Book excerpt: Having safely delivered her brother to the portal against impossible odds and unimaginable foes, and choosing not to follow him through it to a shared destiny, Khia Ashworth must forge a new path to an uncertain future.

Whisked away to the questionable sanctuary of the Vatican's hallowed halls, Khia and her trusted companions must keep themselves from being buried beneath the weight of its history and power, learning who to trust and from whom they need to run. Unwittingly breathing life into ancient prophecies long dismissed as rhetoric and legend, and setting deadly wheels in motion, Khia's unique family of friends must face the forces of evil that are pitted against them once more, enlisting the help of unlikely allies in their attempt to escape the grasping reach of the church's army and the deadly enemies hidden within its ranks. Pursued by legendary creatures of mist and fire, across merciless deserts and countless worlds connected by the slimmest of threads, Khia must learn to move beyond the borders of time and place to discover her own power-hidden somewhere along the Corridor of Doors.

Download or read book Seven Shots written by Jennifer C. Hunt and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2010-09-15 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On July 31, 1997, a six-man Emergency Service team from the NYPD raided a terrorist cell in Brooklyn and narrowly prevented a suicide bombing of the New York subway that would have cost hundreds, possibly thousands of lives. Seven Shots tells the dramatic story of that raid, the painstaking police work involved, and its paradoxical aftermath, which drew the officers into a conflict with other rank-and-file police and publicity-hungry top brass. Jennifer C. Hunt draws on her personal knowledge of the NYPD and a network of police contacts extending from cop to four-star chief, to trace the experience of three officers on the Emergency Service entry team and the two bomb squad detectives who dismantled the live device. She follows their lives for five years, from that near-fatal day in 1997, through their encounters inside the brutal world of departmental politics, and on to 9/11, when they once again put their lives at risk in the fight against terrorism, racing inside the burning towers and sorting through the ash, debris, and body parts. Throughout this fast paced narrative, Hunt maintains a strikingly fine-grained, street-level view, allowing us to understand the cops on their own terms—and often in their own words. The result is a compelling insider’s picture of the human beings who work in two elite units in the NYPD and the moral and physical danger and courage involved. As gripping as an Ed McBain novel—and just as steeped in New York cop culture and personalities—Seven Shots takes readers on an unforgettable journey behind the shield and into the hearts of New York City police.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six Plus One Equals Seven turns its attention to precisely the parts of the Bible that many people, especially all who desire to explore the foundations of their faith, find their pastors glossing over. By asking the straightforward questions that come to mind when one reads the Bible, Forrest R. Fichthorn gives voice to the curiosity that people often find they are discouraged from cultivating.

Thats exactly the kind of question that Six Plus One Equals Seven embraces. A quick review shows that its seven chapters look at a variety of topics: Is God Real and the Bible True?, Creation as a Prophetic Picture, The Absolute Preciseness of God, What Do All the Bible Sevens Mean?, Holy Convocations, What Are They?, Pictures of the Seven Thousand-Year Plan, and The Glorious Kingdom. If you are the sort of person who naturally asks, Why? and What about ?, then you will find Six Plus One Equals Seven a helpful companion on your journey to discover the answers to your numerous questions about the Bible and about the ways of God.
Download or read book Seven Aunts written by Staci Lola Drouillard and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2022-06-14 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part memoir, part cultural history, these memories of seven aunts holding home and family together tell a crucial, often overlooked story of women of the twentieth century They were German and English, Anishinaabe and French, born in the north woods and Midwestern farm country. They moved again and again, and they fought for each other when men turned mean, when money ran out, when babies—and there were so many—added more trouble but even more love. These are the aunties: Faye, who lived in California, and Lila, who lived just down the street; Doreen, who took on the bullies taunting her “mixed-blood” brothers and sisters; Gloria, who raised six children (no thanks to all of her “stupid husbands”); Betty, who left a marriage of indenture to a misogynistic southerner to find love and acceptance with a Norwegian logger; and Carol and Diane, who broke the warped molds of their own upbringing. From the fabric of these women’s lives, Staci Lola Drouillard stitches a colorful quilt, its brightly patterned pieces as different as her aunties, yet alike in their warmth and spirit and resilience, their persistence in speaking for their generation. Seven Aunts is an inspired patchwork of memoir and reminiscence, poetry, testimony, love letters, and family lore. In this multifaceted, unconventional portrait, Drouillard summons ways of life largely lost to history, even as the possibilities created by these women live on. Unfolding against a personal view of the settler invasion of the Midwest by men who farmed and logged, fished and hunted and mined, it reveals the true heart and soul of that history: the lives of the women who held together family, home, and community—women who defied expectations and overwhelming odds to make a place in the world for the next generation.

Then another soul called Seven gives Six some interesting news: You can get Out by climbing up through one of the chimneys, and Seven figured out how to get to them. Six and Seven set off across the ashy plains toward a chimney, and they quickly learn the rules. The only way to reach the chimney is to progress toward it metaphysically, by finding objects from their lives before In.
