By: Peter CozzensThe story of the pivotal struggle between the Creek Indians and an insatiable, young United States for control over the Deep South—from the acclaimed historian and prize-winning author of The Earth is Weeping
The Creek War is one of the most tragic episodes in American history, leading to the greatest loss of Native American life on what is now U.S. soil. What began as a vicious internal conflict among the Creek Indians metastasized like a cancer. The ensuing Creek War of 1813-1814 shattered Native American control of the Deep South and led to the infamous Trail of Tears, in which the government forcibly removed the southeastern Indians from their homeland. The war also gave Andrew Jackson his first combat leadership role, and his newfound popularity after defeating the Creeks would set him on the path to the White House.
In A Brutal Reckoning, Peter Cozzens vividly captures the young Jackson, describing a brilliant but harsh military commander with unbridled ambition, a taste for cruelty, and a fraught sense of honor and duty. Jackson would not have won the war without the help of Native American allies, yet he denied their role and even insisted on their displacement, together with all the Indians of the American South in the Trail of Tears.
A conflict involving not only white Americans and Native Americans, but also the British and the Spanish, the Creek War opened the Deep South to the Cotton Kingdom, setting the stage for the American Civil War yet to come. No other single Indian conflict had such significant impact on the fate of America—and A Brutal Reckoning is the definitive book on this forgotten chapter in our history.

A Must Read For Every Christian
Format: Kindle
I first learned of the author, Arthur Meintjes, from Andrew Wommack's ministries. After listening to several of Arthur's messages, which are available at his Kingdom Life Ministries' website, I decided to purchase his book. The Kindle version is easy to read between my computer and my phone. The message Arthur presents is clear, God is not angry with me. Arthur along with the Holy Spirit has replaced my vision of God as a stern Judge that I must obey into God the Father who loves me. Since performance is not required for His love, I now can rest easy in His presence. My life is now dedicated to getting to know the Father through the Son with the guidance of Spirit. AMEN! Arthur, thank you such a wonderful book. May the Lord continue to bless you.

This is one of the best books I have read in years
Format: Paperback
This is one of the best books I have read in years. Arthur Meintjes is a joyful teacher who concentrates here on the essence of the Gospel. You will loose your "religion" and gain your rightful relationship with your heavenly Father with a renewed understanding. As a pastor I highly recommend this to churches, small groups, pastors (in particular) and anyone teaching others. In fact I recommend it to anyone who does not feel comfortable with God the Father. You'll find through scripture that our Father God is not the angry being that is always half ready to kill us, or that barely tolerates us, and find that Jesus was the exact representation of our Father, and this is Good News. Highly Recommended.

Intimacy with Father God!
Format: Kindle
Wonderful teaching on the relationship Gods the Father wants worth you; Jesus Christ as an example of that relationship—if you know Jesus, you know the Father and vice-versa. God the loving Father!
