He found absurd the idea that any ‘‘sinner’’ was deserving of liberty, arguing that ‘‘perfect liberty,’’ entrance to ‘‘heaven itself,’’ could only be achieved by a select group, those who had their hearts ‘‘purged of all selfishness by Christ.’’ .

The first book I read this summer was the Man in the High Castle is a book written by Phillip Dicks. The book is a novel based of the paradox that the result of World War 2 was not a ally victory.

Though this certainly isn 't my favorite performance, that honor goes to From Beyond. I 'll get into my feeling on this stuff in a bit.
In Crusader Castles, Hugh Kennedy takes a strong approach that Crusader Castles are the pinnacle 12th and 13th century engineering.

Kennedy’s book is useful because it divides the crusaders castles into discrete areas and fits them into context of history and the part that they play in them. Something interesting that I have not commonly seen in other sources is his chapter on siege warfare and how it developed throughout the crusade.
