A new approach to understanding the phenomenon of ritual cannibalism through a detailed examination of selected tribal societies demonstrates that the practice is closely linked to people's orientation to the world, and helps distinguish "cultural self."

Book Description
Throughout Canada, they are searching: engaging in complex but deeply relaxing contortions at Salt Spring Island's ashtanga yoga center; feeling "the blast of divine light of the Resurrection" at St. Herman's of Alaska, a non-ethnic Orthodox church in Edmonton; taking the healing waters at Alberta's Lac Ste. Anne pilgrimage; grasping for the Good News at a Billy Graham gathering in Ottawa. These are the Canadians at the cutting edge of today's spiritual quests, says Peter Emberley, men and women seeking to satisfy today's raw hunger for spiritual wholeness, for what is real, for what is. Divine Hunger is a first-ever portrait of the spiritual searches of Canada's babyboomers. It offers a fascinating commentary on our modern state of religious consciousness, looking at the dichotomy between our belief that we are free and self-determining beings, yet willing to submit to religions and movements that require subjugation and a large leap of faith.

Book Description
They say he's a myth... And Hades prefers it that way. He may do all the work, and Zeus may get all the credit, but at least it allows Hades to preserve the one thing he truly cares to have: his solitude. The mere mention of the Wraith of Khaos Falls is enough to keep order, and he is rarely forced to leave the shadows of Casino Asphodel. She belongs in the spotlight... And Persephone clawed her way out of Demeter's shadow to reach it. Now she's lead in Calliope's Cirque production but not without great cost, and there is not enough money in the world to pay off the debt accrued for the simple mistake of trusting Zeus. Though it's easier to ignore the bars when she still has room to fly. Landing a residency at the legendary Casino Asphodel is everything she trained for. Meeting a man she'd been convinced didn't exist? She could never be prepared for that. Hades isn't prepared for her either, but it's soon evident they're a force when together. He gives her a soft place to land, and she makes him want to reach for the stars. But when Zeus ups the stakes, they must be willing to go all in, even if it means coming down from the sky. Or stepping into the light.

Book Description
India's folklore and classical literature abound with stories of parents who sacrifice their children. In The Hungry God, David Shulman examines one set of such tales—Hindu texts that bear similarities to the biblical aqedah, the account of Abraham's near-sacrifice of Isaac. In all the stories that Shulman explores, the sacrifice proceeds from a divine command and has no utilitarian explanation or rationale.

Book Description
It’s obvious that we are living in an exceptional time. Exceptional times require exceptional measures. As in Psalm 2, there is an effort by world rulers to dethrone God and eradicate from society, any references to Christ. Consequently, a war has been declared against Christ’s Church, which at this point in history is in a lethargic state. A defiant departure from God and a slow purge of His helpful boundaries has led to emptiness of souls, moral decadence, arrogance, division, confusion... The Sovereign God is, however, going to respond to the seemingly insurmountable challenges we face in a unique way. God is coming down through what we know as a revival and an awakening to heal the wounded world, the book states. This exceptional divine intervention is what The Coming Deluge of His Glory is about. It chronicles the author’s fascinating and unusual history with God from a voodoo-saturated village in Benin, West Africa to the United-States. A unique journey that has given birth to a unique divine perspective. This book is a compelling vision of a glorious season ahead. “Heaven is ready to touch the Earth. God is coming down like an overwhelming flood to make His purpose established on Earth.” Nestor said. He describes in the book the descriptive visions and insights the Holy Spirit instilled in him about the so-awaited revival and awakening. The Coming Deluge of His Glory will stir up faith, hope, and love in believers through captivating revelations and Nestor’s knowledge of God’s agenda for His kingdom. It’s a proclamation of the coming of God’s army, a lion generation of Christians whose mission is to conquer, rule, and reign with a royal authority and power. It will set your heart on fire and help you explore the intensity of the Father’s sublime love.

Book Description
'It is not to be thought that the life of darkness is sunk in misery and lost as if in sorrow. There is no sorrowing. For sorrowing is a thing swallowed up in death, and death and dying are the very life of the darkness.' Jacob Boehme's mystical pantheism and dialectical conception of God - in which good and evil are rooted in one and the same being - soon brought him into conflict with Lutheran orthodoxy. It is in 'The Signature of all Things' (Signatura Rerum) that the tenets of Boehme's theosophy are related in their greatest detail. Casting the reader into the vortex of his cosmological universe, Boehme's endeavour to express a new sense of the human, divine and natural realms attains its apotheosis in his conception of the Ungrund, the uncertainty that precedes the divine will's arousing itself to self-awareness. Challenging and rewarding in equal measure, this is a profound text, deeply influential upon devotional writers such as William Law, visionaries such as William Blake (informing The Marriage of Heaven and Hell) and, more recently, upon cultural production as diverse as the psychology of Carl Jung and Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy.
