The nature of man appears to be on a downward spiral. Although a few true souls filter into Heaven, the borders of Hell are rapidly expanding to accomodate the remainder, and God stands by with indifference, watching the crisis unfold. When certain Angels begin to express their distress, God has to act, and Heaven has to decide whether it is wise to interfere once more in the mortal realm. The plan that is finally decided does not sit comfortably with all the factions of Heaven, nor possibly God himself. An Angel shall return to Earth as a twenty first century prophet and live the life of a mortal. However, the choice of Angel is controversial and some in Heaven would prefer this individual to fail. In an age where man believes that he knows virtually all there is to know, an Angel as defenceless as any other human soul takes the lonely journey into mortal life. His mission is to stem the tide of souls entering Hell by any means he considers fit. But there will be no helping hand from Heaven, he will sink or swim by his own actions, his own worth, his own belief.
Originally published as two books, Strangely Beautiful unites Leanna Renee Hieber's critically acclaimed novels in a single revised volume, restoring the author's original vision for the work. Miss Persephone Parker—known as Percy—is different, with her lustrous, snow-white hair, pearlescent pale skin, and uncanny ability to see and communicate with ghosts. Seeking to continue her education, Percy has come to Queen Victoria's London, to the Athens Academy. What she will learn there will change her life forever. Athens Academy is the citadel of The Guard, an ancient order that battles the forces of evil. The Victorian Guard, led by professor Alexi Rychman, is incomplete. They cannot defeat Jack the Ripper— who is more than the serial killer he appears to be—or the greater monster his appearance heralds. Percy's lifelong habit of concealment combined with Alexi's fevered search for the Guard's missing seventh nearly prove disastrous as ancient Greek myths begin playing out in modern, gaslit, Victorian London. Percy and her new friends and allies must overcome their preconceptions about each other and their own histories before they can set the world to rights. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
In the twenty-fourth chapter of Genesis a beautiful young woman offers assistance to a weary traveler and his camels, and out of that simple action, a marriage results-a marriage that offers profound lessons to couples today. Bible scholar and renowned speaker Ravi Zacharias draws five points critical to the long-lasting success of every marriage from the biblical story of the marriage of Isaac and Rebekah. "Real love folds together both the emotions and the will," writes Zacharias. "Without the emotions, marriage is a drudgery; without the will, it is a mockery." Building upon that foundational truth, Zacharias goes on to explain the principles of seeking the counsel of others when finding a mate, cherishing your partner, remaining pure, becoming a man or woman of prayer, and, finally, risking everything in a relationship in order to experience God's ideal for love. Couples everywhere, from those about to be married, to those who have been married for decades, will draw strength and wisdom for the journey of marriage as they learn from Ravi what it means to move from romance to lasting love.
