Book Description
A New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice Selection A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year (Fiction) “J.G. Ballard is the undisputed laureate of suburban psychosis.... A brilliant novel.” —Literary Review A violent novel filled with insidious twists, Kingdom Come follows the exploits of Richard Pearson, a rebellious, unemployed advertising executive, whose father is gunned down by a deranged mental patient in a vast shopping mall outside Heathrow Airport. When the prime suspect is released without charge, Richard’s suspicions are aroused. Investigating the mystery, Richard uncovers at the Metro-Centre mall a neo-fascist world whose charismatic spokesperson is whipping up the masses into a state of unsustainable frenzy. Riots frequently terrorize the complex, immigrant communities are attacked by hooligans, and sports events mushroom into jingoistic political rallies. In this gripping, dystopian tour de force, J.G. Ballard holds up a mirror to suburban mind rot, revealing the darker forces at work beneath the gloss of consumerism and flag-waving patriotism.

Book Description
Discover how God's Divine Presence gives your purpose and fulfillment regardless of life's season as you learn to discern the temporary from the eternal and live with conviction. Have you ever looked at your life and wondered, "Is this it?" After a childhood of being promised the future is bright, it's difficult to see meaning and purpose as you trudge through your everyday adulthood obligations. Expectations are unmet, hope fades, and disappointment in relationships and careers leaves you longing for better while living broken. But some things are temporary and others eternal, and you must learn to tell the difference. The Kingdom and Presence of God are still present, right here and right now. And experiencing them changes everything. Glimpses of God's divine Kingdom can be found in your workplace, classroom, and around the dinner table with friends. His nearness can be felt in celebratory moments and in empty apartments and when the phone rings with devastating news. Even when the world around you appears to be falling apart, God and His Kingdom remain steadfast. As you experience the inevitable pain of finding your way, this book will help you realize you aren't alone and encourage you through the narrative of Scripture. Many have gone before us and shown us the way. God's Kingdom has come (and is still coming) and His presence is real. Eternal things can be seen if we learn to look through the lens of His unchanging Truth.

Thy Kingdom Come
Author: Richard C. Silk
Publisher: Christian Publishing House
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
"Thy Kingdom Come" is the first book in a series of "Newer Gospel" aimed at leading the world from the pre-Apocalyptic age (at the time of editing) into the post-Apocalyptic era (post-Armageddon.) The Old Testament (which started being recorded by Moses) served roughly 1900-2000 years until the writing of the New Testament, which has lasted 1600-2000 years, so this series is designed to hopefully serve another millennia (at least!) Acts 1:11 relates how Jesus (ascended upon a cloud) will return in like manner. While witnessing that event in person sounds super-cool, launching a book and publishing it online (in the "cloud") may be the closest I get to seeing it in this lifetime, but figuratively speaking, it fits the prophecy (paperback or other printed versions notwithstanding.) "Thy Kingdom Come" is man's invitation to God to "Throw the frickin' switch, already! Let's get this Apocalypse started!"
