Download or read book Do Angels Have Big Ears written by B. J. Jones and published by Gazelle Press. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Say hello to the folks from Sweetgum County! The Quabalaka Mountain Range is bounded on the north and west by the mighty Quabalaka River (Cherokee for big fish ) and on the south by mountains so high that the early settlers, who looked up and saw them disappear into the clouds, proclaimed the area to be the very foot of heaven. This novel is a patchwork of the funny, happy, tragic, and sometimes poignant tales of the generations who have lived and died in this area. Their stories, tied together, form one inspiring adventure. The story begins with John Edgar Salt, a mountain-flower grandson of Sweetgum County s most prominent bootlegger during the early thirties, and makes its way from the depression through post-World War II. It is peppered with a myriad of lovable characters who, whether they deserved it or not, were blessed by an angel a four-legged one. This book is not a story, it s an experience and experiences have no outlines. To try and read this book and not feel it is like trying to grab smoke. Good luck. Lori Hebride, Book Editor, The Sweetgum Gazette A great read! Our town hasn t been this excited about anything since President Millard W. Fillmore visited us in 1853. The Honorable Arlo P. Gaddis, Mayor, Sweetgum God truly does work in mysterious ways. Mr. Jones tongue-in-cheek masterpiece is a creative example of how it could happen. Did it happen? Perhaps someday in heaven, we ll all find out! Cecil P. Bledsoe, Associate Pastor, Saint Lucy Church of the White Mule B.J. Jones was born in the Cumberland Mountain area of Southern Kentucky, a region not unlike the fictitious place he writes about. Having spent his entire career in advertising, culminating as Senior Vice President and Executive Creative Director of J. Walter Thompson/Chicago, he is now spending his elder years writing about God and the people he loves.
Download or read book Angels and Angelology in the Middle Ages written by David Keck and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1998-07-23 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently angels have made a remarkable comeback in the popular imagination; their real heyday, however, was the Middle Ages. From the great shrines dedicated to Michael the Archangel at Mont-St-Michel and Monte Garano to the elaborate metaphysical speculations of the great thirteenth-century scholastics, angels dominated the physical, temporal, and intellectual landscape of the medieval West. This book offers a full-scale study of angels and angelology in the Middle Ages. Seeking to discover how and why angels became so important in medieval society, David Keck considers a wide range of fascinating questions such as: Why do angels appear on baptismal fonts? How and why did angels become normative for certain members of the church? How did they become a required course of study? Did popular beliefs about angels diverge from the angelologies of the theologians? Why did some heretics claim to derive their authority from heavenly spirits? Keck spreads his net wide in the attempt to catch traces of angels and angelic beliefs in as many portions of the medieval world as possible. Metaphysics and mystery plays, prayers and pilgrimages, Cathars and cathedrals-all these and many more disparate sources taken together reveal a society deeply engaged with angels on all its levels and in some unlikely ways.

In the frozen wastes they encounter the remains of the Ingitkuk who rebelled against the Ch’ang in antiquity and lost their witch princess, She Whom the Reindeer Love. Mapmaker knew her when she died half a millennium ago as Her Breath Is Of Jasmine. Will Mapmaker lead Sebastian, the Hengstmijster and the Ingitkuk to their doom against the Ch’ang?

Book excerpt: The remarkable truth about angels, the agents of Heaven, unveiled through Scripture—from the New York Times best-selling author of Everything You Need “Outstanding! As one would expect from David Jeremiah, this book reflects a theologian’s concern, a pastor’s heart, and a Biblicist’s accuracy.”—Dr. Bruce Wilkinson People have long been fascinated by stories of angel sightings, yet many contemporary beliefs about angels are based on misconception and myth rather than solid, biblical truth. As he’s done so brilliantly for decades, respected Bible teacher Dr. David Jeremiah of Turning Point Ministries uses Scripture to unveil the remarkable truth about these agents of heaven and their role in our world and our lives. What are angels? What is their role in God’s plan? Are they present? Do they appear? Do they give us personal insight about our work and our worship? In this broad and thorough survey of Scripture, Dr. Jeremiah clearly and simply separates fact from fiction as it relates to angels. His enlightening findings are supported with illustrations and insights from prominent teachers, such as Billy Graham, Corrie ten Boom, C. S. Lewis, and more. Dr. Jeremiah’s down-to-earth style guides readers around the hype about angels and directly into everything you need to know about the “substance of things unseen!”

Book excerpt: In this acclaimed psychological thriller, a man is haunted by a killer who terrorized his rural Southern hometown: “a tour de force” (Michael Connelly). Georgia, 1939. In the small community of Augusta Falls, twelve-year-old Joseph Vaughn is devastated to learn of a female classmate’s brutal murder. She had been his friend—someone Joseph loved—and she was far from the killer’s last victim. A few years later, Joseph is determined to protect his town, but he is powerless in preventing more murders—and no one is ever caught. Ten years later, a neighbor is found hanging from a rope, surrounded by belongings of the dead girls. The killings cease. The nightmare appears to be over. Plagued by everything he has witnessed, Joseph sets out to forge a new life in New York. But even there the past won’t leave him alone—for it seems that the murderer still lives and is killing again, and that the secret to his identity lies in Joseph’s own history.
Download or read book Funism the New Religion written by Richard T. Halfpenny and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-10-16 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hilarious tale of a gambler who dreams he died in a mysterious car crash and faces judgment day in a poker tournament with Vishnu, Moses, Jesus, Buddha and Mohammed. It is a satirical, provocative, defiant, eclectic expose of the absurdities that separate common sense and religion. No sacred cows are spared. It emphasizes the wars fought in the name of religions and Gods. Funism, a new religion is juxtaposed with the five major organized religions. The fiery debate encompasses: theology, philosophy, ethics, culture, history, psychology, economics, gambling and politics. The absurdities of religions may seem innocuous to realists, but when fanatics act on them, the repercussion can wreak havoc in society, and among nations.
Download or read book The Beginning of Wisdom written by Leon Kass and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2003-05-20 with total page 722 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine that you could really understand the Bible...that you could read, analyze, and discuss the book of Genesis not as a compositional mystery, a cultural relic, or a linguistic puzzle palace, or even as religious doctrine, but as a philosophical classic, precisely in the same way that a truth-seeking reader would study Plato or Nietzsche. Imagine that you could be led in your study by one of America's preeminent intellectuals and that he would help you to an understanding of the book that is deeper than you'd ever dreamed possible, that he would reveal line by line, verse by verse the incredible riches of this illuminating text -- one of the very few that actually deserve to be called seminal. Imagine that you could get, from Genesis, the beginning of wisdom. The Beginning of Wisdom is a hugely learned book that, like Genesis itself, falls naturally into two sections. The first shows how the universal history described in the first eleven chapters of Genesis, from creation to the tower of Babel, conveys, in the words of Leon Kass, "a coherent anthropology" -- a general teaching about human nature -- that "rivals anything produced by the great philosophers." Serving also as a mirror for the reader's self-discovery, these stories offer profound insights into the problematic character of human reason, speech, freedom, sexual desire, the love of the beautiful, pride, shame, anger, guilt, and death. Something as seemingly innocuous as the monotonous recounting of the ten generations from Adam to Noah yields a powerful lesson in the way in which humanity encounters its own mortality. In the story of the tower of Babel are deep understandings of the ambiguous power of speech, reason, and the arts; the hazards of unity and aloneness; the meaning of the city and its quest for self-sufficiency; and man's desire for fame, immortality, and apotheosis -- and the disasters these necessarily cause. Against this background of human failure, Part Two of The Beginning of Wisdom explores the struggles to launch a new human way, informed by the special Abrahamic covenant with the divine, that might address the problems and avoid the disasters of humankind's natural propensities. Close, eloquent, and brilliant readings of the lives and educations of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Jacob's sons reveal eternal wisdom about marriage, parenting, brotherhood, education, justice, political and moral leadership, and of course the ultimate question: How to live a good life? Connecting the two "parts" is the book's overarching philosophical and pedagogical structure: how understanding the dangers and accepting the limits of human powers can open the door to a superior way of life, not only for a solitary man of virtue but for an entire community -- a life devoted to righteousness and holiness. This extraordinary book finally shows Genesis as a coherent whole, beginning with the creation of the natural world and ending with the creation of a nation that hearkens to the awe-inspiring summons to godliness. A unique and ambitious commentary, a remarkably readable literary exegesis and philosophical companion, The Beginning of Wisdom is one of the most important books in decades on perhaps the most important -- and surely the most frequently read -- book of all time.
