“A smartly written theological adventure from a dexterous student of biblical prophecy.” —Kirkus Reviews “. . . an audacious apocalyptic epic that fuses Christian myth and prophecy with science fiction elements.” —BlueInk Review From 1969 to 1989, Kim, Chris, and several others are affected by the schemes of an evil group intent on world domination. As Kim’s half-brother, Father Benny Cross, attempts to attain a more powerful position in the Vatican hierarchy, he is aided by a multi-million dollar loan negotiated with Kim’s son, Michael. Meanwhile, Kim finds herself attracted to a devout priest who has lost everything in a brutal war. Determined to not break his vows, Father Chris agrees to a friendship with Kim with the hope he can once again know the joy of family. Now Benny’s loan is due and he doesn’t have the money. In exchange for a position of power in the Vatican, he gave it to international financier Luciano Begliali, whose goal is to enslave the world under the dictatorship of an engineered, alien-human hybrid. Michael’s reluctance to renew the loan draws him into the world of intrigue surrounding Benny and eventually puts him at odds with his brother Gabe. Kim and Chris struggle to hold their family together even as Chris works behind the scenes to thwart Benny’s plans. Now only time will tell who, if anyone, can save the world from the encroaching evil. In this continuing tale of three families and cosmic conspiracies, good battles evil as the fate of the world is decided in one thunderous crack.

The New Pentecostal Message?
Author: Lewis Brogdon
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1498205909
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
The prosperity movement has influenced millions of people in North America, Asia, Europe, South America, and Africa through Pentecostal, Charismatic and nondenominational preachers in some of the largest churches in the world. CNN, ABC, and Time magazine have examined the preachers and churches in this popular and controversial movement. Scholars and church leaders have studied it for more than two decades, producing dozens of books and articles on it. Considering the widespread popularity of the prosperity movement and the attention it is given by its critics, Brogdon asks, "Is prosperity preaching the new Pentecostal message?" In order to answer this question, one has to examine the prosperity movement as a Pentecostal movement instead of a Word of Faith movement that is a revised form of New Thought metaphysics and Science of Mind. Brogdon provides an introduction to the prosperity movement as a Pentecostal movement. He asks important questions in the study of the prosperity movement, such as who popularized prosperity teaching, Oral Roberts or Ken Hagin? Do all Pentecostals agree with the prosperity doctrine? Is prosperity teaching good news to the poor? Has prosperity replaced the emphasis on the Holy Spirit? The answers may surprise you.

The 13th Sunday after Pentecost
Author: Joseph Bathanti
Publisher: LSU Press
ISBN: 0807164631
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 78
Book Description
In The 13th Sunday after Pentecost, Joseph Bathanti offers poems that delve deep into a life reimagined through a mythologized past. Moving from his childhood to the present, weaving through the Italian immigrant streets of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to his parochial school, from the ballpark to church and home again, these contemplative poems present a situation unique to the poet but familiar to us all. As Bathanti recalls the joys, struggles, and confusion of his formative years in the late fifties and into the sixties, he gains a deeper understanding of the often surreal, always paradoxical world around him. He explores the perceived injustices of childhood, observes the mysteries of religious rituals, and examines the complex emotions families experience as children grow up and parents grow old. These poems divulge an eventful life, compelling us to reflect on our own as we confront a world of wonder and uncertainty. Across the strike zone swoops a dove, maybe an angel. You’re in Pittsburgh, March; it’s snowing. All week you’ve seen angels; everyone’s tired, proclaiming even horrid things angels, intimating miracles. Johnson’s pitch obliterates the bird— a hail of feathers and dander, as if inside a tiny bomb detonated. Like a cartoon. Thoroughly unbelievable. Around you, people are dying. But you ignore it. You laugh at the massacred dove. It’s not funny, but you laugh. You could cry, rip your hair out, your clothes off, crash through the seventhfloor window into the slushy black streets of the city. It’s funny because it’s not. —from “Angels”
