The God Of Chaos by Tom Bradby Pdf

Cairo, June 1942. A city blistering under the lash of a relentless summer and panicked by the implacable advance of Hitler's most talented general, Erwin Rommel. It is the worst possible time and place for the body of a senior British officer to be found in a rubbish bin, bathed in blood. His murder has been made to look like a political assassination by local extremists opposed to British rule, but former New York cop Joe Quinn isn't buying that. He senses more fundamental human emotions at play. For Quinn, it's like old times, a reminder of his past. One he doesn't want to revisit. Thrown out of the New York Police Department as a liability after the tragic death of his son, he probably shouldn't be a cop any longer, but maybe he's just what this case needs. The investigation leads him through the underbelly of an exotic, violent and seedy city to the heart of the Cairo's high command and the possibility that a highly placed spy is feeding the allies' most sensitive secrets to Rommel, waiting out in the desert. Only one woman has seen the killer - an American named Amy White. The trouble is Joe Quinn's already falling for her and if he doesn't stop the spy soon, then not just Amy, but everything else he holds dear is certain to be brutally eliminated ...

The Goddess of Chaos by Cheyenne Bennett Pdf

With betrayal, mysteries, and untruths on every side, who can she trust and will she even make it out alive?Victoria Wells's life is blissful - if not a little dull. However, where ever she goes, chaos seems to follow her. Only her fiancé, Gerald, can keep her balanced. That all changes when Victoria Wells falls asleep in her fiancé's car on the way to their wedding. Hours later, she is woken up - chained to a bed in a strange new world. An eccentric man she had a bizarre encounter with earlier, is standing above her. From there, everything grows more twisted. The strange man tells her that she's in the Underworld of all places. And what's more, she's the powerful and merciless Goddess of Chaos. Could she be having a fever dream, or is everything ... real? With forces vying for her powers, her fiancé - who is truly the God of Chaos - acting increasingly evil and the powers of Chaos itself growing more powerful and unstable in her veins, Victoria isn't convinced that she - or the world itself - will survive an unbalanced Chaos incarnate. Sorcerers, dragons, Gods and Goddesses, romance, and adventure, follow Victoria as she faces a terrifying truth and navigates an increasingly chaotic - and dangerous - existence

The Unified God by Aneeka Richins Pdf

Sixteen-year-old Ki's plan was simple: save her parents, end up with her best friend, De, and live happily ever after. Unfortunately, that happy ever after includes becoming a new god and taking on Rising Chaos, the one the other eight gods failed to defeat. Ki resents the assignment, a fact that hinders her new god powers. If she is to save the world, she needs to actually want to be a god. De has always dreamed of being someone amazing and he jumped at the chance of becoming a new god. Alas, he's just the power source for Ki and he's failing at it. Even worse, there's another power source trying to muscle into his spot. If he doesn't figure a way to prove his worth, he might lose Ki and the godship entirely.

God, Order, and Chaos by Stephen Finamore Pdf

The ideas of Rene Girard are having a profound effect on Christian theology. This book offers a critical introduction to his thought and then uses it to interpret the Book of Revelation. The result is a reading of extraordinary relevance for the contemporary world. Readers of the Apocalypse are often disturbed by the images of destruction in the book and are unsure why these are unleashed after the exaltation of Jesus. This study examines past approaches to these texts and uses Girard's theories to revive some old ideas and propose some new ones. Seen in this light the Apocalypse becomes the story of the ultimate vindication of the victim, a source of hope, and a resource that can be used both to encourage resistance to the destructive forces within culture, and to help the church and the poor to engage constructively with the issues of our day.

A God of Gods by Ashley Chappell Pdf

Chaos has chosen an ending. After stripping Trotter away from the Noevans, the race of people she'd sworn to protect, Chaos forced her into the mythical role of God of Gods. It is now her job to bring Death to all Creation. But something else is planning to use Trotter's dominion over Death to alter the ending Chaos chose... The gods of Realm, terrified of Trotter's new power, are manipulated into making a deal with devils from their ancient past. After thousands of years of imprisonment, however, the Undreams will stop at nothing to exact revenge on the gods and turn the universe back into a nightmare without end. Meanwhile, violence is spreading across the face of Aevum. Temples begin to fall one by one in cities far and wide to inexplicable uprisings. The only perpetrators left behind are nearly catatonic, with mysteriously solid white eyes and repeating the same phrase over and over again: Chaos Dreams, But He Never Sleeps. But even this isn't as unnerving as when the gods begin appearing on their doorstep, ragged and terrified by what horrors they've released.

The Outcast by Louise Cooper Pdf

Tarod alone knew the nature of the supernatural force locked within his soul-and he knew that it must be thwarted, no matter what the sacrifice. Denounced by his fellow adepts as a demon, betrayed even by those he loved, he had unleashed a power that twisted the fabric of time, to put himself beyond the reach of that monstrous force and avert the pandemonium that threatened the world. He thought that nothing could break through the barrier he had created. He was wrong...

In the Beginning Was Chaos by Sarah L. Maguire Pdf

From the noble Titan Prometheus who stole fire from Mount Olympus to the bloody tale of how Kronos castrated his own father Ouranos to avenge his mother Gaia, these visceral, often dark and powerful stories about the creation of the world are also larger than life projections of human passions, the exercise of power in a violent and hierarchical world and a reflection on the bitter-sweet human condition. With their remote origins in Mesopotamia and the ancient civilisations of the Near East, these myths come down to us primarily from the early Greek poet and farmer Hesiod in his two epic poems; the Theogony and the Works and Days. Drawing on Hesiod's account as well as ancient authors such as Ovid, Aeschylus and Apollodorus of Alexandria, In the Beginning was Chaos recounts the stories of the ancient Greeks about how the world began, the creation of humanity and their troubled relationship with the Gods. It includes the war between the Olympians and the Titans, Prometheus and his struggle with Zeus, as well as detailed descriptions of the twelve Olympian gods and goddesses and an account of the Underworld. It also includes the story Deucalion and Pyrrha and the great flood with its striking parallels to the Biblical account of the flood.

The Initiate by Louise Cooper Pdf

The seven gods of Order had ruled unchallenged for centuries, served by the adepts of the Circle in their bleak northern castle on the Star Peninsula. But for Tarod-the most enigmatic and formidable sorcerer in Circle's ranks-a darker affinity had begun to call. Threatening his beliefs, even his sanity, it rose unbidden from beyond time; an ancient and deadly adversary that could plunge the world into madness and chaos-and whose power might rival that of the gods themselves. And though Tarod's mind and heart were pledged to Order, his soul was another matter...

The Creation of Chaos by Frederick J. Ruf Pdf

This is the first book-length study of William James' style, arguing that the manner in which James writes The Principles of Psychology and The Varieties of Religious Experience serves to construct a chaotic world for his readers. The book examines the uses of chaos in western literature and philosophy and reaches two conclusions: that chaos may be "utter confusion and disorder," but, paradoxically, that disorder is communicated through some particular order -- in Joyce's term, all chaos is "chaosmos." Secondly, what is essential about chaos is what it does: nothing is inherently chaotic, rather chaos is used to contrast with or challenge something that is more structured or formed. Finally, the author presents an examination of the religious function of James' chaotic worldview as a disorientation which orients.
