Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An intricate magic system, a grimly humorous Black heroine, AND a heart-thumping romance? This book leaves nothing wanting." - Jordan Ifueko, New York Times bestselling author of Raybearer Andromeda is a debtera—an exorcist hired to cleanse households of the Evil Eye. She would be hired, that is, if her mentor hadn’t thrown her out before she could earn her license. Now her only hope of steady work is to find a Patron—a rich, well-connected individual who will vouch for her abilities. When a handsome young heir named Magnus Rorschach reaches out to hire her, she takes the job without question. Never mind that he’s rude and demanding and eccentric, that the contract comes with a number of outlandish rules... and that almost a dozen debtera had quit before her. If Andromeda wants to earn a living, she has no choice. But she quickly realizes this is a job like no other, with horrifying manifestations at every turn, and that Magnus is hiding far more than she has been trained for. Death is the most likely outcome if she stays, the reason every debtera before her quit. But leaving Magnus to live out his curse alone isn’t an option because—heaven help her—she’s fallen for him. Stunningly romantic, Lauren Blackwood's heartstopping debut, Within These Wicked Walls, ushers in an exciting new fantasy voice. "Fierce, eerie and heartfelt... a romantic and spine-chilling reimagining of a classic. I loved every creepy, swoon-worthy moment of it." - Laura E. Weymouth, author of The Light Between Worlds

Download or read book Daily Wisdom Vitamins written by Lon Edwin Hicks and published by Xulon Press. This book was released on 2008-03 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decisions, decisions, decisions. Since our personal decision-making does have consequences, we all struggle making good decisions. In reality, what we believe affects every area of our actions and lifestyle, including our decision-making process. For that reason the Bible must be the centerpiece for Christian decision-making! In our ministry, we have observed many good Christian people struggle with life due to their poor decisions. You don't have to live a life of regrets if you will just apply God's Word to your daily decision processes. The wise King Solomon recognized this problem in his own life. Therefore, early in life he sought to learn wisdom and understanding with his whole heart. Later in life, as he watched his own children grow he became burdened with their lack of wisdom. God used this burden to inspire King Solomon to write the book of Proverbs for his children's benefit. We can profit greatly if we understand and give heed to these same proverbs. After earning his BA degree from Tennessee Temple College, he furthered his training and earned a BD degree from Temple Baptist Theological Seminary in 1972. While recovering from heart surgery in 1991, he completed the requirements and received his PhD. in Biblical Studies from Emmanuel Baptist University. He was ordained at Canton Baptist Temple of Canton, Ohio in August 1972. He began his first pastorate at Lakeshore Baptist Church of Mentor, Ohio. Over the next 36 years he pastored churches in Ohio, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, and Indiana. Since November of 1993, he has been the senior Pastor of Northwest Baptist Church of Indianapolis, Indiana. He and his wife Sue have four grown children.
Download or read book Lost Magik written by C. L. Vincent and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2009-02 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C.L. Vincent lives in the forests of northern Minnesota. Although self-described as a recluse constantly surrounded by his family, Vincent has traveled extensively throughout the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and New Zealand. His wealth of knowledge and experience in both ancient and contemporary cultures creates in the Lost Magik trilogy a fantasy world before recorded history. With the creative imagination of cinema and a literary style unique in the world of fantasy authors, Vincent establishes in his trilogy an insightful contribution to the origin of human behavior which develops from the intersecting shadows of light and dark, good and evil. In his first venture into the publishing world with Lost Magik, Vincent purposely steps out of the defined and popularly followed boundaries of the fantasy genre. Like the forests in which he lives, Vincent takes the reader through an adventure that is at first dense and slow going. Clearings appear suddenly, but the ensuing tangle of underbrush can trip up a reader who is unexpectedly looking for a cookie-cutter style typical of fantasy series. When asked for an extensive interview on the release of Lost Magik, Vincent declined but offered this explanation: "When a work of art speaks to me, in that moment, the last thing I want is for the artist to stand next to me and tell me who he is and why he painted what he did." When pushed to offer a few more details about himself, Vincent reluctantly complied: "I both fish a lot and fix motorcycles. My greatest success in life is to earn my living without a career. My family and friends are not at all surprised by the Lost Magik trilogy, but they are surprised to find in all of my characters so little of them and so much of me. It is not easy to live in the real world, where I want everything to be all about me. Ah, but in a fantasy world, it is my stage where I get to play every role." When asked why he did not publish a nonfictional account of the physical and cultural anthropology for any one of many ancient civilizations, he laughed and gave a wizardly wink as he answered, "Maybe I did." The other books that continue the story: Invisible Thread - Where the Mountains Meet the Sea
Download or read book Spinning Wheels written by Frank Buxton and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2015-03-14 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story opens in the early nineteen sixties, at a fictional isolated Catholic Convent somewhere in North Wales. As the story gently unfolds, the main characters honestly start to consider the foundations, and tribal marking of organised religion, especially of their own. (Devout Christians will find this book to be a very challenging read.) Calmly they each discard their belief that Christ was the only Son of God. Christ's message however; 'love Thy neighbour as Thyself' is happily acknowledged as the only way of ensuring the continuing survival of the Human Race. Weaving around this main theme are several honest, if rather robust, love stories. At appropriate points, the debilitating effect of loneliness is sympathetically portrayed, and arguments against committing suicide are also presented. Kirkus reviews: - An engaging tale. The story is strong and the erotica is nicely balanced by the humanity of the characters

Download or read book Those Practical Proverbs written by David Balsley and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2018-12-13 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those Practical Proverbs is a verse-by-verse commentary on the book of Proverbs from a pastor’s perspective. It begins with an exploration of the authorship of Proverbs—most of which was written by King Solomon, with brief sections by Agur, the son of Jakeh, and the words of King Lemuel (from an oracle which his mother taught him). It proceeds to an explanation of the structure of Hebrew poetry, a list of some of the topics addressed in the book, and an outline of the book. The opening chapters of Proverbs (1–9) consist of longer “wisdom poems” on a variety of significant subjects. Most of the chapters of Proverbs consist of single-verse observations concerning many of life’s practical concerns (with occasional multiverse entries). The book concludes with the entries of Agur and King Lemuel and, finally, the classic alphabetic acrostic poem regarding the excellent wife. Because the book focuses largely on the wisdom and understanding, which find their origin in the fear of the Lord, it is among the most life-enriching books ever written. It is extremely important for anyone who longs for practical guidance in the many issues of life.
