The Verse and Prose of Christian Manhood

One reason men lack vision is because they lack poetry in their lives. Men on longer sing or recite inspirational verse. Boys are no longer required to memorize the great psalms, hymns, and poems of Christian manhood. In answer to this dilemma, Doug Phillips has in Poems for Patriarchs compiled an inspiring collection of vision-communicating poems and prose--some new, some ancient, but all chosen to address the various biblical roles, relationships and seasons in a man's life. Featuring such classics as "King Alfred's War Song" and "Woodman Spare that Tree," Poems for Patriarchs offers manly verse for men who seek a greater vision for their lives.

"To help us learn and understand more about the life of the North American Indians, their myths and legends are a rich source of their oral tradition, comparable to reading European folklore and fairy tales. So superbly trained were North American Indian tribal historians that their acting and the mimicry of sounds portraying human and animal characters were limited only by the imagination of the storytellers...

You will discover here how tribal traditions and cultures have been preserved from generation to generation from their earliest beginnings in Alaska during the last Ice Age.
From these, we can gain greater understanding of the long heritage of Indian tribal life."

-from the Introduction to VOICES OF THE WINDS

Native American Legends

This wonderfully colorful and appealing anthology gathers more than 130 Native American legends, many told to the authors by elder storytellers and tribal historians.

Daniel Silva

Slight wear to top front of dust jacket. No notes or folded pages. Very clean copy!

The target is royal The game is revenge Gabriel Allon returns in the summer's hottest thriller, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Daniel Silva. Stretched topless upon the foredeck, drink in hand, her flawless skin baking in the sun, was the most famous woman in the world. And one deck below, preparing an appetizer of tuna tartare, cucumber, and pineapple, was the man who was going to kill her. . . . She is an iconic member of the British Royal Family, beloved for her beauty and charitable works, resented by her former husband and his mother, the Queen of England. But when a bomb explodes aboard her holiday yacht, British intelligence turns to one man to track down her killer: legendary spy and assassin Gabriel Allon. Gabriel's target is Eamon Quinn, a master bomb maker and mercenary of death who sells his services to the highest bidder. Quinn is an elusive man of the shadows—"a whisper in a half-lit chapel, a loose thread at the hem of a discarded garment"—but fortunately Gabriel does not pursue him alone. At his side is Christopher Keller, a British commando turned professional assassin who knows Quinn's murderous handiwork all too well. The English Spy moves at light speed from the glamorous island of Saint Barthélemy to the mean streets of West Belfast to a cottage atop the cliffs of Cornwall that Gabriel holds dear. And though he does not realize it, he is stalking an old enemy—a cabal of evil that wants nothing more than to see him dead. Gabriel will find it necessary to oblige them, for when a man is out for vengeance, death has its distinct advantages. Filled with breathtaking twists, The English Spy will hold readers spellbound from its riveting opening passages to its heart-stopping conclusion. It is a timely reminder that there are some men in the world who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. And it proves once again why Daniel Silva is regarded as his generation's finest writer of international thrillers.
