Book excerpt: In Juliana Garnett’s enchanting romance of medieval England, a dashing nobleman and a seductive aristocrat on opposite sides of the law discover that the heart knows no boundaries. Tré Devaux, Third Baron of Brayeton, has just been appointed Sheriff of Nottingham. His first task: to rid the land of the Saxon outlaws who undermine the Norman rule . . . or face the wrath of his vengeful king. Tré is determined to let no one stand in his way, not even the captivating Lady Jane Neville, a known sympathizer to the Saxon cause whose unbridled spirit evokes feelings in Tré he thought were long buried. Although she seems to be the very definition of the perfect English lady, Jane Neville is much more than an elegant noblewoman. She is the niece of the infamous outlaw Robin Hood, and has inherited her uncle’s fierce courage. But even with her warrior’s blood, Jane cannot resist the broad-shouldered, strong-willed Tré, a man whose love comes with harsh consequences. By surrendering to passion, Jane and Tré put themselves in the middle of a civil war that may cost both their hearts—and their lives. Includes a special message from the editor, as well as excerpts from these Loveswept titles: The Notorious Lady Anne, Along Came Trouble, and Strictly Business.

Download or read book Extra Ordinary written by Ray Wilcox and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-07-07 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In its simplest form, this is an action tale about two destitute girls who end up ruling a country. Its underlying current is far deeper, however, with God directing the path for them and for their country. Its guise may be a children's story, but the author weaves an ever-progressive view of our dependency upon our Heavenly Father. He further explores the social and economic plight of humanity through the lens of politics. The author feels that democracy is doomed. Voters will vote themselves money, or when they do not do their homework on life, they will elect their own butchers. As the story evolves, a higher form of government emerges, that of a benevolent dictator with a Christian foundation. Some may ask, "Why not a Muslim dictator like Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini?" Islam is a religion based on harshness and works. In contrast, the basic tenet of Christianity is love, as in, "For God so loved the world" and "Love thy neighbor as thyselves." The reader will see this theme developed throughout the book and, if it is ever put into practice, in reality as well.

"Paul Faber, Surgeon or The Lady's Confession" is the sequel to The Curate's Awakening and it tells the story of a village doctor and a proven atheist. His friend and village curate, Thomas Wingfold is trying to bring him closer to the Church, but constantly ends up failing in those attempts. Doctor believes that only victories and tragedies of life can bring one to Jesus. However, after one accident, Faber saves life of a beautiful woman and they fall in love, but her secret past comes in between. "There and Back or The Baron's Apprenticeship" is the third and final novel that completes the series. Another story about finding faith in God follows a life-changing journey of Baron Richard from skeptical atheist to a true believer. The main character sets quite an example of manhood for young people. George MacDonald (1824-1905) was a Scottish author, poet, and Christian minister. He was a pioneering figure in the field of fantasy literature and the mentor of fellow writer Lewis Carroll. His writings have been cited as a major literary influence by many notable authors including W. H. Auden, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Walter de la Mare, E. Nesbit and Madeleine L'Engle.
