Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Titus’s recall from banishment, his jubilation is short-lived. First, the Lombard King threatens him. Second, a man he had freed from slavery attempts to kill him. He must find a new life beyond the reach of King, Pope and Emperor — the unknown wilds of Scotland. There, he and Adria coax the earth to provide. And they are content, man and wife. But the skeletal hand that comes for all mortal flesh touches Adria. Will Titus — educated, philosophical Titus, his earthly work at an end — hurl himself from the cliffs to follow her? To Grasp the Miraculous, AD 593 – 607 is a dramatic exultation of the wedded life. Gripping. Emotive. It’s a short read, but a memorable one. Read it today. ~~ This novella completes the Tribonian Trilogy. Each of the books is self-contained without a cliff-hanger at the end. The three books in the Trilogy are listed below. They may be read separately in any order, each to powerful effect. But there is a forward thrust throughout the Trilogy. When I wrote the first words of To Forestall (“‘Putrid!’ Titus said, sniffing the air and curling his lips in revulsion.”), the final scenes of To Grasp (on the cliffs of Scotland) had already been revealed. To Forestall the Darkness: A Novel of Ancient Rome, AD 589 (pub 2013) To Abandon Rome, AD 593 (pub 2017) To Grasp the Miraculous, AD 593 - 607 A Novella of the Dark Ages (pub 2020) Author's remark: All my work would be classified as "literary fiction". This does not mean it is high-brow, dry or difficult to understand. It's not. It's dramatic, emotion-filled and grips the heart. What the classification as "literary" means is it is not a genre work and does not follow a familiar storyline. (The author's website contains a further explanation of the term "literary fiction.")

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sixth Century Italy was a desolate land. The Romans cowered under the brutality of their Lombard overlords until one of them, Titus, dares to rally them. After some success he rashly frees his 400 slaves. That act--He’s subverting the foundations of our State!--compels him, bloodied, into a naked walk into banishment. But what a triumph it is!
Download or read book Military History of Late Rome 565 602 written by Ilkka Syvänne and published by Pen and Sword Military. This book was released on 2022-09-21 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fresh analysis of the Roman Empire in the aftermath of the reconquests of Justinian I. It is often claimed that Justinian overstretched the Roman resources, but the analysis in Military History of Late Rome 565-602 proves that view wrong. It demonstrates that the initial troubles were largely the result of the mistakes of Justin II, and that his successors, Tiberius II and Maurice, not only restored its fortunes but were, at the time of Maurice’s death, actually poised to complete the reconquests of Justinian. It was thanks to the reforms of Maurice, which were codified in the military treatise the Strategikon, that the Roman army had achieved a position of relative superiority over all of its enemies—so that by 602 the Romans had decisively defeated the Persians, Slavs, and Avars. These gains, however, were lost when Maurice was murdered in a military mutiny that brought Phocas to power. This volume explains why the Roman army overthrew one of the greatest Roman emperors who ever lived. This was an era of epic battles, so the author also pays particular attention to the period tactics and analyzes all the period battles in great detail. These include such battles as Melitene, Constantia, Sirmium, Nymphius River, Solanchon, Lake Urmiah, Plain of Canzak, Iatrus, and the epic battles of Priscus and Comentiolus in the Balkans. Praise for Military History of Late Rome 425–457 “An outstanding work . . . [the series] gives us a very good picture of the long process that has come to be known as the ‘Fall of Rome.’ This is an invaluable read for anyone with an interest in Late Antiquity.” —The NYMAS Review

Download or read book Longing for Spring written by Elaine A Heath and published by Lutterworth Press. This book was released on 2011-05-26 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Delving into the widespread, contemporary longing for a more serious and communal experience of Christianity, this book provides important theoretical underpinnings and casts a vision for a new monasticism within the Wesleyan tradition. Elaine Heathand Scott Kisker call for the planting of neo-monastic churches which embody the Wesleyan vision of holiness in postmodern contexts. This book also points toward some vital shifts that are necessary in theological education in order to equip pastorsto lead such communities. Longing for Spring helps Wesleyans of all stripes understand the theory and praxis necessary for planting neo-monastic communities as a new model of the church that is particularly important in the postmodern context. The authors write in an engaging, conversational style that is conversant with postmodern culture, yet thoroughly informed by critical research. Heath and Kisker boldly challenge the imagination of the church, both within and beyond Wesleyan traditions, to consider the possibility of revitalizing the church through the new monasticism.
