Blessed are the Peace Keepers, for they will be called God's Children. [Matthew; 5:9] It is from this Biblical saying that Harold Coyle has taken the title of his new novel, God's Children. Yet peacekeeping is not child's play. A tale of high-tech warfare set in near-future Slovakia, God's Children is the story of the 3rd Platoon, C Company, 2nd Battalion of the 13th Infantry, and two young officers who try to keep a peace that is falling apart before their very eyes. Simultaneously an action-filled adventure and a study of contemporary issues facing today's soldier, this novel displays Coyle's vast knowledge of military affairs through thrilling yet realistic scenes. Proving once again that Coyle is a master of military fiction, God's Children is as timeless as war itself. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
(**Updated in 2015 - chapter 'Circumcision of Religion', plus recent HIV statistics and new cover art**) Shortlisted for the coveted Polari First Book Prize, this atypical non-fiction emotional roller coaster by Vernal Scott, a gay activist Londoner and former head of HIV services, is earning high praise from enthusiastic readers. His writing is soulful, raw, and unashamedly human. Forcefully revealing gay people as holistic, multi-racial and sexual, he also recalls the horror caused by AIDS and undeserved shaming by 'ruinous religion'. But there is much much more. Following a wide-ranging prologue, this dramatic true story starts out in happy but poor 1930s Jamaica. Scott's 'Windrush'-generation parents move to 1950s London, where the substance of this 550-page biog-come-novel really begins, taking the reader up to the present day. Tragedies and taboo issues are frequent and there are no fictional characters or scenarios, so you find yourself immersed in the emotional authenticity of each page. The mood could be described as dark and disturbing in places (e.g. a graphic and deeply worrying boyhood voodoo protection ritual), but the issues are always starkly human: unrequited love, hate, and loss; sex, sexuality and 'coming out'; religion and homosexuality; disease, death and dying; domestic violence and borderline child chastisement/abuse; divorce; racism and homophobia; prejudice and equality challenges at home and abroad; gay/lesbian baby-making and parenting; fathers and family court; mental health, depression and suicidal bids. Even voodoo and the paranormal make a surprising (and very convincing!) appearance, as does the likes of HRH Diana, Princess of Wales, among others. In their respective forewords, Lord Paul Boateng says the book has "a searing honesty", and Peter Tatchell, the renowned human rights activist, refers to it as "painful and shocking in its exposure of raw prejudice." Sir Nick Partridge, CEO of the Terrence Higgins Trust, describes the book as "remarkable, sobering and powerful." Scott rips into 'shame-inducing religion', but most compellingly, he relives the truly horrific impact of HIV and AIDS on both gay and heterosexual communities in the 80s and 90s. With 75 million people directly affected around the globe, including 35 million deaths, God's Other Children captures the essence and relevance of World AIDS Day; walking in Scott's shoes, the reader lives the pain and tears of too many premature goodbyes caused by a terrifying and merciless killer disease. Finding himself at the forefront of the response to the crisis, he recalls the period as "a conveyor belt of death and dying"; acknowledges HIV as a virus of equal opportunity; and sees the pain it causes as human, not gay, straight, black, or white. Setting out the national and international statistics, he further states: "Every day is World AIDS Day; there are real people behind the horrendous numbers." The various accounts make tearful, heartbreaking reading, especially when AIDS comes home... Emotionally scarred by the 'AIDS war years', Scott's subsequent journey into gay fatherhood delivers its own challenges, and compounded by an avalanche of deaths, he begins to play (sexual) Russian roulette with his life. But will his waning Christian faith rescue him? He says of religion: "Even dead sheep would be compelled to question it". God's Other Children: A London Memoir includes scores of previously unpublished London-shot photos, which add extra vibrancy to an already thumping read, including those of the historic six thousand-person strong Reach Out & Touch UK AIDS Vigil, and liaisons with legendary ladies of song, such as Whitney Houston, Dionne Warwick, and Gloria Gaynor. A triumphant if tragic debut, the Polari judges and ordinary readers are full of praise for good reason. Both the book and its author are deserving of the highest possible commendation. Expect to be informed, moved, inspired and (inadvertently) entertained.
An in-depth look at a God who not only loves, but is love. Love has come to mean many things. It’s used to describe emotions. It’s the glue for relationships. It frames countless stories. And the greatest of these stories opens before time began and echoes throughout eternity. It’s the story of God’s unrelenting, overwhelming love for His people. Yet the truth of love is even more majestic, more staggering, and more extraordinary than we can understand: God doesn’t just love us. He is love. Renowned theologian and teacher Dr. R.C. Sproul takes a remarkable look at this most profound truth. God’s Love delves deep into Scripture to explore this dynamic attribute of God, which finds its ultimate expression in His Son. Dr. Sproul also examines seeming paradoxes of God, such as a loving God and divine hate, and how love coexists with His sovereignty. Practical, insightful, and revolutionary, God’s Love compels and calls us to reflect His nature of unconditional love.
What Is God Like? by Rachel Held Evans,Matthew Paul Turner Pdf
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The late, beloved Rachel Held Evans answers many children's first question about God in this gorgeous picture book, fully realized by her friend Matthew Paul Turner, the bestselling author of When God Made You. Children who are introduced to God, through attending church or having loved ones who speak about God, often have a lot of questions, including this ever-popular one: What is God like? The late Rachel Held Evans loved the Bible and loved showing God’s love through the words and pictures found in that ancient text. Through these pictures from the Bible, children see that God is like a shepherd, God is like a star, God is like a gardener, God is like the wind, and more. God is a comforter and support. And whenever a child is unsure, What Is God Like? encourages young hearts to “think about what makes you feel safe, what makes you feel loved, and what makes you feel brave. That's what God is like.”

When a young peasant girl is injured while hunting, she meets a strange, magical man who is a member of a despised race - Mujar. Truemen scorn the shape-shifting unmen for their odd, humble ways, and envy their power over the elements. Mujar do not use their powers for good or evil, they simply exist, immortal and apparently purposeless. Now a scourge is sweeping the land, armies of mounted warriors who cannot be defeated are wiping out Truemankind without mercy. They are known as the Black Riders, but no one knows where they come from or why they seem bent on exterminating every man, woman and child. Talsy traps the Mujar with gold, which has an odd effect on them, to make him help her, but her father intends to throw him in a Pit, from which he will be unable to escape. Talsy does not believe the Mujar deserves such a fate, so she frees him and begs him to take her with him on his journey. He agrees, and they set off across Shamarese, continuing his quest to find an old hermit's lost son. There is far more at stake than Talsy realises, however, and she has innocently stumbled upon the last free Mujar, who has the power to decide the fate of her race.
God's Other Children; a Spiritual Journey in Gay Life by Tara L. Molina Pdf
This book will take you on a spiritual journey into the life of the authors experiences of being gay and Christian in America. It will focus on the taboos associated with homosexuality and the Bible based on the authors own personal opinions, and offer ways of overcoming societys negative views on the subject. This story focuses on the authors life growing up in a conservative Baptist church in a small, rural town where homosexuality was considered to be the greatest of all abominations before God. The writer delves deep inside her soul to share the ups and downs of struggling for nearly 30 years, trying to cope with being a lesbian. Ultimately culminating with the author discovering Jesus Christ, and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, gaining a sort of self-acceptance and peace of mind that allowed her to become comfortable with being a gay Christian. The goal of this work is to hopefully help other lesbians and gays find Gods purpose for their lives, and to help non-gays understand the trials and tribulations of the gay community, to gain acceptance, and quell all misconceptions of Gods other children.
Inspired by the international bestseller of the same name, Children's Letters To God is a musical that follows the lives of five young friends as they voice beliefs, desires, questions and doubts common to all people but most disarmingly expressed by children. Sixteen tuneful songs and assorted scenes (some based on actual letters) explore timeless issues such as sibling rivalry, divorce, holidays, loss of a beloved pet, the trials of being unathletic and first love. This entertaining show carries a universal message which crosses the boundaries of age, geography, and religion. As in the best-selling book, the musical is not specifically religious in nature. It's about kids and various events in their lives that lead them to ask a lot of questions -- some funny, some serious, some surprising.
