Rebecca and Rowena

By William Lane Craig and Paul Copan

No Customer Reviews

Rebecca and Rowena: A Romance Upon Romance is a novel written by William Makepeace Thackeray. The story is set in the medieval times and revolves around two young women, Rebecca and Rowena. Rebecca is a Jewish girl who lives with her father, Isaac of York, and Rowena is a Saxon princess who lives with her father, Cedric the Saxon. The two girls meet and become friends despite their different backgrounds. The novel follows their adventures as they fall in love with two knights, Ivanhoe and Athelstane, who are also vying for Rowena's hand in marriage. The story is filled with romance, adventure, and intrigue as the characters navigate their way through the medieval world. Thackeray's writing style is witty and engaging, and he uses his characters to comment on the social and political issues of the time. The novel is a satire of the romantic novels of the era and pokes fun at the conventions of the genre. Overall, Rebecca and Rowena: A Romance Upon Romance is a charming and entertaining novel that will appeal to fans of historical fiction and romance. Thackeray's clever writing and engaging characters make this a must-read for anyone interested in the literature of the 19th century.It was not until the King wanted to interfere with the sport of every gentleman in England (as we know by reference to the Historic Page that this odious monarch did), that Athelstane broke out into open rebellion, along with several Yorkshire squires and noblemen. It is recorded of the King, that he forbade every man to hunt his own deer; and, in order to secure an obedience to his orders, this Herod of a monarch wanted to secure the eldest sons of all the nobility and gentry, as hostages for the good behavior of their parents.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Suspenseful and Powerful

By Thriftbooks.com User, July 24, 2009

I have to admit I was not going to read this book. The cover of the book did not appeal to me and it looked rather gory, I am so glad I changed my mind. This Christian fiction book covers suspense, hope, revenge, and forgiveness. Salty Like Blood attempts to answer the question, "Why would a God of love allow so much pain?" Dr. David Conner's career is on the fact track. He is about to make partner. Suddenly life is turned...

Great Book

By Thriftbooks.com User, May 28, 2009

I ALWAYS enjoy Harry Kraus novels....have read them all. I loved this one and found it full of mystery as well as issues we all face...forgiveness, God's grace, and compassion. I wish he would write a sequel because I, like another reviewer, wonder who was the heavy man at the end of book. I can't wait for his next book.

This is a must-read!

By Thriftbooks.com User, April 6, 2009

Harry Kraus is definitely, in my opinion, an up and coming writer and if he keeps on like this he could become one of the greats. Salty Like Blood is the story of one man's desperate efforts to find his daughter. Everyone else thinks she was swept out to sea but he is convinced she was abducted and will put everything on the line to prove it and save her. Plenty of twists, turns and sub plots coupled with a masterful ending...

What a great novel this is; it may be my all-time favorite! This Christian fiction contains a compelling plot with suspense, hope, romance, revenge, and forgiveness, centered around amazingly real characters. I suppose we've all asked the question, "Why would a God of love allow such pain?" This book attempts to answer that question, and the answer works for me! Perhaps it will for you too. By writing the narrative of the...

Riveting New Read

By Thriftbooks.com User, March 29, 2009

This is my first Harry Kraus M.D. book but it won't be my last. Salty Like Blood is a riveting book. It held my attention from the beginning to end. It kept me guessing on a few situations too. The ending has twist you might not see coming. The main theme in the book is forgiveness with God and others. The characters and scenery are vivid. The plot is interesting and not completely predictable.
