The Orphanage of Gods by Helena Coggan Pdf

Twenty years ago, the humans came for their gods. In the bloody revolution, gods were all but wiped out. Ever since, the children they left behind have been imprisoned in an orphanage, watched day and night by the ruthless Guard. Any who show signs of divine power vanish from their beds in the night, all knowledge of their existence denied. No one has ever escaped the orphanage. Until now. Seventeen-year-old Hero is finally free - but at a terrible price. Her sister has been captured by the Guard and is being held in a prison in the northern sea. Hero desperately wants to get her back, and to escape the murderous Guardsmen hunting her down. But not all the gods are dead, and the ones waiting for Hero in the north have their own plans for her - ones that will change the world forever . . . As she advances further and further into the unknown, Hero will need to decide: how far is she willing to go to do what needs to be done? ************ Praise for THE ORPHANAGE OF GODS 'A twisting story full of surprises and rich, complex characters.

As she looks at the baby wriggling in her father’s arms, a bolt of recognition goes through her and she takes a step back. And it’s in that moment that she begins to protect her father’s secrets. 1934, Weirfield-on-Thames. Connie Burroughs loves living in the orphanage that her father runs. Exploring its nooks and crannies with her sister, hearing the pounding of a hundred pairs of feet on the wooden stairs, having a father who is doing so much good. But everything changes the day she sees him carrying a newborn baby that he says he found near the broken front gate. A baby she recognises… Present day. Arriving at her father’s beloved cottage beside the river, Sarah Jennings is hoping for peace and quiet, to escape her difficult divorce. But when she finds her father unwell and hunched over boxes of files on the orphanage where he was abandoned as a child, she decides to investigate it herself. The only person left alive who lived at Cedar Hall is Connie Burroughs, but Connie sits quietly in her nursing home for a reason.

Heaven: God's Challenges by James R. Fielding Pdf

Billions in the world believe that death is not an end-all, and that the deceased go to Heaven to be with God, family, and friends for eternity. But is Heaven a reasonable concept or just wishful thinking? Over one hundred billion people have already died, many before Jesus died on the cross. Is God caring for their souls, and where are these souls? James Fielding relies on his scientific background and spiritual experiences to share a unique perspective about the afterlife while attempting to answer complex questions that address who and what goes to Heaven. While utilizing scripture to support his examination of the challenges God faces while evaluating and diagnosing billions of deceased souls to maintain a healthy population in Heaven, Fielding examines diverse topics such as salvation, Jesus, the soul, causes of death, burials and cemeteries, mummies and cryonics, embryos and fetuses that miscarry, still births, the brain, disabilities, illnesses, pain, prodigies and geniuses, Heaven’s language, human evolution, the age of Heaven’s residents, and much more. Heaven: God’s Challenges intertwines scientific and biblical insight to present a fascinating examination of the Lord’s obstacles, the afterlife, and the future of Heaven’s population.

In God's Name by Omer Bartov,Phyllis Mack Pdf

Despite the widespread trends of secularization in the 20th century, religion has played an important role in several outbreaks of genocide since the First World War. And yet, not many scholars have looked either at the religious aspects of modern genocide, or at the manner in which religion has taken a position on mass killing. This collection of essays addresses this hiatus by examining the intersection between religion and state-organized murder in the cases of the Armenian, Jewish, Rwandan, and Bosnian genocides. Rather than a comprehensive overview, it offers a series of descrete, yet closely related case studies, that shed light on three fundamental aspects of this issue: the use of religion to legitimize and motivate genocide; the potential of religious faith to encourage physical and spiritual resistance to mass murder; and finally, the role of religion in coming to terms with the legacy of atrocity.

Getting God Wrong by G. S. Kohler Pdf

Reading a tone of voice into printed words, especially the personal experience of an email or text, can disconnect two people, even friends. Having one friend reinterpret the way another “heard” the words with their own tone of voice may lead them into discovering how Jesus seems to hear God differently, even though he read the same Bible. In Getting God Wrong, the reader is invited into a conversation on how they taught themselves to misunderstand the One who loves them best. “Instructions” is the same word that gets translated “commandments,” and “guidance” is the same word sometimes translated “law.” This shift of translations can affect one’s emotional engagement with the ideas. People have told themseleves for centuries that God marched the people of Israel out of four hundred years of slavery, out into the desert, to tell them, “Now you’ll be my slaves and live under my commandments!” What if God used a different tone of voice, and not the one people usually “hear” as they read? Getting God Wrong suggests that God wants people to hear his heart as clearly as Jesus lived it out in front of them. Jesus is God’s tone of voice.

Childhoods in India by T. S. Saraswathi,Shailaja Menon,Ankur Madan Pdf

This book highlights the significance of an interdisciplinary approach to understanding children and childhoods in the Indian context. While it is recognised that multiple kinds of childhoods exist in India, policy and practice approaches to working with children are still based on a singular model of the ideal child rooted in certain Western traditions. The book challenges readers to go beyond the acknowledgement of differences to evolving alternate models to this conception of children and childhoods. Bringing together well-known scholars from history, politics, sociology, child development, paediatrics and education, the volume represents four major themes: the history and politics of childhoods; deconstructing childhoods by analysing their representations in art, mythology and culture in India; selected facets of childhoods as constructed through education and schooling; and understanding issues related to law, policy and practice, as they pertain to children and childhoods. This important book will be useful to scholars and researchers of education, especially those working in the domains of child development, sociology of education, educational psychology, public policy and South Asian studies.

Praise Faith to God's Glory by Victor Hadnot Pdf

Praise Faith To God's Glory is a special collection of short stories written in the sub-genre of Christian Science Fiction. Too often in the past, Christians who like to read science fiction have had to deal with the obvious "put downs" when it came to having faith in God. This book and these short stories were written to address this issue. In the grandness of things, it is ridiculous to believe that all of the wonders of the universe simply happened. "Chaos theory" suffers from its own "big bang"—and who better to write speculative fiction than someone who believes in the Ultimate Being. These stories express what Christians have known since Jesus Christ walked with us, and expresses what modern day physics seeks so hard to discover—the unified theory—but God is One. Christians have had the unified theory of the universe and all creation since the beginning. This is science fiction with a Christian attitude!
