Heaven't You Heard?
Author: Geanna Culbertson
Publisher: BQB Publishing
ISBN: 1952782473
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 705
Book Description
Imagine if TV's The Good Place and Good Omens had a brainchild. Now imagine if that brainchild had a fascination with the shenanigans of the Shadowhunter universe . . . Do I have your attention? As a young girl I fantasized about my happily ever after. Little did I know that the "after" to define my story would be the afterlife . . . A teenage Guardian Angel's work is never done. My name is Grace Cardiff. I was seventeen when my mother and I got into a fatal car crash. Don't waste your time grieving for me; I've already done that and I am trying my best to move forward because Heaven gave me a big to-do list. Once I made it past the Pearly Gates and got the basic questions out of the way (What's the deal with Stonehenge? Is my dead dog here?) I found out I'm a part of a minuscule percentage of humans with a soul qualified to serve as a Guardian Angel. That means I'm supposed to assume a new identity on Earth so I can protect people who are meant to positively, significantly impact humankind. It's a lot to process, I know. Regardless, my job now is to use magical angel powers and natural spunk to protect my teenage boy assignment from the dangers of life and demons who spend their time trying to foil angels when they're not taking laps in lakes of fire. It's funny---I thought Heaven would be all about rainbows, cake, and puppies. I didn't think it would involve a massive identity crisis and going back to high school.

Heaven and Earth
Author: Vincent J Hyde
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1504312112
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 97
Book Description
Human beings have the ability to store knowledge very accurately. Increased knowledge has resulted in a changing view of heaven and earth. The rules and laws of heaven have resulted in the fields of heaven. The rules and laws of earth have resulted in the fields of earth. We know that the fields of knowledge on earth have rules and laws made by many bright human beings. It is difficult to imagine rules and laws coming into existence on their own. This implies that the rules and laws of heaven and earth are the work of a Creator. The limitation of the individual human senses and the collection of human knowledge in the ever-increasing fields of knowledge has resulted in the rapid development of machines. Machines do not need food and water to sustain themselves. Machines are designed to convert a fuel source like electricity or petroleum directly into energy to do a required task or work. Machines may be worn out with extensive use, but they do not experience health problems, viral attacks, or psychological and organ problems. The earth is full of machines to make life and living more comfortable. We have machines like telescopes to explore the heavens, and we have rockets and probes to take us into the heavens. We have machines to explore the atoms and elements that exist on earth. We have machines like microscopes to explore the cells that result in life. Finally, we have computers that can be networked to communicate and store data and information in a very reliable manner. Hence, though the rules of heaven and earth made human beings, it is the human beings who made machines through the fields of knowledge. Machines have made it possible to take human consciousness to other worlds of the Milky Way Galaxy and the other galaxies in Heaven, to make the dust on other worlds conscious. It is amazing to think that the whole process was planned by the Creator.

Call Me Ishtar
Author: Rhoda Lerman
Publisher: ABRAMS
ISBN: 1468315382
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 287
Book Description
From the award-winning author of God’s Ear: A “wildly funny, achingly spiritual, profoundly Jewish and feminist” satire of religion and gender politics (The New York Times Book Review). Call Me Ishtar is the outrageous manifesto of a goddess determined to right the wrongs of the three-thousand-year-old patriarchy. She is Ishtar: Mother Goddess, Queen of Heaven, Angel of Death, and Whore of Babylon, and, returning to earth in this most recent incarnation, suburban housewife and sexual subversive. Gallivanting through upstate New York, Ishtar breaks into a Hostess factory to taint its products, catapults a rock band to stardom via satanic rituals, and rises from the coffin at her own funeral—all to overthrow the worship of phallic gods and resume her former glory in this “bouncy, tongue-in-cheek mythmash of The White Goddess and The Feminine Mystique” (Kirkus Reviews). “[Lerman’s] is a unique voice—wildly funny, achingly spiritual, profoundly Jewish and feminist at the same time.” —The New York Times Book Review
