The Archangel

And so it came to pass... Through science, faith and force of will, the Harmonics carved out for themselves a society they perceived as perfect. Diverse peoples held together by respect for each other and the prospect of swift punishment if their laws were disobeyed. Fertile land that embraced a variety of climates and seasons. Angels to guard the mortals and mystics to guard the forbidden knowledge. Jehovah to watch over them all... Generations later, the armed space cruiser Jehovah still looms over the planet Samaria, programmed to unleash its arsenal if peace is not sustained. Bu tan age of corruption has come to the land, threatening that peace and placing the Samarians in grave danger. Their only hope lies in the crowning of a new Archangel. The oracles have chosen for this honour the angel named Gabriel and further decreed that he must first wed a mortal woman named Rachel. It is his destiny and hers. And Gabriel is certain that she will greet the news of her betrothal with enthusiasm and a devotion to duty equal to his own. Rachel, however, has other ideas...

The cult and legends of St Michael the archangel were widespread in medieval England, and this book - the first full-length study of the subject - offers a comprehensive examination of their genesis and diffusion. Part I identifies and analyses the concerns, conflicts, and roles with which St Michael is associated, from scriptural and apocryphal literature through to the homiletic literature of the medieval period. Part II begins with a discussion of the vernacular recensions of the popular account of the archangel's earthly interventions, and goes on to survey the legendary accounts in Old English, Anglo-Norman, and Middle English of the archangel and his roles as guardian, intercessor, psychopomp, and warrior-angel follows. The Appendices contain the first English translation of the archangel's hagiographic foundation-myth; an annotated bibliographical list and motif index of textual materials relating to the archangel; and an essay on the iconographic representations of the archangel in medieval England. RICHARD F. JOHNSON is Assistant Professor of English at William Rainey Harper College.

Saint Michael Jesus (the) Archangel is an angel from heaven as are we all, He teaches. Like He taught King Solomon in the Heavenly School, the acquisition of wisdom is one of the greatest pursuits of humankind. All of us have missions for God on Earth, but some of us fall away from our missions, forgetting them or rejecting them, and one of Michael s missions is to remind us of Jesus Christ s Biblical teaching that "he who believes and is baptized shall be saved; and he who believes not shall be condemned." (Mark 16:16) Michael teaches through his 80+ books and TV show, "Archangel Michael and the United Domains Of Heaven." Saint Michael has come to fulfill the prophecies in the Holy Bible: John 16: 12-14: "But when the Spirit of truth comes He will lead you to the complete truth since He will not be speaking as from Himself but will say only what He has learned; and He will tell you of the things to come. He will glorify Me, since all He tells you will be taken from what is Mine," and Acts 2:17: "In the days to come-it is the Lord Who speaks-I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind. Their sons and daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams." In this sacred book of wisdom inspired by Abba Yahweh God the Father, His Spouse Sophia who is Wisdom personified and the mother of the angels, angelas, devils, and demons, and by Jesus Christ God the Son, and His Girlfriend Mary Magdalene, and by Michael's Girlfriend, the Blessed Virgin Mary Michelle, Michael shares with the human gods and goddesses from his own fund of wisdom also.

This is an extraordinary book about trees. It's an account by a veteran science journalist that ranges to the limits of scientific understanding: how trees produce aerosols for protection and 'warnings'; the curative effects of 'forest bathing' in Japan; or the impact of trees in fertilizing ocean plankton. There is even science to show that trees are connected to the stars. Trees and forests are far more than just plants: they have myriad functions that help maintain the atmosphere and biosphere. As climate change increases, they will become even more critical to buffer the effects of warmer temperatures, clean our water and air and provide food. If they remain standing. The global forest is also in crisis, and when the oldest trees in the world suddenly start dying - across North America, Europe, the Amazon - it's time to pay attention. At the heart of this remarkable exploration of the power of trees is the amazing story of one man, a shade tree farmer named David Milarch, and his quest to clone the oldest and largest trees - from the California redwoods to the oaks of Ireland - to protect the ancient genetics and use them to reforest the planet.

Present day Russia is the setting for this new thriller by the author of Fatherland.

Jamie is an intelligent but rather self centered almost-nine year old girl who is counting and shaking her presents on Christmas Eve. After a failed attempt to read the Christmas story, Jamies father gives her a strange gift- a wooden statue of an old, fat, balding angel with tattered wings. Because of a wish that Jamie makes earlier in the evening, the statue comes to life at her bedside, and the irascible old angel takes her on a magical journey back in time to the first Christmas night in Bethlehem. Gabe (Archangel, Retired) is a cigar smoking, seat-of-the-pants kind of angel who tries very hard not to swear, and who says to Jamie, Dont worry, Ive never lost anyone on these tripsnot yet, anyway. And of course, thats just what happens During her nights adventure, Jamie manages to meet two of the wise-men, a couple of shepherd boys, and eventually a shivering, young new mother, where Jamies spontaneous act of kindness changes Christmas forever.
