Pages : 228
Book Description
Warfare...hell...demons..."I'm just trying to drive my kids to school and stay on top of the laundry. " "What does any of that have to do with me?" You've heard plenty of talk about evil. You've heard about binding Satan and breaking strongholds and calling demons by name. You've heard you should claim your victory in Christ...but you're not really sure how to do that. This isn't a book about evil. With passion and strength, Mary DeMuth brings balance and insight to the often murky realm of spiritual warfare. As you embrace the abundant life to which God calls his daughters, she'll tell you why your voice matters for eternity. And on the darkest days, you'll know that spiritual warfare is about bowing before the Creator, not cowering before the devil. It's about finding freedom and beauty in the midst of devastation. It's about the power of God to heal our hearts, to move mountains, to intercede when we're weary. It's about crucifixion and a defiant, glorious resurrection. It's about truth. It's about power. Join Mary in the beautiful battle, and be renewed on the journey.

Book Description
They had been married for three years, and they had also acted for three years.Smiling in front of others was akin to walking a strange road in front of others.She was just his facade, a doll he controlled.He spent every night with his sleeping woman. What she had was only the chilly moonlight and the spacious bed."I want a divorce!"At the public dinner party, she removed her disguise and announced her decision.He leaned close to her ear and growled fiercely, "Yuanzhi Rou, do you want to die?"She smiled. "Yes, I do."The heartache spread bit by bit, looking at the man in front of her who was deeply in love with her."Even if I die, I can't lose my face!" There was no emotion in his cold voice."Want a divorce? If you can last a month, I'll sign it. "A month of torture, what had truly worn away was the remaining love in her heart.Taking what belonged to him, he pushed open the door and performed with the woman. The woman's hair spread out like seaweed on the bed that once belonged to her.As someone who had just left home, she had nothing to offer. As someone who lived like a prince, she had no choice but to lower her head and work at a flower shop.Twenty days later, at his wedding, with his arm around the beautiful bride and her face smeared with ridiculous mud, he handed a bouquet of bride flowers to the beautiful woman.Did love exist? Perhaps he had already forgotten how to hate!He looked at the woman walking out of the auditorium and felt a twinge in his heart ...

Norse Mythology: The Illustrated Edition
Author: Neil Gaiman
Publisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 1324089407
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
The #1 New York Times bestseller—a “gripping, suspenseful” (Washington Post) retelling of Norse myths—now with spectacular illustrations. In this dazzling, illustrated edition of the instant classic that has sold more than a million copies, award-winning illustrator Levi Pinfold brings Neil Gaiman’s bravura rendition of the Norse gods and their world to life. Bursting off the page with breathtaking, full-color art are tales of fierce battles with giants, storied quests for knowledge, and the gods in Asgard: Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin’s son, incredibly strong, yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki—son of a giant—blood brother to Odin and a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator. Gaiman fashions these primeval stories into a novelistic arc that takes us from the genesis of the legendary nine worlds to Ragnorak, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time. Through his epic storytelling and Pinfold’s enthralling images, these gods emerge with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to duping others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions, breathing vivid life into these long-ago myths. “Who else but Neil Gaiman could become an accomplice of the gods, using the sorcery of words to make their stories new?” —Maria Tatar, translator and editor of The Annotated Brothers Grimm “Gaiman brings rakish mischief and severe glamour to the Norse canon.” —The New Yorker “Remarkable. . . . Gaiman has provided an enchanting contemporary interpretation of the Viking ethos.” —Lisa L. Hannett, Atlantic “A lively, funny and very human rendition of Thor the thunder god, his father Odin and the dark-hearted trickster Loki (plus countless other gods and monsters).” —Petra Mayer, NP

Book Description
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author and “one of the modern masters of fantasy writing,” (Huffington Post) a dazzling, witty telling of the Norse myths. "A lively, funny, and very human rendition of Thor the thunder god, his father Odin, and the dark-hearted trickster Loki (plus countless other gods and monsters)." — Petra Mayer, NPR Neil Gaiman, long inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction, presents a bravura rendition of the Norse gods and their world from their origin though their upheaval in Ragnarok. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman stays true to the myths in envisioning the major Norse pantheon: Odin, the highest of the high, wise, daring, and cunning; Thor, Odin’s son, incredibly strong yet not the wisest of gods; and Loki—son of a giant—blood brother to Odin and a trickster and unsurpassable manipulator. Gaiman fashions these primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds and delves into the exploits of deities, dwarfs, and giants. Through Gaiman’s deft and witty prose, these gods emerge with their fiercely competitive natures, their susceptibility to being duped and to duping others, and their tendency to let passion ignite their actions, making these long-ago myths breathe pungent life again.
