Nobody knows your DNA like your government. Routine DNA scans flag individuals with genetic mutations. To systematically purge humanity of corrupt genetics, authorities pluck them from society, never to be seen or heard from again. This is done on a global scale. Kyla Thomas, a nurse technician who already lost her husband to these removals, does everything in her power to protect Sam, her cancer-ridden son. Using illegal methods to scrub his DNA samples, she manages to hide him in plain sight until an accident at school reveals his secret. Although temporarily able to fight off capture, the government’s relentless pursuit of the fugitives rips Sam from Kyla’s grasp and jails her. But few things can prevent a desperate mother’s search for her son, and in the process, Kyla begins to uncover government secrets only a select few were ever meant to know.

WHERE DID WE COME FROM? Drawing upon a wealth of research into archeology, genetics, reincarnation memories, out-of-body experiences, parapsychology, cross cultural cosmology, and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, Cremo provides a refreshing p

Devilution is the interjection of the devil, his philosophies, ideologies, and rebellion into God’s creation, including the affairs of man’s existence throughout history, focusing on the emotional, psychological, and behavioral aspects of man’s relating to God and other human beings. The word devilution will be synonymous with devolution and will serve as a surrogate for this word in many instances, revealing man’s true spiritual state.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The #1 New York Times bestselling author of World War Z is back with “the Bigfoot thriller you didn’t know you needed in your life, and one of the greatest horror novels I’ve ever read” (Blake Crouch, author of Dark Matter and Recursion). FINALIST FOR THE LOCUS AWARD As the ash and chaos from Mount Rainier’s eruption swirled and finally settled, the story of the Greenloop massacre has passed unnoticed, unexamined . . . until now. The journals of resident Kate Holland, recovered from the town’s bloody wreckage, capture a tale too harrowing—and too earth-shattering in its implications—to be forgotten. In these pages, Max Brooks brings Kate’s extraordinary account to light for the first time, faithfully reproducing her words alongside his own extensive investigations into the massacre and the legendary beasts behind it. Kate’s is a tale of unexpected strength and resilience, of humanity’s defiance in the face of a terrible predator’s gaze, and, inevitably, of savagery and death. Yet it is also far more than that. Because if what Kate Holland saw in those days is real, then we must accept the impossible. We must accept that the creature known as Bigfoot walks among us—and that it is a beast of terrible strength and ferocity. Part survival narrative, part bloody horror tale, part scientific journey into the boundaries between truth and fiction, this is a Bigfoot story as only Max Brooks could chronicle it—and like none you’ve ever read before. Praise for Devolution “Delightful . . . [A] tale of supernatural mayhem that fans of King and Crichton alike will enjoy.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “The story is told in such a compelling manner that horror fans will want to believe and, perhaps, take the warning to heart.”—Booklist (starred review)

“He took the blind man by the hand . . . and when he had spit on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, ‘Do you see anything?’ He said, ‘I see men, but they look like trees, walking.’ Then Jesus laid his hands on his eyes again and he saw everything clearly.” Mark’s account of a blind man needing two healing touches from Jesus graphically depicts the stubborn blindness of his disciples. Peter epitomized this blindness when he was tempted by the popular view that Jesus was the Rome-conquering savior of Israel, rather than the suffering Servant of God. Also, the disciples didn’t understand that Jesus miraculously fed the famished crowds with a few loaves and fish to meet immediate need and provide leftover fragments of food for future need. Salvation was pictured for all time. Essentially, Mark’s Gospel gathered “leftovers,” historical fragments of Jesus’ life to convey God’s salvation across history to those Kierkegaard called “the follower at second hand.” Like Peter, disciples and even the crowds are tempted to false “salvations” where self is lost. But ironically, persons only become a self by taking up their own cross, enabled by Jesus’ second touch.

"He who thinks he can solve all problems without prayer, walks in pride. For it is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." *** Though it may seem impossible to open the eyes of those who are willfully blind, with God all things are possible. *** “GOD LOVES YOU. GOD DEFENDED THE VICTIMS FROM THE BEGINNINGS.” *** Whoever despises the Morality of Forgiveness will be saturated by Justice. *** I have searched a man with a candle during the day like Diogenes, the cynic, and I found Him in Heaven, and His Name is Jesus Christ. *** A blind man has the liberty to deny the existence of the Sun, but the blind man exists because of the Sun.” “** God loves the humankind, be humane! *** The truth is the delight of angels and the pain of men. *** The Holy Infinite Love of God, is our Judge and Savior, at the same time. Be Holy! *** The one who is perfect in the love for God is made perfect by God. *** The light is powerful, but the men are blind. *** The Humanity is our Power, not our weakness. *** Christmas doesn't mean cakes, but the love of God. *** Rejecting God for group conformity is an unforgivable sin. *** This is the judgment: The Light has come into the world and the men loved the darkness more than The Light because their works were evil” John 3:19 *** “The Holy Infinite Love of God, is our Judge and Savior, at the same time. *** The philosophy of darkness is more dangerous than the atomic bomb because it separates us from our protector, God. This book is a spiritual fight against the philosophy of darkness, it is the philosophy of light and it will help you to find your way home, into the Light. God, bless you all, my brothers. ll, and above all thank you!”

If God is speaking to us, then what is He saying? That is what most people want to know. This book reveals God's love language from Genesis all the way into the New Testament when Jesus finally appears on the scene. It takes an in-depth look at God's communication with Israel but also the world outside of Israel. It explores the blunders and calamities that God's people get themselves into and reveals God's response as a love language. Each book of the Bible tells a unique story, and within that story, God is speaking a language of love as reconciliation. The goal is to see God's love even if that language is challenging at times. Within each disaster of the biblical narrative, God reveals Himself as faithful and loving. Even in God's judgement, there is a beautiful language of love being revealed, which is clearly seen in God's exchange with Pharaoh. This book will help answer difficult questions about the Old Testament while pointing out God's method of communication with the people of the Old and New Testament. The aim is to help you see the conversation between Creator and creation as both purposeful and affectionate.

Animal minds and animal ethics - different origins, connecting similarities. Philosophers working on questions of animal ethics usually draw on research into animal cognition and subscribe to strong positions regarding animal minds. Whereas philosophers interested in the question of animal minds sometimes draw ethical conclusions from the positions they argue for. In spite of such overlaps, these two areas of research have grown up separately. One reason for this separation stems from the institutional distinction between theoretical and practical philosophy. The principal aim of this anthology is to build bridges between the fields and different philosophical approaches of animal ethics and of animal minds and cognition.
