Download or read book God s Mimic written by Carol Ferguson and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Mommy, the angels are coming for me," toddler Hazel Page cried out as she drifted between life and death, the result of a ruptured appendix. Her parents prayed fervently. "Lord, if you have a plan for Hazel's life, please spare her." "Mommy, the angels have gone away to heaven again." God did have a plan for her life and this was only the first of several encounters Hazel would have with angels throughout her life. Born and raised in Saskatchewan, Hazel attended Saskatoon Bible College and trained as a midwife at Bethany Hospital in Saskatoon. While attending the Summer Institute of Linguistics sponsored by Wycliffe Bible Translators it was revealed to Hazel that she could mimic anything she heard and write it down phonetically. She was God's Mimic. Yes, she did translation work but she also pulled teeth, delivered babies, set broken legs and dug graves. Hazel's missionary career took her to Mexico with Wycliffe, then China and the Philippines with China Inland Mission/Overseas Missionary Fellowship. For many years her home was a thatched hut in a jungle village. Her goal in life was to introduce people to Christ and then put God's Word in their hands so they would know His will. This is the story of a unique woman, sold out to God.

Download or read book The Discord of Gods written by Jenn Lyons and published by Tor Books. This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page 746 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Discord of Gods marks the epic conclusion to Jenn Lyons's Chorus of Dragons series, closing out the saga that began with The Ruin of Kings, for fans of Brandon Sanderson and Patrick Rothfuss. THEIR CONFLICT COULD END THEM ALL. Relos Var's final plans to enslave the universe are on the cusp of fruition. He believes there's only one being in existence that might be able to stop him: the demon Xaltorath. As these two masterminds circle each other, neither is paying attention to the third player on the board, Kihrin. Unfortunately, keeping himself classified in the 'pawn' category means Kihrin must pretend to be everything the prophecies threatened he'd become: the destroyer of all, the sun eater, a mindless, remorseless plague upon the land. It also means finding an excuse to not destroy the people he loves (or any of the remaining Immortals) without arousing suspicion. Kihrin's goals are complicated by the fact that not all of his 'act' is one. His intentions may be sincere, but he's still being forced to grapple with the aftereffects of the corrupted magic ritual that twisted both him and the dragons. Worse, he's now tied to a body that is the literal avatar of a star — a form that is becoming increasingly, catastrophically unstable. All of which means he's running out of time. After all, some stars fade — but others explode. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Download or read book St Augustine s City of God 1 De citate dei written by Apostle Arne Horn and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-10-03 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preface, explaining his design in undertaking this work. The glorious city of God is my theme in this work, which you, my dearest son Marcellinus, suggested, and which is due to you by my promise. I have undertaken its defence against those who prefer their own gods to the Founder of this city, a city surpassingly glorious, whether we view it as it still lives by faith in this fleeting course of time, and sojourns as a stranger in the midst of the ungodly, or as it shall dwell in the fixed stability of its eternal seat, which it now with patience waits for, expecting until "righteousness shall return unto judgment," and it obtain, by virtue of its excellence, final victory and perfect peace. A great work this, and an arduous; but God is my helper. For I am aware what ability is requisite to persuade the proud how great is the virtue of humility, which raises us, not by a quite human arrogance, but by a divine grace, above all earthly dignities that totter on this shifting scene.

Download or read book Out of the Garden written by Christina Buchmann and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2012-06-13 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "By turns witty, erudite, probingly serious and sparklingly irreverent, these essays refresh our readings of the Bible, and deepen our vision of foundational feminist figures. A wonderfully thought-provoking and readable collection." EVA HOFFMAN Author of EXIT INTO HISTORY This is the first collection of essays in which women read and respond to the Bible out of pleasure and curiosity--reclaiming the Bible for women and showing readers that the Bible is a source we can return to again and again. Drawing on their own epxeriences and interests, Louise Erdrich, Cynthia Ozick, Fay Weldon, Phyllis Trible, Rebecca Goldstein, June Jordan, Ursula Le Guin, and twenty-one other writers boldly imaginatively--and sometimes reproachfully--address the Old Testament stories, characters, and poetry that mean the most to them. As with all great works of literature, it is a book that changes as we change, a garden in its own right whose pleasures are there for the taking, as are its surprises and thorny byways.

He communicates that to be successful in your Christian walk, you need to know how to talk to God through prayer. The way you talk to God determines how He responds to you and how much He blesses you. In this insightful book, Bishop Sykes discusses the importance of prayer and provides insight on how to talk to God to receive godly results. He delivers the message that your prayers and God’s power will make a difference in your life and in the world.

Download or read book Paradoxes of Stasis written by Tatjana Gajic and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paradoxes of Stasis examines the literary and intellectual production of the Francoist period by focusing on Spanish writers following the Spanish Civil War: the regime's supporters and its opponents, the victors and the vanquished. Concentrating on the tropes of immobility and movement, Tatjana Gaji? analyzes the internal politics of the Francoist regime and concurrent cultural manifestations within a broad theoretical and historical framework in light of the Greek notion of stasis and its contemporary interpretations. In Paradoxes of Stasis, Gaji? argues that the combination of Francoism's long duration and the uncertainty surrounding its ending generated an undercurrent of restlessness in the regime's politics and culture. Engaging with a variety of genres--legal treatises, poetry, novels, essays, and memoir--Gaji? examines the different responses to the underlying tensions of the Francoist era in the context of the regime's attempts at reform and consolidation and in relation to oppositional writers' critiques of Francoism's endurance. By elucidating different manifestations of stasis in the politics, literature, and thought of the Francoist period, Paradoxes of Stasis reveals the contradictions of the era and offers new critical tools for understanding their relevance.
