In 1521, Suleiman the Magnificent, Muslim ruler of the Ottoman Empire, dispatched an invasion fleet to the Christian island of Rhodes. This would prove to be the opening shot in an epic clash between rival empires and faiths for control of the Mediterranean and the center of the world. In Empires of the Sea, acclaimed historian Roger Crowley has written a thrilling account of this brutal decades-long battle between Christendom and Islam for the soul of Europe, a fast-paced tale of spiraling intensity that ranges from Istanbul to the Gates of Gibraltar. Crowley conjures up a wild cast of pirates, crusaders, and religious warriors struggling for supremacy and survival in a tale of slavery and galley warfare, desperate bravery and utter brutality. Empires of the Sea is a story of extraordinary color and incident, and provides a crucial context for our own clash of civilizations.

Didn't do much for me
Scent: Unscented, Size: 4 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have a tattoo that has lost its luster and I thought this would be good to try to bring it back to life. This does have a scent as I am sensitive to smells, but it does dissipate. What I noticed mostly though is that it really did nothing more than my “V” Radiant Spray that I use on the norm. The only difference is that this did lay on top of the tattoo for a bit longer. I guess I will have to except what Mom told me, my tattoo will fade and blur one day.

Awesome product overall and it keeps my skin feeling fresh!

I’ve tried a lot of tattoo lotions and oils over the years, and most either feel greasy or don’t really do much, but this one actually delivers a noticeable difference without any of the downsides. I’ve been using the for a while now, and it does a great job keeping my tattoos looking healthy, hydrated, and more defined. The biggest thing I’ve noticed is how it improves the overall appearance, colors look a bit richer, blacks look deeper, and it helps prevent that dry, ashy look that can make tattoos seem dull over time. It’s not overly shiny or fake looking either, just a natural “refreshed” look. The formula with jojoba oil and vitamin E actually feels like it’s doing something beneficial for the skin long term, not just sitting on top like a coating, and since it’s fragrance free it’s great if you don’t want anything overpowering or irritating. At 4 oz, the size is solid and a good value, and because it spreads easily and absorbs quickly, you don’t need to use much, so it lasts longer than you’d expect. I’ve been using it mostly after showering or before going out, and it fits easily into a daily routine without feeling like an extra step. It works especially well for maintaining older tattoos or larger areas like sleeves where keeping skin moisturized really makes a visible difference. It’s definitely meant for healed tattoos, not fresh ones, but for ongoing maintenance it does exactly what you want, keeps everything looking clean, smooth, and well cared for without any greasy residue or transfer onto clothes. Overall, it feels like a good value for what you’re getting, especially if you want something simple, effective, with high quality ingredients, and easy to use consistently.

nuggets of gold
Format: Kindle
An amazing insight into the wisdom and the hearts of Enoch and Elijah. Enoch describes how he knew God so well and walked with him in heaven before he died. As you catch his heart for the Lord it will make you want to know God for who He is. It has developed in me a burning passion to really seek after and know God like Enoch did! Elijah also so powerful seemed a distinctly different and unique personality sharing insight into what's to come for us in the future of the earth and how to really live our lives as Jesus did. This book is chok-a-block full of riches and information on how these great prophets tell us God wants us to truly live and love our neighbour and the unlovely. We sometimes walk by them and not help the needy when we sing songs like I surrender all in church but don't help them out. God wants us to be sincere and genuine. That for me stood out as the main message
