Book Description
Nessa has been destined for great power since the day she was born and not just because she is the daughter of the High Priestess. There has long been a prophecy of a witch or warlock who would have power over all the elements, one who would defeat an old enemy and save their kind from doom. Nessa is that witch--the prophecy's daughter. Now if only she could get control over her massive powers. As if trying to master all the elements and preparing for every possible disastrous event that could happen, a certain bad-boy warlock takes an interest in her and not in a good way. Valcon is the last thing that Nessa needs, but as the bad boy facade starts to fade away, something else starts to develop. Is it possible that Nessa could find love in the midst of what could be the end of her world? The demonic world, which hasn't attacked in years, is back again. This time it appears that they are planning to stick around until they have destroyed every last witch and warlock still living. The prophecy predicted something devastating like this. It also predicted that the prophecy's daughter would save them. But as Nessa learns as the attacks start, the prophecy also foretold that she might be the one to send her world into ruin. Does the prophecy's daughter have what it takes to master her abilities and save her world from destruction? Or will the demons destroy everything she has ever known?

Women Preachers and Prophets through Two Millennia of Christianity
Author: Beverly Mayne Kienzle
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520919270
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 386
Book Description
For nearly two millennia, despite repeated prohibitions, Christian women have preached. Some have preached in official settings; others have found alternative routes for expression. Prophecy, teaching, writing, and song have all filled a broad definition of preaching. This anthology, with essays by an international group of scholars from several disciplines, investigates the diverse voices of Christian women who claimed the authority to preach and prophesy. The contributors examine the centuries of arguments, grounded in Pauline injunctions, against women's public speech and the different ways women from the early years of the church through the twentieth century have nonetheless exercised religious leadership in their communities. Some of them based their authority solely on divine inspiration; others were authorized by independent-minded communities; a few were even recognized by the church hierarchy. With its lively accounts of women preachers and prophets in the Christian tradition, this exceptionally well-documented collection will interest scholars and general readers alike.

Becoming Psychic
Author: Stephen Kierulff
Publisher: Red Wheel/Weiser
ISBN: 1632658348
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 374
Book Description
Becoming Psychic provides a lively dialogue between a clinical psychologist who believes that he has had a number of psychic (or "paranormal") experiences and a research psychologist and parapsychologist who attempts to put these reports in a scientific framework. The anecdotes make for fascinating reading and the scientific responses are relayed in a reader-friendly manner. Readers who have had similar experiences can begin to understand their own glimpses of future events, remarkable recoveries from major or minor illnesses, or knowledge of what is happening to a loved one hundreds of miles away. Paul Von Ward, author of Our Solarian Legacy, writes in the Introduction: "Becoming Psychic is a book for everyone who seeks meaning among the non-ordinary experiences of life. Telepathy, clairvoyance, psychokenesis, precognition, mind/body healing, prayer, and synchronicity are all illustrated in personal terms by Dr. Kierulff and placed in scientific context by Stanley Krippner—a successful merging of the perspectives of the experiencer and the scientist."
