Pages : 306
Book Description
Millions of Blackie Ryan fans will be thrilled with his return in this exciting novel of mystery and suspense. Bestselling novelist Andrew M. Greeley has captured the imagination of the mystery reading public with the improbable Bishop Blackie Ryan, who works for the aristocratic, haughty, sometimes arrogant but often slyly good humored Sean Cardinal Cronin, the Archbishop of Chicago. The Vatican has just assigned auxiliary Bishop Gus Quill to the Archdiocese of Chicago over the violent protests of Archbishop Sean Cronin, and the not so silent protests of Bishop Blackie. Bishop Quill is under the illusion, one might say delusion, that he has been sent from Rome to replace the good Cardinal when in fact Rome was dying to get rid of him because of his incompetence. Immediately on arriving in Chicago, he manages to disappear while riding the L Train and it is up to Blackie to find him. As the Cardinal says, "The Vatican does not like to lose bishops, even auxiliaries." And thus begins the search for the missing bishop who no one really wants to find. Of course, none of this is too much for the intrepid little Bishop Ryan. He faces these problems squarely and, with the kind of deductive mind reminiscent of G.K Chesterton's Father Brown, manages to find solutions to some of the most baffling mysteries he has ever encountered. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

The Tall Man with the Golden hair glided to the Desk and leaned on the edge of it, Arms folded, his eyes never leaving his Guest. "Mr. Smiley, I cannot give you any Details, but it is my Opinion that an Event is about to Happen, that will Demand All of the World's Free Nations to Band Together." Tavis Smiley Blurted Out, "are you talking of War, here, Sir? Is Europe about to be Attacked? What are you saying?" "No, there will not be War. Not just yet. However, such a Military Holocaust is Possible within a Few Months in the Middle East. I am not sure myself, Tavis, of the Actual Event that is about to Transpire. I Only know that because of it, your United States of America will be Forced into a Treaty, but Military. We will be BOUND TOGETHER FOREVER, my Friend." Tavis Smiley moved to get up. " Well, of course, we are Allies with our NATO Friends. We always Stand at their side to..." The Transformation in Jacque Bush was sudden. His Blue eyes Flashed Fire. " Tavis, you do not understand. Please just listen! What I am saying to you is that the Governments of Europe and your own United States will very soon be Forced to Merge into One Vast Western Entity. ONE GOVERNMENT. ONE ARMY. ONE MONEY SYSTEM. ONE LEADER. The two Entities will be known as EUROAMERICA. And when that Happens, Mr. Smiley...And it's Going to Happen no Later than the End of the Year 2016, just months from now...I shall need your Assistance most Assuredly." Tavis Smiley was now more angry than Frightened. " Sir, I do not Discount your Knowledge, nor do I Violate your Hospitality here. But such a Thing as you have Stated cannot Happen. It will not 'Happen'. The United States would Never agree to such an Amalgamation of Nations or." The Fire in Jacque Bush's eyes had Disappeared. They turned to a Hateful, Baleful, Dead Blue. " Believe me, Mr. Smiley. Believe me that it will Happen. I Repeat... by Year's End. EUROAMERICA will be Formed, and it will Last for 1,000 years or More." I truly think the Holy Bible is overrated, yeah people say it is the bestselling book in the world. I respectfully refused to believe that, they just never heard yet about the new author Orion, and The Missing Billions book. Blessed love, Dark Matter at work HOTEP.

Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 522
Book Description
Oak Cliff and the Missing Pieces is the first book written about the area's history in over three decades. It not only captures the beginnings of the early settlement, it takes the reader beyond a century and a half of growth and tracks how the community has evolved. The book is unique in that it captures the history of West Dallas in conjunction with its Oak Cliff neighbor and how the two transformed together over time into what we see today. The collection of historical accounts and hundreds of photos identify individuals and places of prominence finally memorialized in one anthology. The narrative also takes readers through facts and stories that have been ignored or concealed, revealing an authentic depiction of how the community was, at times, abused and neglected. Readers will enjoy this introspective examination of the area south and west of the Trinity and will once and for all put together the missing pieces of the storied land that has long been misunderstood. All proceeds from the sale of Oak Cliff and the Missing Pieces will go to benefit non-profit organizations in Oak Cliff and West Dallas.
The Court Book of Mende and the Secular Lordship of the Bishop
Author: Jan K. BulmanPublisher: University of Toronto Press
ISBN: 1442691972
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 201
Book Description
Mende is a diocese in south-central France where, in the 1260s, scribes of Bishop Odilon de Mercoeur created an extensive court book or register of litigated cases. Their intention was to develop an archive for the use of the chancery as well as to preserve the causae of the episcopal court. These records would later be used by Guillaume Durand the Younger to construct a version of the past which verified episcopal secular lordship and sovereignty in response to mounting intrusion by the king of France. For all of its importance to the history of religion in France, the court book of Mende has received little attention by historians and medieval scholars. In this study, Jan K. Bulman examines the interrelationships between the written records of the ecclesiastical court, the preservation of historical memory, and the defense of episcopal seigneurial rights. Bulman shows how the bishops of Mende followed a singular strategy to defend against loss of autonomy, one that was unique in its reliance on archival records, ancient charters, and narrative hagiography. Richly presented and comprehensively researched, this will be an indispensable work for scholars of religion and the history of medieval France.
