Third, Rough Scales can only be obtained here; once you leave, there will be no further opportunities to obtain them. (Rough Scales are Dropped by Gurangatch, and there is also a treasure spot in Fodina Caestino that has them.) To those who have tasted what is forbidden only to find it meaningless. May Solomon's wisdom and the love he craved show you a better way. ~Jill Eileen Smith The Heart of a King is a compilation of short stories about four of the wives of King Solomon. I was apprehensive from the start as this book seemed to fit into my preconceived notions of what I would be reading.Historical fiction is one of my favorite genres to read. I would classify this book as Biblical fiction. It has been a long time since I have read Biblical fiction, but when I saw this story included the Queen of Sheba, I was intrigued. The Queen of Sheba has always fascinated me especially since she has such a short interlude and I could not wait to reach her story. This novel was a home run for me. It brought the bible to life, and made my longing to dive in deeper that much greater. I look forward to reading more of Smith's novels, and reading them with my bible nearby so I can reference as I'm reading. I can certainly see after reading this why so many people love her books!

I know already, for your forwardness you have deserved rewards and crowns; and We do assure you in the word of a prince, they shall be duly paid you. In the mean time, my lieutenant general shall be in my stead, than whom never prince commanded a more noble or worthy subject; not doubting but by your obedience to my general, by your concord in the camp, and your valour in the field, we shall shortly have a famous victory over those enemies of my God, of my kingdom, and of my people.” I really enjoyed reading this new biblical fiction book featuring King Solomon and some of his wives. The story focused on 4 main women as the chapters followed from one story to the next. Although I cannot say I agree with all of the author’s creative licenses, I believe she did a masterful job of weaving a fascinating story of “what might have been” in the life of the wisest man who ever lived. Mattingly, Garrett (1959). The Armada. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. p.349. LCCN 59008861. Speech [ edit ]You will never be all that he needs, dear girl. Only God can give us all that we need. Only He can feed the hungriest places in our soul." Solomon's relationship with Adonai seems weak. Namaah and Abishag mention the strength of his faith, but it is not apparent to the reader. Yes, we are give the prayer when God offers Solomon anything and grants him wisdom and descriptions of his obsession with the building of the temple. The temple obsession is not a convincing argument for his love of Adonai, just his love of his father and fulfilling a duty.

In the 2013 Time magazine profile that grew into her book about Prince Charles, Catherine Mayer assured readers, “Much of what you think you know about the prince is wrong.” Perhaps. Her greatly expanded portrait suggests that a whole lot more of what we think – or fear – we know about our future king is entirely correct, not invariably in a bad way. The Speech to the Troops at Tilbury was delivered on 9 August Old Style (19 August New Style) 1588 by Queen Elizabeth I of England to the land forces earlier assembled at Tilbury in Essex in preparation for repelling the expected invasion by the Spanish Armada.But what marks both versions of the speech out is Elizabeth’s emphasis on her sex. In Leigh’s account of the speech, Elizabeth tells her English troops that the Spanish enemy may believe her to be an ineffectual ruler because she is a woman, rather than being a ‘strong’ man who can lead his troops into battle. But she responds to this hypothetical criticism by reminding her audience that the Spanish enemy are but men, who are mortal (and can therefore be killed).
