SHOCKED but pleasantly so

Hi GR friends!

Can't believe my new angel book garnered the #1 New Release spot on Amazon in its first week! (Category: Religious Art)

Okay, so maybe not a lot of competition in that category this year haha. Who knows?

Check it out when you have a minute. https://www.amazon.com/Natures-Fire-G...

Many Easter blessings and graces to all.

Quotes by Peter Darcy  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Joan of Arc’s feminine magnetism had an overwhelming motivating power over the demoralized men – and nation – of her day. It is unlikely that even a handsome young man in the vigor of his youth could have had the same effect. Joan’s feminine beauty and virtue simply won over the hearts of her countrymen.”
― Peter Darcy, The 7 Leadership Virtues of Joan of Arc (Life Changing Classic, Volume 32)

“The curmudgeonly Mark Twain was enamored of Joan. So great was his esteem for her life and accomplishments that he once said that it took six thousand years to produce a Joan of Arc, and the world would need another 50,000 before anyone of her stature would ever appear again. That is high praise from a man who did not dole out compliments lightly.”
― Peter Darcy, The 7 Leadership Virtues of Joan of Arc (Life Changing Classic, Volume 32)

“Symbols tell others who the symbol-bearers are in subtle or overt ways. I once sat in an aisle seat on an airplane next to a cello strapped into the middle seat. Its owner sat by the window, and I didn’t need to ask him what he did for a living. Some symbols literally shout identity.”
― Peter Darcy, The 7 Leadership Virtues of Joan of Arc (Life Changing Classic, Volume 32)

That is high praise from a man who did not dole out compliments lightly.”
― Peter Darcy, The 7 Leadership Virtues of Joan of Arc (Life Changing Classic, Volume 32)

“Joan of Arc had an intuitive grasp of the value of symbolism in leadership. Symbols speak loudly about personal (and corporate) identity and endow what they symbolize with deep meaning. So Joan cut her hair to symbolize the female warrior in the company of men. She wore armor to symbolize her oneness with her soldiers. She had priests lead the troops in processions before battles to symbolize the holiness of their mission. She dictated aggressive letters to demand the surrender of her enemies as well as pleading letters to her countrymen to exhort them to join the cause more fervently. What is a letter if not a symbol of a soul’s thoughts and aspirations put down to paper?”
― Peter Darcy, The 7 Leadership Virtues of Joan of Arc (Life Changing Classic, Volume 32)

“A leader’s movement is dynamic, purposeful, and ordered. The very perception of movement often gives vitality to a leader’s mission and engenders dynamism in one’s co-workers. Joan of Arc seemed to have an intuitive grasp of this when she traversed the entire length of Northern France on horseback several times in a few months. This was six hundred years before modern transportation made that an easy feat. Prior to that, Joan had never left the confines of her local community.”
― Peter Darcy, The 7 Leadership Virtues of Joan of Arc (Life Changing Classic, Volume 32)

“In her first major clash with the English before the walls of Orléans, Joan was injured by an arrow that penetrated the seams of her armor and drove through her chest so far that the point protruded out of her back. When the battlefield medics were debating how to best help her, she simply pulled the arrow out with her own hand. (Now there’s a leadership challenge!)”
