DOWNLOAD EBOOK" Explores the historical rise of the literary fairy tale as genre in the late seventeenth century. In his examinations of key classical fairy tales, Zipes traces their unique metamorphoses in history with stunning discoveries that reveal their ideological relationship to domination and oppression. Tales such as Beauty and the Beast, Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, and Rumplestiltskin have become part of our everyday culture and shapers of our identities. In this lively work, Jack Zipes explores the historical rise of the literary fairy tale as genre in the late seventeenth century and examines the ideological relationship of classic fairy tales to domination and oppression in Western society. The fairy tale received its most "mythic" articulation in America. Consequently, Zipes sees Walt Disney's Snow White as an expression of American male individualism, film and literary interpretations of L. Frank Baum's The Wizard of Oz as critiques of American myths, and Robert Bly's Iron John as a misunderstanding of folklore and traditional fairy tales. This book will change forever the way we look at the fairy tales of our youth.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDo you understand what the Bible says about blessings, demonic curses, and spells? Do you realize that you can be cursed a similar way you can be blessed? The Bible is not a one-sided book because as it talks about Blessings, it also talks about Curses. Today, similarly as in Biblical occasions, individuals with cruel intentions still place curses, spells, and wickedness on others. They can force undetectable obstructions in your day to day existence that can influence your wellbeing, business, and connections in profoundly negative ways. Also, curses can come not only from an external perspective through condemnations and black magic, but from inside ourselves if we harbor disdain, harshness, cruelty, and unforgiveness in our souls (Matthew 18:21-35). Be that as it may, Christians can't be completely and completely controlled by the Devil was because of the Holy Spirit. This book helps you break all curses, spells, witchcraft, and even evil intentions, witchcraft, and wish craft sent to you in just seven days. Learn how to deliver yourself as a Christian from the antics of evil-doers; how to be loaded up with the Holy Spirit and move from being under a curse to appreciating the gifts and blessings of Abraham and Jesus Christ! In this book, you will figure out how to break through from these powers working in your life by revoking all contact, relationship with, and cooperation in wickedness and by following Jesus Christ completely and getting His incredible endowments through the Holy Spirit of God. It is the Cross of Jesus Christ that will liberate you. You can't do this without anyone's help. It isn't sorcery; You don't counter enchantment with more wizardry. If you, a friend, or family member need help managing invisible boundaries and impediments that might be restricting God's blessings and destiny for your life, "Breaking Demonic Spells and Curses", is the book to help you. It will invalidate any condemnations to get God's endowments in your day to day existence.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe New York Times bestseller – a “crystal-clear, constantly engaging” (Jared Diamond) exploration of the role that religious belief plays in our lives and our interactions For all the thousands of books that have been written about religion, few until this one have attempted to examine it scientifically: to ask why—and how—it has shaped so many lives so strongly. Is religion a product of blind evolutionary instinct or rational choice? Is it truly the best way to live a moral life? Ranging through biology, history, and psychology, Daniel C. Dennett charts religion’s evolution from “wild” folk belief to “domesticated” dogma. Not an antireligious screed but an unblinking look beneath the veil of orthodoxy, Breaking the Spell will be read and debated by believers and skeptics alike.
