Covenant with Death

Product Information

Ben has his own romantic problems being caught between two women, a desirable Swedish girl, and a sultry Mexican heiress. As Ben struggles with the trial and his personal demons, he faces the truth about himself and the law. Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people.” Because of their fear of the rising power of the Assyrians in the north, the kings of the 10 northern tribes (Israel, or Ephraim) relied upon treaties with the Assyrians under Tilgath-Pileser, and were paying tribute. I bought this in a second hand bookshop in Bangkok of all places and it's spent the last thirty years travelling around the world with me. Superficially, it's a straight forward tale of Kitchener's Army (a thinly disguised version of the Sheffield Pals) from formation in 1914 to destruction on the Somme in 1916.

This is also classic because the characters are truly and delicately developed. The reader knows as muc about the Ben Lewis as his mother, his mentor, his neighbors, and the characters suspected of the murder. In fact, the murderer is no real surprise at the end.The purpose of this book is to reveal the horror, suffering and essential bestiality of modern war, and with that revelation, to warn the nation against the peril of foreign entanglements that must lead Briton to a new Armageddon - All the pictures are taken from authentic photographs." More than the details of the murder, the process of the trial, or the guilt or innocence of the accused, this is a story about the struggle of a good man to judge the life of another without prejudice or ???. It is about reaching deep and finding the best you can be among the foibles that make you a human being. It is about the choice every man who is challenged with injustice must make: whether to be part of the status quo or to risk stepping outside the boundaries that are comfortable to us all. Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:” If anyone knows of this book or its rarity, or if anyone would like any copies of the photos contained i will attempt to scan and send them directly whilst i still have the book on loan. I guess there is well over 200 photos in there (and 1 trench report for ALBERT 19/02/17) and im not sure that the books condition could be maintained doing that many scans, so if anyone has any particular "theme" of photo in mind please let me know and ill get right on it.

Stirringly told from the view of everyday soldiers, Covenant with Death is acclaimed as one of the greatest novels about war ever written. With a new foreword by Louis de Bernières, author of Captain Corelli's Mandolin . One has an opportunity to see young Judge Lewis take an analytical legal approach to the events, often with some knowledge of classical literature, while at the same time reflect on his own, self-centered, actions as a young man. Old Judge Ben Lewis, of course, has a slightly different point of view. The year is 1923 somewhere in the southwest where the oppressive heat is a part of life. A young judge, newly appointed by the state, struggles with this honor and responsibility against his personal life, which is still not completely baked. Your agreement with death and the world of the dead will be broken. Then angry, roaring waves will sweep over you. Your covenant with death will be canceled, and your pact with Sheol will not stand; When the overwhelming scourge (assault/war) passes through, then you become its trampling place.(Isaiah 28:15, 18)I stumbled across Covenant With Death because I was searching for a hidden gem and found this extraordinary novel. It tells the story of the Sheffield Pals Battalion during the first world war, from 1914 until the first day of the battle of the Somme. Told from the point of view of Mark Fenner, a young man who worked on a Sheffield newspaper, it follows the experience of the young men who joined up out of a sense of duty and patriotism and their experience of life and death in Kitchener’s Army, serving in one of the Pals Battalions created to support the war effort. Laden with knowledge yet sparely written, Covenant with Death is the work of an author immersed in the lives of those who fought' i found this book about two years ago at a car boot, and paid the the price of 6p yes 6p in a box of mixed books all intacted it pays to keep those eyes peeled.

Finally, it seems as if Israel learns their lesson. Isaiah prophesies that in the Messianic Kingdom, after being trampled by Antichrist for 3 ½ years, Israel will repent of their misplaced trust. For you said, "We have made a covenant with death; we have fashioned an agreement with Sheol. When the overwhelming scourge passes through it will not touch us, because we have made lies our refuge and falsehood our hiding place." Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us. Your covenant with death will be canceled, And your pact with Sheol will not stand; When the overflowing scourge passes through, Then you will become its trampling place. And Sour league with death shall be abolished, and your covenant with hell shall not stand: when the overflowing scourge shall pass, you shall be trodden down by it.
