The first in a series about the youthful adventures Florin, Islif, and Jhessail—the much-loved Knights of Myth Drannor—as they battle to win and defend their honor Florin Falconhand has always yearned for adventure, so when he saves the life of a Cormyrean king, it is a dream come true. But with adventure comes great danger, and unfortunately for Florin, his heroics earn him the enmity of some of Cormyr’s most dangerous denizens. If he and his friends are to survive the adventures that await them, they must learn what it means to be true to themselves, to each other, and to the Crown. In Florin's picturesque village of Eveningstar, nestled at the foot of the Stonelands, the Knights of Myth Drannor rise up. Now, for the first time, here is their story: the battles and adventures, the love and death, that brought together the band of the greatest adventurers the realms have ever seen. Their tales are among the grandest in all of Faerûn: how a diverse, rowdy group of men and women were forged into an arm of steel that smote monsters and stood guard while others slept.

Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861) is regarded as one of the true masters of ukiyo-e, the populist art of Edo-period Japan. Kuniyoshi produced thousands of prints and designs during his lifetime, but is perhaps best-known for his musha-e ("warrior prints"), which propelled him to prominence around 1827-1830. Kuniyoshi's series 108 Heroes Of The Suikoden was revolutionary in its dynamics, colour and visual violence, establishing the delirious, almost proto-psychedelic style with which the artist would recreate archetypal heroes, outlaws and renegades from Japanese history and legend over the ensuing decades.OUTLAW DEATH SWORDS collects the entire 74-picture 108 Heroes series, plus Kuniyoshi's equally vivid and complex 30-picture 800 Heroes Of Our Country's Suikoden (Honchô Suikoden gôyû happyaku-nin no hitori, 1830-1836); taken together, the 104 portrait images of warriors, heroes and anti-heroes in OUTLAW DEATH SWORDS comprise a stunning selection of the art and imagination of an unsurpassed 19th century master as applied to the dazzling, hyper-kinetic and often violent genre in which he remains unsurpassed.

From Birth to Resurrection in the Gospel of Luke Jesus came to lift up the lowly. Throughout his ministry to his final days on the road to the cross, we find stories of his relationships with ordinary, flawed, and unexpected people. He met, dined, and traveled with people who were not perfect. Many of them were struggling, some were outsiders or even outlaws. Whoever they were, from those he healed to the outlaws with him at his crucifixion, Jesus brought the good news of God’s kingdom to those who most needed to hear it. In Luke: Jesus and the Outsiders, Outcasts, and Outlaws, pastor and bestselling author Adam Hamilton explores the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus as told in the Gospel of Luke. Through Luke’s stories we find Jesus’ care and compassion for all as he welcomes sinners and outcasts. As we study Luke and see Jesus’ concern for those who were considered unimportant, we hear a hopeful and inspiring word for our lives today. The book can be read alone or used for a group study and church-wide Lenten program. Additional components include video teaching sessions featuring Adam Hamilton, a comprehensive leader guide, free downloadable resources for children and youth, and a digital worship and sermon helps. The book includes a link to download the free teaching resources for children and youth.

Collectors Edition! Highly Recommended! "The Phoenix on the Sword" begins with a middle-aged Conan of Cimmeria attempting to govern the turbulent kingdom of Aquilonia. Conan has recently seized the bloody crown of Aquilonia from King Numedides whom he strangled upon his throne; however, things have not gone well, as Conan is more suited to swinging a broadsword than to signing official documents with a stylus. The people of Aquilonia, who originally welcomed Conan as their liberator from Numedides' tyranny, have gradually turned against him due to his foreign Cimmerian blood. They have built a statue to Numedides' memory in the temple of Mitra, and people burn incense before it, hailing it as the holy effigy of a saintly monarch who was done to death by a red-handed barbarian.

This study takes the sword beyond it functional role as a tool for killing, considering it as a cultural artifact and the broader meaning and significance it had to its bearer.
