Angels with Angles
Author: Loring Leifer
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780997250800
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Angels with Angles is the true story of two nuns who started an inner-city daycare in 1969 against the wishes of the Catholic Church. Then Sister Berta Sailer and Sister Corita Bussanmas proceeded to break rules and sometimes laws to grow Operation Breakthrough into one of the largest and most respected of its kind in the country. These two colorful crusaders fearlessly and sometimes foolishly, took on a bishop, the Catholic diocese, a few politicians, landlords, and even the Internal Revenue Service to sustain their mission to keep Operation Breakthrough. To aid in their fight, they enlisted a memorable cast of draft dodgers, hippies, Black Panthers, activists, and socialites. Operation Breakthrough has now grown into an $8 million early learning center that serves about 400 children and their families every day. Angels with Angles reveals how these sisters of the hood have given thousands of children born into crushing poverty the chance for brighter tomorrows.

The Book of Angels
Author: Stephen Miller
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527535436
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Both collectively and individually we have a deep and abiding fascination with angels. This book explores depictions of angels in the visual arts and in scripture and associated apocryphal and mystical writings, specifically in the Hebrew and Christian Bibles and Islamic, Zoroastrian and other ancient and latter-day accounts. It examines the visual clues, artistic conventions and attributes that have been set down to help us to recognise angels in their particular roles and functions. Certain writings have had a particularly influential bearing on our understanding of angels. This text focuses on the hierarchies and orders proposed by the likes of Pseudo-Dionysius, St. Thomas Aquinas and others. In a new age of fascination with the metaphysical and supernatural (in film, television, popular mythology and literature), are we cementing or losing our connection with the authentic meaning and purpose that such vibrant and energised beings bring to our table? This book contains more than 30 illustrations in a central colour plates section. It also includes a useful glossary of terms and will prove a rich and enduring reference resource for libraries, as well as a stimulating go-to source for those interested in the world of angels and how human sensibilities and imaginative reasoning have enriched the subject, as a starting point for interreligious dialogue.

Pages : 386
Book Description
Welcome back to the brash, brutal new world of the twenty-fifth century: where global politics isn’t just for planet Earth anymore; and where death is just a break in the action, thanks to the techno-miracle that can preserve human consciousness and download it into one new body after another. Cynical, quick-on-the-trigger Takeshi Kovacs, the ex-U.N. envoy turned private eye, has changed careers, and bodies, once more . . . trading sleuthing for soldiering as a warrior-for-hire, and helping a far-flung planet’s government put down a bloody revolution. But when it comes to taking sides, the only one Kovacs is ever really on is his own. So when a rogue pilot and a sleazy corporate fat cat offer him a lucrative role in a treacherous treasure hunt, he’s only too happy to go AWOL with a band of resurrected soldiers of fortune. All that stands between them and the ancient alien spacecraft they mean to salvage are a massacred city bathed in deadly radiation, unleashed nanotechnolgy with a million ways to kill, and whatever surprises the highly advanced Martian race may have in store. But armed with his genetically engineered instincts, and his trusty twin Kalashnikovs, Takeshi is ready to take on anything—and let the devil take whoever’s left behind.

Who says learning biblical concepts has to be boring? Not Dr. T.R. Lawson! He takes, what some feel is the most complicated and confusing book of the bible and makes it come alive.

Along the way, we meet interesting angelic beings such as Abaddon, the Scorpion King; Cledis and Buckus, the two hilarious Angels of Old; Clyubis, the faithful Guardian Angel; and Lucifer’s three best friends, Mam, Mucer, and Moch. You will be moved to tears at the grand finale between Satan and Father God.

Book Description
Devil in the Device brims with brilliant world-building and richly-imagined characters—a great encapsulation of everything that makes science fiction so much fun!" —Andrea Tang, author of Rebelwing and Renegade Flight Zhade's power might be going to his head. Newly on the throne, he’s still getting used to wearing Maret's face, but he can't deny that the influence it affords him has its perks. So when the magic of Eerensed starts to turn deadly, Zhade must master the Crown if he's going to save his people, and Tsurina's destructive plans for Eerensed aren't going to make that easy. Worse, he's starting to see her point. Andra is underground. Assumed dead by the people of Eerensed, she must stay hidden in the city’s depths if she's going to live long enough to build the rocket that will finally save the colonists from this dying planet. But when Andra hears voices urging her to destroy everything, she starts to dig deeper into her subconcious. What she discovers leads her to question whether she's destined to be a savior after all. Battling the dangerous forces buried within their minds, Andra and Zhade will have to find a way to work together before two power-hungry leaders and a deadly swarm of rogue technology destroy humanity for good. Lora Beth Johnson delivers a stunning conclusion to the Goddess in the Machine duology with this brilliant novel. Part political conspiracy, part technological thriller, its deeply emotional core deftly explores what it means to be human, and how to hold on when everything seems lost.
