Walter Masen A lead fighter pilot and his best friend walk into a space ship’s bar. If you think you can guess the punchline, you’d be wrong. Because that petite brunette who looks too delicate to defend herself from a couple of pushy thugs? She sends them out on stretchers—and I’m smitten. Lily Uribe is far more than just a pretty face. She is a Scorpion, one of an elite army of enhanced humans who once pried Earth from the iron grip of an alien race aptly named the “Uglies”—and are now regarded with suspicion by the very planet they saved. When we’re both assigned to be part of a mission to check a lush, green planet’s possibilities as a new Earth colony, I’m looking forward to finding to nice beach for an evening stroll with Lily. Until an alien fleet launches a surprise attack, leaving me a POW and Lily MIA. As the alien attacks grow increasingly intense, I’m beginning to wonder if Lily and I will get to have that first date. Or if Earth will ever find another place in the universe to call home. -------- A New Home Far from Earth is the first book in the exciting, funny, romantic adventure in the “Far from Earth” series.

Beyond Earth
Author: Charles Wohlforth
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0804172420
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
We are at the cusp of a golden age in space science, as increasingly more entrepreneurs—Elon Musk, Richard Branson, Jeff Bezos—are seduced by the commercial potential of human access to space. But Beyond Earth does not offer another wide-eyed technology fantasy: instead, it is grounded not only in the human capacity for invention and the appeal of adventure, but also in the bureaucratic, political, and scientific realities that present obstacles to space travel—realities that have hampered NASA's efforts ever since the Challenger disaster. In Beyond Earth, the authors offer groundbreaking research and argue persuasively that not Mars, but Titan—a moon of Saturn with a nitrogen atmosphere, a weather cycle, and an inexhaustible supply of cheap energy—offers the most realistic, and thrilling, prospect of life without support from Earth.

Publisher: Partridge Publishing
ISBN: 1482859009
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
There is in each one of us a treasure trove of memories. Often times, in the rigmarole of daily life we tend to forget these special moments. We forget what it was like to feel, wonder, to be grateful or to experience love. Vernal Strokes lets you sit back as Latha Prem Sakhya walks you through those moments once again. As you retrospect with the poet you will once again feel nature, experience love, face tribulations and re-affirm your whole being. The reader will be forced to take a minute to look back at the finer details in his/her life. As you see life through Lathas eyes you see a life lived in love with nature, with her family and with her spouse. But the key takeaway here is the reminder of how closely intertwined man was with nature. The older generations can reminisce, the younger ones can have glimpse of what they are missing. But the ardent reader will be forced to see the world with a fresh pair of eyes, bereft of the walls that civilization has imposed on us all the true, yet utopian idea of man, beast and nature as one whole family. In conclusion, this is a generous, kind and heartwarming collection of poems that one can turn to each time you feel life is just going on. It will take you through an array of experiences and myriad of emotions that can bring back the MAGIC that God expects and man deserves to have in ones life. Reny M John

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
In recent years, more and more Christians have come to appreciate the Bible's teaching that the ultimate blessed hope for the believer is not an otherworldly heaven; instead, it is full-bodied participation in a new heaven and a new earth brought into fullness through the coming of God's kingdom. Drawing on the full sweep of the biblical narrative, J. Richard Middleton unpacks key Old Testament and New Testament texts to make a case for the new earth as the appropriate Christian hope.

The Spiritual Meaning of the Sixties
Author: Tobias Churton
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1620557126
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 920
Book Description
Unveils the spiritual meaning that fueled the artistic, political, and social revolutions of the 1960s • Investigates the spiritual principles that informed everything from the civil rights and anti-war movements, to the hippies’ rejection of materialist culture, to the rise of feminism, gay rights, and environmentalism • Reveals how medieval troubadours, Gnosticism, Renaissance hermetic magic, and the occult doctrines of Aleister Crowley helped shape the psychedelic Sixties • Offers in-depth analysis of many of the era’s most famous books, films, and music No decade in modern history has generated more controversy and divisiveness than the tumultuous 1960s. For some, the ‘60s were an era of free love, drugs, and social revolution. For others, the Sixties were an ungodly rejection of all that was good and holy. Embarking on a profound search for the spiritual meaning behind the massive social upheavals of the 1960s, Tobias Churton turns a kaleidoscopic lens on religious and esoteric history, industry, science, philosophy, art, and social revolution to identify the meaning behind all these diverse movements. Engaging with views of mainstream historians, some of whom write off this pivotal decade as heralding an overall decline in moral values and respect for tradition, Churton examines the intricate network of spiritual forces at play in the era. He reveals spiritual principles that united the free love movement, the civil rights and anti-war movements, the hippies’ rejection of materialist culture, and the eventual rise of feminism, gay rights, and environmentalism. He traces influences from medieval troubadours, Gnosticism, Hindu philosophy, Renaissance hermetic magic, and the occult doctrines of Aleister Crowley. He also examines the psychedelic revolution, the genesis of popular interest in UFOs, and the psychological consequences of the Bomb and the assassinations of the Kennedys and Martin Luther King. In addition, Churton investigates the huge shifts in consciousness reflected in the movies, music, art, and literature of the era--from Frank Sinatra to the Beatles, from I Love Lucy to Star Trek, from John Wayne to Midnight Cowboy--much of which still resonates with the youth of today. Taking the reader on a long strange trip from crew-cuts and Bermuda shorts to Hair and Woodstock, from liquor to psychedelics, from uncool to cool, and from matter to Soul, Churton shows how the spiritual values of the Sixties are now reemerging, with an astonishing influx of spiritual light, to once again awaken us.
