In Enki & Enlil, My Brother My Enemy, we will take you on an unimaginable and profound journey into the heart of ancient settings, musings, ancient mind-set, ancient histories, and ancient practices to reveal a breathtaking, hidden reality that will transform your understanding and life forever and in many ways. The suggestions in this work will show that we are debating present and ancient matters that will help uplift you spiritually. Spirituality, in this sense, is enlightenment—nothing else. Enlightenment is perhaps one of the reasons even the Gods are at each other’s throats up to this day. Enlightenment is so highly-priced that Enlil was willing to antagonize Enki in His attempt to "civilize” mankind. Enlil was willing to become man’s opposer and even Enki’s enemy because He did not want any enlightenment for mankind. In Enki & Enlil, My Brother My Enemy, we will show that there is indeed a God. How you define that God is up to you and may change after reading this book. Though the general assumption is that God is One, there are those who have explained how such an assumption was reached and thus propagated. Enki & Enlil were no happenings of circumstances. They deliberately traveled to earth for purposes serving their interests. Anu was the leader, and the other extraterrestrials were His subjects. Earthlings acknowledge them as Gods. Today, the extraterrestrials—aliens—are simply and popularly known as God & and the angels. Indeed, Enki & Enlil so frequently appear in our daily lives through the Bible’s Old Testament. Not many people know that their lives were and are influenced by Enki alias Satan and “God” alias EL Shaddai, EL this and EL that, and all the other commandeered and assimilated names. Whatever the “offence” Enki (Satan) may have “committed” and/or was accused of, such a charge is indeed laughable today and always will be, at least if not for anything but for the scale of its inaccuracy. Today, however, like a cockroach before a jury of Chickens, Enki, too, cannot get justice, equity, and good acknowledgement among mankind mostly due to the on-going campaign of calumny. The books of the Old Testament in the Bible don’t tell lies. Whether it had been tampered with is another debate altogether. As for the New Testament, it is impossible to testify and swear to its truthfulness. If you are a student of the Old Testament, Enki & Enlil, My Brother My Enemy is a must-read if you indeed want to understand the ancient books and their writings, and the Old Testament. The writings of the Old Testament were true then and are true today. Depending on your reality, you may want to realize your own truth, but at the end of the written text is what it is—the truth. Whether Enki or Enlil, you are implored to decide who the jolly good fellow was and is. Who is the jolly good fellow? Who is the bad fellow? One of them is BAD. REALLY BAD. The other is GOOD. SO GOOD. Who then was/is mankind’s opposer? You’d be shocked, but this truth has been staring us all in the face, as the narratives of the Old Testament attest to. The crafty diversions used to deceive readers into becoming believers employed by those who put the Old Testament together have come home to roost. The so-called monotheism cannot hold up. Was the so-called monotheism, therefore, a gimmick or an attempt at impression to deceive? Finding the truth could be hard even while it is in plain sight. The truth, however, is like Mark Twain’s quote, “A lie travels around the globe while the truth is putting on its shoes.”

From the bestselling horror author of Within These Walls and The Bird Eater comes a terrifying novel that follows a teenager determined to break from his family’s unconventional—and deeply disturbing—traditions. Deep in the heart of Appalachia stands a crooked farmhouse miles from any road. The Morrows keep to themselves, and it’s served them well so far. When girls go missing off the side of the highway, the cops don’t knock on their door. Which is a good thing, seeing as to what’s buried in the Morrows’ backyard. But nineteen-year-old Michael Morrow isn’t like the rest of his family. He doesn’t take pleasure in the screams that echo through the trees. Michael pines for normalcy, and he’s sure that someday he’ll see the world beyond West Virginia. When he meets Alice, a pretty girl working at a record shop in the small nearby town of Dahlia, he’s immediately smitten. For a moment, he nearly forgets about the monster he’s become. But his brother, Rebel, is all too eager to remind Michael of his place…

Women comprise at least half the world, and usually more than half the church, but so often Christian teaching to women either fails to move beyond a discussion of roles or assumes a particular economic situation or stage of life. This all but shuts women out from contributing to God’s kingdom as they were designed to do. Furthermore, the plight of women in the Majority World demands a Christian response, a holistic embrace of all that God calls women and men to be in his world. The loudest voices speaking into women’s lives in the twenty-first century thus far come from either fundamentalist Islam or radical feminism. And neither can be allowed to carry the day. The Bible contains the highest possible view of women and invests women’s lives with cosmic significance regardless of their age, stage of life, social status, or culture. Carolyn Custis James unpacks three transformative themes the Bible presents to women that raise the bar for women and calls them to join their brothers in advancing God’s gracious kingdom on earth. These new images of what can be in Christ free women to embrace the life God gives them, no matter what happens. Carolyn encourages readers with a positive, kingdom approach to the changes, challenges, and opportunities facing women throughout the world today.

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER LA TIMES BOOK PRIZE FINALIST NBCC JOHN LEONARD PRIZE FINALIST ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES'S MOST NOTABLE BOOKS OF 2017 ONE OF THE WASHINGTON POST’S MOST NOTABLE BOOKS OF 2017 ONE OF NPR’S ‘GREAT READS’ OF 2017 A USA TODAY BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR AN AMAZON.COM BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR A BUSINESS INSIDER BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR "Impossible to put down." —NPR "A novel that readers will gulp down, gasping.” —The Washington Post "The word 'masterpiece' has been cheapened by too many blurbs, but My Absolute Darling absolutely is one." —Stephen King A brilliant and immersive, all-consuming read about one fourteen-year-old girl's heart-stopping fight for her own soul. Turtle Alveston is a survivor. At fourteen, she roams the woods along the northern California coast. The creeks, tide pools, and rocky islands are her haunts and her hiding grounds, and she is known to wander for miles. But while her physical world is expansive, her personal one is small and treacherous: Turtle has grown up isolated since the death of her mother, in the thrall of her tortured and charismatic father, Martin. Her social existence is confined to the middle school (where she fends off the interest of anyone, student or teacher, who might penetrate her shell) and to her life with her father. Then Turtle meets Jacob, a high-school boy who tells jokes, lives in a big clean house, and looks at Turtle as if she is the sunrise. And for the first time, the larger world begins to come into focus: her life with Martin is neither safe nor sustainable. Motivated by her first experience with real friendship and a teenage crush, Turtle starts to imagine escape, using the very survival skills her father devoted himself to teaching her. What follows is a harrowing story of bravery and redemption. With Turtle's escalating acts of physical and emotional courage, the reader watches, heart in throat, as this teenage girl struggles to become her own hero—and in the process, becomes ours as well. Shot through with striking language in a fierce natural setting, My Absolute Darling is an urgently told, profoundly moving read that marks the debut of an extraordinary new writer.

Bobby Dollar has a problem or four of epic proportions. Problem one: his best friend Sam has given him an angel's feather that also happens to be evidence of an unholy pact between Bobby's employers and those who dwell in the infernal depths. Problem two: Eligor, Grand Duke of Hell, wants to get his claws on the feather at all costs, but particularly at all cost to Bobby . Problem three: Bobby has fallen in love with Casimira, Countess of Cold Hands, who just happens to be Eligor's girlfriend. Problem four: Eligor, aware of Problem three, has whisked Casimira off to the Bottomless Pit itself, telling Bobby he will never see her again unless he hands over the feather. But Bobby, long-time veteran of the endless war between above and below, is not the type of guy who finds Hell intimidating. All he has to do is toss on a demon's body, sneak through the infernal gates, solve the mystery of the angel's feather, and rescue the girl. Saving the day should just be a matter of an eon or two of anguish, mutilation and horror. If only it were that easy.
