The scenes of destruction and plague also seemed a bit over the top/sensationalist/fearmongering to me. Wouldn't that make selling this book priestcraft? Especially something of this caliber. I have always been taught from my youth that such things should be kept sacred FOREVER. For example, why is this random guy who is not a general authority seem to be such an integral part of creating Zion, to the point of having his office next to Christs? Wouldn't that be somewhere the prophet or the general leadership of the church would be? It also puzzled me that such a sacred descriptive experience, if true, would be published in a book. I particularly liked the descriptions of spirits influencing people (the scene with the pornography addict, bar goers etc), whether or not it is accurate I cannot say but it definitely made me think about some of the things I do.Īfter finishing the book, I had a few questions. I've had an interest in apocalyptic literature for some time, and wrote a research paper on the topic once pulling in a bunch of the different interpretations people have just to see how they all compared. My initial thoughts were that it was a really interesting, and presented some though provoking concepts. They agree with me that it is not doctrine, but has some points to think about and some truth here and there. Edit: I sent some of the articles I'd found about the book to my family member, and found out that I had just misinterpreted their interest in the book.
I was a bit skeptical of it, since it was just some guys experience, but decided to give it a go and see what all the hubbub was about. When it was given to me, the way they explained the book to me made it seem like it was some sort of doctrine and to be taken seriously. Throughout, Churchill learned the lessons that would prepare him for the storm to come, and as the 1930's began, he readied himself for the coming battle against Nazism-an evil the world had never before seen.I was given a copy of the book by a family member and read it through. Yet, as Chancellor of the Exchequer he plunged England into economic crisis, and his fruitless attempt to suppress Gandhi's quest for Indian independence brought political chaos to Britain.
#Who is spencer visions of glory free
In Parliament he was the prime force behind the creation of Iraq and Jordan, laid the groundwork for the birth of Israel, and negotiated the independence of the Irish Free State. He sought glory on the battlefields of Cuba, Sudan, India, South Africa and the trenches of France. Born of an American mother and the gifted but unstable son of a duke, his childhood was one of wretched neglect. In this, the first volume, Manchester follows Churchill from his birth to 1932, when he began to warn against the re-militarization of Germany. The Last Lion: Visions of Glory follows the first fifty-eight years of Churchill's life-the years that mold him into the man who will become one of the most influential politicians of the twentieth century. The first volume in William Manchester's masterful, magnum opus account of Winston Churchill's life.
