Through the Eyes of a Lion
Author: Levi Lusko
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
ISBN: 0718032233
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
What will you do when the unthinkable happens? Pastor Levi Lusko never expected that five days before Christmas, his five-year-old daughter Lenya would suddenly go to heaven after an asthma attack. Learn the eye-opening truth of the power of hope in a world that is often filled with pain, suffering, and loss. Her parents called her Lenya Lion because of her ferocious personality and hair that had been wild and mane-like since birth, but after her sudden loss, Pastor Levi Lusko and his wife Jennie had to figure out how to walk out of an emergency room without their daughter. In this moving memoir, Levi shares the power of hope in a world often visited by pain, suffering, and loss, urging you to view life as an adventure and encourages you to make an eternal impact. More a manifesto for high-octane living than a manual for grieving, Through the Eyes of a Lion will help you turn your journey into a "roar story" by guiding you to: Let God turn your pain into a microphone Look past what you can see with the naked eye Understand how a good God can allow bad things Survive Saturday—the space between promise and fulfillment Levi has walked through the intense, raw periods that come with grieving. Whether you're currently facing adversity or want to prepare yourself for inevitable hardship, it's time to look at the adventure of your life through Jesus' eyes—the eyes of a Lion.

A Very Unordinary Matter

Publisher: AuthorHouse

Category : Fiction

Pages : 383
Book Description
When Charles Darwin finally completed his life’s greatest work, On the Origin of Species, he waited twenty-three years to publish it. That's roughly the life expectancy of a man in the fourteenth century, for scale. It took a mediaeval lifetime to contemplate whether or not the disruption to mankind’s way of life was truly worth it. When Leonidas Archibald Agglesfield found the missing 95 per cent of the universe, however, he neglected to apply the same degree of contemplation. From Socrates to Descartes, perhaps the question that has pestered mankind the most is: What makes us human? Are we human because we think or because we feel? Are we humans made in the image of the one true God? Or have we fashioned God in our image to imbue ourselves with the power to determine our own fate and immortality? What Leonidas found... was not what he had bargained for. And as a Doctor of Dark Matter, his findings did not disappoint. God would be joining the black rhino on the endangered species list. And while that was precisely what Leonidas Archibald Agglesfield had thought he wanted... he had no idea of the ramifications. There are forces that we might have once thought to be outside of our control. But perhaps we're capable of more than we think. And sometimes what we need the most... has a way of finding us instead.

ISBN:
Category : Fiction

Pages : 2133
Book Description
The In the Shadow of the Black Sun: The Complete Trilogy collects the following books in one ebook file: Book 1: A Dream of Storms Book 2: Shards of S'Darin Book 3: Mournenhile All 3 books are included in your purchase. Over 1100 pages of Dark Epic Fantasy from author William Kenney, often compared to the works of J.R.R. Tolkien and Terry Brooks, praised for its detail in character and world-building. Step into a world of Elves, Trolls and mysterious winged Talon. Stand against the attacking horde of Pith as the cold darkness of Mournenhile covers the land. The description of A Dream of Storms: Twelve years ago, The Battle of the Black Sun had left Hagan scarred inside. The scent of blood and the incessant ring of steel were etched in his mind. Though his sword had turned the tides, he had sworn off war and become a recluse, retiring to the hills above his hometown of Lauden and turning to drink. He had hoped to be forgotten. The world would not let him forget the oath that he had sworn in his youth, however, and an honorable Stone Troll named Gorin was sent to convince Hagan to honor it. Councilcrane, the ruling body of mages, had summoned him to the city of Harquinn and Hagan knew that the threat of war from across The Edge must have returned. Gorin brought ill tidings. Autumn had never come to Elfwhere, but the leaves had begun to fall, foretelling the return of the dark lord Mournenhile, thought destroyed all those years ago. Like an ungodly pairing of bat and wolf, Mournenhile's army of Pith have swarmed into the Elven forest bent on their utter destruction. Reluctantly, Hagan must once more step into the horrors of war and offer his blade to the cause. Joined by his inexperienced younger brother, D'Pharin and a small group of new companions (Vasparian, an Elf that served with Hagan under the Black Sun, Windenn, the Woodwarden and Shindire, the haughty Elf from across The Sleeping Sea) he sets off for the ancient city of Harquinn with a heavy heart. What will the mages ask of him this time? Memories of atrocities committed in the name of Harquinn flooded back into his mind. Can he become the hero that he once was, redeeming himself and driving back the horrific creatures within the armies of Mournenhile? Here begins your tale.
