Marry the prince. All are eligible to compete—all except yōkai, supernatural monsters and spirits whom the human emperor is determined to enslave and destroy. Mari has spent a lifetime training to become empress. Winning should be easy. And it would be, if she weren't hiding a dangerous secret. Mari is a yōkai with the ability to transform into a terrifying monster. If discovered, her life will be forfeit. As she struggles to keep her true identity hidden, Mari’s fate collides with that of Taro, the prince who has no desire to inherit the imperial throne, and Akira, a half-human, half-yōkai outcast.

Drawing on the wisdom, stories, poetry, prayers and humour that are at the heart of the Celtic tradition, Inspiration for All Seasons reminds us of where we come from and brings comfort when it is badly needed.

Download or read book Carl Henry Theologian for All Seasons written by G. Wright Doyle and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2010-04-01 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carl F. H. Henry has been called "the Dean of evangelical theologians," and "the premier theological representative of the evangelical movement in the last half of the twentieth century." When his magnum opus, God, Revelation, and Authority, first appeared, it was hailed as "the most important work of evangelical theology in modern times."Carl Henry: Theologian for All Seasons not only introduces contemporary readers to Carl Henry the man, but also demonstrates that his theology possesses striking relevance for our own situation. We are introduced to his place in the complex mosaic of twentieth century theology, his simple but sophisticated doctrine of revelation, and his value for current discussions of a wide variety of issues.Henry's reflections on hermeneutics, philosophy, and faith; the nature of revelation and of God; the social implications of Christianity; and many other vital topics, turn out to be as pertinent now as when they were written.Not everyone agrees with Carl Henry's approach, of course, so this book features an extensive dialogue between Henry and his critics, making the case that his thought has been incorrectly described as outmoded and that he offers clear guidance for twenty-first century thinkers.To make the wealth of material on the many topics in God, Revelation, and Authority more accessible, the book includes a theological index, a macro index, and detailed outline of the entire six volumes.
Download or read book God Really Really Likes You written by Becky Proctor and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever felt alienated from, angry at, intimidated by, or otherwise disconnected from God? You are not alone. Countless people go through life feeling, among other things, that God doesn’t like them, but this book shares life-changing news: God really, really likes you, just the way you are – barefaced, unfiltered, unpolished, on your worst hair day ever. In this book, the author shares her own struggles with misunderstanding God, beginning as a child. “I was a child who didn’t ask many questions. From bits and pieces of fundamental sermons and overheard conversations, my image of God was anything but loving. I pictured God as the enforcer, the disapprover, a bad Santa, ready to catch me doing something ‘bad.’” She kept a respectful distance from God for years. Learn what motivated her to finally accept God’s offer of grace, how simple it was to do and how fulfilling life is now that she knows God not only loves her, but likes her as well, and how God reveals Himself in the simplicity of everyday life. So, no matter how raggedly, how despicable you are feeling, God likes you and loves you. He created you in His own image. You are not some randomly occurring experiment or some fatally flawed lump of humanity. You are not a victim of your circumstances, or of another’s bad decisions, or someone else’s selfish dreams. You are God’s creation, made for a divine purpose to walk through this life on a journey that goes beyond your wildest dreams. And the best part of all — God’s got your back every step of the way.

Download or read book Five Seasons written by A. B. Yehoshua and published by HMH. This book was released on 2012-12-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This tale of an awkward Israeli widower and his misadventures with women is an “extraordinary novel . . . a masterpiece” (Los Angeles Times). After seven long years of illness, Molkho’s wife passes, leaving him in mourning, but also with an unexpected sense of freedom. No longer is he bound to being a caretaker for a woman too sick to even bear his touch. His future—and his desires—are his own. As the seasons of his life propel the hapless middle-aged accountant through a series of journeys and a string of infatuations—with an unwanted wife, an aggressive bureaucrat, a young girl, and a Russian émigré—Molkho begins to find the real element that was missing in his life was not romance, but his own will. An absurd, tragic, humorous, and hopeful meditation on love, marriage, and the quiet struggles of average Israeli lives, Five Seasons “reconfirms [A. B. Yehoshua’s] status as a shrewd analyst of domestic ordeals” (Publishers Weekly).
