OUR NORDESEL LEADER'S BRIEF NORTHMEN BIOGRAPHY

A Short History and Testimonial of Our Nordic Director

FAMILY BACKGROUND:
Ed was born a member of the Shaddox Clan in modest rural surroundings in America's Fjord (the beautiful Columbia River Gorge) and took off on the Vikings at an early age.

NICKNAMES-WEB HANDLES:
Rex, Rex Valiant, the Veritable Viking

EDUCATION AND DEGREES:
From an early age, God gifted Rex (Ed) with intellectual skills and he has a long list of academic achievements. Moreover, God provided him some of the best colleges in the Land, including Central Washington University, University of Washington, and University of Chicago. During these studies he obtained a BA in Family Studies, a BA.Ed. in Social Science Education, a MA.Ed in Educational Media (A/V Technologies), and the credit equivalent to a Ph.D! Moreover, in college, he learned to speak a little German (and picked up a smattering of Norwegian) and has taught himself a bit of Swedish.

NORTHMEN RESEARCH AND ACHIEVEMENTS:
As a child, Rex (Ed or Daniel) was turned on to NORTHMEN by the movie of Prince Valiant, and since then he has always had an interest in things of Northern European History and Culture. (His ex-wife was a Scandinavian major in college.) In his later years, working in and out of the various Lutheran Churches (and with Lutheran Charismatic Renewal), he got use to ministering to Nordics. And, much of the Organization of the NORDESEL is due to that experience.

NORTHMEN BOOKS AND PUBLICATIONS:
From an early age, Daniel (Rex) has been very gifted and creative--and has written quite extensively (the Articles of this Nordic Web Site being a very good example).

In addition, for the NORDESEL, he has written some specific novels, to enhance that Nordic Culture:

IVAR VIDFADMI:

the High-King of Scandinavia, 600s A.D. (King Arthur like figure for Vikings)

RURRIK THE GREAT:

The Viking Founder of Ancient Russia, 800s A.D.

AhQo

The Greatest Love Story Ever Told (modern Nordic romance)

RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCES:
In earlier years, his parents had gone to church, but by the time that he came around, they were out of the church going mode. Thus, being raised rather secularly, the Great Thinkers and World Philosophers were his early mentors. (And Leonardo d'Vinci his tutor!)

Then...

1. In '69, his grandfather introduced him to his Hebrew Heritage (Roots in Holy House).
2. In the Spring of 1972, he was REGENERATED in the Jesus Freak Movement. (And, if you have not been born again, we recommend it to you--see REGENERATION.)

3. Shortly thereafter, he was Baptized in the Holy Ghost at a Chi Alpha House meeting. (And, if you have not received the Out Pouring, we recommend it, also--see Our Article on ENGIFTMENT.)

4. In '76, during the Bremerton Revival, he received the Calling to the Northern Nations (but other matters delayed his response to God, until later).
5. Then, in '93, he began work in earnst on the Nordesel Realm.
6. In '97, we received use of computer space, and the Viking Revival Web site was born and soon grew into Our larger Northmen Renewal Web Site. And here we are today!

NEXT STEP...
The purpose of this Article (and of the whole Web Site) is so that you might make your own personal RETURN to God. And, whether you just need RENEWAL or full REGENERATION, we heartily encourage you to turn to Our Revival Course, and set your life afire for God! You can look the Revival Course up yourself, or use the handy link, below:
