Book Description
The children of Colombia’s drug lords face a rude awakening in a “supremely well-crafted” novel by one of “the best Latin American writers at work today” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). After twelve years away, Larry comes home to Colombia when his father, an old associate of Pablo Escobar, is murdered. Larry plans to collect his father’s remains and give him a proper burial . . . but his childhood friend Pedro has other plans. Picking him up at the airport, Pedro takes him directly to the Alborada celebration in Medellín—where Larry’s long-awaited homecoming takes an increasingly grim turn. The years of luxury living in bodyguard-surrounded mansions are over. Larry watches his family—including his ex-beauty queen mother and troubled brother—fall deeper into depression, drug addiction, and the traps of the family business. Now Larry must confront his family’s turbulent history while protecting himself from the dark remnants of a lost and struggling city. Unflinching and remarkably controlled, Jorge Franco’s Shooting Down Heaven is a stunning portrait of a generation wounded by their parents’ mistakes.

Book Description
A unique example of literary archaeology by Bedrettin Simsek, which can only be compared to the Gospel of Judas. A different, ironic take on the world's oldest story, which tells us about the secret life of the devil in a satirical tone. A novel that recreates the stylized, unmistakable tone of the Gnostics, adorned with metaphors, presenting the richness of images in an economical language. Not only does it have deep meanings, but it can also be funny. The story of Adam and Eve has been told countless times by different authors. It was all like a repetition of what was said in the holy books. But this time the roles are changed, the role of Jesus is taken by the devil, who imitates his style, speaks just like him, performs miracles, but somehow cannot be crucified. Like Judas Iscariot, who wanted to regain his reputation in the newly discovered Gospel of Judas, the Devil, who is always accused but never allowed to defend himself, presents us with his own Bible in this work. He tells us the truth from his own perspective and shows the courage to go against God and say, "No, that's not what happened, this is what happened". In this way, while it becomes clear after centuries why God placed a prohibition and why this prohibition was violated, the devil himself answers the questions left unanswered by the holy books and the prophets. For those who miss true literature of intellectual value.

Book Description
This book provides detailed evidence from everything Jesus prophesied, often broken down to the root definitions of terms from the Greek and Aramaic/Hebrew languages which manuscripts were written in, to show in context by numerous Bible records, how and why those called, Ti (Tee) and Do (Doe) were the new incarnations of the One referred to as the Father and before then, Jehovah and Elohim, with the One who was incarnate in the vehicle (body) named Jesus, and before then Elijah, Moses, Enoch and Adam, who with Their Crew of Student "Saints," were on earth again to fulfill the promised return of Their Kingdom during these "End Times," through Their task recorded as the "Two Witnesses" in the Book of Revelations, that was completed when they exited their incarnations in March of 1997 - seen in the world's news as Heaven's Gate. Ti and Do left extensive records of everything they came to awaken to know over their combined 25 years incarnate. As I spent 19 fully dedicated years with them I drew upon their records and my experience to describe many new translations of terms and new interpretations of most all Book of Revelations records. Finally, I studied world history and current events that can be shown to be valid reference points in many prophecies. This includes many unusual events NASA has photographed in outer space as Jesus prophesied; a cityscape of Lights on dwarf planet Ceres, earth-like qualities to dwarf planet Pluto, hexagon shaped top on Saturn, spire like towers on the Moon, complicated objects that resemble Star Trek's star-ship enterprise in the sun's corona, comets that are comprised of several to seven objects flying in V formation, or having companion objects with them and parts of UFO and Luciferian space alien reports, holograms like Fatima and Spirits. TI & DO The Father and "Jesus" Heaven's Gate UFO Two Witnesses, Who Returned Incarnate With Their "Saints," From 1972 to 1997 Prophesied in the Book of Revelations Termed by Christians as "The Second Coming" From The Physical "Evolutionary" Level Above Human The Kingdom of God in Heaven Whose Membership: "Wear" Physical Vehicles (Bodies), Grown on a Vine (That Human bodies are Designed to Resemble) To Work Within planet Sized Spacecrafts Like Pluto and Ceres That Serve as Laboratories for Their Earth Soul-Growing "Garden" Experiments That Incorporate the Negative Influence of The Luciferian "Space" Aliens, aka "The Fallen Angels" So Prospective New Members, Directed By Incarnate Older members May Overcome the Human "Evolutionary" Kingdom To Graduate Into the Next Level Kingdom In the Literal Heavens.
