DOWNLOAD EBOOKTales of deceit, betrayal and revenge in ancient Rome await... Includes all four books in The Centurions series; The Centurions, The Barbarian Princess, The Emperor’s Games and The Border Wolves. The Centurions: Correus and Flavius are half-brothers, sons of a brilliant general. One, son of a slave, is a born warrior destined to excel. The other, a nobleman by birth, must struggle relentlessly to succeed. When they both join the Centuriate, a position Flavius has always known he will inherit, and one that Correus has long coveted, together they face the brutal reality of war. Fighting German barbarians will prove dangerous, not only to their bodies, but to their souls as well... Barbarian Princess: Half-brothers and rivals, Correus and Flavius, lead dangerous lives as Centurions. After imprisonment and torture, Flavius found his strength and proved his mettle. Correus, son of a slave, found glory on the battlefield. But now the brothers have been stationed in Wales, a land of barbarians, mud and freezing rain. Here they must face the shame of lost battle and the thrill of a new era for their beloved Rome. And in Wales awaits a prize that could change one of their lives forever... The Emperor's Games: Correus and Flavius have won respect in service to the Empire. Correus is entrusted with the honoured task of running the Emperor’s brutal games. Flavius, a Centurion at his brother’s side, has risen to become the Emperor’s most trusted advisor. But now Correus has been given a deadly mission: quelling a barbarian uprising in Germany. While he struggles to negotiate a treaty that could save the lives of thousands, he uncovers a deadly plot that could cast the Empire – and his own family – into ruin... The Border Wolves: A new threat has emerged at the outskirts of the Roman Empire on the Danube, one that could throw the entire region into chaos. Correus, risen to prefect of a cavalry ala on the border, and Flavius, advisor to the emperor, have both attempted to warn the erratic Domitian of the seriousness of this foe, but to no avail. With trouble at home in the form of an irate senator, as well as the impending doom of a devastating military loss, can the two brothers use their accumulated experience, grit and trust in each other to ensure their family’s safety, once and for all? An epic Roman adventure series spanning continents, perfect for fans of Simon Scarrow, Ben Kane and Conn Iggulden. Praise for Amanda Cockrell ‘A thrilling Roman adventure.’ Alex Gough, author of Emperor's Sword ‘Amanda Cockrell has the finest sense of history, character, and narrative I've seen since Rosemary Sutcliff.’ Delia Sherman, author of The Porcelain Dove ‘The novel is action-packed and descriptive at the same time, which lends to the successful scenes that the reader can enjoy.’ Historical Novel Society ‘This set of books is outstanding, a real compelling read that I couldn’t seem to put down.’ Reader review ‘I wish this story would go on and on... I have enjoyed every aspect of this series of books! They are exceptionally well written.’ Reader review

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCenturion Lucius Titus Justus is a devoted Roman soldier. He oversees the city of Capernaum with fairness and diligence. Though still tenuous, Lucius has cultivated a peaceful coexistence for the Jews and Romans he rules over. This is not the case for all of Judea. Factions of bandits threaten the peace of the province, and disloyalty among the Roman ranks tips the scales in favor of revolution. Lucius and his men soon learn of a plot against Pontius Pilate that could see the end of his rule. It seems one man, a Jewish priest who has been garnering both praise and skepticism for his wonderous acts, is a key element in a rogue centurion's plan to take power from Pilate. Lucius is familiar with the stories circulating the region of this man and his radical teachings but has ignored this relatively harmless priest to tend to more pressing matters. That is, until his beloved servant becomes the victim of a tragic accident. The boy's injuries are beyond the abilities of Lucius's most trusted physician. He finds himself seeking out this Jesus for a miracle. What he finds is more than he ever imagined. Join The Centurion in his journey to faith and redemption.

Her guardian, friend, and her husband’s commander, First File Verus Celsus Calix, has been gravely wounded beyond the rudimentary methods available ... but can she provide modern medicine? With time running against her, and her husband’s trust running out, Alex races to hold together the past without destroying her future.

He killed an unfaithful lover by just letting her grow old, but her hate pursued him across seven centuries. In 1358 he stood with a few dozen knights against an army of nine thousand to defend the life of a beautiful countess...and earned a love that would conquer death. Now Vitellan has awakened in the twenty-first century, a bewildered fugitive, betrayed and hunted in a world where minds and bodies are swapped and memories are bought, sold, and read like books. But worst of all, a deadly enemy from the fourteenth century is still very much alive--and closing in.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKJanette Oke has dreamed for years of retelling a story in a biblical time frame from a female protagonist's perspective, and Davis Bunn is elated to be working with her again on this sweeping saga of the dramatic events surrounding the birth of Christianity...and the very personal story of Leah, a young Jewess of mixed heritage trapped in a vortex of competing political agendas and private trauma. Caught up in the maelstrom following the death of an obscure rabbi in the Roman backwater of first-century Palestine, Leah finds herself also engulfed in her own turmoil--facing the prospect of an arranged marriage to a Roman soldier, Alban, who seems to care for nothing but his own ambitions. Head of the garrison near Galilee, he has been assigned by Palestine's governor to ferret out the truth behind rumors of a political execution gone awry. Leah's mistress, the governor's wife, secretly commissions Leah also to discover what really has become of this man whose death--and missing body--is causing such furor. This epic drama is threaded with the tale of an unlikely romance and framed with dangers and betrayals from unexpected sources. At its core, The Centurion's Wife unfolds the testing of loyalties--between two young people whose inner searchings they cannot express, between their irreconcilable heritages, and ultimately between their humanity and the Divine they yearn to encounter.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Gospel According to Matthew By: Arge J. Brockles Based on nothing more than a long-held tradition, the four Gospels of the Bible have been taught as being New Testament documents, written for the Church. However, that is a false presumption. The four Gospels are Old Testament books, giving the factual historical record of more than three hundred prophecies, from Genesis to Malachi, of the coming of Israel’s Messiah King. They are four thematic accounts of the life, ministries, and crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth, Israel’s promised Messiah and King. A study of the Gospel of Matthew proves that fact beyond any reasonable doubt. The Gospel According to Matthew was written to help those interested in knowing the truth to come to the knowledge and conviction of the truth, as God has set it forth. May it be used to that purpose.
