The great religious orders of Christianity - the Benedictines, the Dominicans, the Franciscans and the Jesuits - are well known for their monasteries, their learning and their missions around the world. But in the Middle Ages, to some extent surviving to this day, there was another kind of religious order, one whose members' profession was to bear arms in defence of Christendom. From humble beginnings in the early 12th century, caring for the sick in the Holy Land and protecting pilgrims, the military religious orders spread out across Europe. Not only did they fight for the holy places, they helped push back Islam in Spain and what is now Portugal, and spread Christianity to the lands across the Baltic, then still pagan. The Knights of St John, the Knights Templar, the Knights of Santiago and of Calatrava, the Teutonic Knights and others played a fearsome, sometimes brutal and often neglected role in the history of Christianity. The wars, which they fought in the name of Christ, helped shape the world as we know it.

Acclaimed author James Reston, Jr.'s Warriors of God is the rich and engaging account of the Third Crusade (1187-1192), a conflict that would shape world history for centuries and which can still be felt in the Middle East and throughout the world today. James Reston, Jr. offers a gripping narrative of the epic battle that left Jerusalem in Muslim hands until the twentieth century, bringing an objective perspective to the gallantry, greed, and religious fervor that fueled the bloody clash between Christians and Muslims. As he recounts this rousing story, Reston brings to life the two legendary figures who led their armies against each other. He offers compelling portraits of Saladin, the wise and highly cultured leader who created a united empire, and Richard the Lionheart, the romantic personification of chivalry who emerges here in his full complexity and contradictions. From its riveting scenes of blood-soaked battles to its pageant of fascinating, larger-than-life characters, Warriors of God is essential history, history that helps us understand today's world.

Loving a prodigal is a long and desperate journey, filled with fear, worry, anger, self- recrimination. You wait for the phone call--will it be from jail or the hospital? You plead with your loved one. You search for help. You feel the shame. You cry out to God, "How long, Lord?" Author Judy Douglass knows these lovers of prodigals well. She is one herself and has created a large and growing community with others. When You Love a Prodigal is a collection of 90 essays--90 days of perspective on what God offers to you as you love your prodigal. At the end of each brief essay, response questions will help you process how God intends to use the wilderness journey to mold your spiritual life. You can work through it day by day, or you can read it straight through. Judy has traveled this road with her own prodigal--reading, learning, praying, and seeking God. Over and over he continued to give her wisdom, he sustained her, he covered her with grace, and he filled her with hope. May you, too, be strengthened and filled with hope as together you discover how God will take you through your own valley.

This book resolves to address several situations that our American soldiers face in their goal of normalcy in their postdeployment futures. In seeking to assist our veterans in reconnecting with their culture, this book begins with the principle that the first reconnection must contain a spiritual or faith component. This book will address many of the issues the returning veterans face. The designed purpose is to establish a growing and deepening relationship with God, family, and fellow believers. The end goal will be to bring a wholeness of life to each veteran—spiritually, socially, and physically—a life that our Lord desires for all (John 10:10).

When we receive Christ as Savior, we enter combat against Satan and his wicked troops. This fierce, cosmic war began in the Garden of Eden and will continue until Jesus returns to destroy forever the evil that runs rampant upon the Earth. It's impossible for God's warriors to watch others engage in spiritual combat from a position of security. Satan attacks us around the clock, and an ambush could come at any time. In addition, God wants us to take the offensive, encouraging our fellow soldiers and recruiting new members into His forces. Forward into Battle examines the similarities between serving in the armed forces and serving the Lord. Written by a 33-year military veteran, the book reviews the radical transformation God's warriors experience when they begin serving in His forces, the mission God has given us and the weapons He's provided, intelligence on our evil enemy, operations on the spiritual battlefield, a Biblical concept of leadership, and the heavenly rewards we'll receive when our service on Earth ends. Each chapter includes questions for group or individual study as well as a personal assessment to enable readers to plan how to apply the reading's lessons in their service in God's army.
