The Fourfold Gospel Section Ii the Beginning
Author: Beginnings
Author: Meir ShalevPublisher: Harmony
ISBN: 0307717194
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
The bestselling and prize-winning Israeli author Meir Shalev describes the many "firsts" of the Bible – the first love and the first death, to the first laugh and the first dream – providing a fresh, secular and surprising look at the stories we think we know. The first kiss in the Bible is not a kiss of love. The first love in the Bible is not the love of a man and a woman. The first hatred in the Bible is the hatred of a man toward his wife. The first laugh in the Bible is also the last. In Beginnings, Meir Shalev reintroduces us to the heroes and heroines of the Old Testament, exploring these and many more of the Bible’s unexpected "firsts." Combining penetrating wit, deep empathy, and impressive knowledge of the Bible, he probes each episode to uncover nuances and implications that a lesser writer would overlook, and his nontraditional, nonreligious interpretations of the famous stories of the Bible take them beyond platitudes and assumptions to the love, fear, tragedy, and inspiration at their heart. Literary, inquisitive, and honest, Shalev makes these stories come alive in all their complicated beauty, and though these stories are ancient, their resonance remains intensely contemporary.

Book Description
Asa Mulvaney is half of a psychopathic whole. He and his twin brother live together, party together…kill together. In the Mulvaney family, murder is the family business and business is good. So, when an experiment separates Asa and his brother, Asa is forced to navigate the world on his own for the first time in his life. Zane Scott is a small-time crime blogger, but he dreams of a byline in a major paper and his suspicions surrounding Thomas Mulvaney are about to make that dream a reality. When an invitation to a boring fundraiser lands him not beside Thomas, as he had hoped, but Asa Mulvaney, they share an intensely passionate encounter that leaves Zane trapped in a cage of his own making. At a nearby college, a cluster of suicides isn’t what it seems. When Asa’s father asks him to look into it, he sees the perfect opportunity to exploit his little crime reporter and make him fall in line. And Asa needs him to fall in line. Zane is suspicious of Asa’s motives and half-convinced he’s dead either way, but he won’t say no to a chance to peek behind the Mulvaney family curtains. As the two unravel a sinister plot, Asa’s obsession with Zane grows and Zane finds being Asa’s sole focus outweighs almost anything, maybe even his career—which is good for Asa because loving a Mulvaney is a full-time job. Can he convince Zane that he’s worth navigating a family of psychopaths and tolerating an almost too close for comfort twin? Or will Zane learn the hard way that the Mulvaney boys always get what they want? Always. Headcase is a high heat, intense, lovers-to-frenemies, psychopath romance with an HEA and no cliffhangers. It features an obsessive, calculating psychopath and a wannabe reporter who will stop at nothing to earn himself a major byline. As always, there’s gratuitous violence, very dark humor, enough killers to fill an auditorium, and enough heat to melt your kindle. This is book four in the Necessary Evils series. Each book follows a different couple.

Book Description
1 Then Methuselah went on to describe the beginnings of Satan as he explained: " After our Father, Son, and Holy Spirit brought forth that musical angel from their very own glory, they placed him far above all of the other hosts so he could be their example. 2 And that illuminated son of our Godhead's greatest brightness was very sure to stand so very tall that all of heaven's troopers were bound to be filled with the greatest awe. 3 So it was destined that it would be that chief cherub alone, who would gladly hold the highest office of our Lord's most anointed light bringer. And he would stand by the throne of God both day and night, and most of the time in between as well. 4 But that son of the morning-after would never be fated to stand still, as that musik master played his tabret and pipes like a one man band, who was all strung out by the beauty of a minute waltz that was coming forth like wildfire in half of that time. 5 Then he wrote the very first songs that all of heavenly hosts gladly sang, while the bells of Heaven's temple happily rang, and rang. But that musical genius also wrote the sweetest kind of songs that made the most reserved angels to dance, helping them to be willing to move like the fastest wind as they took that most breezy chance. 6 He even put the melody together while penning some very special words of love; Nor would his love songs to our Lord ever fail to be exalted way above our planet's doves. 7 For he was Heaven's spirit of music, who wrote songs of praise and beautiful things. 8 And that lyricist even wrote the worship songs that caused all of Heaven to sing. 9 So his talent went before him all the way down to earth; Nor would there ever be any other created being that could ever compare musically to his ever matchless worth. " And it came about that Lucifer soon pulled a Darth Vader and joined the dark side. But in all seriousness that was also the very moment when his destiny was cemented in as a being that would become the laughing stock of the universe in a day to come. So dare to read all about his start according to ancient scrolls which paint him in such a clear light that even Hell with all of it's fire would be made to seem pretty dark in comparison. overshadowed.
The Testimony of the Son of Man and the Beginning of His Millennial Reign on Earth

Pages : 394
Book Description
The Testimony of the Son of Man and the Beginning of His Millennial Reign on Earth Vol. II by Dr. Solomon Udo Solomon The theme of The Testimony of the Son of Man is the restoration of the everlasting Gospel of the Kingdom of God on Earth, as was brought down by Yeshua the Lamb of Yahweh, for the redemption of the entire humanity. The impetus to write this series of books came to the author by a dream of inspiration. In that dream, Dr. Solomon Udo Solomon was directed to preach only what Jesus taught the world. Dr. Solomon went through the Synoptic Gospels first, then the Epistles of the accredited witnesses, and finally the Book of Revelations. Dr. Solomon’s understanding was quickened. Finally, he decided to read the letters of Saul of Tarsus. He saw a whole world of contradictions from what Jesus, as the Son of Man, taught the world. Dr. Solomon then understood why the Lord laid emphasis on what He Himself taught the world, as well as the very essence of the mandate given to him. Dr. Solomon understood the need to inform the world of his revelations. This is in keeping with what Jesus Himself said: “And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached to all nations as a witness against them, and then shall the end come.” The Gospel of the Kingdom, which is the Gospel of ‘Lawfulness and Peace,’ is what Jesus Himself taught the world in His words, examples and customs. The present messages in churches and other organizations are composites of wheat and tares, because of their choice to flout the Lord’s order in the Gospel of Matthew, Chapter 28, verse 20, under the purported inspiration of their false prophet. This work is in strict consistency with the mandate that was given to Dr. Solomon. The readers will know that there was a gross distortion of the Mission of Yeshua the Lamb of Yahweh to the world, especially His actual work of redemption. The cross of the murderers, which is being extolled, has no contribution to make for the redemption of mankind. This work is intended to free those who care to accept it from the sin of accomplice, which has constituted a plague to the whole world. The false information peddled by the false prophet, will eventually be discarded to pave way for the New World Order, which rests squarely on what the Lamb of Yahweh bequeathed to the world. This is the much-needed foundation for the Lord’s return to set His Millennial Government on Earth. This work shall awaken the consciousness in the elects to preach only what the Lord Himself taught the world, notwithstanding the temptation to believe and propagate the unscriptural letters of Saul of Tarsus.

The Beginning of Wisdom
Author: Leon KassPublisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 0743242998
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 722
Book Description
Imagine that you could really understand the Bible...that you could read, analyze, and discuss the book of Genesis not as a compositional mystery, a cultural relic, or a linguistic puzzle palace, or even as religious doctrine, but as a philosophical classic, precisely in the same way that a truth-seeking reader would study Plato or Nietzsche. Imagine that you could be led in your study by one of America's preeminent intellectuals and that he would help you to an understanding of the book that is deeper than you'd ever dreamed possible, that he would reveal line by line, verse by verse the incredible riches of this illuminating text -- one of the very few that actually deserve to be called seminal. Imagine that you could get, from Genesis, the beginning of wisdom. The Beginning of Wisdom is a hugely learned book that, like Genesis itself, falls naturally into two sections. The first shows how the universal history described in the first eleven chapters of Genesis, from creation to the tower of Babel, conveys, in the words of Leon Kass, "a coherent anthropology" -- a general teaching about human nature -- that "rivals anything produced by the great philosophers." Serving also as a mirror for the reader's self-discovery, these stories offer profound insights into the problematic character of human reason, speech, freedom, sexual desire, the love of the beautiful, pride, shame, anger, guilt, and death. Something as seemingly innocuous as the monotonous recounting of the ten generations from Adam to Noah yields a powerful lesson in the way in which humanity encounters its own mortality. In the story of the tower of Babel are deep understandings of the ambiguous power of speech, reason, and the arts; the hazards of unity and aloneness; the meaning of the city and its quest for self-sufficiency; and man's desire for fame, immortality, and apotheosis -- and the disasters these necessarily cause. Against this background of human failure, Part Two of The Beginning of Wisdom explores the struggles to launch a new human way, informed by the special Abrahamic covenant with the divine, that might address the problems and avoid the disasters of humankind's natural propensities. Close, eloquent, and brilliant readings of the lives and educations of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Jacob's sons reveal eternal wisdom about marriage, parenting, brotherhood, education, justice, political and moral leadership, and of course the ultimate question: How to live a good life? Connecting the two "parts" is the book's overarching philosophical and pedagogical structure: how understanding the dangers and accepting the limits of human powers can open the door to a superior way of life, not only for a solitary man of virtue but for an entire community -- a life devoted to righteousness and holiness. This extraordinary book finally shows Genesis as a coherent whole, beginning with the creation of the natural world and ending with the creation of a nation that hearkens to the awe-inspiring summons to godliness. A unique and ambitious commentary, a remarkably readable literary exegesis and philosophical companion, The Beginning of Wisdom is one of the most important books in decades on perhaps the most important -- and surely the most frequently read -- book of all time.
