Every war come down to the flash of bright steel. Even when the air is full of magic . . . Aranthur and his friends have come together across different continents and realms with one purpose: to strike back against the forces which have torn a hole in the heavens and threaten to tear the world beneath them apart as well. With time running short, and treason at home, there are battles to be fought on the field, in the magical arena, and in the ever-deadly realm of politics, and they cannot fail anywhere or everything will fall. Victory will require enemies to trust one another, old foes to fight together, spies to reveal the truth and steadfast allies to betray long-corrupt rulers. Is Aranthu...

This book tells the story of a young man who struggles to find his way in a world that doesn’t seem to want him. He isn't smart enough or handsome enough. His skin is the wrong shade and his shaking nervousness is never understood. From his first steps as a child, he is exposed to life's harsh realities: poverty, violence, sexual abuse, neglect ... until finally, seeking to escape the cruelty and unfairness of the world by immersing himself in its questionable pleasures, he drifts further and further from a salvation he doesn't even know exists. In Mama Can You Hear Me, William Waters shares the story of his life with a candor and sincerity that is as touching as it is shocking at times. With his experiences and soul laid bare, he offers up his journey, from the depths of despair to the welcoming arms of God, who lifted him up, carried him through, and picked him up when he faltered. With faith, determination, and the grace of God, it is the story of a young man who survived.

Betty's pupils, fifteen barn-scented empty heads, test her mettle; Bet...

Employees have personal responsibilities as well as responsibilities to their employers. They also have rights. In order to maintain their well-being, employees need opportunities to resolve conflicting obligations.

Different aspects of the apocalypse have been researched for centuries, some from an ecclesiastical point of view, others focusing on moral issues. Still others have specialised in investigating the philosophical implications of the apocalypse which are relevant in all religions. The idea of the ultimate victory of good over evil and the beginning of the after-life, either in heaven or in hell, has become a cultural phenomenon which has already left its initially exclusively religious constraints. With this in mind the focus here is to discover how the apocalypse’s triumph can be witnessed in the arts, literature, music, and most recently, film, TV, and digital media thereby enabling a holistic view of what the Apocalypse means in contemporary terms. What we read here is the very essence of Apocalypse as a cultural phenomenon, something which reveals, which uncovers and allows us to see a new aspect or dimension.
