Book excerpt: Another 12 tales of that loveable old Irish rogue, Seamus The second collection of twelve humorous Irish short stories featuring Old Seamus, the Seanachie - a lovable rogue from the fictional Donegal village of Ardnakil - whose amusing yarns and escapades are narrated by his old friend and regular visitor, Jamie. These stories were first published in the popular Irish weekly magazine from Wexford, "Ireland's Own." A Seanachie is an Irish storyteller and Seamus is a great example of a storyteller.

The fire is lit and the smell of burning turf fills the air, the Guinness is cold, his pipe is going and Seamus is ready to tell another few yarns! These stories involve a billy goat, a horse race, a kitten and a giant cucumber. There's a wedding, a birthday and a white Christmas - a mixed up present, that leads to another wedding, and a rescue by the wrong man, who turns out to be the right one in the end! Romance, humour, intrigue and a glimpse into Irish life as it used to be. Seamus is as crafty as they come, is not averse to "taking the law into his own hands," can keep a secret for many years and is a willing nemesis to any who wish harm to the innocent. Seamus O'Hare, Donegal's answer to Robin Hood!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Could the writings of the ancient Hebrew prophets be relevant to events taking place in the world today?These Hebrew prophets - Isaiah, Jeremiah, Habbakuk and the apostle John, in The Revelation - wrote extensively about a latter day city and empire which would dominate, exploit and corrupt all the nations of the world. They referred to it as Babylon the Great - or Mega-Babylon - and they foretold that its fall - 'in one day' - would devastate the economies of the whole world. Have these prophecies been fulfilled already? Is Mega-Babylon:The Roman Catholic Church? A world super-church? Rebuilt ancient Babylon? Brussels Jerusalem somewhere entirely different?Should this city/nation have a large Jewish population? Why all the talk about merchants, cargoes, commodities, trade? Can we rely on the words of these ancient prophets?If so, what else did they foretell that is still to be revealed? Do they refer to other major nations - USA, Russia, China, Europe? What about militant Islam?The author has spent 40 years researching bible prophecy and says:"e;My background is in lecturing, publishing and radio/TV - but previously I ran a construction business. I still love to know how things are put together - buildings, origins of words, phrases - so I have used a similar approach in exploring, what I believe to be, an extremely important and relevant topic."e;

Download or read book Oh What Rapture written by Raymond McCullough and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2014-09-22 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many are convinced that very soon an event known as 'The Rapture' will take place, where bible believers all over the world will suddenly disappear, leaving society at a loss to explain the disappearance of so many. Many non-fiction books, fiction thrillers and movies have capitalised on this theme, earning a fat revenue for their authors/producers. But is this really what the bible teaches? Is 'The Rapture' genuine, or a false hope? Are those who trust in it being duped, so that they do not get ready for what is coming? And are they being disobedient to the clear command of the Lord? Written by the author of Amazon best-selling book, The Whore and her Mother, also on the topic of bible prophecy, this volume focusses on the false teaching of a 'secret and separate Rapture' - an event which is NOT supported by scripture! This book investigates the scriptures used to back up the 'secret Rapture' theory and clearly compares them to the other scriptures concerning the return of the Messiah, Jesus (Yeshua). The evident truth is revealed and the origins of the false 'secret Rapture' doctrine are exposed. Believers around the world are taught to expect persecution, sometimes even death, for their faith. More have been killed in the past century than in previous centuries combined - in China, Cambodia, Nigeria, Iran, Egypt, Indonesia, Vietnam, etc. Yet many believers in the west confidently expect to avoid any persecution and be 'beamed up' out of any coming tribulation! The book also covers several other topics around the second coming - the wrath of God, the Great Tribulation, the first resurrection, Daniel's 'Seventy Weeks', the Return of the King and how we should prepare for all these things in obedience to the words of the Lord. Believers are called to be faithful witnesses - unto death, if necessary! Raymond exhorts disciples of Jesus to be informed, prepared, ready and watching - able to joyfully carry out the commands of the Lord. If you thought believers were simply going to be lifted soon out of a worsening world situation, be prepared to meet the exciting challenge of scripture head on!

Book excerpt: Throughout history, secret societies have played a crucial role in shaping events that have created our world. Only an inner circle of power elite know the full extent of the influence of the conspiracy. It is Paris, 1772, and Sigismundo Celine knows he is destined to play an important part in this history-behind-history. The masons, the English nobil ity, the Jabobites, the Rosicrucians, the ruling clique of pre-Revolution France: these are but a few of the factions involved in the machinations and intrigue in which Sigismundo has become enmeshed. Thrown into the Bastille, shot at, assaulted by assassins, tortured, and brutally interrogated, he knows only what he is and what he must do to become the one spoken of in the old texts. But what he doesn't know could kill him: the secret powers of Maria, the Italian beauty who has become an English Lady; the Irish fisherman, Moon, who stumbles across the inner workings of an unsuspected cult; and the question they keep asking: the identity of The Widow's Son.
