“In case you missed it, Jesus says, “Go and make disciples.” He does not say, “Go and tell people about me and baptize them, then move on to someone else.” Our priority is to spend time with the few in our lives who are open and able to learn from us about the commands he has given us. Simply put, discipleship is helping people follow Jesus. This may mean helping people who are already following Jesus or helping people who are not yet following him. It is not just a word that applies to Christians.”

“Khatun (queen) is one of the most authoritative and magnificent words in the Mongolian language. It conveys regality, stateliness, and great strength. If something resists breaking no matter how much pressure is applied, it is described as khatun. The word can form part of a boy’s or girl’s names, signifying power and firmness combined with beauty and grace. Because of the admitted qualities of khatun, men have often borne names such as Khatun Temur, literally ‘Queen Iron’, and Khatun Baatar, 'Queen Hero’.”

“During the thirteenth century Genoese traders in the Black Sea port of Caffa struck a deal to run slaves captured in the Caucasus by the Mongols to the Mamluk rulers of Egypt, shipping them to the Nile Delta via the Black Sea and Mediterranean, whereupon the slaves would be forcibly impressed into the Mamluk army. Effectively this meant that the Christian Genoese were directly responsible for supplying workers to a power that was doing its best to crush the western crusader states of Syria and Palestine.”

“Quelque huit millions de personnes sont ainsi soumises par une armée de trente mille cavaliers. Les historiens réfutent aujourd’hui les récits des contemporains sur les centaines de milliers de « païens sauvages », détruisant tout sur leur passage. La force principale des Mongols, leur « bombe atomique » est le cheval. Chaque cavalier se doit d’en posséder trois, un de rechange et un autre pour son bagage. Une armée, fût-elle de cent mille hommes (or, les chroniqueurs parlent de deux cent cinquante à trois cent mille), aurait besoin d’une quantité de chevaux telle qu’elle ne pourrait trouver à les nourrir que dans certaines régions bien délimitées de l’empire conquis. La première bataille opposant Russes et Tatars sur les bords de la Kalka s’achève, nous l’avons vu, par la victoire des envahisseurs. L’une des raisons en est le petit nombre des guerriers mongols (trente mille) qui donne l’illusion aux armées russo-polovtsiennes de la faiblesse ennemie. En conséquence, les princes n’ont pas besoin de s’unir ni de mener une action concertée. La faiblesse démographique des Mongols exclut, de la même façon, qu’ils occupent les territoires conquis.”
