Book Description
This collection juxtaposes text from Google Search autocomplete with the intimate language of prayer. Corporate jargon coexists with the incantatory and ancient ghazal form. Ahmed’s second book of poetry explores the terrain of loss—of a beloved family member, of human dignity and potential, of the earth as it stands, of hope. Her poems weave mourning with the erratic process of healing, skepticism with an unsteady attempt to regain faith. With poems that are by turns elegiac, biting, and tender, Bring Now the Angels conveys a desire to move toward transformation and rebirth, even among seemingly insurmountable obstacles: chronic disease, corporate greed, environmental harm, and a general atmosphere of anxiety and violence. UNDERGROUND …They are turning their locks to paint their faces and their daughters’ faces. They look on as the girls regard their eyes in mirrors, in the long cracked mirror of history, and war. They paint themselves into existence inside the shuttered rooms of their hearts, where freedom still bristles…

Book Description
Explores the relationship between people and angels, through the eyes of the early church. Heaven is closer than we realize. Its boundaries overlap our own, and angels move in and out of our porous present, this moment that seems to us so solid and concrete. If that reality seems dim to us now, it beamed for the early Christians. Through their writings, sermons, songs, and art, the ancient faithful confessed a powerful and vivid belief that angels help carry us on our journey to God. Rooted in the Scripture and following this ancient understanding, Lifted by Angels reveals: the role that angels play in the lives of people and in God’s plan of salvation the different ranks and functions of angels how Satan and his demons fell from grace and plagued humans the functions of guardian angels and how God assigns them to fit our personal needs how guardian angels help us resist evil, temptation, and the devil the way angels join with us in our prayers, even adding their own to ours the service angels provide in worship Featuring examples of angels in ancient icons and frescoes and supported by extensive research on the early church and its pastors, poets, theologians, and artists, Lifted by Angels answers universal curiosity about angels and the unseen world, leaving readers inspired and hopeful about the nearness of God.

Book Description
The chase was over. In April 1969, nineteen-year-old Jerry Shepherd stares in his rearview mirror at the two policemen approaching his car. He wants to run, make his escape, perhaps his final escape from life. Then he curls his fingers around the small Bible in his back pocket as the words Peace be still whisper through his head. He holds to those words as he steps from the car to handcuffed and arrested. Angels at the Crossroads is the compelling true story of Shepherd's amazing journey from wrongdoing to redemption. Convicted of a crime he can hardly believe he could have committed, Shepherd faces life in prison and fears not only that he won't survive behind bars, but also that he has stepped beyond the hope of prayer or forgiveness. His parents say no as they cover him with fervent prayers, but Shepherd must find his own way through the jungle of prison life to the people - earth angels - who can help him discover God's love knows no limit. On this pilgrimage to self-acceptance, Shepherd learns to forgive the past and completely and unconditionally love again. If you face a crossroads in your life, Shepherd's inspirational journey may help lead you down a new pathway to a life filled with compassion and love. Visit author Ann H.

They are the insightful inner voice that tells us to keep trying, the unexpected phone call from a friend that gives us hope, and the ray of light that suddenly appears to brighten our way.

Book Description
This book is an accumulation of information from courses taken while attending Rhema Bible Training Center, Victory World Mission, and by the divine revelation from the Holy Spirit. Scriptures used are from the NKJV, unless noted. I have shared the revelation I believe to be important that will ensure we live a victorious life and allow angels to have charge over us. It is important that we understand the correct biblical doctrine concerning angels, their assignments, and how they are designed to operate. God created angels before all His other creations. He created angels to help each of us and to carry out His divine plan for all His future creations. Angels are here to minister to us, to protect us, and to work on our behalf. You will learn in this book angels are specific in their assignments. They have names, different ranks, and classifications. You will also learn that angels can and do play a part performing healings. They also comfort us. My focus for this book is to show there are angels among us and how we can work with them. Here are a few subjects that will be discussed with Bible scriptures: “Angels, Man, and Jesus,” “Fallen Angels/Demons,” “Spiritual Warfare,” “Can a Christian have a demon,” and “Bible Scriptures Concerning Angels.” I believe this book will help you understand angels, where they come from, and how they operate. It will teach you to expect angels to work in your life on a daily basis.
