Listen to some of Jesus' most renowned parables in this book. A particular lawyer came to Jesus having the desire to tempt him and said, “Teacher, what should I do to have everlasting life?” Jesus replied, “What does the Law state? What is written in it?” The lawyer answered, “Love the Lord God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. Also, love your neighbor as yourself.” When Jesus heard this, he said, “You have stated correctly. Do this and you will live.” The lawyer wanted to know more so he asked, “Lord, who is my neighbour?” Then Jesus gave to him a parable and said, “A man was travelling from Jerusalem to Jericho, and on his way, he met upon thieves who took his clothes, and injured him badly; and went away leaving him for dead.” “And along the way by chance came down that same road a priest, and when he saw the badly injured man he walked over by the other side.”Ver livro
🔱 Looking for a school with monsters, whirlpools, and zero promises you’ll make it out alive? Congratulations—you found it. When the gods died (spoiler alert: humans totally killed them), their powers scattered like stardust, creating a world where everyone’s born with a gift: a ripple of Poseidon, a blaze of Apollo, a glimmer of Aphrodite… Thirteen-year-old Hailey Woods? She got Zeus. Storm-summoning powers sound cool… unless you’re the only Zeus in a hundred years and there’s a prophecy floating about saying you’ll have to save the world—um, no pressure. Hailey isn’t interested in saving anything. She’d rather survive high school without accidentally unleashing a tornado in class. So when she’s offered a spot at Poseidon’s Academy—a school under the sea where her powers are useless—she dives in (literally) for a shot at a normal life. No lightning. No pressure. No monsters. Kidding! There are so many monsters… Oh, and sea-nymphs—like mermaids, but meaner, less sparkly, and way more into revenge than decorating seashell crowns. They’re plotting to bring back the gods, and if Hailey and her friends don’t stop them, it’s goodbye enchanted sea palace, hello full-blown apocalypse. Saving the world? Yeah… turns out that might not be optional. __________________________________________________ ⚡️Poseidon’s Academy is a middle grade fantasy packed with magic, teen demigods, and more mayhem than any school should allow. Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, Nevermoor, and Amari and the Night Brothers 🌀 The whirlpool’s spinning—jump in if you dare. Worst case? You’re never seen again. Best case? You fight a kraken.
