| 6b02b5c | O'Neill and his army marched south from Ulster to meet the enemy while his ally Red Hugh O'Donnell marched in from the west. But once the Irish armies were in place, O'Neill and O'Donnell began arguing as to which of them should begin the attack. This delay proved fatal as the agreed upon hour of rendezvous with the Spaniards passed, and the window of opportunity for an Irish victory slammed shut. The Battle of Kinsale lasted three months, .. | Robin Maxwell | ||
| 83cade3 | I remember a fierce debate that my father and Gilleduff had one afternoon sittin' over the roast at the long booley table. They were talkin' of King Henry the Eighth's "Surrender and Regrant" program, a topic of unrivaled possibility for disagreement--a rare bounty for two men who'd give their right arms for a good argument. "Most of the other chieftains in Connaught have succumbed already," said Gilleduff, and Henry calls himself 'King of .. | Robin Maxwell | ||
| a45f741 | Tyrone, after wandering with his family through France, the Netherlands, and Germany, finally took up residence in Italy, subsidized by the Pope. Every night, deep in his cups, he would brag that come Hell or high water he would die in Ireland. In 1616 the great rebel O'Neill passed away, a frustrated exile, in Venice. T | Robin Maxwell | ||

| 785d250 | So why submit? I know this as sure as I'm sittin' here across the roast from you. They're tryin' to bury our law and eradicate our language. And once they take your name, they'll take your freedom too." "No one's goin' anywhere with my freedom. And don't worry yourself, Owen. If I do accept myself a fine English title, I promise I won't insist that you call me by it." "That's very kind of you, you feckin' idiot." Gilleduff laughed and punch.. | Robin Maxwell | ||
| 643b854 | TIBBOT NE LONG BURKE, hard-pressed to choose sides in the Irish rebellion, finally made his decision at the battle of Kinsale. On his own volition he mustered a force of three hundred men and marched south. Under Lord Mountjoy, Tibbot led his men so single-mindedly and courageously that he was lauded by the Crown. Having proven his loyalty beyond any doubt, he returned home to a life of leisure with Maeve and his six children. Miles--for ma.. | Robin Maxwell | ||
| 4228d00 | ELIZABETH I, the queen who many believed waited in vain for Essex to beg a reprieve from his death sentence, suffered agonies after his passing. Despite the victory at Kinsale and achieving her goal of defeating the Irish rebels, she never regained her seemingly inexhaustible zest for life. As the end neared, the queen, despite her obvious weakness, refused to be put to bed and instead stood upright in one place for fourteen hours, sucking .. | Robin Maxwell | ||
| 9305914 | The last days of GRACE O'MALLEY'S life are a mystery. There are records of her ships--if not personally captained by her--still patrolling the western Irish coast in mid 1601. She seems to have lived at Rockfleet Castle near the end, and probably died at the age of seventy-three, in 1603--the same year as Elizabeth's death. Some of her stark, brooding castles and ruined abbeys on the shores and islands of Clew Bay today stand testament to h.. | Robin Maxwell | ||
| a99ce7f | During the writing of this book, I found myself questioning why the sixteenth-century history of the Irish-English conflict--"the Mother of All the Irish Rebellions"--has been utterly ignored or forgotten. This episode was by far the largest of Elizabeth's wars and the last significant effort of her reign. It was also the most costly in English lives lost, both common and noble. By some estimates, the rebellion resulted in half the populati.. | Robin Maxwell | ||
| c9195a9 | It is important to understand this period of Irish rebellion, not least because of the light it throws on events in Ireland ever since. England persists in occupying and claiming dominion over Irish soil, and the Catholics of Ulster continue to resist. It may seem that the policies of Henry VIII and his daughter Elizabeth are quaint echoes of the past, but the spirit of courage and defiance that animated rebels such as Hugh O'Neill and Grac.. | Robin Maxwell | ||
| e5194c2 | Bagenal stood gaping as shot whizzed by his head. It was his brother-in-law, the traitor Tyrone. And the man had spotted him as well. Fury rose in Henry Bagenal and he strode out into the field to meet the bloody Irish devil. He and Tyrone would fight hand to hand, to the death, he swore to himself. He would have his revenge for Mabel, beautiful child, lost to this wretched land. THE BALL FROM the musket of the proud Ulster marksman found.. | Robin Maxwell | ||
| 09376ca | Grace rose from her chair and Elizabeth too came to her feet. "I thought your arse would be sore by now," said Grace. "It is a bit." "You have to be careful when you ask the Irish to tell you a story." | Robin Maxwell | ||
| df00fa2 | news arrived several days later of the appalling defeat of Elizabeth's army by the Irish rebels at Blackwater Fort--a defeat now infamously known as the Battle of the Yellow Ford. The Earl of Tyrone--indeed he had taken the title of The O'Neill--was being hailed as the King of Ireland, and he had quickly and with frightening ease begun bringing all of that blighted country under his control. His armies--unbelievable that they could be calle.. | Robin Maxwell | ||

| 0bc6695 | Why are there no queens in the deck?" I asked rather suddenly. "It seems odd." Suzanne Brantome, on my left, and Mimi La Salle, on my right, smiled knowingly, and I felt foolish. But Marguerite did not smile. "You have by now read The Book of the City of Ladies, have you not, Anna?" "I have." "Then you should tell us why the deck has no queens." "Because...," I began, but I hesitated, for my mind was racing far ahead of my voice. I wished s.. | Robin Maxwell | ||

| e94860f | Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. O Lord, truly I am Your servant; I am Your servant, the son of Your maidservant; You have loosed my bonds. I will offer to You the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and will call upon the name of the Lord. | Tim LaHaye | ||
| 6c48276 | God doesn't always give us enough peace and enough strength to save up and prepare for the future, but always, if we are willing to accept it, he gives us strength and peace sufficient to get through one day at a time. | Tim LaHaye | ||
| d645054 | That you care about us and love us. We thank you that you're sovereign and that you hold the world in your hands. We thank you for friends, especially old friends like Hattie. Give us words to say that might help her in whatever decision making she must do, and thank you for the provision of this food. In Jesus' name, Amen. | Tim LaHaye | ||
| 65334e4 | situations we find ourselves, it's difficult to know what to say to you. Sometimes we're unhappy. Sometimes we're distraught. Sometimes we have no idea where to turn. The world seems in such chaos. However, we know we can thank you for who you are. We thank you that you're a good God. That | Tim LaHaye | ||

| 5765b78 | Of the billions and billions of people who have ever lived, One stands head and shoulders above the rest in terms of influence. More schools, colleges, hospitals, and orphanages have been started because of him than because of anyone else. More art was created, more music written, and more humanitarian acts performed due to him and his influence than anyone else ever.

| 5bf3f08 | My Bible doesn't differentiate between homosexuals and heterosexuals," Buck said. "It may call practicing homosexuals sinners, but it also calls heterosexual sex outside of marriage sinful." | Tim LaHaye | ||
| e685113 | God woos us through His Word and His Spirit to walk by faith; Satan woos us through government, commerce, and religious idolatry to walk by sight. | Tim LaHaye | ||

| 841131d | Over half of those events prophesied in the Bible," Campbell said, his voice growing more intense, "were later fulfilled. The other half relate to what we call 'end time events.' But listen carefully...many of those events are being fulfilled in our very lifetime...which is why many of us believe we are living in the 'time of the end' that the disciples asked Jesus about in Matthew 24." | Tim LaHaye | ||
| f1047fe | Now speaking of fulfilled prophecy, God Himself used those many fulfillments to prove His very existence. Eight hundred years before Jesus Christ was born, in Isaiah 46:9-10, God used one of the greatest prophets of the Old Testament to rebuke His chosen nation for worshiping idols. And then, speaking for God, the prophet Isaiah said, 'I am God, declaring the end from the beginning...I have spoken it: I will also bring it to pass. | Tim LaHaye | ||
| e9c63fc | Now you can look at the idea of a unified world system, what the Bible refers to as the future 'Babylon,' like a three-legged stool. Global Government, Global Economy, and Global Religion. In the Bible, each of those are prophesied to be world powers at the end of the age. And by the way, each of them will be destroyed by God according to biblical prophecy. You can read it for yourself in last book in the Bible, Revelation, chapters sevente.. | Tim LaHaye | ||
| 2bc8f98 | Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us. . . . For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.'" Chaim" -- | Tim LaHaye | ||
| 10c042b | Dear God, I know I am a sinner. Forgive me and pardon me for waiting so long. I receive your love and salvation and ask you to live your life through me. I accept you as my Savior and resolve to live for you until you come again.'" Jacov" | Tim LaHaye | ||
| ce33823 | The strongest extrovert of all the blends is the SanChlor--a mix of the two extrovertish temperaments. The happy charisma of the Sanguine makes this person a people-oriented, enthusiastic sales type. But the Choleric nature will provide the resolution and character traits necessary to fashion a person more organized and productive than the pure Sanguine. | Tim LaHaye | ||
| 5171e7f | SanMels are highly emotional people who fluctuate drastically. They can laugh hysterically one minute and burst into tears the next. It is almost impossible for them to hear a sad tale, observe the tragic plight of another person, or listen to sad music without weeping profusely. They genuinely feel the griefs of others. | Tim LaHaye | ||
| 850e595 | The easiest person to like is a SanPhleg. The overpowering and often obnoxious tendencies of a Sanguine are offset by the gracious, easygoing Phlegmatic. SanPhlegs are happy-go-lucky people whose carefree spirit and good humor make them lighthearted entertainers. Helping people is their regular business, along with various forms of sales. The least extrovertish of the Sanguines, they often react to their environment and circumstances rather.. | Tim LaHaye | ||

| b57878c | That would indicate that, one of these days, Israel is going to have a fresh visitation of the Holy Spirit, when a mighty revival sweeps the land. This agrees with many passages that predict a great spiritual awakening when the Jews call upon the Messiah they rejected in AD 30 (see Joel 2:18-32; Zechariah 12:10-13:2; Romans 11:26-27; Revelation 7:1-10). It is important to note that this revival is the only part of this prophecy that has not.. | Tim LaHaye | ||
