Sin City Goddess

Tisiphone loves spending her days playing poker in the underworld, far away from mortals and all the trouble they cause--and all the terrible mistakes they make. Unfortunately for this goddess, her sister Alecto has vanished in Las Vegas--and the gods of Olympus believe only Tisi can find her and bring her back. To make matters worse, they force her to partner up with a mortal: recently deceased FBI agent Archer Mays. With all these challenges, how can a Fury keep her temper? On their quest to track down the missing goddess, Tisi and Archer battle danger, demons, and even their simmering attraction to one another--until a sinister plot unfolds that could devastate humans and gods alike. Now, Tisiphone must set everything right within a few days, or find herself trapped in the mortal world she despises...forever. From the author of the enchanting Stacy Justice series comes the first book in her brand-new Secret Goddess series: a book that proves hell hath no Fury, because she's in Las Vegas.

"Tough guy Marv is out for revenge for the murder of a prostitute named Goldie"--

It'll be loud and nasty.

Hans J. Nissen here provides a much-needed overview of 7000 years of development in the ancient Near East from the beginning of settled life to the formation of the first regional states. His approach to the study of Mesopotamian civilization differs markedly from conventional orientations, which impose a sharp division between prehistoric and historic, literate, periods. Nissen argues that this approach is too rigid to explain the actual development of that civilization. He deemphasizes the invention of writing as a turning point, viewing it as simply one more phase in the evolution of social complexity and as the result of specific social, economic, and political factors. With a unique combination of material culture analysis written data, Nissan traces the emergence of the earliest isolated settlements, the growth of a network of towns, the emergence of city states, and finally the appearance of territorial states. From his synthesis of the prehistoric and literate periods comes a unified picture of the development of Mesopotamian economy, society, and culture. Lavishly illustrated, The Early History of the Ancient Near East, 9000-2000 B.C. is an authoritative work by one of the most insightful observers of the evolution and character of Mesopotamian civilization.

Sinful human depravity flourishes underneath the bright lights of Las Vegas. In a town where the Seven Deadly Sins govern business can any man's faith survive in a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah? For most this would be the last place that a person would go to look for God. But for author Richard Brodhagen, Sin City is where God found him. In "Finding God in Sin City" Richard Brodhagen goes through a journey that takes him into the worlds of Atheism, Agnosticism, Paganism, Buddhism, Islam, Mormonism, Protestantism, and then finally Catholicism. This book will not only cover one man's conversion from Atheism to Catholicism, it will also guide any Christian to a deeper understanding of their faith. Through the use of Sacred Scripture and the writings of the early Church Fathers, this book will introduce you to the world of Catholic Apologetics. No matter where you are on your journey of faith, Finding God in Sin City will strengthen your beliefs with the universal language of truth. As Richard Brodhagen found on his journey, if God can be found in Sin City, He can be found anywhere.
