What Trickery Is This? by Sam Cheever Pdf

One of the great things about midlife is having the experience and knowledge that comes from decades of navigating jerks and mansplainers. Unfortunately, I had nothing in my repertoire to help me deal with a true Trickster. Amid magical mushrooms, ghosts popping up in unexpected places, dangerous predators, strange pregnancies, barking cats, meowing dogs, and an endless array of other weirdness, I’m facing a foe unlike any I’ve encountered before as Lares of Rome. My new enemy is determined to destroy my dominion, and he doesn’t care who he takes out in the effort. He probably doesn’t realize it yet, but he’s in for a shipload of a battle. It’s going to take the combined effort of an entire town and all of my council and allies, but I have no intention of giving my people over to the type of madness the Trickster generates.

Trickery by Jaymin Eve,Jane Washington Pdf

Willa Knight: Dweller. Slave. Non-magical being. In Minatsol, being a dweller means that you are literally no better than dirt. In fact, dirt might actually be more useful than Willa. Her life will be one of servitude to the sols, the magic-blessed beings who could one day be chosen to become gods. At least her outer village is far removed from the cities of the sols, and she won't ever be forced to present herself to them... Until one small mistake changes everything, and Willa is awarded a position to serve at Blesswood, the top sol academy in the world-a position that she definitely did not earn. Under the sudden, watchful eye of the gods, she will be tasked to serve the Abcurse brothers, five sols built of arrogance, perfection and power. They are almost gods themselves, and under their service she is either going to end up sentenced to death, or else they are going to ruin her so badly that she will wish for it. Either way, she is in trouble.This is a full novel, 90,000 words. Book 1 of 5 in the Curse of the Gods Series

The characters are typical of most soldiers during the war and wish only to stop fighting and go home to their sweethearts and loved ones.

Modern Leaders: Between Charisma and Trickery by Agnes Horvath,Arpad Szakolczai,Manussos Marangudakis Pdf

This book considers the current striking rise of ‘outsider’ political leaders, catapulted, apparently, from nowhere, to take charge of a nation. Arguing that such leaders can be better understood with the help of the anthropologically based concept of ‘the trickster’, it offers studies of contemporary political figures from the world stage – including Presidents Macron, Tsipras, Orbán and Bolsonaro, among others – to examine the ways in which charismatic and trickster modalities can become intertwined, especially under the impact of theatrical public media. Looking beyond the commonly invoked notion of ‘charisma’ to revisit the question of political leadership in light of the recent rise of new type of ‘outsider’ leaders, Modern Leaders: Between Charisma and Trickery offers an account of leadership informed by social and anthropological theory. As such, it will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in political thought and the problem of political leadership.

Way Beyond by Mukul Talukdar Pdf

The Org is an ancient and mysterious organization that supervises the human species genetic, behavioral, and technological advancement. It manages annihilation and apocalypse at the civilization level. A young apprentice, Alex Lucent, was recruited under one of the finest organization agents. Under some unforeseen circumstances, he came across two choices, either to quit or to set out on a very dangerous quest to fight against someone with the intention to shatter the equilibrium of the fabric of space-time itself. There exist four sub-realities: Dataverse, Entropyverse, Energyverse, and Dark matterverse. Everything that we see and interact with, corresponds to these sub-realities. If one attains all the sub-realities by opening a portal to it, one would be able to harness the four fundamental forces of nature at his/her will. That means the ability to bypass the laws of nature, theoretically bend reality and jump through space-time. This was a master plan by the antagonist Volkan, a brilliant manipulative rogue agent, fueled with greed and vengeance. Alex has to learn the ways of the organization agents and prevent the obliteration of the linearity of order and chaos. He would embark on a journey to the unknown, a journey of self-discovery, friendship, and love. The limits of his spirit would be tested, he has to take many unpleasant decisions for the greater good. Not only does he have to stop Volkan, but he also has to make sure that, good or evil, no one should possess the ability to bend reality.

INTERPRETING THE BIBLE by Edward D. Andrews Pdf

"INTERPRETING THE BIBLE: Introduction to Biblical Hermeneutics" is a seminal book crafted by Edward D. Andrews to guide students, ministers, and anyone interested in understanding the Bible more deeply. This book is unique in its approach, as it not only delves into the principles of biblical interpretation inherent in the Bible but also paves the way for readers to interpret, teach, and preach God's Word with profound insight. Understanding the Bible goes beyond surface reading—it requires a careful analysis of its genres, historical context, and language. This book serves as a foundational guide for such an examination, requiring no prior understanding of biblical languages or hermeneutics, yet empowering the reader with a working knowledge of biblical interpretation. "Biblical Hermeneutics," as Andrews elucidates, is both a science and an art, forming a crucial component of theological sciences. This truth is particularly salient for conservative Protestantism, which holds the Bible as the sole authoritative voice of God to mankind. In "INTERPRETING THE BIBLE: Introduction to Biblical Hermeneutics," Andrews sheds light on the multifaceted nature of biblical interpretation. He instructs readers on how to discern the various biblical genres and understand the original meanings intended by the Bible authors from a conservative grammatical-historical perspective. But more than that, he guides readers on how to apply these timeless truths to their own lives. This book is more than a guide; it's an invitation to journey deeper into the realms of biblical understanding. It is a must-read for anyone who seeks to broaden their comprehension of the Bible, interpret its sacred teachings accurately, and apply its profound wisdom to everyday life.
