The Revolutionary War in the Lymes started as a rebellion of ideas. From its origins in the Cromwellian Saybrook Colony; Lyme (today's Lyme; Old Lyme; East Lyme and Salem) prospered under the free hand of self-governance and spurned King George III's efforts to rein in the wayward colonies. In 1765; Reverend Stephen Johnson wrote incendiary missives against the Stamp Act. A few years later; the town hosted its own Tea Party; burning one hundred pounds of British tea near the town green. When the alarm came from Lexington in 1775; Lyme's citizens were among the first to answer. Historians Jim Lampos and Michaelle Pearson explore how local Patriots shaped an epic revolt.

For those who are prepared to look beyond religious dogmaBy Clarke IllmaticalThe startling title will offend individuals who belong to religious faiths. However; this book isn't for everyone. It is for those who are searching for answers. Those who may have been apart of a religious group or sect and realized that what they were taught was false.There are two portions of this book; the first covering Sumerian history; the oldest civilization in the world; their gods and their interpretation of world events during the world's first civilization. Their explanation of how mankind was created is fascinating and hopefully will encourage all readers to learn more about Sumerian history.The latter half discusses many of the glaring errors in the bible and how Christendom ultimately is used as a tool to mislead many of its followers.Again; this isn't for everyone. Those who are content with Sunday service in church and passing the collection plate should stay clear of this book -- it may wake you up.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. This is a must read for anyone serious about their spiritualityBy Sharon Moore WarfieldBamboozled Besieged by Lies is a must read for anyone who has a desire to think critically about their spirituality. Tim Aldred ventures far beyond the simple expression of his own critical point of view. He walks the reader through the evolution of man as well as the historical facts surrounding the development and formation of Christianity as we know it today. Using concise dialogue; he goes deep into biblical text to reveal the necessity of a higher level of cognitive thinking toward all religious doctrine.While you may or may not wholistically agree with its contents; Bamboozled will forever change your relationship and view of the bible as well as your faith. Excellently researched and written; Bamboozled is a welcomed addition to any reader's literary treasure chest.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Bamboozled! Besieged by Lies; Man Never a SinnerBy cedric daltonI read this book because i have always felt the same way about the power and Hegemony of Christianity. Tim does a great job of exposing obvious contradictions of the Book. After reading this you must develop questions arise in the readers mind? if this is done in this book what about the other so called holy books. critical thinking is what is awarded here and demonstrated. People need to break free from belief systems that lack evidence of what they say. this book will give you great tools for bring out truth and freeing your mind. I highly recommend this book.
