Only problem: capturing her and forcing her back to Sinclair castle doesn’t exactly make her want to say yes. Ella Sutherland may be clever, passionate, and shockingly beautiful, but what she isn’t is willing. Every attempt Cain makes to woo her seems to backfire on him. A gift? The kitten practically claws his eyes out. A competitive game of chess? Even when he wins, he loses. It seems the only time the two ever see eye to eye is when they’re heating up Cain’s bed. Still, the only thing Ella truly wants is the one thing he cannot offer her: freedom. But when Cain discovers she’s been harboring a secret—one that could threaten both clans’ very existence—he’ll have to decide between peace for the Sinclairs or the woman who’s captured his heart. Each book in the Sons of Sinclair series is STANDALONE: * Highland Conquest * Highland Warrior * Highland Justice * Highland Beast * Highland Surrender

Download or read book The Pattern Under the Plough written by George Ewart Evans and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2012-11-15 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following his two classics, Ask the Fellows Who Cut the Hay and The Horse in the Furrow, renowned oral historian George Ewart Evans continues his study of the vanishing customs, working habits and rich language of the farming communities of East Anglia with The Pattern Under the Plough (Faber, 1966). Although based on East Anglia, this book was and remains of wider interest, for - as the author pointed out at the time - similar changes were occurring in North America, and also happening with remarkable speed in Africa. In chronicling the old culture George Ewart Evans has taken its two chief aspects, the home and the farm. He describes the house with its fascinating constructional details, the magic invoked for its protection, the mystique of the hearth, the link of the bees with the people of the house, and some of their fears and pre-occupations. Among the chapters on the farm is one of Evans's most original pieces of research: the description of the secret horse societies. Beautifully illustrated by David Gentleman, this book is important not only for the material it reveals about the past but for the implications for present-day society. 'As real (and as valuable) as the evidence unearthed by the spadework of archaeology.' Observer

Download or read book Death and Changing Rituals written by J. Rasmus Brandt and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2014-07-31 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The forms by which a deceased person may be brought to rest are as many as there are causes of death. In most societies the disposal of the corpse is accompanied by some form of celebration or ritual which may range from a simple act of deportment in solitude to the engagement of large masses of people in laborious and creative festivities. In a funerary context the term ritual may be taken to represent a process that incorporates all the actions performed and thoughts expressed in connection with a dying and dead person, from the preparatory pre-death stages to the final deposition of the corpse and the post-mortem stages of grief and commemoration. The contributions presented here are focused not on the examination of different funerary practices, their function and meaning, but on the changes of such rituals _ how and when they occurred and how they may be explained. Based on case studies from a range of geographical regions and from different prehistoric and historical periods, a range of key themes are examined concerning belief and ritual, body and deposition, place, performance and commemoration, exploring a complex web of practices.

Download or read book Revelation Mature Look written by Maurice Williams and published by . This book was released on 2018-09-14 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a rewrite of a book I wrote in 1988 in which I presented my conviction that Revelation was first of all a warning to the Judean people that if they did not accept the prophesized Jewish Messiah when he arrived in A.D. 27, God would reject them. A secondary message is that, at the end times, if the gentile world also does not accept the Messiah, God will then bring this present world to an end and commence his eternal heavenly kingdom where God will judge every person he created according to their works.My first book picked up on an argument proposed by J. Massyngberde Ford (in her introduction to revelation in the Anchor Bible Series) that most of Revelation came from the preaching of John the Baptist, who preached directly to the Judeans. The disciples of the Baptist (John the Evangelist was one of them) continued preaching the Baptist's warnings right up into the ministry of Jesus Christ. Finally, near the end of his life, the Evangelist put what he preached into writing. It included what he learned from John the Baptist and became the concluding book of the New Testament.After the crucifixion, the unbelieving Judeans and their descendants tried to defeat the Church and could have wiped out the Church if the revolt under Bar Kochba was successful in liberating Judea from Roman control. But Bar Kochba was totally defeated by Severus in A.D. 135 causing an immense slaughter of Jews. The surviving Judeans were deported elsewhere in the Roman Empire and foreign people were introduced into Palestine. Not many people are aware that for hundreds of years thereafter, only a very small population of Jewish people living in the ancestral homeland of the Jews.No other interpretation that I have reads has pinpointed the historical event that coincided with the fall of Judea like I did. I identify the historical fulfillment of Rev: 15:17 when the seventh angel pours out his vial saying "It is done." as the final defeat of Judea by General Severus in A.D. 135. Most interpretations never discuss the fall of Judea in A.D. 135. Instead, they try to predict a future event (future even to us) that will cause the final conflict when all gentile nations will fall.I also discuss how I think the scenes in Revelation apply to the end of times. I think God has been warning the modern world all along through apparitions by the mother of Christ. I try to show the relevance of the Devil, Lucifer, as the cause of the wickedness of humans. Lucifer is identified in Scripture as the instigator of evil. I think God cannot correct the evils of man until he finally punishes Lucifer in eternal damnation.In my new book, I also point out that the rebellion of the angel Lucifer, the Devil, is the cause of the rejection of the Messiah by the human race. I trace the influence of Lucifer misguiding the human race from the very beginning in the Garden of Eden. I point out how his influence misguided the human race all through history with false ideologies and human conquest by human utopias to try to conduct ourselves outside of Gods embrace.I was unsure how readers would view my book when I first launched publication of my book, but now I have seen many favorable reviews by readers of many different religious convictions that do not take exception to what I have written. This encouraged me to continue.I hope you read my book and find it interesting. At the very least, it should at least give you food for thought.

Download or read book Horse Power and Magic written by George Ewart Evans and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pioneering oral historian, George Ewart Evans, began to record the farming ways of East Anglia in the 1950s by listening to old men and women whose memories went back more than fifty or sixty years. Many were agricultural labourers, born before the turn of the century, who had worked on farms before the arrival of mechanisation. It was assumed at that time that horses would soon disappear from the farms, and that this was the last chance of recording the part they had played for centuries. It later became clear that this forecast was too pessimistic and in Horse Power and Magic (Faber, 1979) Ewart Evans describes in fascinating detail some important farms where horses continued to be beneficially used more than thirty years later. He discovered that the traditions of the older horsemen had not died out but had been passed on, in only slightly attenuated form, to a younger generation keen to farm with horses, proving that the day of the heavy horse was by no means over. He also describes vividly the ways of horse-tamers whose skills had a touch of 'magic' about them. 'Taking his works a whole, there is no doubt that George Ewart Evans will survive as a fascinating pioneer of the extra-academic recording of human history...he has found a dimension all his own. This is indeed the very stuff of history.' Sunday Times
