Book Description
Within the pages of the Holy Bible, the Lord God Almighty used fire in powerful ways to deliver His message. His authority became apparent when He brought or sent fire down. A few excellent illustrations include Elijah and the prophets of Baal, the three young men in the fiery furnace, Sodom and Gomorrah, and Moses at the burning bush and the tongues of fire on the day of Pentecost. Consider also our largest visual source of fire and heat. The solar sun eclipses and blood moons are often considered as key events or signs in God's Word. Flames entered my apartment in 1992 and left behind four distinct burned images with sealed messages from the eternal consuming fire. The amazing images in my bedroom later told the story of my heart attack. The Holy Spirit unlocked these images by His Word through time. The Cokeville miracle story also has a detailed fire image that was burned into the wall. Its message had been well hidden until now. Learn the interpretations for these miraculous images and understand that the same Creator who made these images will be returning someday with His fire vision to judge all things. The single most important and unanswered question for many people today remains a mystery. Ask yourself, "How will the King of kings see me?"

Jean Genet
Author: Stephen Barber
Publisher: Reaktion Books
ISBN: 1861895933
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 164
Book Description
An engaging and challenging introduction to Jean Genet, this concise biography of the French writer and his work cuts directly to the intersection of thought and life that was essential to Genet's creativity. Arguing that Genet's life was an extraordinary spectacle in which the themes of his most revolutionary works were played out, Stephen Barber gives both the work and its singular inspiration in Genet's life their full due. Abandoned, arrested, and repeatedly incarcerated, Genet, who died in 1986, led a life that could best be described as a tour of the underworld of the twentieth century. Similarly, Genet's work is recognized by its nearly obsessive and often savage treatment of certain recurring themes. Sex, desire, death, oppression, domination-these ideas, central to Genet's artistic project, can be seen as preoccupations that arose directly from the artist's travels, imprisonments, sexual and emotional relationships, and political engagements and protests. This trenchant volume focuses directly on the moments in Genet's life in which those preoccupations are vividly projected in his novels, theater works, and film projects. Genet's works have been hugely influential for a vast array of writers, filmmakers, choreographers, and directors, especially at moments of social crisis; thus Genet's life is not only at the root of his own work but also that of many important artists of the twentieth century. With its frank and illuminating introduction by Edmund White, Jean Genet gives readers access to this brilliant and brutal mind.

From Goodwill to Grunge
Author: Jennifer Le Zotte
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469631911
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 343
Book Description
In this surprising new look at how clothing, style, and commerce came together to change American culture, Jennifer Le Zotte examines how secondhand goods sold at thrift stores, flea markets, and garage sales came to be both profitable and culturally influential. Initially, selling used goods in the United States was seen as a questionable enterprise focused largely on the poor. But as the twentieth century progressed, multimillion-dollar businesses like Goodwill Industries developed, catering not only to the needy but increasingly to well-off customers looking to make a statement. Le Zotte traces the origins and meanings of "secondhand style" and explores how buying pre-owned goods went from a signifier of poverty to a declaration of rebellion. Considering buyers and sellers from across the political and economic spectrum, Le Zotte shows how conservative and progressive social activists--from religious and business leaders to anti-Vietnam protesters and drag queens--shrewdly used the exchange of secondhand goods for economic and political ends. At the same time, artists and performers, from Marcel Duchamp and Fanny Brice to Janis Joplin and Kurt Cobain, all helped make secondhand style a visual marker for youth in revolt.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
One of Booklist's 101 Best Romance Novels of the Last 10 Years from an awe-inspiring, award-winning author The perfect blend of fantasy, romance, and adventure, The Lady of the Storm is an adventurous romance. Readers of Karen Monin, Jennifer Armentrout, Kresley Cole, and Diane Duval will be excited to follow Cecily and Giles on their perilous journey and be fascinated as they uncover the deep, dark connection that binds one to the other. Half-human daughter of the Elven lord of Sea and Sky, Cecily Sutton has been raised in hiding. But when an attack on her village leaves her mother dead and her adoptive father missing, Cecily must turn the village blacksmith to help find him. Giles Beaumont is stuck in a role he never wanted. He longs for action and adventure, but settles for his role as a blacksmith in a provincial village—all the while guarding Cecily from the shadows. Having sworn an oath to her stepfather to keep her safe, Giles has no other choice but to follow after Cecily as she sets out to find him. But duty is quickly replaced with desire as the search for Cecily's stepfather leads to a magical destiny that could end the rule of the Elven Lords. What readers and reviwers are saying about The Lady of the Storm: "Large doses of danger, sexual tension and magic make this a fun and exciting page-turner.""I was engrossed in this book from beginning to end." "a fabulous tale that deftly provides an alternative historical England in which Elven Lords brutally rule."

Kennedy creates a satisfying, fully realized world where adventure abounds... thrilling and distinctive Elven Lords series."—Booklist "...another fascinating blend of history and magic"—Historical Hilarity "Few authors grab the imagination and the heart so deeply."—Merrimon Book Reviews "As darkly imaginative as Tolkien, as richly romantic as Heyer, Kennedy carves a new genre in romantic fiction."—Erin Quinn, author of Haunting Warrior "[Kennedy] has created characters that live and breathe between the pages; a talent which is, in my opinion, a hallmark of skilled storytelling."—Fresh Fiction "Simply delightful... imaginative, historically vigorous, and ripe for further adventures."—Publishers Weekly "Ms. Kennedy's a pro at creating memorable characters, comical situations, a fun dialog, and an endearing love story."—Sia McKye's Thoughts Over Coffee

Book Description
No man lives forever, and Dodger realizes he is no exception to that rule. Not wanting the good he’s done to die with him, he takes on a protégé, Zeke, who will carry on the work of the Yesterday’s Youth Foundation when Dodger is gone. Dodger teaches Zeke everything he knows while he is still able. He even plays Morgan’s game with Zeke, and they find themselves trapped inside the bodies of the characters. While no doubt considered by some to be evil, Morgan wishes to redeem himself, although the road to redemption is not an easy path to travel. Good and evil are not nearly as black and white as some might think. His fertile imagination comes up with a game, something to draw people in, show them he has a more playful side. Plus he wants people to experience life from a different perspective. Somewhat similar to most roleplaying games, Legendary Mythology begins with a blank page, a pouch with a figure, and dice with no numbers. The rules are contained in the game’s book. After his return from the game, Dodger is instructed to pass the game to a group of teenagers. As they complete their adventure, the teens find that their journey isn’t over. A hunt for the citadel leads to a visit with Morgan that results in relics and assigned duties.
