In the middle years of the ninth century, the fierce Danes stormed onto British soil, hungry for spoils and conquest. Kingdom after kingdom fell to the ruthless invaders until but one realm remained. And suddenly the fate of all England—and the course of history—depended upon one man, one king. New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell’s The Last Kingdom is a rousing epic adventure of courage, treachery, duty, devotion, majesty, love, and battle as seen through the eyes of a young warrior who straddled two worlds. “Historical novels stand or fall on detail, and Mr. Cornwell writes as if he has been to ninth-century Wessex and back.”—WALL STREET JOURNAL

An English boy is captured and raised by Vikings but his fate is tied to that of Alfred, the king of Wessex, the only English kingdom to survive the Danish assault.

In The Last Things Donald G. Bloesch takes up difficult and sometimes controversial themes such as the coming of the kingdom of God, the return of Jesus Christ, the life hereafter, the millennial hope, the final judgment, hell, heaven, purgatory and paradise. Wrestling with biblical texts that often take metaphorical form, Bloesch avoids rationalistic reductionism as well as timid agnosticism. While he acknowledges mystery and even paradox, Bloesch finds biblical revelation much more than sufficient to illuminate the central truths of a Christian hope articulated throughout the history of the church. The Last Things is not just a review of past Christian eschatology but a fresh articulation of the grace and glory of God yet to be consummated. The triumph of the grace of Jesus Christ and the dawning of hope beckon us to reach out in the power of the Spirit to receive that blessed future and the promise to renew the life of the church universal today.

"Heaven and earth will pass away but my words will by no means pass away." To determine God's Word is omnipotent and true, one only has to examine the God-given prophecies of historical times which are now today's reality. God's prophetic words for the future reveal many events that will significantly affect mankind. This book is the culmination of years of studying and cross-referencing God's words as they pertain to the end-times. Designed to help the reader follow from Old Testament to New Testament, the map God has laid out for the earth's future, discussions include: 1.Christ's removal of the Church prior to the tribulation period 2.The seven-year plus seventy-five-day tribulation period ruled by Satan, the antichrist and the false prophet, culminating in the battle at Armageddon 3.God's responding wrath and judgements 4.God's promised Millennial kingdom 5.The great white throne judgement. Lorence Falkenberg is a retired geological engineer who enjoyed fifty-plus years in the oil and gas industry. Geology demands scrutinizing data and information down to the smallest of details, using an engineer's capacity for analysis. For Lorence, this attention to the facts and details carried over in his search for the truth about prophesied end-times. In his younger Christian life he readily accepted what many authors had written and what speakers expressed on the subject. It was not until he consecrated his personal search of God's own words that he realized there was only one omniscient source that could provide truth and reality, and that God's words needed to be rightly divided as according to II Timothy. He has been teaching end-times for more than a decade and was persuaded to write this book as a culmination of his years of study and teaching on these events.

THE PALE HORSEMAN the compelling sequel to the bestselling THE LAST KINGDOM. Uhtred, Northumbrian born, raised a Viking and now married to a Saxon, is already a formidable figure and warrior. But at twenty he is still arrogant, pagan and headstrong, so not a comfortable ally for the thoughtful, pious Alfred. But these two, with Alfred's family and a few of Uhtred's companions, are apparently all that remains of the Wessex leadership after a disastrous truce. It is the lowest time for the Saxons. Defeated comprehensively by the Vikings who now occupy most of England, Alfred and his surviving followers retreat to the trackless marshlands of Somerset. There, forced to move restlessly to escape betrayal or detection, using the marsh mists for cover, they travel by small boats from one island to another, hoping that they can regroup and find some more strength and support. They seek refuge in Athelney, a tidal swamp to which Alfred's kingdom has shrunk. Uhtred finds himself torn between his Danish foster brother and the winning Vikings, and his growing respect for the stubborn leadership of Alfred. and help them to take on the Vikings once more. THE PALE HORSEMAN is a splendid story of divided loyalties and desperate heroism, with a wonderful range of characters from Vikings to British kings in their Cornish fortresses, from political but passionate priests to enduring fishermen and farmers desperately striving to survive as the battle sweeps over them. Uhtred and Alfred, Vikings and Saxons, are a winning combination for Bernard Cornwell.
