Book Description
In this fictional novel, mankind is entrusted with the vicegerency by the Creator, to the dismay of Iblis the protagonist of this story, who later becomes the archenemy of mankind, seeking every opportunity to defeat and destroy the enemy. Heavenly Concerns reaches its climax when Iblis renders mankind submissive, passive and indifferent. Thus, the journey to explore the roots of mankind then extends further into the far future to uncover the inevitable the eventual demise of mankind. Original and intriguing, this unique novel introduces readers to creative ideas on the concept of God, the purpose of human existence and where it is heading, the true origin of deception, eternity, and whether demise or immortality is characteristic of human souls. As they immerse in this thought-provoking read, they will be exposed to a mesmerizing voyage in space and time full of intriguing science fiction scenes, encounters with beings from other dimensions, and previously unknown accounts and deliberations of the divine court and the news of the divine. Through Heavenly Concerns, the author invites readers to enter a new reality therein free of the blurring effect of the veils of deception and falsehood. Thereto, a new reality is exposed full of promise, excitement, and hope.
Out There

Pages : 454
Book Description
Out There addresses the theme of cultural marginalization - the process whereby various groups are excluded from access to and participation in the dominant culture. It engages fundamental issues raised by attempts to define such concepts as mainstream, minority, and "other," and opens up new ways of thinking about culture and representation. All of the texts deal with questions of representation in the broadest sense, encompassing not just the visual but also the social and psychological aspects of cultural identity. Included are important theoretical writings by Homi Bhabha, Helene Cixous, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, and Monique Wittig. Their work is juxtaposed with essays on more overtly personal themes, often autobiographical, by Gloria Anzaldua, Bell Hooks, and Richard Rodriguez, among others. This rich anthology brings together voices from many different marginalized groups - groups that are often isolated from each other as well as from the dominant culture. It joins issues of gender, race, sexual preference, and class in one forum but without imposing a false unity on the diverse cultures represented. Each piece in the book subtly changes the way every other piece is read. While several essays focus on specific issues in art, such as John Yau's piece on Wilfredo Lam in the Museum of Modern Art, or James Clifford's on collecting art, others draw from debates in literature, film, and critical theory to provide a much broader context than is usually found in work aimed at an art audience. Topics range from the functions of language to the role of public art in the city, from gay pornography to the meanings of black hair styles. Out There also includes essays by Rosalyn Deutsche, Richard Dyer, Kobena Mercer, Edward Said, Gayatri Spivak, Gerald Vizenor and Simon Watney, as well as by the editors.

Book Description
Few people imagine themselves doing what Gwen and Suzanne are doing—raising thirteen children between their two respective families, with seven of their kids arriving by way of adoption. But Gwen and Suzanne didn’t imagine themselves doing it either—not until they took one simple step of biblical obedience, followed by the next step, which led to the next step, until God turned each of these believing steps into a full, steadily enriching journey of togetherness, challenge, friendship, love, adventure, tears, faith, confidence. All the makings of an impossibly joyful life. And for those who find themselves stuck somewhere between fear and inferiority, between doubt and disillusionment, tired of bare spiritual minimums but unable to spot a path that takes them to anything more meaningful, the simplicity of this message could finally reveal how God can work through their ordinary selves and their uncertain steps of surrender to make His presence overwhelmingly known in their lives. From China to Uganda, east and west throughout the United States, with daily, hourly, moment-by-moment prayer excursions between earth and heaven, these stories and their humble beginnings will inspire you to start again, right where you are—embracing the one opportunity for obedience, love, or service that’s staring you in the face today, and watching God stretch it (and you) into something (and into someone) that you never imagined possible.

Book Description
In a future Brittany, Elin and Talla, the main characters, take parallel pilgrimages from the extreme west to their destination, Mont St. Michel. For both of them, it is a growing experience. Talla leaves her town after her grandmother's tragic death to find her aunt she has never met. The town's people don't trust her and think she has run off with her grandmother's inheritance that doesn't just belong to her. This inheritance is plastic bags which in this time are valuable treasures. Two young cousins follow her. Talla is alone and afraid until she meets up with Fen and his young sister Darling, both walking east. Fen has a treasure, too, books that belonged to his father. The three decide to continue their journey together, although Darling, at first, is suspicious of Talla. The walk is long and sometimes dangerous. Fen is separated from the two girls for several days, and Talla and Darling must learn to get along and work together to survive. They manage but are happy when Fen finds them again. Continuing their journey, they avoid other people when possible. Unfortunately, Talla's cousins are still following her. The trio follows the northern boundary of Brittany, staying fairly close to the coast. They meet Lance and are introduced to the Arthurian legend. Later, they help a grumpy man living alone who offers Darling a dog. Darling is ecstatic, but Fen is reticent. Just before arriving at Michelmont, tragedy spoils the end of their journey. Talla finds the aunt she was hoping to find at Miklemont. Elin leaves her home, also, after a tragedy. The man she was to marry died suddenly and her life seemed to be over. She first stops on her way east to visit an old friend, Rozenn, who is pregnant and waiting for her husband to return. Elin stays with her friend until the baby is born and the husband returns. Her visit over, Elin sets off for Miklemont (Mont St. Michel), and a new life begins for her. She becomes a companion to an invalid woman who teaches her herbal medicine. Later, as she wanders in the fields around Miklemont, she meets Leyla. Mona and Leyla were once friends but became rivals. Elin learns from both of them and in time she discovers the reason for their disaccord. They were in love with the same man. As the years pass, Elin finds her place in the workings of the Mont. She meets Jon. He becomes a perfect friend and something more, although she has difficulty forgetting her long-lost love. When Talla arrives, they are reunited - Elin is Talla's aunt. Talla has found family, and Elin has the chance to find in Talla a renewal with her family she left on bad terms so long ago.
