Download or read book The Book of Darryl written by The Goggles and published by MCD. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Darryl’s friendless. Bored out of his skull. It’s the middle of summer, in the middle of the desert, in the middle of a fly-blown suburb of Roman-occupied Nazareth. Tough times for a sixteen-year-old boy in any era, never mind two millennia ago, when the only thing to look forward to is the next sandstorm, and you’re spending every waking moment worrying that the spots on your forehead are for sure signs of leprosy. But everything changes when Darryl meets his new refugee neighbor, Jay, who just so happens to be the messiah before he was *the Messiah.* Jay brings good news to Darry’s life and soaring, otherworldly vocals to his band with fellow teen Nazarenes Mary and Jude. Together, they help each other survive life in the year 16 AD—and miraculously, they invent a beguiling new musical form that they call METAL, one of many epic revelations in this heretofore unheralded early chapter in the greatest story ever told. This special edition of The Book of Darryl is illuminated by world-famous GIF artist Scorpion Dagger, with images that come to animated life—accompanied by a splendorous heavy metal score—through augmented reality, in a lost gospel here resurrected by leading Darryl scholars and storytelling pioneers Matt Bate and the Goggles.

Book excerpt: Darryl Cook is a man who seems to have everything: a quiet home in Western Oregon, a beautiful wife, and a lot of friends to fuck her while he watches. But as he explores the cuckolding lifestyle, he finds himself tugging at threads that threaten to unravel his marriage, his town, and himself.

Download or read book Legion written by Steven Carlton and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2000-12-20 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if magic was real? Not the magic of tribal shaman, Indian mystics, Wiccan witches, nor even the legerdemain of telephone psychics, but real honest-to-goodness magic. The Christian Bible is full of references to real magic, from Moses to a pantheon of Angels and demons, Powers which walk the Earth and skulk in shadows, the mythos of the supernatural. And demons. The Biblical demon, the Legion, was only banished, its diabolical power only diminished, when it was confronted with the Son of God. What if it came back? Returning to Earth after almost 2000 years, the demon has a mission: to open a gateway to Hell, shift the infernal balance of power, and trigger an Armageddon which makes Revelations pale in comparison. Standing against the demon is an ancient order of sorcerers and warriors, descended from the Angels themselves. But the demon, able to possess more than a thousand people simultaneously, may prove too powerful for even them, and the world's fate will rest on the shoulders of a seventeen year old girl warrior-in-training, and the mysterious powers of her equally enigmatic boyfriend.
Download or read book The Basics of Bible Prophecy written by David Reagan and published by Lamb & Lion Ministries. This book was released on 2020-07-22 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bible prophecy can be a playground for fanatics or it can be green pastures for disciples. In this book, the authors show how prophecy can motivate people to holiness, inspire them to evangelism and provide them with hope. In the process, they supply answers to many intriguing questions about prophecy like the following: How should Bible prophecy be interpreted symbolically or literally? Why are there so many end-time viewpoints, and what are they? Have all Old Testament prophecies been fulfilled? How does Bible prophecy confirm the Bible as the Word of God and Jesus as God in the flesh? What happens after death? Will Heaven be an ethereal, spiritual existence, or will it be a tangible one in new perfected bodies on a new earth? What are the signs of the times, and do they indicate that we are living in the season of the Lord's return? Is the Rapture of the Church a biblical concept, and, if so, when is it most likely to happen? Is Jesus going to return to this earth to reign for a thousand years, or is His reign going on now from Heaven? Why does end-time prophecy focus on the Jewish people and the nation of Israel? What is the most likely sequence of end-time events? The 24 lessons in this book are presented in a down-to-earth, easy-to-understand language, and every point is substantiated with Scripture references. The book is designed for both individual and group study.
