Immortal Combat

Pages : 121
Book Description
Today, far too many leading Christians water down the robust teachings of our Faith. Ignoring Christ's clear example and constant demand that we boldly confront evils, they preach an amicable, nonconfrontational, feel-good gospel. Instead of teaching the faithful to edify and enjoin the wayward, they urge them to pacify and submit . . . with catastrophic results personally, for the Church, and for society at large. Now comes Fr. Dwight Longenecker with this potent book that shows how, by engaging in the lost art of spiritual warfare, good Christians can cure this trend and repair the extensive damage it has caused. Here, without fear or favor, Longenecker maps out the myriad places where evil lurks in our world, shines a light on its many faces, and details the countless clever tricks it uses to hide. He delineates ten sturdy principles that must motivate all Christian warriors who hope to expunge evil and stop it from returning. And finally, he explains in fascinating detail the art of immortal combat, showing how self-sacrifice and contemplation of the Cross can bring victory over any evil, no matter how hidden or how grave. Be forewarned: this book calls you to sanctity and is not for wimps. For sanctity is impossible apart from heroic virtue, and heroic virtue is impossible apart from spiritual warfare. As Fr. Longenecker puts it, “Find a saint, and you'll find a warrior.” These pages are a mighty guidebook for souls hungry to follow the way of the Christian warrior by taking up their crosses and following into immortal combat the King of the Universe, Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Pages : 466
Book Description
Based on Norse mythology, the third installment of the Renshai saga concludes the tale of three brothers caught in a dangerous magical confrontation, against which humans and elves must band together to preserve their worlds. After a cataclysmic magical confrontation that shakes the very roots of Midgard, elves and humans alike struggle to put the pieces of their lives back together. But with many among them cast out of their own world and stranded in the Outworlds, the chances of rescuing all those "lost" souls seems very slim. While elves can find those of their own race, they cannot track humans in the same way. Perhaps, if the powers of the elves, the human mages of Myrcidë, and the one surviving Kjempemagiska, the sorcerer Kentt, can be combined, they can bring back most of those lost in chaos. Saviar, Subikahn, and Calistin, the three Renshai brothers, must all face their own personal demons, as they attempt to find their destinies in this radically changed world. Even the royal family of Béarn will find everything they value placed at risk. Only if the brothers, their friends, family, allies, and former enemies can find a way to work together will they have any hope of healing Midgard and carving out the path to a better future for all.

Are We Immortal?

Languages : en
Pages : 139
Book Description
The answer is yes. Am I body or soul? When we say, it is my body, it is my hand, it is my car or it is my house, etc., it means that I own these things (including my body). So I cannot be these things. So I am soulwhen the soul gets out of the body at the time of death, although all its parts are present but nonfunctional. Whole body is either cremated or buried, which eventually disintegrates. Some of us believe in reincarnation or rebirth. Dr. Ian Stevenson of the Department of Psychology and Neurology, University of Virginia, has studied three thousand cases as of 1987 from all parts of the world. Each one of them said, I remember my previous life, and verified by Dr. Stevenson and published. (Refer it in my chapter Rebirth, Chapter Characteristics of soul.) It is self-exemplified and other quotations from Hindu scriptures. The soul, to begin with, was pure as 24-carat gold. But after when it gets in the body of living beings and especially human body, it becomes impure due to good and bad actions (karma). Then it needs to be pure again in order to be immortal. For this it needs Gods grace, prayer, meditation, and other means to mingle with God as water of Rivers merge with water of sea and become salty water as of the sea.
