Abaddon’s goal is to derail the carpenter’s prophecies and prove that he deserves his rightful place at the right hand of the Almighty. First, Abaddon must focus on four burgeoning hindrances: Aaron, the young Jew chosen by the carpenter to be placed on Archangel Michael’s protectorate list; Cindy, the precocious cheerleader who has appointed herself leader of the A-Team; James, the son of a war hero who aspires to emulate his father; and Chris, the rebellious son of Christian parents. They form an unbreakable bond. To triumph, Abaddon must destroy them or turn them into allies. As the forces of good and evil do battle to influence the A-Team, you will embark on a journey with Aaron, Cindy, James and Chris as they mature into adulthood and begin an adventure that takes them face to face with the coming Antichrist in Aaron’s Angels, book one of a trilogy.
"This poetical collection, Angels the Size of Houses (70-plus sheets of cool and frantic paginated speech) is a buzzing and hyper-inventive set of multifarious devices, with exceptional prosodical hazardry and multiple re-echoes along its spacious corridors - with many doorways for we and us open to its flaring physiological recitatives. The passage construction is familial and domestic in tone-row, while also widely outlandish, saltarello-style and stylish also with it. There are culinary hints and self-displays in great lexical abundance to whet the whistle, with phantasm and modest astonishments in witty comedy, escaping grandeur but never remote from scalar enlargements, often wisely gnomic, gazing out of the window at continental drift and its markings. William Burroughs is reported to have replied, when asked his opinion about death, 'well it's a step in the right direction', obsequious in full funeral rigout, laburnum decor, with many choice aromas and childhood joys. Indeed alongside outbreaks of passionate attachment with parents and kids, the schedule is mostly immune to current political conflagrations and their drear localisms. The protocols display exceptional narrative candour, own-brand, also in white, offering vagaries of choice oddity, medical and arctic in well-tempered rational diffusion; anatomical by alternating reduction and upfront funny by marginal exploits; work and glancing damage on all sides, broken and 'racing to the bottom', where else. Reading along and across these pages is unquestionable adventurism, rapid eye movements seem to catch up with and overrun occupational impatience, as dear reader in friendship you soon enough shall find out." -J.H. Prynne "Every poem is a dizzy word-dazzle, a dance of images, expressing a real life of work, babies, love and loss. Some are shaped by word-music. Some scatter the page and the mind, stretching poetry to its limits, and leave me wondering. No bad thing." -Gillian Clarke "Poetry that vibrates on its own frequency, and invites the reader into its own surreal soundscapes. Here, new connections of language make us see the world afresh, and ask the reader to tune in to the long-held notes of truth just beneath the surface" -Andrew McMillan "Here, in this beautiful book, is the poetry of the possible. With words that are 'heaven sent and glitter prone', Aaron takes us on a journey that is as vital as it is extravagant, urging us into the fantastic, and turning our everyday scenes into glittering vistas. It is a collection to be dipped into again and again, one that leaps with language, and lends its readers fresh eyes." -Theophilus Kwek
This is that story as told through the eyes of a boy raised in the faith of God, yet-through drug and alcohol use, along with a wayward rock and roll dream-falls away from the man he wanted to be. When a tragic loss strikes, he loses himself and his sanity. Eventually, the legal system condemns him as a man not fit to be among others. As he hits bottom, he wants it back: his sanity, his life, his dreams, and his faith in a God to which he still clings. Of Gods, Angels, and Kings is a story of a man who emerges from substance abuse issues and an incurable mental illness. At long last, he perceives God's hand in his life and that-as long as he continues to challenge himself to improve daily and grow in the Spirit-his life will bear the fruits.
This book not only argues for the sanctity of the seventh-day Sabbath. It is this author’s view that Christians have ample justification for observing Sunday as a holy day, but not to claim that it has the same blessed and made holy power to it that the seventh-day Sabbath has. Moreover, it is here pointed out that even the Quran, if read carefully, can support the seventh-day Sabbath.
