Fiendish Schemes by K. W. Jeter Pdf

In 1986 K. W. Jeter coined the term "steampunk," applying it to his first Victorian-era science fiction alternate-history adventure. At last he has returned with Fiendish Schemes, a tale of George Dower, son of the inventor of Infernal Devices, who has been in new self-imposed exile...accumulating debts. The world Dower left when he went into hiding was significantly simpler than the new, steam-powered Victorian London, a mad whirl of civilization filled with gadgets and gears in the least expected places. After accepting congratulations for his late father's grandest invention—a walking, steam-powered lighthouse—Dower is enticed by the prospect of financial gain into a web of intrigue with ominously mysterious players who have nefarious plans of which he can only guess. If he can locate and make his father's Vox Universalis work as it was intended, his future, he is promised, is assured. But his efforts are confounded by the strange Vicar Stonebrake, who promises him aid, but is more interested in converting sentient whales to Christianity—and making money—than in helping George. Drugged, arrested, and interrogated by men, women, and the steam-powered Prime Minister, Dower is trapped in a maelstrom of secrets, corruption, and schemes that threaten to drown him in the chaos of this mad new world. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Fooling Ourselves with Fig Leaves by Edoardo S. Miciano Pdf

In his letter to the church in Galatia, the Apostle Paul addresses the inefficacy of religious tradition for salvation and reaffirms the completeness of Jesus Christ's redemptive work for our deliverance and righteousness. Fooling Ourselves with Fig Leaves is an attempt to take the message of the Galatian epistle and apply it to today's spiritual context. In it, the author takes us through a journey of discovery and insight as he exposes the deceptive nature of religion, and highlights efficacy of justification by grace through faith. As a professor and pastor, Miciano writes with a desire to be faithful to the integrity of the ancient text while being mindful of the needs of believers and seekers today. This makes for an engaging read in exploring the age-old pursuit of knowing God and enjoying him forever.

Faith is Stranger Than Fiction by Steve Halliday Pdf

A fascinating collection of true stories proving the omnipotence and immutability of God. He calls His people to live by faith, placing full trust in Him. In practice, this often means that our Lord wants us to take a step away from actions that the world considers logical and prudent and instead trust Him to work things out in unexpected ways that better glorify Him. Our God cannot be placed in a little box always doing what we want Him to do, or acting exactly the way we want Him to act. He is sovereign and will respond in His own way. That's part of the awesome magnificence of God. Job said that God does great things past finding out, and wonders without number. Steve Halliday says the same thing through these stories. After reading, you will agree that truly, Faith Is Stranger Than Fiction!
