When a family moves into a remote high-tech mansion equipped with next-generation artificial intelligence that can control the house’s every function—a buried secret leads to terrifying and catastrophic consequences.

The Doors of the Mansions
Author: Minister Redd
Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 0595340296
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 81
Book Description
How much spiritual enlightenment do you have concerning the Many Mansions Jesus spoke about in John 14:2 when he said, "In My Father's House are Many Mansions?" Because those Mansions that Jesus makes reference to are all the born-again humans that have become "new creatures" in Christ Jesus, who is the Father's Spiritual House. Located on, around, and in these Mansions are doors that the owner built so that the Mansions may be entered legally. Therefore, by virtue of the existence of a door, anyone who enters another's property without the use of a door or permission from the owner with the intent to remove or replace items not authorized by the owner is considered to be a thief and a robber by Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as written in John 10:1. In this book, The Doors of the Mansions, Minister Redd gives spiritual enlightenment on some devices 2Cor 2:11 Satan and other unclean spirits utilize to re-enter Luke 11:24 a Man's life after being born again a "New Creature in Christ Jesus".

Languages : en
Pages : 292
Book Description
Pulitzer Prize Finalist | New York Times Bestseller | A Read with Jenna Today Show Book Club Pick | A New York Times Book Review Notable Book | TIME Magazine's 100 Must-Read Books of the Year Named one of the Best Books of the Year by NPR, The Washington Post; O: The Oprah Magazine, Real Simple, Good Housekeeping, Vogue, Refinery29, and Buzzfeed From Ann Patchett, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Commonwealth, comes a powerful, richly moving story that explores the indelible bond between two siblings, the house of their childhood, and a past that will not let them go. The Dutch House is the story of a paradise lost, a tour de force that digs deeply into questions of inheritance, love and forgiveness, of how we want to see ourselves and of who we really are. At the end of the Second World War, Cyril Conroy combines luck and a single canny investment to begin an enormous real estate empire, propelling his family from poverty to enormous wealth. His first order of business is to buy the Dutch House, a lavish estate in the suburbs outside of Philadelphia. Meant as a surprise for his wife, the house sets in motion the undoing of everyone he loves. The story is told by Cyril’s son Danny, as he and his older sister, the brilliantly acerbic and self-assured Maeve, are exiled from the house where they grew up by their stepmother. The two wealthy siblings are thrown back into the poverty their parents had escaped from and find that all they have to count on is one another. It is this unshakeable bond between them that both saves their lives and thwarts their futures. Set over the course of five decades, The Dutch House is a dark fairy tale about two smart people who cannot overcome their past. Despite every outward sign of success, Danny and Maeve are only truly comfortable when they’re together. Throughout their lives they return to the well-worn story of what they’ve lost with humor and rage. But when at last they’re forced to confront the people who left them behind, the relationship between an indulged brother and his ever-protective sister is finally tested.
