A revisionist new biography reintroducing readers to one of the most subversive figures in English history—the man who sought to reform a nation, dared to defy his king, and laid down his life to defend his sacred honor NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY KANSAS CITY STAR AND BLOOMBERG Becket’s life story has been often told but never so incisively reexamined and vividly rendered as it is in John Guy’s hands. The son of middle-class Norman parents, Becket rose against all odds to become the second most powerful man in England. As King Henry II’s chancellor, Becket charmed potentates and popes, tamed overmighty barons, and even personally led knights into battle. After his royal patron elevated him to archbishop of Canterbury in 1162, however, Becket clashed with the King. Forced to choose between fealty to the crown and the values of his faith, he repeatedly challenged Henry’s authority to bring the church to heel. Drawing on the full panoply of medieval sources, Guy sheds new light on the relationship between the two men, separates truth from centuries of mythmaking, and casts doubt on the long-held assumption that the headstrong rivals were once close friends. He also provides the fullest accounting yet for Becket’s seemingly radical transformation from worldly bureaucrat to devout man of God. Here is a Becket seldom glimpsed in any previous biography, a man of many facets and faces: the skilled warrior as comfortable unhorsing an opponent in single combat as he was negotiating terms of surrender; the canny diplomat “with the appetite of a wolf” who unexpectedly became the spiritual paragon of the English church; and the ascetic rebel who waged a high-stakes contest of wills with one of the most volcanic monarchs of the Middle Ages. Driven into exile, derided by his enemies as an ungrateful upstart, Becket returned to Canterbury in the unlikeliest guise of all: as an avenging angel of God, wielding his power of excommunication like a sword. It is this last apparition, the one for which history remembers him best, that will lead to his martyrdom at the hands of the king’s minions—a grisly episode that Guy recounts in chilling and dramatic detail. An uncommonly intimate portrait of one of the medieval world’s most magnetic figures, Thomas Becket breathes new life into its subject—cementing for all time his place as an enduring icon of resistance to the abuse of power.

The first major biography of America’s twenty-eighth president in nearly two decades, from one of America’s foremost Woodrow Wilson scholars. A Democrat who reclaimed the White House after sixteen years of Republican administrations, Wilson was a transformative president—he helped create the regulatory bodies and legislation that prefigured FDR’s New Deal and would prove central to governance through the early twenty-first century, including the Federal Reserve system and the Clayton Antitrust Act; he guided the nation through World War I; and, although his advocacy in favor of joining the League of Nations proved unsuccessful, he nonetheless established a new way of thinking about international relations that would carry America into the United Nations era. Yet Wilson also steadfastly resisted progress for civil rights, while his attorney general launched an aggressive attack on civil liberties. Even as he reminds us of the foundational scope of Wilson’s domestic policy achievements, John Milton Cooper, Jr., reshapes our understanding of the man himself: his Wilson is warm and gracious—not at all the dour puritan of popular imagination. As the president of Princeton, his encounters with the often rancorous battles of academe prepared him for state and national politics. Just two years after he was elected governor of New Jersey, Wilson, now a leader in the progressive movement, won the Democratic presidential nomination and went on to defeat Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft in one of the twentieth century’s most memorable presidential elections. Ever the professor, Wilson relied on the strength of his intellectual convictions and the power of reason to win over the American people. John Milton Cooper, Jr., gives us a vigorous, lasting record of Wilson’s life and achievements. This is a long overdue, revelatory portrait of one of our most important presidents—particularly resonant now, as another president seeks to change the way government relates to the people and regulates the economy.

The Way of the Warrior Saint promotes self-sacrifice—or crucifixional living—as the cure for the modern fallacy of taking the easy route in life. Modeled on Jesus’ victory over death through His voluntary suffering on the cross, it spotlights heroes who through self-sacrifice became exceptional and reputable individuals. You don’t have to believe the tenets of the Christian faith to see that the mechanism of self-sacrifice is the way to find greatness within you. Even a cursory examination reveals that the Christ story serves as the model for all our great stories. The likes of Luke Skywalker, Jon Snow, Catniss, Tony Stark, Elsa, Harry Potter, Batman, Wonder Woman, Pinocchio, Horus and Perseus. All of our heroes found their victory through the sacrifice of self. But the crucifixional model isn’t just for the movies. We find the same message in sports, the kitchen, marriage and everywhere else we look. If you want to live a life based on wisdom in the service of others, you’ll find a refreshing Christian perspective that drives results in this book. “Personal achievement advice has been with us since time immemorial, but in The Way of the Warrior Saint, an American parish priest from Arizona, Fr. Chris Salamy, takes it to another level by overlaying a powerfully Christian teaching on top of the traditional wisdom of the ages. His unique message for exceptional living, through what he terms a crucifixional life, is an important concept and a must read, especially for all dads and younger men.” —Dean G. Popps, former Assistant Secretary of the United States Army “The Way of the Warrior Saint is a helpful read for anyone who is trying to put faith into action. It is filled with real life challenges, engaging stories, solid principles, and practical tips to help the reader navigate life’s uncertainties with clear direction. Father Chris distills his years of ministry experience into memorable and applicable ‘takeaways’ that can help each one of us and all of us live a life that honors God and serves others.” —Tim Tassopoulos, President and COO, Chick-fil-A, Inc. “The Way of the Warrior Saint is a work of art. Fr. Chris identifies the missing link in our lives that allows us to conquer anything and live successfully. The concept of living a crucifixional life to overcome and win is genius and a tool that everyone should embody. This book is a must read for anyone that has faced challenges and wants to live more powerfully.” —Dr. Eric J. Scroggins, author of Vision Blockers, life & business coach, CEO of EricScroggins.com “In The Way of the Warrior Saint, Fr. Chris draws from his personal experiences to paint a vivid and compelling case for taking up the ‘crucifixional’ way of life. Not only does Fr. Chris inspire his reader but he also gently guides them towards a fuller Christian life. I highly recommend this often humorous and bare-knuckled book by one of the Church’s preeminent pastors it will engage every reader who wants to live courageously for Christ.” —Father Evan Armatas, Host of Orthodoxy Live on Ancient Faith Radio and author of Toolkit for Spiritual Growth: A Practical Guide to Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving

This book uncovers and systematically integrates ancient religious mythologies; archaeological mysteries; and End-time prophecies. It presents a very unorthodox view of the basic struggles (mind-battles) that non-professional Christians have regarding their personal Spiritual Wars. It covers a variety of topics to include our personal Wars on: racism, sex, drugs, money, plagues (COVID), hell, suicide and eternal judgment. It introduces some of the most unexpectedly rational and exotically strange hidden mysteries of the Holy Scriptures that critically challenge the traditional views of organized christianity (that are not based on the Bible). It also proposes a biblical theory for the origin of Racism. Jesus said, "The truth will set you Free," (Jn. 8:32). But pursuing freedom, will require the reader to have an open mind to new possibilities, think outside the box, and put aside their religious bigotry. This book is dedicated to the brave Christian warriors of Ethiopia that continue to "fight the good fight," (1 Tim. 6:12). The Ethiopian empire is the only region of Africa to remain defiantly Christian and survive the expansion of Islam as a Christian state. Throughout history, they have remained faithful to Christ, even while facing opposition and religious, racial, and political persecution from Roman Catholicism and Islam. New archaeological evidence has revealed that the African nation of Ethiopia was one of the first Christian Nations on planet earth. We now have scientific evidence, that all humans descended from a single migration from Africa in Ethiopia. So, we know that God's chosen people the Israelites, and Jesus and his Apostles were also descendants from Africa and therefore were a colored people. In light of these facts, this book is also dedicated to Christian Warriors such as Martin Luther King, Jr. and other black, indigenous and people of color in the worldwide Black Church throughout history that have suffered persecution and death for their faith in Christ. We know that racial misinterpretations of the "Curse of Ham" were used throughout history even by religions of Christianity to justify and prolong the black inferiority myth and the enslavement of black people. The Bible informs us that it was Satan's plan from the beginning to curse and destroy God's chosen "colored" people (Gen. 3:15). The New Testament Bible tells us that Philip baptized an Ethiopian eunuch near Jerusalem in the first century Early Church (Acts 13:1, 8:38). Bible scholars inform us that this was the beginning of Jesus' prophecy to his disciples to be his witnesses "... to the ends of the earth," (Acts 1:8).My purpose in writing this book is to proclaim that Jesus came to prepare his disciples and his future church for a complete spiritual revolution, because religious, racial, and political persecution would be coming upon them from their own family members who reject "The Way" (Acts 24:22). The goal is to empower readers to further mine the riches of God's Word to prepare God's warriors for the revolution. The Apostles John, Peter, and even Moses proclaimed that God: "has made us to be a Kingdom and Priests to serve his God and Father," (Rev. 1:6, 5:10; 1 Pet. 2:9; Ex. 19: 5,6). So, between now and the Second Coming, Jesus commands his Royal Priesthood Army to lead this anti-religious revolution by continuing the Great Commission. I pray that its uncensored truth will set those in the Royal Priesthood free from the bondage of repressive religious guilt, persecution, and the moral injuries that perpetuate the symptoms of religious addiction. It is also my goal to assist with providing guidance for discipleship and healing to God's people to unite the Army of the Lord to fulfill the Great Commission to: " ... Go and make disciples of all nations, ..." (Mt. 28:19).
