Having lost one suspect - with horrific consequences - Miles becomes too involved with another, a young Irish woman. His marriage seems ready to crumble to dust. So does his home. But Miles is given one last chance for redemption - a trip to Belfast, which quickly becomes a flight of terror, murder and shocking discoveries.

the watchman's bagpipes: Go Set a Watchman! Thomas Greaves, 2023-02-09 All of us have a God-given calling. Our faith is not a passive one. We are purposed for action of great and mighty deeds. We are called to advance against an unseen enemy, take the high ground, and take back lost territory in the spiritual realm. Are you a prayer warrior? A watchman standing in the night hours when it is not easy to stand in this present darkness that seems too willing to overtake us if we fall asleep spiritually. Are you a prayer warrior? A watchman or watchwoman standing on the frontlines when it is not easy and the dawning of GodaEUR(tm)s coming seems far away. Learn how to take on these spiritual dark forces head-on. Ever wanted to be in GodaEUR(tm)s special forces for the breaking of spiritual strongholds? You must be an open instrument for GodaEUR(tm)s purposes to flow through you. If you are clogged with the worldly things of this life, you will not be able to send a clear message to those who need to hear the Good News. Learn the ways of the ancient watchmen that are just as vital in this modern age. Learn how God has used the shofar horn from Mount Sinai to the far reaches of this modern age, by taking that trumpet sound outside the walls of your congregations. We all need to protect ourselves by putting on the full armor of God in order to be ready for the greatest of special operation missionsaEURwhen we are all suddenly taken off the battlefield at the trumpet call of GodaEUR(tm)s shofar horn at the rapture of believers. The stories are all true, and now I see that when I was in my motheraEUR(tm)s womb, God said, aEURoeGo, set a watchman!aEUR |

the watchman's bagpipes: The Waning of the Middle Ages J. Huizinga, 2016-10-21 “To the world when it was half a thousand years younger,” Huizinga begins, “the outline of all things seemed more clearly marked than to us.” Life seemed to consist in extremes—a fierce religious asceticism and an unrestrained licentiousness, ferocious judicial punishments and great popular waves of pity and mercy, the most horrible crimes and the most extravagant acts of saintliness—and everywhere a sea of tears, for men have never wept so unrestrainedly as in those centuries. First published in 1924, this brilliant portrait of the life, thought, and art in France and the Netherlands in the 14th and 15th centuries is our most trenchant study of that crucial moment in history when the Middle Ages gave way to the great energy of the Renaissance. From an analysis of the dominating ideas of the times—those that held the medieval world together, supported its religion and informed its art and literature—emerges the style of a whole culture at the extreme limit of its development. |

the watchman's bagpipes: Medieval Sex Lives Elizabeth Eva Leach, 2023-12-15 Medieval Sex Lives examines courtly song as a complex cultural product and social force in the early fourteenth century, exploring how it illuminates the relationship between artistic production and the everyday lives of the elites for whom this music and poetry was composed and performed. In a focused analysis of the Oxford Bodelian Library's Douce 308 manuscript—a fourteenth-century compilation that includes over five hundred Old French lyrics composed over two centuries alongside a narrative account of elaborate courtly festivities centered on a week-long tournament—Elizabeth Eva Leach explores two distinct but related lines of inquiry: first, why the lyric tradition of courtly love had such a long and successful history in Western European culture; and, second, why the songs in the Bodleian manuscript would have been so important to the book's compilers, owners, and readers. The manuscript's lack of musical notation and authorial attributions make it unusual among Old French songbooks; its arrangement of the lyrics by genre invites inquiry into the relationship between this long musical tradition and the emotional and sexual lives of its readers. Combining an original account of the manuscript's contents and their likely social milieu with in-depth musical and poetic analyses, Leach proposes that lyrics, whether read or heard aloud, provided a fertile means of propagating and enabling various sexual scripts in the Middle Ages. Drawing on musicology, literary history, and the sociology and psychology of sexuality, Medieval Sex Lives presents a provocative hypothesis about the power of courtly songs to model, inspire, and support sexual behaviors and fantasies. |

This collection captures a variety of narratives, encompassing myths, legends, and moral tales, characterized by vibrant descriptions and a poetic cadence that invites readers into a world where the supernatural intertwines with the mundane.

the watchman's bagpipes: Korean Tales: Being a Collection of Stories Translated from the Korean Folk Lore Horace Newton Allen, 1889-01-01 As “Paris is France,” so Seoul may be said to be Korea, for it is the centre from which nearly every thing for the country either originates or is disseminated. Officers ruling over country districts usually have their “house in town,” and expect to spend a portion, at least, of their time within the walls of the capital. While some of the provincial capitals are said to contain more people and to be more celebrated for certain reasons, Seoul is the home of the King and the Mecca of his faithful subjects. A description of this city may, therefore, answer for all. The capital is a city of some 300,000 inhabitants, half of whom, perhaps, live in the extensive suburbs without the walls. It lies in a basin of granite sand, surrounded by high mountains and their projecting ridges, over which climbs the high, thick, encircling wall of masonry; pierced at convenient points by massive, pagoda-roofed gates, amply strong enough for defense against the weapons of war in use at the time of building this great relic of seclusion. The city is traversed by broad avenues from which runs a perfect labyrinth of narrow streets. Originally none of these streets were less than twenty feet wide, and some of the avenues leading up to the imposing gates of the palaces are even now a good two hundred feet in width. But the streets have all been encroached upon by the little temporary thatched booths of the petty retail dealers, so that, with the exception of the approaches to the palaces, the line is broken, the streets made tortuous, and only here and there a broad open spot indicates the original width of the thoroughfare. Originally every street was furnished with itd sewer—open in the smaller streets, while the avenues were drained by great covered sewers of stonework. Occasionally the proprietor of one of the little temporary booths would put a foundation under his structure, bridging over the sewer, until now the streets have in many cases become mere crooked alleys, and but for the bountiful rains, the excellent natural drainage, and the character of the soil, the mortality would be very great instead of being less than in ordinary American cities. No attempt is made towards street decoration, as that would attract the attention of thieves. The magnificent grounds of a nobleman, with their artificial lakes, flower gardens, water-worn pillars of ancient rock and quaintly twisted trees, may be enclosed by a row of tumble-down, smoke-begrimed servant-quarters that would never indicate the beauty to be found hidden within its forbidding exterior. |

the watchman's bagpipes: A Book of Miracles Beverly Young Jones, 2023-06-13 About the Book A Book of Miracles shares an account of the life of Beverly Young Jones. It goes from lighthearted to completely riveting as Jones shares the many experiences God has carried her through. As she looks back over many perilous times and many dangerous situations, only God alone miraculously brought Jones through them. As a young Christian, Jones sometimes doubted the existence of God, in that she felt so alone in the most terrible situations, but as she grew older, God let Jones know without a shadow of a doubt that He exists and He goes ahead of all, preparing the way. Jones hopes many Christian readers will know with surety that God exists after sharing these short stories. About the Author Beverly Young Jones attended Norfolk State University to study art and returned later to study elementary education. She worked for the Norfolk Public School System for 17 years, until she retired. In her leisure time when she is not babysitting her grandchildren, Jones enjoys painting portraits of family members, especially her grandchildren. |
