Download or read book The Serpent Within the Beast written by S. Col�n and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How many times have you heard incomplete facts explaining why the dinosaurs and prehistoric man walked on the earth? Have these theories given by man left you more confused and unsure of what the truth really is? First Corinthians 14:33 tells us, gFor God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. h Who is really behind the mystery of evolution that leaves you confused and unsure of what to believe? Job 41:32 warns of Satan fs deception as the mighty sea serpent, "He maketh a path to shine after him, one would think the deep to be hoary (to appear ancient or old)." The confusion of evolution comes from a spiritual power struggle between God, "the Creator", and Satan, "the counterfeiter" who is reaching for his own glory over the earth's inhabitance. John 8:44 says of Satan, "When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own, for he is a liar, and the father of it." In all reality, why would God create the primary dinosaurs that cause doubt in Him and continues to rob Him of His glory of a perfect creation? As you read The Serpent Within The Beast, you will discover Satan fs hidden power to deceive mankind through the discovery of the giant prehistoric bones and fossils. Satan is the evil counterfeiter of the ways of God which dates back to before God created perfect flesh on the earth. Through Satan fs powers to do great wonders, he said, gI will be like the Most High, h and attempted to exalt himself as a god. Now learn how, when, and why the earth struggles with evolution fs past, as we journey through the Word of God to unveil Satan fs lies of deception. This book clearly provides a complete biblical explanation of why the dinosaurs and prehistoric man came into existence and of their destruction as it is written in God fs Word.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Told with brains and heart" —Michelle Gable, New York Times bestselling author of A Paris Apartment "Bristles with charm and curiosity" —Winston Groom, New York Times bestselling author of Forrest Gump "A wholly original and superbly crafted work of art, Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance is a masterpiece of the imagination." —Lori Nelson Spielman, New York Times bestselling author of The Life List and Sweet Forgiveness "Charlotte's Web for grown-ups who, like Weylyn Grey, have their own stories of being different, feared, brave, and loved." —Mo Daviau, author of Every Anxious Wave Ruth Emmie Lang teaches us how to find magic in the ordinary in her magical realism debut Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance. Orphaned, raised by wolves, and the proud owner of a horned pig named Merlin, Weylyn Grey knew he wasn’t like other people. But when he single-handedly stopped that tornado on a stormy Christmas day in Oklahoma, he realized just how different he actually was. As amazing as these powers may appear, they tend to manifest themselves at inopportune times and places, jeopardizing not only his own life, but the life of Mary, the woman he loves. Beasts of Extraordinary Circumstance tells the story of Weylyn Grey’s life from the perspectives of the people who knew him, loved him, and even a few who thought he was just plain weird. Although he doesn’t stay in any of their lives for long, he leaves each of them with a story to tell: great storms that evaporate into thin air; fireflies that make phosphorescent honey; a house filled with spider webs and the strange man who inhabits it. There is one story, however, that Weylyn wishes he could change: his own. But first he has to muster enough courage to knock on Mary’s front door.

Book excerpt: A tale as old as time is made new in Ashley Poston's fresh, geeky retelling of Beauty and the Beast—now with a bonus Starfield story! Rosie Thorne is feeling stuck—on her college application essays, in her small town, and on that mysterious General Sond cosplayer she met at ExcelsiCon. Most of all, she’s stuck in her grief over her mother’s death. Her only solace was her late mother’s library of rare Starfield novels, but even that disappeared when they sold it to pay off hospital bills. On the other hand, Vance Reigns has been Hollywood royalty for as long as he can remember—with all the privilege and scrutiny that entails. When a tabloid scandal catches up to him, he’s forced to hide out somewhere the paparazzi would never expect to find him: Small Town USA. At least there’s a library in the house. Too bad he doesn’t read. When Vance’s and Rosie’s paths collide, sparks do not fly. But as they begrudgingly get to know each other, their careful masks come off—and they may just find that there’s more risk in shutting each other out than in opening their hearts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filled with magic and fierce emotion, Lisa Jensen's multilayered novel will make you question all you think you know about beauty, beastliness, and happily ever after. They say Château Beaumont is cursed. But servant-girl Lucie can’t believe such foolishness about handsome Jean-Loup Christian Henri LeNoir, Chevalier de Beaumont, master of the estate. But when the chevalier's cruelty is revealed, Lucie vows to see him suffer. A wisewoman grants her wish, with a spell that transforms Jean-Loup into monstrous-looking Beast, reflecting the monster he is inside. But Beast is nothing like the chevalier. Jean-Loup would never patiently tend his roses; Jean-Loup would never attempt poetry; Jean-Loup would never express remorse for the wrong done to Lucie. Gradually, Lucie realizes that Beast is an entirely different creature from the handsome chevalier, with a heart more human than Jean-Loup’s ever was. Lucie dares to hope that noble Beast has permanently replaced the cruel Jean-Loup — until an innocent beauty arrives at Beast’s château with the power to break the spell.

Book excerpt: "The Book of Lessons attempts to describe a series of lessons which were born from some encounters, signs, experiences and messages that I received from God. It is filled with the spiritual tools that were lovingly given to me to help me avoid the crash and burn of a life lived selfishly and without regard to the well being of myself and others. The messages and lessons include sacred sources of untold wisdom and intertwine all-religions and spiritual paths. They have taken me on a journey of tremendous personal transformation occurring by 'tuning into the Living Universe''' and by practice. It is my hope that you too will see synchronicity in the signs and messages that you experience everyday, in your great Dance with God in a loving relationship. And that your connection with that love and power will light your path as you proceed, and the transformation will bring you unspeakable joy." - Marc Steven Mazis

In the walled city of Kos, corrupt mages can magically call forth sin from a sinner in the form of sin-beasts—lethal creatures spawned from feelings of guilt. Taj is the most talented of the aki, young sin-eaters indentured by the mages to slay the sin-beasts. But Taj’s livelihood comes at a terrible cost. When he kills a sin-beast, a tattoo of the beast appears on his skin while the guilt of committing the sin appears on his mind. Most aki are driven mad by the process, but Taj is cocky and desperate to provide for his family. When Taj is called to eat a sin of a member of the royal family, he’s suddenly thrust into the center of a dark conspiracy to destroy Kos. Now Taj must fight to save the princess that he loves—and his own life. Debut author Tochi Onyebuchi delivers an unforgettable series opener that powerfully explores the true meaning of justice and guilt.

Download or read book Victorian Animal Dreams written by Deborah Denenholz Morse and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-05-15 with total page 513 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Victorian period witnessed the beginning of a debate on the status of animals that continues today. This volume explicitly acknowledges the way twenty-first-century deliberations about animal rights and the fact of past and prospective animal extinction haunt the discussion of the Victorians' obsession with animals. Combining close attention to historical detail with a sophisticated analytical framework, the contributors examine the various forms of human dominion over animals, including imaginative possession of animals in the realms of fiction, performance, and the visual arts, as well as physical control as manifest in hunting, killing, vivisection and zookeeping. The diverse range of topics, analyzed from a contemporary perspective, makes the volume a significant contribution to Victorian studies. The conclusion by Harriet Ritvo, the pre-eminent authority in the field of Victorian/animal studies, provides valuable insight into the burgeoning field of animal studies and points toward future studies of animals in the Victorian period.

Download or read book The Divine Law written by Reverend Lawrence L. Blankenship and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-10-24 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GOOD AND EVIL was written at the suggestion of some Bible students and was limited in scope to personal hygiene and disease pre-vention...how to keep healthy, stay young and live long...yet it was described by God Words and reader as Holy Bible in content because of my simple, direct and unpretentious style of writing. This book was written in the very same style and contains the answers to all the spiritual and medical problems of possible interest to the individual, to the family and to the community. The Good and Evil is regarding God, Satan, Sinful Disease, Seven Deadly Sins, the Sheep and the Goats, and Prayer cannot be rightly understood without some knowledge of general history during the millennium before Jesus Christ. The Bible is not only a book for Christians but a national literature, which needs to be studied, like any other literature, from an esthetic and historical point of view. The Divine Law: Good and Evil is Reverend Lawrence L. Blankenship sixth book in this series.
Download or read book Staging a Comeback written by Peter C. Kunze and published by Rutgers University Press. This book was released on 2023-09-15 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1980s, Walt Disney Productions was struggling, largely bolstered by the success of its theme parks. Within fifteen years, however, it had become one of the most powerful entertainment conglomerates in the world. Staging a Comeback: Broadway, Hollywood, and the Disney Renaissance argues that far from an executive feat, this impressive turnaround was accomplished in no small part by the storytellers recruited during this period. Drawing from archival research, interviews, and textual analysis, Peter C. Kunze examines how the hiring of theatrically trained talent into managerial and production positions reorganized the lagging animation division and revitalized its output. By Aladdin, it was clear that animation—not live action—was the center of a veritable “renaissance” at Disney, and the animated musicals driving this revival laid the groundwork for the company’s growth into Broadway theatrical production. The Disney Renaissance not only reinvigorated the Walt Disney Company but both reflects and influenced changes in Broadway and Hollywood more broadly.

Download or read book Snake written by Drake Stutesman and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2005-11-15 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A snake smells with its tongue, hears with its flesh, and breathes under the sand with one lung; it can copulate for days with one snake or with fifty at once; it has infrared radar; and it can induce spontaneous bleeding if threatened. With all these qualities, it is easy to see how snakes have such varied associations in cultures around the world: while celebrated in tattoos and tales, and for medicinal benefits, snakes are also so universally feared that they constantly endure intense persecution and rarely enjoy protected rights. Drake Stutesman explores here in Snake the fascinating natural history of the maligned serpentine. Stutesman examines a wide range of sources to investigate the complex and widespread symbolism the snake has inspired, including the serpent's temptation of Eve in the Bible, Kaa in The Jungle Book, the Chinese zodiac, Indian snake charmers, and the Hollywood film Anaconda. She looks at the role snakes have played in human culture and science, from snake cuisine and the use of venom in medicine to the intriguing history of snake symbolism in art, architecture, cinema, and even clothing. Richly illustrated and written in an engaging style, Snake is an invaluable resource for snake enthusiasts and scholars, as well as for all who love, admire, or fear this fascinating and enduring animal.
