Book Description
Whether you lived through the sixties and seventies or just wish you had, this revised and expanded edition of the Hippie Dictionary entertains as much as it educates. Cultural and political listings such as "Age of Aquarius," "Ceasar Chavez," and "Black Power Movement," plus popular phrases like "acid flashback," "get a grip," and "are you for real?" will remind you of how revolutionary those 20 years were. Although the hippie era spans two decades beginning with the approval of the birth control pill in 1960 and ending with the death of John Lennon in 1980, it wasn't all about sex, drugs, and rock'n' roll. These were the early years of pro-ecology and anti-capitalist beliefs-beliefs that are just as timely as ever. So kick back and trip out on the new entries as well as the old, and discover why some are dubbing the sixties and seventies "the intellectual renaissance of the 20th century."

Author: Nathan Lumbatis
Publisher: Dove Christian Publishers
ISBN: 8832595338
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
Thirteen-year-old Daniel just got adopted. But when he learns his new family wants him as a slave, he runs away with the help of his neighbors: the naive and cowardly Ben, and Raylin, a street-smart girl with impressive martial arts skills. He begins to second-guess his decision, however, when the cave they hide in transports them to the ruins of Machu Picchu, where the companions find themselves embroiled in a battle between ancient gods of life and death. To top things off, the God of Life draws Daniel into the fray by adopting him as his son and setting him on a quest to complete a broken, mystical sword—a task that pits him against the god of the underworld and his nightmarish minions. Now, Daniel and his friends have just one weekend to find the shards before a horde of supernatural enemies catches up. But that's not all they face. The god of death has a surprising connection to Daniel's past and knows where he's most vulnerable. WILL THE POWER OF HIS HEAVENLY FATHER BE ENOUGH TO SAVE THEM FROM THE ENEMY'S TRAPS? Daniel and the Sun Sword is a young adult, Christian fantasy novel exploring faith, redemption, and adoption as sons and daughters of God. It is the first book in the Sons and Daughters series, which includes Daniel and the Triune Quest, Daniel and the Serpents Abyss, and Daniel and the Trees of Eden.
