariffs where they could have power and riches.    I need not extract much from this chapter as it can not be fully understood unless read for ones self, which is very vital in order to have a deep and clear knowledge of the times known as the Civil war.

 

Lastly a most wonderfully written Appendix on Abolitionism by H. Rondel Rumburg is put before us.  Abolitionists used Christianity as a cover up for their movements, so that they could justify their actions.  Learn what the Bible says about slavery and how by freeing the salves in the Underground Railroad, sin was being harbored, as the holy word of God was twisted by mans sinful heart. These people used the Bible for their own ways considering each of them a prophet in his on right.  In reality their main goal, masked over by freeing the salves, was really destroying the south that represented Christianity which they hated in its true forum. Rev Barnes the Northern Presbyterian states “ Show me that the Bible sanctions salvery and the Bible is no Bible to me. ”

In the end there is so much information in this short booklet, that is worth while reading and pondering, that one might have a better and clearer understanding about some of the most twisted http://www.biblicalandsouthernstudies.com/?page=shop/flypage&product_id=28&keyword=dabney&searchby=author&offset=0&fs=1facts of the uncivil war. One will not be disappointed with this volume.
