This book is the first work that comprehensively presents the accounts of Lia Eden, a former flower arranger who claims to have received divine messages from the Archangel Gabriel and founded the divine Eden Kingdom in her house in Jakarta.

Di luar jam kantor dan akhir pekan, Mas Arif Biantoro melepas semua atribut kepolisiannya untuk mengebunkan 550 saca Plukenetia volubilis di lahan 5.000 m2. Anggota staf bidang Sistem Pengawasan (Siwas) Kepolisian Resor Tanahlaut, Kalimantan Selatan, itu menanam saca sejak awal 2020.

Solahudin’s rigorous account fills many gaps in our knowledge of jihadist groups, how they interacted with the state and events abroad, and why they at times resorted to extreme violence, such as the 2002 Bali bombings.
