The Priory of Sion: Hoax, Conspiracy, or Secret Society? by Conrad Bauer (108 Reviews)    Price verified 5 minutes ago

Download FREE with Kindle Unlimited Hoax, conspiracy, or secret society? That is the range of responses you might hear when raising the idea of the Priory of Sion. Ostensibly a clandestine order designed to disguise the truth about the children of Jesus Christ, the group have been labeled as either an elaborate concoction or the most powerful secret society in the world. Are they real? What are they hiding? Where did they come from? What impact can they have on the world around us? These are the questions this book will hope to answer. At the heart of the story of the Priory of Sion is the somewhat heretical notion that Jesus Christ -- the supposed son of God -- fathered children. Not only that but that his bloodline survives to this day. If true, the idea has a huge impact on the very existence of Christianity, the world's most popular religion. If the Priory -- as is believed -- are guarding the truth about such a matter, they then potentially control some of the most ...

The Three Wives of Adoniram Judson: Ann Hasseltine, Sarah Hall Boardman, Emily Chubbuck aka Fanny Forrester (Missionary Biographies) by Julie McDonald (17 Reviews)    Price verified 28 minutes ago

While researching and writing, Adoniram Judson, America's First Foreign Missionary, I became very frustrated. The book was already longer than my normal 15-20 page, 30 minute read. How could I possible honor his three wives, keep the narrative running smoothly and not confuse the reader with too many characters? I came up with, what I hope, is a great idea! I decided to do an entirely separate book, featuring each one of Adoniram's amazing wives, her early background, and individual story. I really enjoyed being able to give each woman the respect due her. Each one played a major role in reaching the people of Burma, as well as inspiring many young women to follow in her footsteps, to go to unreached people groups around the world.

Explore two of the most profound ancient legends, deeply intriguing mysteries that have fascinated and inspired millions since the dawn of civilization. Ancient history is the hazy vestiges of memory; far more of the secrets underlying the mysteries of the past have been lost than preserved.

Yet legends inevitably arose in which fragments of those truths were preserved. Cradling the most isolated area of Earth's landmass, for thousands of years the inner region of the Great Himalayan Range has inspired countless legends of a hidden sanctuary of great masters possessed of all-encompassing knowledge. Although arising from sources greatly separated both geographically and chronologically, the legends are remarkably consistent. The 4000 year-old scriptures of the pre-Tibetan Zhang Zhung culture are thought ...
