Sinopse

In "Modern Magic," M. Schele de Vere presents a comprehensive exploration of magical practices, dissecting their historical significance and cultural contexts. The book fuses scholarly analysis with engaging prose, reflecting the literary style of the mid-19th century while also serving as a sociocultural commentary on contemporary notions of the occult. De Vere meticulously catalogs various forms of magic, from folk traditions to esoteric practices, emphasizing their evolution in modern society while also addressing skepticism toward such phenomena, thereby inviting readers to reflect on the intersection of belief and rationality that characterizes this era. M. Schele de Vere was a prominent linguist and scholar of the 19th century, renowned for his contributions to linguistics and literature. His diverse background, coupled with a keen interest in cultural anthropology, led him to investigate the richly layered world of magical beliefs. De Vere's academic rigor and passion for the supernatural informed his approach, allowing him to juxtapose empirical research with the mystical elements of magic, thus framing the significance of these practices within a broader philosophical discourse. "Modern Magic" is a vital read for anyone interested in the intricate tapestry of human belief systems. It offers a nuanced understanding not only of magical practices but also of the cultural and psychological dimensions that underpin them. De Vere's insightful analysis invites readers to reconsider the impact of magic in our lives, making it an essential text for scholars, historians, and those drawn to the mysterious realms of human experience.

    No Blacks in Heaven

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. This book was written by a Black Christian for Black Christians, especially those in positions of power, who trade the gospel for the cause of “Social Justice”. 
    Some have built careers and platforms from racial grievance, turning ministry into activism and the pulpit into a protest. 
    Many of the Black Clergy seem to cling to Black identity and victimhood more than to Christ Himself. Race and Culture do not have the power to sanctify. Bitterness will not lead to heaven. 
    If the gospel we preach fuels division instead of forgiveness, anger instead of grace, then it is no longer the gospel of Jesus Christ. 
     
    Author’s Note on AI assistance: I wrote this book collaboratively with an AI language model (ChatGPT). I began by drafting my own ideas, scenes, and narrative direction, and then used AI-generated suggestions to expand and refine the text. I reviewed, edited, and shaped every passage until it fully aligned with my creative intent. While AI served as a helpful writing tool, the voice, story, and final decisions are entirely my own.

    Diana Oestreich, a combat medic in the Army National Guard, enlisted like both her parents before her. But when she was commanded to run over an Iraqi child to keep her convoy rolling and keep her battle buddies safe, she was confronted with a choice she never thought she'd have to make. 
     
     
     
    Torn between God's call to love her enemy and her country's command to be willing to kill, Diana chose to wage peace in a place of war. For the remainder of her tour of duty, Diana sought to be a peacemaker—leading to an unlikely and beautiful friendship with an Iraqi family. A beautiful and gut-wrenching memoir, Waging Peace exposes the false divide between loving our country and living out our faith's call to love our enemies—whether we perceive our enemy as the neighbor with an opposing political viewpoint, the clerk wearing a head-covering, or the refugee from a war-torn country. By showing that us-versus-them is a false choice, this book will inspire each of us to choose love over fear.

    In New York Times bestselling author Shelley Shepard Gray’s latest novel of suspense in her Amish of Hart County series, an EMT falls for a woman with ties to an Amish community where people are dying similar, suspicious deaths. 
    Sadie Detweiler never imagined she’d move to Kentucky, yet here she is: a pregnant, unmarried Amish girl banished by unforgiving parents to live with kin she barely knows. The men are gruff and her cousins are secretive. Worst of all, elderly matriarch Verba becomes mysteriously ill shortly after Sadie moves in. When EMT Noah Freeman arrives, Sadie immediately notices he’s unlike any other Amish man she’s met. Noah is warm, confident, and has an easy way with practically everyone in the community, both Amish and English. Though Sadie is drawn to him, she has little hope he will reciprocate her feelings once he learns she’s with child. 
    Noah can’t understand how a girl as sweet and lovely as Sadie ended up sleeping on a cot in Verba Stauffer’s kitchen. He also senses Sadie is terrified of something. Concerned, he checks up on her. Eventually they strike up a friendship and soon their attraction is undeniable. When Verba later dies at the hospital and her death is followed by two others, Noah’s boss wants him to dig around the Amish community for clues. He agrees—for Sadie’s sake—because only the truth will keep her safe and by his side.
