"One day a group of young people will escape the Sorcerers of
Teletsia and travel to a land in the far north to gain subtle inner
power which will enable them to free their fellow country people
from the evil that has held them in a stranglehold for so
long."Based on the timeless tales of India, this colourful and
evocative fantasy novel weaves a narrative that will entertain and
delight the reader whilst simultaneously touching on the essentials
of daily life; of the struggles each of us faces; and of the
journey to inner enlightenment. A fantasy indeed, yet firmly
encapsulated in reality.
‘In the beginning was the Word,’ says the Gospel of John. This
sentence – and the words of all four gospels – is central to
the teachings of the Christian church and has shaped Western art,
literature and language, and the Western mind. Yet in the years
after the death of Christ there was not merely one word, nor any
consensus as to who Jesus was or why he had mattered. There were
many different Jesuses, among them the aggressive Jesus who scorned
his parents and crippled those who opposed him, the Jesus who sold
his twin into slavery and the Jesus who had someone crucified in
his stead. Moreover, in the early years of the first millennium
there were many other saviours, many sons of gods who healed the
sick and cured the lame. But as Christianity spread, they were
pronounced unacceptable – even heretical – and they faded from
view. Now, in Heretic, Catherine Nixey tells their extraordinary
story, one of contingency, chance and plurality. It is a story
about what might have been.

Do your quiet times with God feel disconnected from the rest of your overflowing days? Shouldn't our devotions affect how we live our lives? In this 90-day devotional for women, plain Mennonite mother and wife Faith Sommers helps connect your moments with the Lord to the rest of your life. Steeped in the faith of Amish and Mennonites, who maintain that how we live is as important as what we say, Sommers' words hold gentle warmth and wise nudging for readers tired of disjointed living. Offering daily devotions, prayers, journal prompts, and ideas for how to simplify your life and strengthen your faith, Prayers for a Simpler Life guides readers toward a deeper commitment to the way of Jesus.
What happens after you die? What is Heaven like? What do angels do?

A critique of modern Islamic political thought on the 'state', this
book takes the form of a three-part dialogue with the West, with
Islamic tradition and with 20th-century Muslim thinkers. The author
discusses the divide between Islamic values and the basic
principles which guide Western political thought. He traces the
development of Muslim constitutional practice and considers the
current debate on the nature of and desirability for an 'Islamic
state'. He separates the problems that are internally derived from
the by-products of Western culture. Dr El-Affendi argues that if
Islamic values were brought to bear internationally, the entrenched
dogmas of Western political thought as much as both the
tradition-bound and modernist trends of Muslim thinking would have
to be revised. A must-read for those interested in the theory of
the Islamic State. This second edition contains a foreword by
Professor Ziauddin Sardar, a new introduction by the author, and
two new sections as appendices.
