It's the summer of 1973. Steve Williams, recently terminated Peace Corps Volunteer, is being treated for paranoid schizophrenia by his doctors in Iowa. But Steve knows that the real problem is evil Zar demons and only his Ethiopian lover Abebech can help. But they'd never let Steve back in to Ethiopia, not after what he did.

Book Description
If you don't learn to govern yourself, you will be governed by others, and your own impulses will be the reins they use to lead you. That's how Mark Horne's new book, Solomon Says: Directives for Young Men, captures Solomon's warning to young men in the Book of Proverbs, advising them how to avoid sinful lifestyles and seek the wisdom of kings.

Book Description
This book is about how the living soul can attain eternal peace and hence eternal life as a living soul would yield it when abiding in the Lord Jesus Christ. Tapping the Lords Prayer as the authorized spiritual vehicle to communicate with God, this book attests that the name of the Lord Jesus Christ is the foundation, the seal of salvation, and the bearing point to overcome the world. By showing the intrinsic relationship of the invisible with the manifested world, the heavenly and the earthly, this book lucidly defines why the soul should glorify God as an end to lifes purpose while seeking righteousness and fulfilling the commandments. By presenting ground breaking revelations about the spiritual realm and hence the living God through the spiritual compass, this book would help the reader to discern wisdom about how to worship the Lord in truth and spirit to see the glimpse of eternal life and enjoy eternal peace, not as the world offers it but as the Lord Jesus confers it on the living soul.

Examining the primary sources on Solomon, such as the Bible, the Koran, and the writings of Flavius Josephus, the author explores Solomon’s judgments, his explorations, his literary and scientific works (including an herbal), and his constructions beyond the eponymous temple, such as the copper city in Andalus built by the djinns and the baths of Sulayman. He also looks at Solomon’s magical possessions, such as his famous ring and the Philosopher’s Stone. The author examines the supernatural powers granted to Solomon by his ring, which he received from the angel Gabriel, including command over animals, weather, and demons, and explores in detail Solomon’s power over genies and djinns. Following the esoteric threads hidden within the primary sources on Solomon, Lecouteux reveals the work of Solomon the Magician, exploring his amulets, remedies, exorcisms, charms, and his influence on Arab and Western magic. Providing illustrations of sigils, talismans, and other magic symbols related to Solomon, the author examines the schools of Solomonic Folkloremagic and works such as The Greater and Lesser Keys of Solomon the King and The Hygromancy of Solomon. He then looks at the extensive presence of Solomon in folklore worldwide, including in Armenia, Israel, Malaysia, Eastern Europe, Russia, Morocco, India, Mongolia, and among the Abyssinians of Ethiopia and the Copts in Egypt. He also looks at Solomon’s role within the Bulgarian tradition from which the Cathars derived. Painting an in-depth portrait of Solomon the Magician-King, Lecouteux reveals how this legendary magus left a deep impression upon the occult, magical traditions, and philosophies of the ancient world that can still be felt to this day.

Book Description
This is the biography of Elon Musk that everyone has been waiting for... He is a man who needs no introduction. He's the billionaire tech mogul who founded SpaceX, Tesla, and Neuralink. He's also the guy who tweeted that he was going to take Tesla private and then didn't. And he's the guy who smoked weed on a Joe Rogan podcast. But before he was all that, Elon Musk was just a kid from South Africa with a big dream. He wanted to make the world a better place, and he figured the best way to do that was to start a bunch of companies that would revolutionize the way we live, work, and travel. So, without further ado, I present to you the funny version of Elon Musk's biography: Elon Musk was born in Pretoria, South Africa, in 1971. He was a bright kid, but he was also a bit of a nerd. He loved computers and science fiction, and he dreamed of one day going to Mars. When Elon was 12 years old, he sold his first computer program for $500. He used the money to buy a new computer, and he was off to the races. After high school, Elon moved to Canada to attend Queen's University. He later transferred to the University of Pennsylvania, where he received bachelor's degrees in physics and economics. After college, Elon moved to Silicon Valley to start his first company, Zip2. Zip2 was a web software company that provided maps and business directories to online newspapers. Zip2 was acquired by Compaq Computers in 1999 for $307 million. After selling Zip2, Elon started X.com, an online financial services company. X.com merged with Confinity in 2000 to form PayPal, which specialized in transferring money online. PayPal was acquired by eBay in 2002 for $1.5 billion. In 2002, Elon founded SpaceX, an aerospace manufacturer and space transport services company. SpaceX has developed launch vehicles and spacecraft that are designed to reduce the cost of space travel and enable the colonization of Mars. In 2008, Elon became the CEO of Tesla Motors, an electric car company that he had invested in in 2004. Tesla has become the world's leading electric car company, and its products are known for their long range, performance, and advanced technology. Elon Musk is a visionary entrepreneur who is passionate about using technology to solve some of the world's biggest problems. He is also a bit of a goofball. Here are a few funny Elon Musk quotes: "I think the best way to predict the future is to create it." "If you're not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you've launched too late." "I'm not a genius. I'm just a guy who works really hard." "I'm not afraid of failure. I've failed so many times, I've lost all fear of it." "I'm not a politician. I'm an engineer." Elon Musk is a complex and fascinating figure. He's a brilliant entrepreneur, a visionary leader, and a bit of a goofball. He's also one of the most influential people in the world today. So, next time you're thinking about Elon Musk, just remember that he's just a guy who's trying to make the world a better place, one tweet at a time.

Book Description
Solomon, the legend goes, had a magic ring which enabled him to speak to the animals in their own language. Konrad Lorenz was gifted with a similar power of understanding the animal world. He was that rare beast, a brilliant scientist who could write (and indeed draw) beautifully. He did more than any other person to establish and popularize the study of how animals behave, receiving a Nobel Prize for his work. King Solomon's Ring, the book which brought him worldwide recognition, is a delightful treasury of observations and insights into the lives of all sorts of creatures, from jackdaws and water-shrews to dogs, cats and even wolves. Charmingly illustrated by Lorenz himself, this book is a wonderfully written introduction to the world of our furred and feathered friends, a world which often provides an uncanny resemblance to our own. A must for any animal-lover!

Book Description
Some are blind from birth, while others, like Helen Keller, are blinded by illness. Still others lose sight through accidents or progressive disease. I submit no one would choose to go through life without sight. And yet the church today is certainly blindfolded. I do not believe the blindness of the church happened suddenly. There have been brilliant moves of God in the church since the Lord’s ascension. However, it has been a slow, methodical process whereby a blindfold has slipped over the eyes of discernment, and the church chooses to remain in the dark. Why would anyone choose to remain blind? Think of it this way. A child born blind cannot describe the experience of seeing a beautiful rose, the glow of a sunset, the majesty of snowcapped mountains, or a crashing waterfall. There is no desire for sight, having never experienced the sensation. For those that see, we would never choose to be blind and remain so. A blindfold suggests that something has willfully been placed over the eyes to prevent sight. The enemy has not only pulled the blindfold over the spiritual eyes of the church but deceived her into thinking she can still see. Jesus Christ was sent to heal the brokenhearted, preach deliverance to the captives, and recover sight to the blind. May we, the church of the living God, remove the blindfold and once again charge forth with the gospel to a lost and dying world.
