The Blood Servant by Jessica Edwards Pdf

For years, creatures have roamed the Earth. For years, they have walked alongside humans as equals. For years, they have lived together in peace until a rebellion occurred not so long ago. Humans who no longer wanted to live amongst the supernatural began a rebellion where their goal was to completely wipe out the supernatural but failed miserably. Now, creatures rule over mankind. As their punishment for the rebellion, humans are to be auctioned and fulfil their life as a blood servant for the rest of their lives.

Servant of the Underworld by Aliette de Bodard Pdf

The first book in the critically acclaimed Obsidian and Blood trilogy: Year One-Knife, Tenochtitlan the capital of the Aztecs. Human sacrifice and the magic of the living blood are the only things keeping the sun in the sky and the earth fertile. A Priestess disappears from an empty room drenched in blood. It should be a usual investigation for Acatl, High Priest of the Dead--except that his estranged brother is involved, and the the more he digs, the deeper he is drawn into the political and magical intrigues of noblemen, soldiers, and priests-and of the gods themselves... REVIEWS: ‘ gripping mystery steeped in blood and ancient Aztec magic. I was enthralled.’ — Sean Williams ‘An Aztec priest of the dead tries to solve a murder mystery, and finds that politics may be even more powerful than magic. A vivid portrayal of an interesting culture in a truly fresh fantasy novel.’ — Kevin J. Anderson ‘Amid the mud and maize of the Mexica empire, Aliette de Bodard has composed a riveting story of murder, magic and sibling rivalry.’ — Elizabeth Bear ‘The world-building is exquisite and we *believe* we are transported to the 15th century Tenotichtlan and together with the superb voice they formed the main reason I enjoyed this book so much... Highly recommended... Ms. de Bodard is a writer to watch.’ — Fantasy Book Critic

Servant of the Blood by K. N. Banet Pdf

I grew up with them, the creatures of the night, the blood suckers, the monsters. The vampires. I knew vampires before I could walk, not that I knew what they really were. I knew they weren't really like me. They looked like me and they could act like me, but we were fundamentally different. I was human, just like my parents, and when I turned eighteen, I decided to work for the vampires after college, too. We had worked for their nest for over five generations and I wanted to continued that tradition. But then, the master of the nest died. He'd practically raised me, my mother, my father, and everyone before us. He had looked at humans working for the nest as part of the nest. We were members of the family, even though we weren't immortal or drank blood. He kept tight control and accidents were so rare I had never seen one happen. The new master of the nest is not so kind or good at the job. We need help. I need help. The new master is letting the vampires get out of control. Bodies are starting to pile up and even the other staff is at risk. I'm Everly Abbott and I need a solution to this before more people get killed.. But the solution might be more dangerous than the problem.

The Servant State by Geoffrey McCormack,Thom Workman Pdf

The global financial and industrial turmoil of recent years has once more brought the crisis-prone nature of the capitalist system to the forefront. In the context of economic stagnation and the retreat of working-class organizations, the rich and powerful around the world have redoubled their attack on the poor through neoliberal policies and austerity measures. In The Servant State, McCormack and Workman explore Canada’s experience through the “age of austerity” and highlight how this experience has been shaped by the exigencies of capitalist development and the catalyzing role of the Canadian state. The analytical standpoint is not that of the oppressed per se, but rather that of capitalism as a whole. They share the condemnation of the capitalist establishment, are appalled by the greed and avarice of the ruling elite and despair at the obscenities of the age; however, the critical spirit of their study is imbued less with a mood of indignation and more with assumptions and sensitivities about the inner tendencies of capitalism and the obliging role of the state. The struggle against contemporary excess and horror, they argue, must be framed with reference to the immuring tendencies of the capitalist order of things.

The Servant's Hand by Bruce Robbins Pdf

A work of innovative literary and cultural history, The Servant's Hand examines the representation of servants in nineteenth-century British fiction. Wandering in the margins of these texts that are not about them, servants are visible only as anachronistic appendages to their masters and as functions of traditional narrative form. Yet their persistence, Robbins argues, signals more than the absence of the "ordinary people" they are taken to represent. Robbins's argument offers a new and distinctive approach to the literary analysis of class, while it also bodies forth a revisionist counterpolitics to the realist tradition from Homer to Virginia Woolf. Originally published in 1986 (Columbia University Press), The Servant's Hand is appearing for the first time in paperback.

The Church of the Servant by Anthony Tyrrell Hanson Pdf

"The theme of Jesus the Servant is a key to much Christian thought nowadays. We have had enough of antiquated myth and conventional jargon; this theme is clear. We have had enough of the Church being identified with snobbery in the West and colonialism in the East; Jesus the Servant is utterly humble. We have had enough of Christians patronizing the world; Jesus the Servant comes with a towel and a cross." --Publisher's Note

You Are My Servant and I Have Chosen You by Jabulani David Gamede Pdf

The book is about the painful hardships, tests, trials, and tribulations the Lord has put me through in the process of my calling, choosing, preparation, and ordination for ministry. It traces my calling at the age of eleven and how, from then, God protected me from the numerous attempts of the enemy to kill me. It looks at my rise to power and prestige as a company executive, my calling into and gifting for full-time ministry, the liquidation of my transport company, my subsequent financial bankruptcy, and my falling into debt and sequestration. Having lost everything I had and fallen into insolvency, the Lord began to teach me what it truly meant to live by faith and to depend on him. The book details how God led me every day by his word and the abundant revelations he showed me and the tools of survival he gave me. It contains also prophecies directed at my countrymen and Church of Christ universal. It shows how God strengthened me to overcome my tribulations, to remain positive, to not lose hope, to get back up again, and how he faithfully began to restore his favor and blessing on me once again.

The Servant of the Lord and His Servant People by Matthew S. Harmon Pdf

It is often recognized that the title "servant" is applied to key figures throughout the Bible, culminating in Jesus Christ. In this New Studies in Biblical Theology volume Matthew Harmon carefully traces this theme from Genesis to Revelation with the intention of seeing how earlier servants point forward to the ultimate Servant. While this servant theme certainly is significant in its own right throughout redemptive history, it also plays a supporting role, enhancing and enriching other themes such as son, prophet, and king. Harmon shows how the title "servant" not only gives us a clearer understanding of Jesus Christ but also has profound implications for our lives as Christians. When we grasp what it means to be servants of Christ, our love for him and our obedience to him deepen. Understanding that the ultimate Servant Jesus Christ indwells his people to empower them to serve others in love has the potential to transform how we interact with fellow believers and the world around us. Addressing key issues in biblical theology, the works comprising New Studies in Biblical Theology are creative attempts to help Christians better understand their Bibles. The NSBT series is edited by D. A. Carson, aiming to simultaneously instruct and to edify, to interact with current scholarship and to point the way ahead.
