Download or read book Hungry Souls written by Gerard J. M. van den Aardweg and published by TAN Books. This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a week of hearing ghostly noises, a man is visited in his home by the spirit of his mother, dead for three decades. She reproaches him for his dissolute life and begs him to have Masses said in her name. Then she lays her hand on his sleeve, leaving an indelible burn mark, and departs... A Lutheran minister, no believer in Purgatory, is the puzzled recipient of repeated visitations from "demons" who come to him seeking prayer, consolation, and refuge in his little German church. But pity for the poor spirits overcomes the man's skepticism, and he marvels at what kind of departed souls could belong to Christ and yet suffer still... Hungry Souls recounts these stories and many others trustworthy, Church-verified accounts of earthly visitations from the dead in Purgatory. Accompanying these accounts are images from the "Museum of Purgatory" in Rome, which contains relics of encounters with the Holy Souls, including numerous evidences of hand prints burned into clothing and books; burn marks that cannot be explained by natural means or duplicated by artificial ones. Riveting!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Love Story from the Aftermath of World War II THEY SEEMED MADE FOR EACH OTHER: young and in love, and filled with dreams. But something went terribly wrong. Was it the awful aftermath of the war? Or something more? Something incomprehensible. Something never anticipated or perceived. On a university campus bulging with ex-GIs, a traumatized combat veteran and an idealistic sophomore fell madly in love. Years later, the long-dead sophomore, invading his computer as he tries to make a novel of his life, lures him back to reprise what went wrong. Their bittersweet reassessments and besotted indulgences provide a wacky tour of Truman-era morality, a sobering look at postwar USA, and an ardent time-travel love story about memory, commitment, and the decisive decisions that frame our lives. Along the way readers may: Join the American Veterans Committee (AVC), a new WW II veterans organization with the idealistic slogan "Citizens First, Veterans Second"; Cheer Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., Charles Bolte, Cord Meyer, and others as they battle the American Communist Party for control of AVC; Integrate a bar near the campus that refused to serve Blacks; Attend a seminar led by Alger Hiss, later accused as a Soviet spy; Go to a riotous Communist Party rally and emerge intact and wiser; Vote for Thomas Dewey, Strom Thurmond, Harry Truman, or Henry Wallace in the 1948 presidential election; Get married as a dazzled Episcopal priest mingles the Christian Science of Mary Baker Eddy with Saint Paul as the lights go low in the funky little Episcopal Church near the campus; and Relive that crazy and wonderful year, 1948, when in the glow of youth, the end of World War II, and the establishment of the United Nations, all the world seemed filled with promise even as the beginning of the Cold War cast ever-darkening shadows. Within this beautifully written, brainy, and often witty love story, are a plethora of observations about war and its repercussions, love and its consequences, memory and its caprices, writing and its perils, and death and its regenerations.

Download or read book Purgatory s Shore written by Taylor Anderson and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2022-08-23 with total page 593 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On their way to fight in the Mexican-American War, a group of American soldiers are swept away to a strange and deadly alternate Earth in this thrilling new adventure set in the world of the New York Times bestselling Destroyermen series. The United States, 1847. A disparate group of young American soldiers are bound to join General Winfield Scott's campaign against Santa Anna at Veracruz during the Mexican-American War. They never arrive. Or rather . . . they arrive somewhere else. The untried, idealistic soldiers are mostly replacements, really; a handful of infantry, artillery, dragoons, and a few mounted riflemen with no unified command. And they've been shipwrecked on a terrible, different Earth full of monsters and unimaginable enemies. Major Lewis Cayce, late of the 3rd US "Flying" Artillery, must unite these men to face their fears and myriad threats, armed with little more than flintlock muskets, a few pieces of artillery, and a worldview that spiritually and culturally rebels against virtually everything they encounter. It will take extraordinary leadership and a cadre of equally extraordinary men and women to mold frightened troops into an effective force, make friends with other peoples the evil Holy Dominion would eradicate, and reshape their "manifest destiny" into a cause they can all believe in and fight for. For only together will they have any hope of survival.
Download or read book Renaissance Themes written by Sukanta Chaudhuri and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Arun Kumar Das Gupta taught English literature for over 40 years, first at Presidency College, Kolkata, and then at the University of Calcutta. His interpretations of Western literature and thought, particularly of the Renaissance, shaped a whole generation of students. Some of them have produced this volume of essays in tribute to their mentor. Two essays directly address the intellectual milieu of the European Renaissance. Sukanta Chaudhuri examines the unusual merger of modes and registers in Renaissance philosophic discourse, while Niranjan Goswami looks at a particular example of Ramist practice. The other pieces relate to English writers and works, notably Shakespeare and Milton, in a wider perspective of Renaissance concerns and general critical issues. Abhijit Sen analyses the stage and verbal imagery in Macbeth. Supriya Chaudhuri and Paromita Chakraborty take King Lear as their point of departure. Chaudhuri brings out the full conceptual implications of the Dover Cliff scene, while Chakraborty dissects the play’s sexual imagery. Swapan Chakravorty takes in a wide range of dramatic and non-dramatic texts in his survey of reading on the Early Modern stage. Amlan Das Gupta studies the Miltonic simile, specifically in Paradise Lost Book IV. Finally, Malabika Sarkar reads Samson Agonistes in a context of magic and alchemy to draw out some implications deeply relevant at the present time.

Tired of all the killing, she awaits the demon who will overpower her and send her back to heaven. Yet her life lingers on and a dream she can’t remember plagues her thoughts.

The demon must have died. She never would have woken if he hadn’t. That’s how it works. How it’s always worked. So why did he appear in her world the next day? And why is he trying to seduce her? Will he be the fated one to finally steal the life of the strongest dark angel the world has ever known?
