Download or read book Beware of Ancient STD s written by Billy E. Chatman Jr. and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2023-11-15 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I was 13 I contracted an STD all because I was doing things and going places that I had no business going. It was the worst thing that a 13 year old could ever experience. I will never forget this experience as long as I live. Three days after going into the red light district I began to feel a burning sensation and I had to figure out how I am going to tell my mom and dad that it hurts and burns when I use the restroom. Years later I discovered after going into ministry that contracting an STD is similar to what happens when people come in contact with demonic spirits but instead of it being a physical relationship it is all spiritual. I understand what the bible was saying when it said we must guard our eye gates and ear gates because those are the gateways to our soul. Many believers as well as unbelievers have opened themselves up to demonic activity and has allowed satan and his demonic forces to penetrate their souls. Why are the saints sleeping with the enemy? This book will identify the ancient spirits of this world that continue to attack the saints in the 21st century. This book will also teach you how to close demonic portals that you have no idea were open in your life. Go with me on a journey of spiritual warfare and defeating the demonic forces that are attacking you and your families.

Download or read book Film and the Holocaust written by Aaron Kerner and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-05-05 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When representing the Holocaust, the slightest hint of narrative embellishment strikes contemporary audiences as somehow a violation against those who suffered under the Nazis. This anxiety is, at least in part, rooted in Theodor Adorno's dictum that "To write poetry after Auschwitz is barbaric." And despite the fact that he later reversed his position, the conservative opposition to all "artistic" representations of the Holocaust remains powerful, leading to the insistent demand that it be represented, as it really was. And yet, whether it's the girl in the red dress or a German soldier belting out Bach on a piano during the purge of the ghetto in Schindler's List, or the use of tracking shots in the documentaries Shoah and Night and Fog, all genres invent or otherwise embellish the narrative to locate meaning in an event that we commonly refer to as "unimaginable." This wide-ranging book surveys and discusses the ways in which the Holocaust has been represented in cinema, covering a deep cross-section of both national cinemas and genres.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I fight for good. What makes a man virtuous? Is it how he was raised? The people he surrounds himself with? Or is it something that comes from his very soul? For the young Druzeel Sesstar, it is the way he has always lived his life. Regardless of the tragic death of his parents, Druzeel stills sees the world filled with honor, kindness, and integrity, beliefs encouraged by his adoptive father Graeak, a powerful wielder of magic. He is content with his studies and driven to be as great a wizard as his mentor. Because of this, Druzeel has little time for the outside world. It is this isolation that has helped paint a land full of kindness and virtue, but when a powerful artifact is stolen, Druzeel will be thrust into a world that is not what he expected. When he finds that the world is not as genuine as he was taught, will he let the hard truth affect him or will he remain true to himself? When his beliefs are challenged at every turn, the good inside him shall be tested like never before. He must hold onto his convictions or he risks losing everything, including his soul.
