To Cage A God

Perfect for romantasy fans of Fourth Wing and Shadow and Bone, this dark, Imperial Russia-inspired romantic fantasy novel launches the These Monstrous Gods duology of draconic gods, political revolutions, and deadly magical powers from a Sunday Times bestselling author "This series opener delivers on not just epic fantasy, but epic action and romance." —Kirkus To cage a god is divine. To be divine is to rule. To rule is to destroy. Using ancient secrets, Galina and Sera’s mother grafted gods into their bones. Bound to brutal deities and granted forbidden power no commoner has held in a millennia, the sisters have grown up to become living weapons. Raised to overthrow an empire―no matter the cost. With their mother gone and their country on the brink of war, it falls to the sisters to take the helm of the rebellion and end the cruel reign of a royal family possessed by destructive gods. Because when the ruling alurea invade, they conquer with fire and blood. And when they clash, common folk burn. While Sera reunites with her estranged lover turned violent rebel leader, Galina infiltrates the palace. In this world of deception and danger, her only refuge is an isolated princess, whose whip-smart tongue and sharp gaze threaten to uncover Galina’s secret. Torn between desire and duty, Galina must make a choice: work together to expose the lies of the empire―or bring it all down.

Can God supply food in the desert? He Did! There are truly laws of nature and of men, I'm not disputing the fact nor writing against them. To earn a quality salary package you must be a graduate, to Eat you must work, to bear a child you must have a womb, Economics law, scientific laws etc they are true and facts but they are not prerequisites for God to move neither are they proof for us to make our hearts rigid to the extent of caging or limiting God the ALL-Mighty. What If he decides to flout all laws or go beyond the norms and still give you a better result far above those who had it the normal way?. I saw a God who made a 17years old shepherd conquer a mighty Goliath what an entire army of Israel can't do even the all-experienced and powerful King Saul couldn't, a shepherd boy did. The law of reproduction states a sperm and egg is needed for child conception, very correct! Yet I saw a Living God decide to change the case as with Jesus' birth by allowing a conception to occur without the deposition of any sperm. They were truly expecting a mighty Messiah who would come to deliver them from the powerful tyrant called Rome, but far above their reasoning is God's ultimate plan for men not to save only Israel from The Roman Empire but the whole world from sin and the shackles of the devil.Our certificates, our jobs, even that small or medium business venture in your sight could be used by God for your breakthrough yet we cage the sovereign God in many ways. Some don't even believe God for a house of their own due to their kind of income presently, some have given up all hopes of having children just because it took long, some gave their lives over to Alcohol, cigarettes, cocaine, robbery, prostitution, gangsters, street boys and girls, violence and so on just because they could not be educated and thought it's the end.I do not in anyways write to condemn or disproof the laws of men or any institute like science, without it men would not be advanced or civilized, nor do I write to suggest complacency, laziness or irresponsibility as regards our response to work or whatever we need to do as humans in the name of "God will do it" I work also. But I write to strengthen one or two persons who are at the verge of thinking impossibilities, or letting go even to the extent of thinking suicide. My message to you is when it comes to God, you can't phantom or reason it out, He can do and undo, and He's too powerful to be predicted.I beseech you to please read with covenant sense as it's not just a mere book but an encounter experience for any who will tap into the power of the real Author, who is the Holy ghost while I am just the mere writer.Have a powerful encounter as you read, God bless you all. Amen

This first book in a feminist space opera duology follows seven resistance fighters who will free the galaxy from the ruthless Tholosian Empire--or die trying. When Eris faked her death, she thought she had left her old life as the heir to the galaxy's most ruthless empire behind. But her recruitment by the Novantaen Resistance, an organization opposed to the empire's voracious expansion, throws her right back into the fray. Eris has been assigned a new mission: to infiltrate a spaceship ferrying deadly cargo and return the intelligence gathered to the Resistance. But her partner for the mission, mechanic and hotshot pilot Cloelia, bears an old grudge against Eris, making an already difficult infiltration even more complicated. When they find the ship, they discover more than they bargained for: three fugitives with firsthand knowledge of the corrupt empire's inner workings. Together, these women possess the knowledge and capabilities to bring the empire to its knees. But the clock is ticking: the new heir to the empire plans to disrupt a peace summit with the only remaining alien empire, ensuring the empire’s continued expansion. If they can find a way to stop him, they will save the galaxy. If they can't, millions may die.

After the ambush to the Novantae resistance, the survivors scatter across the galaxy. Then Ariadne receives a message: the Oracle has gone rogue. The AI wants One's daughter back and will do anything to get her. The seven devils realize they must get to the heart of the Empire and destroy the Oracle, no matter the sacrifice.

Bestselling author of Geography of Bliss returns with this funny, illuminating chronicle of a globe-spanning spiritual quest to find a faith that fits. When a health scare puts him in the hospital, Eric Weiner-an agnostic by default-finds himself tangling with an unexpected question, posed to him by a well-meaning nurse. "Have you found your God yet?" The thought of it nags him, and prods him-and ultimately launches him on a far-flung journey to do just that. Weiner, a longtime "spiritual voyeur" and inveterate traveler, realizes that while he has been privy to a wide range of religious practices, he's never seriously considered these concepts in his own life. Face to face with his own mortality, and spurred on by the question of what spiritual principles to impart to his young daughter, he decides to correct this omission, undertaking a worldwide exploration of religions and hoping to come, if he can, to a personal understanding of the divine. The journey that results is rich in insight, humor, and heart. Willing to do anything to better understand faith, and to find the god or gods that speak to him, he travels to Nepal, where he meditates with Tibetan lamas and a guy named Wayne. He sojourns to Turkey, where he whirls (not so well, as it turns out) with Sufi dervishes. He heads to China, where he attempts to unblock his chi; to Israel, where he studies Kabbalah, sans Madonna; and to Las Vegas, where he has a close encounter with Raelians (followers of the world's largest UFO-based religion). At each stop along the way, Weiner tackles our most pressing spiritual questions: Where do we come from? What happens when we die? How should we live our lives? Where do all the missing socks go? With his trademark wit and warmth, he leaves no stone unturned. At a time when more Americans than ever are choosing a new faith, and when spiritual questions loom large in the modern age, Man Seeks God presents a perspective on religion that is sure to delight, inspire, and entertain.
