Review: Within the pages of Dan's first book, Way of the Peaceful Warrior, Socrates sends Dan out into "the fires of daily life" to learn what he must. During this time of difficulty and disillusion, Dan's is given a grant to travel around the world. Sacred Journey relates the first part of his travels, as Dan searches for a mysterious woman shaman in a Hawaiian rainforest to find a critical clue that will direct him to a hidden school-the next step on his journey
In year 3512, during a new middle age, a warrior in full battle armor entered the head master's office within a Buddhist Monastery. “I wish to know peace,” said Aegard humbly to the seated Head Master Kel. “I wonder,” mused Kel as he arose and stood before the warrior, “can you actually learn peace?” Elsewhere in the monastery, Kirstn, a confused girl of twelve, regrets the deaths of her family and wonders what fate has in store for her. Kirstn has an amazing gift which, for the time being, only her headmaster suspects.
“Machowicz gives you the tools necessary to ensure that you win in the battle of life.”
Unleash The Warrior Within by Richard "Mack" Machowicz and I have to say that I recommend the book to anyone that is interested in learning techniques for success and achieving goals. Many of you probably know Mack as host of the TV show Future Weapons. If so, you know that Mack is a former Navy Seal.
This finely illustrated book explores over seven hundred years of European warfare, from the time of Charlemagne to the end of the middle ages (c. 1500). The period covered has a distinctive character in military history.
It was an age when organization for war was integral to social structure, when the secular aristocrat was by necessity also a warrior, and whose culture was profoundly influenced by martial ideas.
The Knights of Christ
The ancient warrior code which persisted in medieval Christian Europe dictated that a man's greatest virtues were physical strength, skill at arms, bravery, daring, loyalty to the chieftain and solidarity within the tribe. The primitive Church had been diametrically opposed to such ideals, however by the early 8th century the Church had grown wealthy, and the Saracen invasions of Spain and France posed a threat to that wealth. The Roman Church began to support war in defence of the faith, and by channelling the martial spirit into the service of God, the brutal warrior of the past was transformed into a guardian of society.
