Book Description
Welcome to the far-future City, a post-scarcity Utopia with no disease, no war, and no want. The people worship AIs as gods through ritualized sex, and in return, the gods provide anything anyone could ever want from Providers in every room. But in this City, the gods demand a price for their benevolence. They make use of those who worship them, for in a place with no scarcity and no money, the only thing you have to bargain with is your body. Three very different women embark on three separate paths to become the Sacrifice to, and Avatar of, their gods. The lives of each of these women will be forever altered by their experiences.

Book Description
Welcome to the City. In this place of peace and plenty, with no disease, no suffering, and no want, people find meaning in service to their gods. They know the gods were created by humans, of course. But the gods protect and provide for the people, so why wouldn't the people serve the gods? In a Utopian society, what better way to express service than through pleasure and faith? For Kheema and her seven fellow Potentials, that means entering the temple of the Sun God to undergo months of training and practice to determine which of them will be chosen as Sacrifice. On the day of the summer Solstice, the one chosen as Sacrifice must recite the entire litany from atop the temple, while enduring nonstop forced orgasms from dawn 'til dusk. For Terlyn, service means becoming part of the Garden, bound naked and asleep while worshippers help themselves to her body. Terlyn wakes in ecstasy over and over, only to fall asleep again. The experience changes her, and her relationship with her friend and lover Donvin, who visits her while she is part of the Garden. Ashi's service to the god known as the Wild entails competing with other worshippers in a forest that appears overnight to demonstrate her resilience and will, so that she might become part of a ritual involving an altar, a long row of cages, and the complete abandonment of the self. The three stories brush against each other, revealing the heart of the City, as the people of the City serve, or ask for enlightenment from, multiple gods at once.

Book Description
It’s obvious that we are living in an exceptional time. Exceptional times require exceptional measures. As in Psalm 2, there is an effort by world rulers to dethrone God and eradicate from society, any references to Christ. Consequently, a war has been declared against Christ’s Church, which at this point in history is in a lethargic state. A defiant departure from God and a slow purge of His helpful boundaries has led to emptiness of souls, moral decadence, arrogance, division, confusion... The Sovereign God is, however, going to respond to the seemingly insurmountable challenges we face in a unique way. God is coming down through what we know as a revival and an awakening to heal the wounded world, the book states. This exceptional divine intervention is what The Coming Deluge of His Glory is about. It chronicles the author’s fascinating and unusual history with God from a voodoo-saturated village in Benin, West Africa to the United-States. A unique journey that has given birth to a unique divine perspective. This book is a compelling vision of a glorious season ahead. “Heaven is ready to touch the Earth. God is coming down like an overwhelming flood to make His purpose established on Earth.” Nestor said. He describes in the book the descriptive visions and insights the Holy Spirit instilled in him about the so-awaited revival and awakening. The Coming Deluge of His Glory will stir up faith, hope, and love in believers through captivating revelations and Nestor’s knowledge of God’s agenda for His kingdom. It’s a proclamation of the coming of God’s army, a lion generation of Christians whose mission is to conquer, rule, and reign with a royal authority and power. It will set your heart on fire and help you explore the intensity of the Father’s sublime love.

Book Description
This is the first book to examine the connections between diaspora - the movement, whether forced or voluntary, of a nation or group of people from one homeland to another - and its representations in visual culture. Two foundational articles by Stuart Hall and the painter R.B. Kitaj provide points of departure for an exploration of the meanings of diaspora for cultural identity and artistic practice. A distinguished group of contributors, who include Alan Sinfield, Irit Rogoff, and Eunice Lipton, address the rich complexity of diasporic cultures and art, but with a focus on the visual culture of the Jewish and African diasporas. Individual articles address the Jewish diaspora and visual culture from the 19th century to the present, and work by African American and Afro-Brazilian artists.

Book Description
Are you floundering in your walk with God? Does it feel like your prayers never accomplish anything? Are you struggling to make an impact in the lives of those around you? Are you desperate for spiritual renewal? One of the reasons many believers struggle in their Christian walk is because they don't know how to pray biblically. Through a clear, insightful, and practical exposition of Scripture, Road to Renewal takes the reader though seven prayers in the Bible that, when rightly understood and properly prayed, can help bring about spiritual renewal.
