Book excerpt: The best-laid plans may go awry, but the best-laid clues could frame a man for murder . . . Never one to let a day off work go to waste, café owner Gia Morelli and a friend head out for a blissful kayaking trip through the local national forest. But the peacefulness of the day is soon shattered when they come across Cole, her head cook, standing over a dead body. Worse still, the victim was a lifelong enemy of Cole’s, and clues found on the body point to the cook as the culprit. When the police take Cole in and subject him to an intense grilling, Gia vows to do everything she can to prove his innocence. As even more incriminating evidence surfaces—including when the murder weapon itself is found hidden at the café—Gia knows she’s up against someone brutal enough to kill and devious enough to frame Cole for the deed. With the police ready to make an official arrest and wrap up what they consider an open-and-shut case, Gia turns for help to an old friend who’s not above breaking the law himself. Because if she can’t find the killer, Cole may go from serving up hot dishes to serving a life sentence . . . Praise for the Books of Lena Gregory: “I loved the protagonist, Cass.

Download or read book Blood Light written by A. Roberts and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-05-22 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charissa is a 200-plus-year-old vampire living and working in Old Town, Chicago, only blocks away from the parish of one Father Christopher, a dutiful Catholic priest whose only real concern is the spiritual welfare of his community. That is until the two meet and are never the same again. A chance meeting brings the man of God and the mistress of the night into a strangely symbiotic relationship once she feeds upon him, something she initially tried hard to resist. Soon they are sensing each other's patterns in odd daydream interludes, building toward a newfound connection neither of them can deny. Before long, Charissa begins to experience Communion services conducted by Christopher as though she herself were drinking the blood the wine represents, and he sees sessions she conducts as a dominatrix, a way she's learned over the years to feed in a setting conducive to such. Their lives become more and more entangled as each grapple with the interruption this unwanted bonding has wrought. Moreover, Charissa's cannibalistic vampire origins come into the picture when her maker, a cannibal shaman of the Caribbean, throws out his own tangled web in an attempt to reconnect with her after over a century of silence between them. Though still struggling with the insanity their insertion into each other's lives has wrought, Christopher and Charissa find themselves, and her friend Ariyah and her beau Joe, in the middle of a cross-continental nightmare leading them into the still cannibal-infested islands of the West Indies.

Download or read book Text and Faith written by TEMPO Publishing and published by Tempo Publishing. This book was released on with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS BOOK presents several articles from a process of contemplation on God – while keeping in mind the words of Raimon Panikkar: a discourse on God is a discourse that inevitably only completes itself again “in a new silence”. And so, if the discourse is to continue – which is un-avoidable, and moreover, necessary – and the “new silence” is not or has not yet been achieved, this means one has to try to explore various other already existing contemplations on God and faith. Even though I do not belong to the camp of those who accept Heidegger’s “the God of the philoso-phers”, I think philosophy is necessary to be employed here.

Download or read book Yesteryear s Faith Seeking Understanding written by Philip John Fisk and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2022-06-24 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The voices of yesteryear’s scholastics are silenced. Scholastic distinctions discarded. Faith seeking understanding cancelled. This book turns to university professors who brought classical, medieval, Reformation, and Renaissance thought to bear on the teaching of the doctrine of providence at the early New England Colleges. Their ultimate purpose was to exonerate God from the charge that he was the author, even actor, of evil. Their scholastic method drew from a long and surprisingly ecumenical and philosophical enterprise in the history of the church. This book’s aim is to let the scholastic approaches to the mystery of divine providence speak for themselves. Part One introduces the reader to the art of disputation and provides a guided historical-theological tour of scholastic distinctions that were used by doctors of the church to explain issues related to the doctrine of divine providence. Part Two invites the reader to follow the author on his journeys to Harvard, Yale, the College of New Jersey, and the College of Rhode Island, and Providence Plantations’ commencement-day disputations as he engages in Platonic-like dialogues with presidents, rectors, and students of the New England Colleges. While the dialogues are imagined, the characters, times, locations, and quoted texts are real.

Download or read book From Muhammad to Bin Laden written by David Bukay and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Muhammad to Bin Laden analyzes the ideological, religious, and cultural foundations of one of the most inconceivable phenomena in contemporary world politics. Bukay analyzes the homicide bombings and atrocities perpetuated by worldwide jihad. He also uses information from primary sources to suggest how to cope with this lethal phenomenon.The book explores the meaning and interpretation of the seemingly benign concept of da'wah, the expansion of the Islamic community. Da'wah provides the religious and ideological justification for the lethal phenomenon of worldwide jihad; it describes the incentive and motivational drive that support the emergence and the operation of the fundamentalist Islamic movement. Bukay locates the dimensions of the phenomenon of jihad as well as the reasons, motivations, and aspects of the behavior of fundamentalist groups. The importance of this work lies in its skillful combination of historical perspectives and contemporary dynamics, religious and anthropological aspects of the phenomena, and its use of research tools of both the humanities and social sciences.By exploring the religious and cultural foundations of homicide bombers' activities, Bukay explains the essence of jihad, how it is connected to the da'wah, and together, how da'wah and jihad serve as the platform of the current worldwide terrorist activities. Bukay quotes religious edicts and declarations of classical and modern Islamic texts, as well as contemporary Islamic fanatic movements from Ibn Hanbal in the eighth century to Sayyid Qutb in the mid-twentieth century. He also aims to bring to the world's consciousness the aims and objectives of fundamentalist Islam. The volume concludes by challenging the free world to wake up before the bells of another world war start to ring. From Muhammad to Bin Laden will interest scholars, policymakers, and lay readers. Its importance is transparent, particularly in light of the current developments in the Middle East.
