Book excerpt: Joan of Arc was perhaps the most wonderful person who ever lived in the world. The story of her life is so strange that we could scarcely believe it to be true, if all that happened to her had not been told by people in a court of law, and written down by her deadly enemies, while she was still alive. She was burned to death when she was only nineteen: she was not seventeen when she first led the armies of France to victory, and delivered her country from the English.

Book excerpt: Hugo Marston must figure out what lies hidden inside an old sailor's chest before a 200-year-old blood promise is revealed and claims another life. In post-Revolution Paris, an old man signs a letter in blood, then hides it in a secret compartment in a sailor's chest. A messenger arrives to transport the chest and its hidden contents, but then the plague strikes and an untimely death changes history. Two hundred years later, Hugo Marston is safeguarding an unpredictable but popular senator who is in Paris negotiating a France/U.S. dispute. The talks, held at a country chateau, collapse when the senator accuses someone of breaking into his room. Theft becomes the least of Hugo's concerns when someone discovers a sailor's chest and the secrets hidden within, and decides that the power and money they promise are worth killing for. But when the darkness of history is unleashed, even the most ruthless and cunning are powerless to control it. From the Trade Paperback edition.

While she lay motionless on the forest floor, Inaiya communes with her Family of Light and is downloaded with a vivid, multi-dimensional transmission that illuminates the seeding of Universal Christ Consciousness, encoded to blossom within her and the hearts of all beings at this unprecedented epoch in time. Inaiya is shown how life on Earth would be brought back into balance through each being undergoing the inner alchemy of the Divine Marriage. Inaiya, along with humanity, was at a vital crossroads, where her destiny called her irresistibly forth to embark upon an initiatory journey and follow a chain of synchronicities that would unveil the true nature of the Beloved. You are invited to venture along with Inaiya through the mythic Grail lines of Glastonbury, the French Pyrenees, Mediterranean Coast, Italy and Greece as she traces and re-discovers the richly encoded wisdom and timeless transmissions of the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine as they rise, newly empowered to usher in an awakened New Earthunified in Oneness, sovereignty and resounding beauty.

Steeped in humility, humour, and the transparent quandaries of a modern day Priestess, The Grail Rider is an offering of love, here to awaken and inspire all those who are called to return to the heart of the wild Divine.
Download or read book Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc written by Mark Twain and published by WordFire +ORM. This book was released on 2022-05-01 with total page 573 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A novel of the life of the defender of medieval France by the celebrated author of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. She saved France when she was fourteen . . . She was burned at the stake for her efforts . . . Meet the girl who captured Mark Twain’s heart. A forgotten masterpiece from one of America’s greatest authors—and the last full-length novel he ever wrote—Joan of Arc follows the Savior of France from her childhood in Domrémy, to her campaigns throughout the French countryside, to her demise at the hands of the English and Burgundians. Mark Twain was sarcastic, witty, and oft-irreverent, but he had a soft spot for the Maid of Orléans. (As will you after you read this book!) He spent twelve years in research, two in writing, including multiple visits to the National Archives in Paris, and proclaimed Joan of Arc the “best of all my books!” If you love well-written classics of stunning historical figures, then this is the book for you.
Download or read book Joan of Arc written by and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This sourcebook collects together for the first time in English the major documents relating to the life and contemporary reputation of Joan of Arc. Also known as La Pucelle, she led a French Army against the English in 1429, arguably turning the course of the war in favour of the French king Charles VII. The fact that she achieved all of this when just a seventeen-year-old peasant girl highlights the magnitude of her achievements and also opens up other ways of looking at her story. For many, Joan represents the voice of ordinary people in the fifteenth century; the victims of high politics and warfare that devastated France. Her story ended tragically in 1431 when she was put on trial for heresy and sorcery by an ecclesiastical court and was burned at the stake. This book shows how the trial, which was organised by her enemies, provides an important window into late medieval attitudes towards religion and gender, as Joan was effectively persecuted by the established Church for her supposedly non-conformist views on spirituality and the role of women. Presented within a contextual and critical framework, this book encourages scholars and students to rethink this remarkable story. It will be invaluable reading for those working in the fields of medieval society and heresy, as well as the Hundred Years’ War.
