Sons To Soldiers Part 3

Nevare Burvelle is the second son of a second son, destined from birth to carry a sword. The wealthy young noble will follow his father—newly made a lord by the King of Gernia—into the cavalry, training in the military arts at the elite King's Cavella Academy in the capital city of Old Thares. Bright and well-educated, an excellent horseman with an advantageous engagement, Nevare's future appears golden. But as his Academy instruction progresses, Nevare begins to realize that the road before him is far from straight. The old aristocracy looks down on him as the son of a "new noble" and, unprepared for the political and social maneuvering of the deeply competitive school and city, the young man finds himself entangled in a web of injustice, discrimination, and foul play. In addition, he is disquieted by his unconventional girl-cousin Epiny—who challenges his heretofore unwavering world view—and by the bizarre dreams that haunt his nights. For twenty years the King's cavalry has pushed across the grasslands, subduing and settling its nomads and claiming the territory in Gernia's name. Now they have driven as far as the Barrier Mountains, home to the Speck people, a quiet, forest-dwelling folk who retain the last vestiges of magic in a world that is rapidly becoming modernized. From childhood Nevare has been taught that the Specks are a primitive people to be pitied for their backward ways—and feared for their indigenous diseases, including the deadly Speck plague, which has ravaged the frontier towns and military outposts. The Dark Evening brings the carnival to Old Thares, and with it an unknown magic, and the first Specks Nevare has ever seen . . .

In 1863, 12-year-old Will, who longs to be a drummer in the Union army, is stuck in his sleepy hometown of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. But when the Union and Confederate armies meet, he and his family are caught up in the fight.

It is my desire in writing this study manual to challenge God's people to become victorious soldiers for God. We have come to a time where Satan knows his time is short, and is trying hard to weaken and demoralize God's people so that they do not reach the end-time destiny that God has planned for them. Satan is doing this by trying to dilute the standards and the laws of God so that God's people will get weary in their fight of faith, and miss their appointed time to rise up and prepare the way for the Lord's soon return. This is one of the end-time strategies of Satan. Daniel 7:25 states, "And he shall speak great words against the Most High, and wear out the saints of the most high, and think to change times and laws." With the diluting of the moral standard in the world today, unfortunately some of the same standards have crept into the church. God has planned to have an end-time victorious army that will be used to demonstrate to a dying world that Jesus is alive, and is the only answer to a lost and dying world. I believe that God has planned that this end-time army will bring in a great harvest which will in turn usher in the Lord's return. It is my prayer that as you do these simple Bible study lessons, you will be empowered to overcome the enemy, which in turn will encourage you to enlist in God's end time army as a solider of his will and purpose. Sons to Soldiers is a thoughtful 'in depth' Bible training manual, that will take the reader along the spiritual journey that leads to a victorious Christian life. Bringing the believer into the truth and experience of becoming a spiritual overcomer, in the trials and temptations facing them in the world today. This training manual will establish your life on the foundations of truth found in God's Word. It will equip you with biblical strategies to overcome the trials and temptations in life. It will teach you how we are to live out God's kingdom in today's society. It will encourage you to step into God's plan for your life as a soldier of purpose. This book will prepare you and move you forward in God's purpose for your life as a victorious Soldier prepared to do your part in His end time plan.

"I feel that I have spent half my career with one or another Pelican Shakespeare in my back pocket. Convenience, however, is the least important aspect of the new Pelican Shakespeare series. Here is an elegant and clear text for either the study or the rehearsal room, notes where you need them and the distinguished scholarship of the general editors, Stephen Orgel and A. R. Braunmuller who understand that these are plays for performance as well as great texts for contemplation." (Patrick Stewart) The distinguished Pelican Shakespeare series, which has sold more than four million copies, is now completely revised and repackaged. Each volume features: * Authoritative, reliable texts * High quality introductions and notes * New, more readable trade trim size * An essay on the theatrical world of Shakespeare and essays on Shakespeare's life and the selection of texts

Spencer Morgan And Dieter Hedrick, one American, one German, are both young and eager to get into action in the war. Dieter, a shining member of the Hitler Youth movement, has actually met the Führer himself and was praised for his hard work. Now he is determined to make it to the front lines, to push back the enemy and defend the honor of the Fatherland. Spencer, just sixteen, must convince his father to sign his induction papers. He is bent on becoming a paratrooper -- the toughest soldiers in the world. He will prove to his family and hometown friends that he is more than the little guy with crooked teeth. He?ll prove to his father that he can amount to something and keep his promises. Everyone will look at him differently when he returns home in his uniform, trousers tucked into his boots in the paratrooper style. Both boys get their wishes when they are tossed into intense conflict during the Battle of the Bulge. And both soon learn that war is about a lot more than proving oneself and one?s bravery. Dean Hughes offers young readers a wrenching look at parallel lives and how innocence must eventually be shed.
