Download or read book The Devil s Chosen written by Robert W Barker and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Faster, faster come the German shouts. Louder and more impatient. Into the ravine they run. 'Schnell! Schnell!' No time to think. No time to escape. Fear chokes their hearts. Breathing comes quick and shallow. No place to hide. No place to go but down the bank, down into nature's quiet embrace, open to greet them, open to enfold them." The brutality and terror of the Holocaust is chillingly brought back to life in this series of fictional accounts from author Robert Barker. SS officer Hans Grüber, the sometimes confused and troubled perpetrator, acts as our guide by connecting the scenes in the different stories. With a focus on the stark, personal decisions made by the perpetrators and victims alike, The Devil's Chosen raises disturbing and enduring questions. Do we summon the bravery to stand against evil, or do we abandon all to save ourselves? Do we have the right and the power to forgive the silent bystanders as well as those responsible? What is our role? The Devil's Chosen brings the actions and decisions of both the victims and the perpetrators into focus against the unforgiving background of terror and death.

Download or read book Why the Devil Chose New England for His Work written by Jason Brown and published by Open Road + Grove/Atlantic. This book was released on 2011-10-18 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Brown’s comic take on America today is both amazing and memorable . . . One of the most brilliant and original new writers to appear for a long time.” (Alison Lurie, Pulitzer Prize–winning author) “Everything Natalie said seemed, to herself, to have been said better by him. He was less fond of speaking, however, than he was of hitting people in the face, which seemed a more likely source of her love to those of us who knew him,” begins Jason Brown’s linked collection of beautifully haunted, violent, and wry stories set in the densely forested lands of northern New England. In these tales of forbidden love, runaway children, patrimony, alcohol, class, inheritance, and survival, Brown’s elegant prose emits both quiet despair and a poignant sense of hope and redemption. These vivid accounts of troubled lives combine the powerful family drama of Andre Dubus and Russell Banks, the dark wit of Denis Johnson, the lost souls of Charles D’Ambrosio, and the New England gothic of Nathaniel Hawthorne. “One quality that makes these stories feel unmistakably new is Brown’s . . . seamless, oddly cinematic shifts among points of view . . . He has a gift for crisp, angular sentences, some of which are embedded with a quiet humor.” —Time Out New York “In Jason Brown’s fine story collection . . . the inhabitants of Vaughn, Maine, are stalked not by Stephen King horror but by intimate afflictions of blood, accident, and history. Yet their stories are too vivid to be entirely bleak. Maine’s woods and rivers, its changing light, are the beautifully rendered constants in a harsh, even malevolent, world.” —The Boston Globe

Book excerpt: Your Mind Is the Devil's Playground Here's the truth: The devil can't beat you on even ground.

Download or read book The Devils Wimp Was Gods Man written by Alzina Mouton-Moore and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-11-03 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why This Book In the late 1980's I started Ministering at different Men Jails and Prisons in California. This particular time as I was getting ready to go to my assigned Pod, there were Deputies bringing in Men shackles by their hands and feet; one of the Men looked at me and said we need prater too. I always wanted to go into the Pod where the gangs were, but they never allow me. My Hear would cry for them because they would allow gang members to be in the same cells and you could actually feel the tension. I ministered at Chuckawalla and Ironwood Prison in Blyte CA; Donovan Prison which is in San Diego, CA. The talent and gifts that were in the Jails and Prisons blew my mind because all these gifts and talents were locked up. The Devils Wimp was born in 1989, and the Lord bless me to preach it in the prisons and jails. Let's Get to Eden was born in 2010. I was visiting this church in Rialto CA and they sang the song Let's Get Back to Eden living on top of this world. And in January 2011, the Lord blessed me to have Men's Conference "Let's Get Back to Eden because You're Up Front On Top and In Charge" was the theme. In 2016 was when the Lord out the titles together and He wanted it in book form, so here it is. Truly just seeing the miraculous hand of God's work in the lives of Men, the transformation is awesome. Why the book, because men are hurting wanting to be delivered and set free. They really don't like themselves the way they are, but they have so much pride and would rather stay that way until they are urged by God that they need to be delivered. When God sets them up and touch their heart truly they are ready to get rid of the pride and every chain that is keeping them in bondage and want to be free. Just seeing them crying and crawling on the floor trying to get to the altar, and God meeting them there at the altar is life changing not just for them but for us also. Just seeing the new creation bloom. There was one time I was having a Men's fellowship in my one-bedroom apartment. I didn't' think it was going to be that man men there. It was fifty men and they were in the balcony, living room, dining room and in the kitchen and they were like sardines. I forgot the message that God has given me but man oh man, oh man it was truly a set up by God. Afterwards, (I always was the only there) I would have a couple of ladies that would help me serve food. When they walked in they were shocked and guess what my Brothers in Christ cleaned up and put everything back in order. Why the book, just like us ladies men have been mistreated, rejected, betrayed, bruised, abused and the list goes on and on, so have they. And God wants His men to be encouraged and strengthened, Delivered and set free so they could be the Real Men, husbands, father's, uncles, grandfathers, and brothers' that God ha call them to be. My prayer is that every make would allow The Man (Jesus Christ) into their lives, so He could teach them how to take their Rightful place in this world and take dominion (rule) over everything God has given them, they way it was in Eden ( the garden of delight)....

Download or read book Chosen by the Devil written by Kala Aster and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-09-20 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Book 2 of the Unruly Gods series When three gods escaped Olympus, they had no idea how much trouble would come from it. Daphne is more comfortable with research than magic. The youngest Fate guarding the Gates of Crossing came into her powers late and the only way she can compete with the others is through knowledge. Is it any wonder why she'd fall for the thoughtful and intellectual Hades? Too bad that retreating into her scrolls isn't helping to snuff out the desires raging inside her for the god. Hades is desperate to resist his new and unsettling feelings toward the quietest Fate, especially when they're thrown together on a journey to uncover new information. The bookish Fate is a glowing light in his otherwise dark existence, and he sees that there is more to the raven-haired beauty than she knows. He's determined to help her harness the full potential of her powers... though he's losing his heart to her in the process. When they learn that Zeus has declared the unruly gods and their accomplice Fates as enemies-with their punishment being death-the gods and Fates must band together to come up with a plan. Can Daphne and Hades survive the wrath of the most powerful god? Or will their love be extinguished before it even begins?

This book was released on 2020-01-28 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One day Satan, the devil, came to the Garden of Eden. He told Eve she should eat the fruit of the tree of good and evil. Eve said God had told her and Adam not to eat it. Satan said the fruit was very good. He told Eve it would make her wise. She would know good and evil. Eve chose to eat the fruit. Eve told Adam she had eaten the fruit. She would have to leave the garden. She gave Adam some of the fruit. Adam ate it. God came to see Adam and Eve. They had not obeyed God. They were afraid. They ran and hid. According to one tradition, refuse was stored on the lowest of the ark's three decks, humans and clean beasts on the second, and the unclean animals and birds on the top; a differing interpretation described the refuse as being stored on the utmost deck, from where it was shoveled into the sea through a trapdoor. Precious stones, said to be as bright as the noon sun, provided light, and God ensured that food remained fresh. Some more unorthodox interpretations of the ark narrative also surfaced: the 12th-century Jewish commentator Abraham Ezra interpreted the ark as being a vessel that remained underwater for 40 days, after which it floated to the surface When Obama was age two, Barack Sr. left to study at Harvard University; shortly thereafter, in 1964, Ann and Barack Sr. divorced. (Obama saw his father only one more time, during a brief visit when Obama was 10.) Later Ann remarried, this time to another foreign student, Lolo Soetoro from Indonesia, with whom she had a second child, Maya. Obama lived for several years in Jakarta with his half sister, mother, and stepfather. While there, Obama attended both a government-run school where he received some instruction in Islam and a Catholic private school where he took part in Christian schooling. Trump began his political career by seeking the nomination for the Reform Party for the 2000 presidential race and withdrew; he again publicly announced he would be running for president in the 2012 election. However it wasn’t until the 2016 election that Trump became the official Republican nominee for president and, defying polls and media projections, won the majority of electoral college votes in a stunning victory on November 8, 2016. Despite losing the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by almost 2.9 million votes, Trump's electoral win —306 votes to Clinton's 232 votes — clinched his election as the 45th president of the United States.

Download or read book Christianity The Devil s Greatest Trick written by Adam Weishaupt and published by Magus Books. This book was released on with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's a simple fact that most Christians know next to nothing about Christianity. How many people are aware of the many heresies that were stamped out by the early Church? Had any of these heresies triumphed, the world would be a very different, and much saner place. Find out about the monstrous St Augustine and his doctrines of grace, Original Sin, Predestination and the Total Depravity of the human race. This "saint" was happy to send to hell unbaptised babies that died in infancy. His great enemy was the humane and rational Celtic monk Pelagius. The great tragedy of Christianity is that it listened to Augustine rather than Pelagius. Were the Jews advocates of temple prostitution, even within the confines of Solomon's holy temple to Yahweh? The material in this book is provided by the Pythagorean Illuminati, the oldest secret society in the world, and is not for petty, cheap, narrow-minded religious fanatics.

Download or read book The Prince of This World written by Adam Kotsko and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2016-10-26 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Kotsko goes beyond the biography of an icon to a provocative investigation of the devil’s many lives and effects in cultural and political ideologies.” —Laurel C. Schneider, author of Beyond Monotheism The most enduring challenge to traditional monotheism is the problem of evil, which attempts to reconcile three incompatible propositions: God is all-good, God is all-powerful, and evil happens. The Prince of This World traces the story of one of the most influential attempts to square this circle: the offloading of responsibility for evil onto one of God’s rebellious creatures. In this striking reexamination, the devil’s story is bitterly ironic, full of tragic reversals. He emerges as a theological symbol who helps oppressed communities cope with the trauma of unjust persecution, torture, and death at the hands of political authorities and eventually becomes a vehicle to justify oppression at the hands of Christian rulers. And he evolves alongside the biblical God, who at first presents himself as the liberator of the oppressed but ends up a cruel ruler who delights in the infliction of suffering on his friends and enemies alike. In other words, this is the story of how God becomes the devil—a devil who remains with us in our ostensibly secular age. “This diabolically gripping genealogy offers a stunning parable of western politics religious and secular. It tracks as has never been done before the dramatic shifts of the relation between God and the Devil—conflict, rivalry, game of mirrors, fusion. With the ironic wisdom of a postmodern Beatrice, Kotsko guides us through the sequence of hells that leads to our own.” —Catherine Keller, author of On the Mystery: Discerning Divinity in Process

Book excerpt: “As America assesses the value of our intervention in Afghanistan and involvement in future foreign wars, we must always consider the price. Andrew and his friends’ service was valorous and honorable. His authentic perspective of the environment and the eye-opening costs to our soldiers is sobering. These accounts should be mandatory reading for foreign policy makers and defense department leaders.” — Major General (Ret.) Brian Mennes, United States Army, Former Fury 6 “The Devil’s Playground” was anything south of the second canal to the men of Charlie Company’s 2nd Platoon—Two Charlie—during their 2009–2010 deployment to the Arghandab River Valley in Afghanistan. The valley had been a notorious hot spot throughout history, with the Russians unable to maintain a foothold in the 80s and Coalition forces now facing the same problem during Operation Enduring Freedom. The Two Charlie paratroopers deployed as part of the 2-508th PIR, Two Fury, of the 82nd Airborne Division, but always seemed to be on their own. They started their deployment attached to Canadian forces in Panjwai but were shortly moved into the Arghandab with one of the battalion’s biggest Areas of Operation. They inherited a bare bones outpost that they worked hard to turn into the defendable position known as COP Tynes, while patrolling the grape fields and orchards of the valley. Little did they know that when the leaves returned to the valley in the spring, so too would the fighting. As the fighting picked up in the valley, the men of Two Charlie continued to sustain casualties as they fought day in and day out. There was never a dull moment in the Arghandab, and the fact that Two Charlie had to patrol, act as a quick reaction force, and secure their outpost on their own ensured that they never stopped. The men were constantly brought to their breaking point as their numbers dwindled and the fighting intensified. The men all started to believe that they weren’t going to make it out of the valley alive. The one rule of the valley would be proved time and time again: in the end, the valley always wins. This book shares the story of the men of Two Charlie and their fight for survival in the Arghandab River Valley, the Devil’s Playground.
