Heaven in Conflict by Anthony E. Clark Pdf

One of the most violent episodes of China’s Boxer Uprising was the Taiyuan Massacre of 1900, in which rebels killed foreign missionaries and thousands of Chinese Christians. This first sustained scholarly account of the uprising to focus on Shanxi Province illuminates the religious and cultural beliefs on both sides of the conflict and shows how they came to clash. Although Franciscans were the first Catholics to settle in China, their stories have rarely been explored in accounts of Chinese Christianity. Anthony Clark remedies that exclusion and highlights the roles of Franciscan nuns and their counterparts among the Boxers—the Red Lantern girls—to argue that women’s involvement was integral on both sides of the conflict. Drawing on rich archival records and intertwining religious history with political, cultural, and environmental factors, Clark provides a fresh perspective on a pivotal encounter between China and the West.

War in Heaven by Helen Caldicott,Craig R. Eisendrath Pdf

When most of us think about the potential of outer space for future generations, we think of world communications, satellite navigation, and scientific exploration. U.S. Space Command, however, thinks about weapons. Believing that conflict in space and wars fought from space are inevitable, the president has called on the agency to weaponize outer space and thus provoke an arms race that could cost the United States trillions of dollars and could lead to the demise of the human race. In War in Heaven, a Nobel Prize-nominated peace activist and a former U.S. foreign service officer (who helped write the Outer Space Treaty of 1967) look at the history of military uses of space and the current plans for "militarizing the heavens," including kinetic, laser, nuclear bombardment, and anti-satellite weapons. Contrary to the claims of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld that the United States faces a "space Pearl Harbor," Caldicott and Eisendrath show that the United States itself is today the principal obstruction to passage of an international treaty banning weapons from outer space. At a time when plans to build and deploy space weapons are on the administration's agenda but only just becoming known to the general public, this book will help launch a national discussion of a critical issue.

War In Heaven by Charles Williams Pdf

In War in Heaven Williams gives a contemporary setting to the traditional story of the Search for the Holy Grail. Examining the distinction between magic and religion, this eerily disturbing book graphically portrays a metaphysical journey through the shadowy crevices of the human mind. “Reading Charles Williams is an unforgettable experience.”—SATURDAY REVIEW “...one of the most gifted and influential Christian writers England has produced this century.”—TIME “Charles Williams’s firm conviction that the spiritual world is not simply a reality parallel with that of the material one, but is rather its source and its abiding infrastructure, is explicit in both the manner and matter of all he wrote. Hence the unique contribution offered by his novels to the materialistic age in which these characters live and behave and their plots unfold.”—OWEN BARFIELD “Charles Williams took the form of the thriller and used it to create an extraordinary genre that has sometimes been called ‘spiritual shockers.’ His books are immensely worth reading, even if you consider yourself unspiritual and immune to shock.”—HUMPHREY CARPENTER “...satire, romance, thriller, morality, and glimpses of eternity all rolled into one.”—THE NEW YORK TIMES

War in Heaven by Gavin G. Smith Pdf

The high-powered sequel to VETERAN sees an unlikely hero make an even more unlikely return to take the reader back into a vividly rendered bleak future. But a bleak future where there are still wonders: man travelling out into the universe, Bladerunneresque cities hanging from the ceilings of vast caverns, aliens that we can barely comprehend. Gavin Smith writes fast-moving, incredibly violent SF thrillers but behind the violence and the thrills lies a carefully thought out story and characters who have far more to them than first meets the eye. Never one to avoid controversy Gavin Smith nevertheless invites you to think beyond the initial shock of what you have just read. But in the meantime? Another fire-fight, another chase another flight of imagination.

The War in Heaven: Secrets of the Controlling Elite by Dee Martin Pdf

Ancient Aliens meets The Da Vinci Code: What Alex Jones, Coast to Coast AM and David Wilcock didn't tell you. Ancient conspiracies, secrets and legend: Could ancient secrets have an effect on the polarized human life we live today? What are the origins of the "me too" movement and conflicts between the sexes? Where does the Russian meddling begin and end? From Dan Brown and the Da Vinci Code, Daniel Silva and The Unlikely Spy, to The Illuminatus Trilogy by Robert Shea and Robert Anton Wilson, writers have explored the secrets of religion, government agencies such as the FBI and CIA, the 'deep state', shadow governments and big business as they seek to establish, manage and control the advent of a New World Order. What is their ultimate goal? What truths do they seek to hide? Who is it that truly controls the events that affect human life?This book explores historical elements such as the impact of the Russian Revolution, biblical references and the fall of the Soviet Union as well as the story of Lucifer and the Fallen Angels, the book of Enoch and the role of the Vatican in shaping human history. Organized crime, the Mafia and a deep secret paranormal administrative body that truly influences and guides human kind are also explored as they too seek to exploit humanity in their sinister ambitions. The Narrator is the Author, Dee Martin, drawn innocently into the quest as a scribe, observer and historian but for what ultimate end? The main character is the erudite assassin Mr. French, employed by a deep, secretive administration to re-balance the scales of justice supporting a deep ancient conspiracy while readying the landscape for a final battle. We drift into and out of the backstory of the biblical fall of the Angels referenced but largely written out of the Bible although detailed by a man who walked with God....Enoch. A beautiful young girl taken from her village and exploited during The Fall is explored. The spirit of this long forgotten child is relived through the character of 'The Waif', a gorgeous, sardonic bartender in our modern world with attitude, whose curiosity thrusts her headlong into the story and into a whirlwind romance. 'The Waif' symbolizes the curious, independent and intrepid feminine spirit that seeks to recover from this fall, a spirit subordinated and marginalized throughout time yet a spirit whose time to rise has come. But is it all too late?

Storming Heaven: A Novel by Denise Giardina Pdf

This is the story of the miners and the union they wanted, of the people who loved them and the people who wanted to kill their dreams. Annadel, West Virginia, was a small town rich in coal, farms, and close-knit families, all destroyed when the coal company came in. It stole everything it hadn't bothered to buy—land deeds, private homes, and ultimately, the souls of its men and women. Four people tell this powerful, deeply moving tale: Activist Mayor C. J. Marcum. Fierce, loveless union man Rondal Lloyd. Gutsy nurse Carrie Bishop, who loved Rondal. And lonely, Sicilian immigrant Rosa Angelelli, who lost four sons to the deadly mines. They all bear witness to nearly forgotten events of history, culminating in the final, tragic Battle of Blair Mountain—when the United States Army greeted ten thousand unemployed pro-union miners with airplanes, bombs, and poison gas. It was the first crucial battle of a war that has yet to be won.
