Generally acknowledged to be Professor Bury's masterpiece, this panoramic and painstakingly accurate reconstruction of the Western and Byzantine Roman empire covers the period from 395 A.D., the death of Theodosius I, to 565 A.D., the death of Justinian. Quoting contemporary documents in full or in great extent, the author describes and analyzes the forces and cross-currents that controlled Rome, Constantinople, Antioch, the Persian and Teutonic regions; the rise of Byzantine power, territorial expansion, conflict of church and state, legislative and diplomatic changes; and scores of similar topics.Detailed coverage of such important figures as Belisarius, Justinian, Procopius, Alaric, Attila, and many others is given as well as a complete contemporary account of a visit to Attila's court. The Vandal empire, the Ostrogoths, Visigoths, Lombards, etc., are given extensive treatment. Professor Bury investigates the literary, cultural, and religious history of the period in great detail and relates it to the organization and development of the Eastern and Western empires and the diffusion of Byzantine culture into Italy.
"An important and valuable contribution to our knowledge of a period the history of which has been too much neglected." -- Classical Review.

Informational but not what I expected.
Format: Paperback
The facts as they relate to the bible and some other scripts are good, but it would have been better if they were backed up with scientific facts and Egyptian findings. This would have given a broader and more open-minded big picture. I was disappointed overall.

My brain needed this book.
Format: Paperback
What a refreshing cup of water to a thirsty mind! I'm so glad I stumbled across this book and this author, Brian Godawa. I was beginning to think I was the only person on earth who had questions about traditional Christianity versus ancient cultures as well as other mysteries on our earth, and this book has made some links and clarifications on some fascinating subjects that aren't dealt with much in the modern church. It didn't matter that this book is a compilation of appendices based on his research for one of his fiction series. It read, easily, as a non-fiction book and I appreciated how the author used facts based off of biblical and other ancient documents in a rather logical way, with limited conjecture and emotion. I tried absorbing the information in this book as quickly as possible, and already have admired and desired the author's other utterly fascinating book offers. Thank you, Mr. Godawa, for your seeming unrelentless pursuit of truth! I stand with you.

I own the Canadian copy:
Format: Kindle
This is a captivating and thought-provoking book that dares to explore the uncharted spiritual terrain of the afterlife. Authored with a profound sense of reverence, this book serves as a unique bridge between the iconic voice of John Lennon and the modern reader, yearning for deeper insights into love, life, and the essence of humanity. The narrative is brilliantly crafted, seamlessly blending the ethereal with the tangible. The idea of John Lennon sharing his reflections from Heaven is not just compelling but also deeply moving. The authors have managed to channel Lennon’s timeless philosophy of love, peace, and unity in a way that feels authentic and true to his spirit.
What makes this book truly stand out is its ability to inspire readers to reevaluate their own lives. Lennon’s "heavenly" wisdom challenges us to let go of fear, embrace forgiveness, and lead lives that resonate with harmony and love. It’s a powerful reminder of Lennon’s enduring message and the impact it continues to have on our world. For fans of John Lennon and the Beatles, as well as those curious about the mysteries of life beyond, this book is a treasure trove. It’s not just a read; it’s an experience—a spiritual odyssey that lingers long after the final page is turned.
Whether you're a die-hard Lennon enthusiast or someone simply seeking inspiration, All You Need is Love offers a glimpse into the eternal legacy of one of the greatest icons of our time.

Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts - A Useful and Effective Resource for Pre-Marriage Counseling
I used this curriculum kit and video series in pre-marriage counseling. I found it helped me to have an effective structure and a useful tool to use as a major part of my counseling, and believe it helped stimulate thought and discussion of help to the couple as they made this investment in the success of their upcoming marriage. I can recommend this curriculum kit highly whenever a couple is entering into pre-marriage counseling as an investment in their future.
