Soon the family's world of carefully guarded royal privilege is swept up in the chaos of revolution and forced exodus. Over the next four years, as she endures the deaths of family members, starvation, and brutal forced labour, Raami clings to the only remaining vestige of childhood - the mythical legends and poems told to her by her father. In a climate of systematic violence where memory is sickness and justification for execution, Raami fights for her improbable survival. Displaying the author's extraordinary gift for language, In the Shadow of the Banyanis testament to the transcendent power of narrative and a brilliantly wrought tale of human resilience. 'In the Shadow of the Banyanis one of the most extraordinary and beautiful acts of storytelling I have ever encountered' Chris Cleave, author of The Other Hand 'Ratner is a fearless writer, and the novel explores important themes such as power, the relationship between love and guilt, and class.

Combining New Testament study with the terseness of thriller writing, Theissen conveys the Gospel story in the imaginative prose of a novel. This is a story of our times, or how the gospels might have turned out if they were written by John Le Carre: racy, readable and full of incident.
Jerusalem, year zero. Flea belongs to a gang of teenage vagrants living in the shadow of the Temple, with no family and no home, living on their wits and what they can beg or steal. The city is crowded with visitors for Passover and governed by an uneasy alliance between the Temple priests and the occupying Roman army, bringing talk of miracles and revolution. Flea and his comrades latch onto the newcomer in the hope that he'll offer them a secure home. As events accumulate and powerful forces gather around the Magician, Flea notices rumblings of discontent among his followers, and finds himself torn between one of them—the protective Jude, who employs Flea to run errands—and a brutal Roman spy determined to uncover the Magician's plans. Is the Magician the savior he claims to be, or a fraud? Does Flea hold the fate of the Magician—and possibly the world—in his hands, as he begins to believe? Temple Boys vividly conjures up ancient Jerusalem and the Biblical era and boldly re-imagines the western world's most famous story from the point of view of a teenage boy.

Chosen before birth to uphold the desperate deal her ancestor struck to save his people, Sera must leave behind her life and offer herself to the Primal of Death as his Consort.

The earliest Jerusalem Church in the 30's AD was composed of Jews who knew the Law and the Prophets by heart. The rabbis had declared in the Talmud, "All the prophets prophesied of nothing but of the days of the Christ." Although there were no written New-Testament scriptures for two or three decades, the most powerful Church Christianity has ever seen, was able to find Christ abundantly in the Old Testament. As the apostles faded off the scene, knowledge of the books of the Law of Moses began to diminish and wither. Some modern Christan denominations today almost completely disregard Moses. Dennis Moel asserts that this ignorance has hampered the Church. Moel has plumbed the riches of the Law to give us delightful and insightful pictures of God's deep meanings from the Old Covenant, unearthing dozens of facts about the Temple that will thrill you. He has gone BACK to the New Testament.
Shri Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’, like all romantic poets is in general a poet who is strong willed and intelligent and possesses a mind which is unusually subtle. While going through his poetry, and more so his nature-poetry, we come across nature sympathetically with unusual unrepudiable emotional response. Moreover, it stands in sharp contrast to the rationalistic moods. Nishank is fond of personifying nature and is simply desirous to associate with the beauteous forms of the world that coexist with the laws and order of the universe. When Nishank fuses the scientific and religious notion, it purports to the metaphysical notion, which is adapted to the natural design of the cosmos. Hence, through this choicest collection of his poems, Nishank agrees to the universal phenomenon that nature provides an influence which spontaneously refines and purifies the soul of human generation. A ‘must read’ collection of representative poems of Shri Nishank.
