NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • World War II brings together six remarkable young flight nurses, who face the challenges of war and its many heartbreaks and victories as unsung heroes, in this inspiring novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle Steel. Audrey Parker’s life changes forever when Pearl Harbor is attacked on December 7, 1941. Her brother, a talented young Navy pilot, had been stationed there, poised to fulfill their late father’s distinguished legacy. Fresh out of nursing school with a passion and a born gift for helping others, both Audrey and her friend Lizzie suddenly find their nation on the brink of war. Driven to do whatever they can to serve, they enlist in the Army and embark on a new adventure as flight nurses. Risking their lives on perilous missions, they join the elite Medical Air Evacuation Transport Squadron and fly into enemy territory almost daily to rescue wounded soldiers from the battlefield. Audrey and Lizzie make enormous sacrifices to save lives alongside an extraordinary group of nurses: Alex, who longs to make a difference in the world; Louise, a bright mind who faced racial prejudice growing up in the South; Pru, a selfless leader with a heart of gold; and Emma, whose confidence and grit push her to put everything on the line for her patients. Even knowing they will not achieve any rank and will receive little pay for their efforts, the “Flying Angels” will give their all in the fight for freedom. They serve as bravely and tirelessly as the men they rescue on the front lines, in daring airlifts, and are eternally bound by their loyalty to one another. Danielle Steel presents a sweeping, stunning tribute to these incredibly courageous women, inspiring symbols of bravery and valor.

Piety and Politics in Qajar Iran
Author: Nahid Massoumeh Assemi
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 0755652657
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 313
Book Description
The Takkiyya Mu'avin al-Mulk is a building complex in the city of Kermanshah in western Iran, dedicated to the annual commemoration of the martyrdom of Husayn ibn 'Ali at the Battle of Karbala in 680, an event of seminal significance to Shi'i Islam. Private takkiyyas built by social elites were a phenomenon of the Qajar period, with their construction motivated by a political quest for legitimacy. This book examines the intersection of art and architecture, popular piety, and the politics of legitimation. Through an examination of the building and its decorative programme, it addresses issues of patronage, Shi'i iconography and popular religious practices during the early 20th century in Iran. It further argues for the role of takkiyyas in creation of a sense of community and group identity; the formative stage of the emergent idea of nationhood at the time, amongst those who frequented them.

The Destroyer and the Lamb
Author: Matthias Reinhard Hoffmann
Publisher: Mohr Siebeck
ISBN: 9783161487781
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
Matthias Reinhard Hoffmann identifies an angelomorphic portrait of Christ in certain passages of Revelation and provides possible reasons for the inclusion of an angelomorphic Christology: Angelomorphic Christology is not regarded as an isolated christological concept. In turn, the author compares angelomorphic Christology with the prominent Lamb Christology of Revelation. A comparison of these concepts reveals that both Lamb and angelomorphic Christology serve the purpose of contrasting different functions of Christ. The functions correspond with the implied perception of Christ by his followers on the one hand and his opponents on the other. Accordingly, Christ appears to be an eschatological juridical figure (described in angelomorphic patterns) to his opposition, while he is perceived as salvific redeemer (in form of the Lamb) by those who believe in him. Such a christological perspective draws on traditions from the Exodus narrative, namely the features of the Passover Lamb and the Destroying Angel. Further, equality between God and Christ is established despite an angelomorphic portrait of Christ: especially those passages describing Christ as the Lamb put him on par with God. But also within visions with an angelomorphic description of Christ, his status as superior to angels and as an equal to God is displayed.

A Rebirth of Images
Author: Austin Farrer
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1597529494
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 353
Book Description
In this book St. John's Revelation is approached as a great and singular theological poem. The author tries to see how the poem arose in an inspired mind, by what processes of divination its author explored the realm of supernatural truth, how he used the images of his Old Testament faith and gave them fresh meaning in the context of his scheme. Here the reader may follow the workings of a late first-century Christian imagination in which the Scriptures and the stars, the liturgy of the temple and the magic of numbers, the elements of nature and the march of human history are closely interwoven.

The Message of the Three Angels'
Author: Dr. Ashwin Drummond
Publisher: Ladder To Heaven
ISBN: 8195931413
Category : Bibles
Languages : en
Pages : 60
Book Description
The book gives an insight into the aspects of how this world was created. How could the immortal creation of God turn into being mortal? The reasons for this aberration and abnormalities have been explained. The role of Lucifer the devil in spoiling things and the final outcome in this regard. The basic character of God prompted him to salvage the fallen human race. Accordingly, the Lord has been making interventions right from the beginning to correct this abnormality. How this intervention works, what are the obligations on the part of man to fulfill, and what the logical end is also outlined? The final conflict between those who align themselves with God and walk his path in obedience and those who cast the lot with satan and worldly things has also been outlined. Right from the beginning of creation to the end, the various interventions made by Lord to save his people, and the opposition and resistance forthcoming from the devil is also explained. The sharp distinction between those who will have eternal life and those who shall be cast in the lake of fire makes interesting reading. The metamorphosis to eternity and the end of the devil and his evil angels is clearly brought out. This book examines the efforts made by God to gather all the people and give them salvation. Right from the beginning God has been looking and waiting for a man to come back to Him. Before the world was destroyed by the great deluge, He appointed Noah, a man of great esteem to preach to the people to repent and leave their sinful ways. Noah preached for 120 years for the people to repent and come back to God. In like fashion the Lord has been sending prophets since the beginning of civilization so that the people repent and come back to him. As a loving God he wants to save every soul and thus gives us chance after chance and opens ways and means through which we can reach out to him. Finally, God sent his son Jesus Christ. They crucified him. Through His blood He ransomed humanity. Since the chosen people of God rejected Him, the door of salvation was opened to the gentiles. The Gospel was then to be preached to all in all the corners of the world.
