Download or read book Outcasts of the Gods? written by Hazel Petrie and published by Auckland University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-25 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Us Maoris used to practice slavery just like them poor Negroes had to endure in America . . .' says Beth Heke in Once Were Warriors. ‘Oh those evil colonials who destroyed Maori culture by ending slavery and cannibalism while increasing the life expectancy,' wrote one sarcastic blogger. So was Maori slavery ‘just like' the experience of Africans in the Americas and were British missionaries or colonial administrators responsible for ending the practice? What was the nature of freedom and unfreedom in Maori society and how did that intersect with the perceptions of British colonists and the anti-slavery movement? A meticulously researched book, Outcasts of the Gods? looks closely at a huge variety of evidence to answer these questions, analyzing bondage and freedom in traditional Maori society; the role of economics and mana in shaping captivity; and how the arrival of colonists and new trade opportunities transformed Maori society and the place of captives within it.

Download or read book Chiefs of Industry written by Hazel Petrie and published by Auckland University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on a wide range of sources in both English and Maori, this study explores the entrepreneurial activity of New Zealand's indigenous Maori in the early colonial period. Focusing on the two industries—coastal shipping and flourmilling—where Maori were spectacularly successful in the 1840s and 1850s, this title examines how such a society was able to develop capital-intensive investments and harness tribal ownership quickly and effectively to render commercial advantages. A discussion of the sudden decline in the &“golden age&” of Maori enterprise—from changing market conditions, to land alienation—is also included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: December 1348. What if you had just six days to save your soul? With the country in the grip of the Black Death, brothers John and William fear that they will shortly die and suffer in the afterlife. But as the end draws near, they are given an unexpected choice: either to go home and spend their last six days in their familiar world, or to search for salvation across the forthcoming centuries, living each one of their remaining days ninety-nine years after the last. John and William choose the future and find themselves in 1447, ignorant of almost everything going on around them. The year 1546 brings no more comfort, and 1645 challenges them in further unexpected ways. It is not just that technology is changing; things they have taken for granted all their lives prove to be short-lived. As they find themselves in stranger and stranger times, the reader travels with them, seeing the world through their eyes as it shifts through disease, progress, enlightenment, and war. But their time is running out—can they do something to redeem themselves before the six days are up?

Book Synopsis The Two Outcasts Of Eden by : Kingsley Chinedum Obi
Download or read book The Two Outcasts Of Eden written by Kingsley Chinedum Obi and published by XinXii. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story begins the age before the beginning of anything, when everything was nothing; when there was no heaven or earth, time or space; there was no God as there was nothing to rule. It was the age when the Being called God was all alone but engorged with the Food He ate, the Food which consisted of both Evil and Good, of Light and Darkness. The SUPREME BEING exists all alone before the beginning but is engorged with Food which He eventually separates into beings, the Gods of Light, first of whom is named YO, through whom comes his betrothed, a she-man named EL-SHEKINAH, and zillions of other beings of light. The same Food separates into His faecal waste which becomes Death, through whom comes another set of beings, the Gods of Darkness, starting with LEVIATHAN, all of whom are today called demons, all of whom are later quartered in the large intestine of creation bathed in darkness called The EARTH, awaiting the day of their defecation, just like faeces that they are. El-Shekinah is given Earth to govern, indeed a betrothal period, but in matrices of cobwebs of events he becomes corrupt, a corruption instigated by the Gods of Darkness, a means by which they adopt him as their son. And in a huge dose of rage for being spited by Yo, El-Shekinah leads the very first war of Darkness against Light, which results into the destruction of the first Earth with its humans, animals and vegetation, which necessitates its recreation by Yo. And so the praxis that the Biblical Adam named ISHI in this story is not the first man recreated and is not the one made in the image and likeness of the Gods is then explored. This motif brews with the evidence that the White races are the first to be recreated; they are the ones made in the image and likeness of the Gods, attributes that are steeped in the ability to have everything in dominion; the capacity to create things that are both useful and lethal, and the propensity to multiply. They are created by Yo but humanized by the great two Gods - Yo the leader of Light and El-Shekinah, the evidence of which is seen today in the double helix of man’s DNA structure, being two serpents coiled upon a spine. Ishi, the Biblical Aadam, is then formed as a baby but humanized all alone by Yo who instructs him to be the one to teach true righteousness and true worship to the Whites, the rulers, so they can rule in righteous royalty. Ishi is given a she-man which is named ISHA, who is to be helpmeet to him and not a wife, but he eventually makes her his wife. El-Shekinah enters into a sexual union with Isha, while promising her a worldwide rulership, and the resultant pregnancy becomes the biblical Cain who is named ODACHI. Eventually Isha herself, in keeping to the mandate given her by El-Shekinah seduces Ishi into having sex with her in order to corrupt him and in order also to be a ruler sitting upon all men as she is promised by El-Shekinah. As an aftermath of sex with Isha, Ishi is made to hear the consequences of his action and is shown a vision in which he sees El-Shekinah emblazoned in the night sky with arms outstretched and two legs joined together, a quintessential Cross, which depicts sun and moon worship, the enigmatic symbol of false worship birthed in all religions, through which El-Shekinah deceives the whole world into false righteousness and false worship. During this exposition he is also made aware of the falsehood that shall descend upon man such as the baking of truth and falsehood as Scripture in all religions; people worshipping El-Shekinah thinking they are worshiping God in all religions, the virgin birth deception, the false Jerusalem and false Israel deception, the falsehood of one man being made to die for the sin of the whole world and so many others. The story then cascades to its end, with Yo allowing El-Shekinah the lordship of Earth from thence till the end when Darkness, just like Faeces becomes expelled, a certainty also made known to Ishi by one of the sons of God.

Download or read book The Rain God written by Arturo Islas and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2021-01-19 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Rain God is a lost masterpiece that helped launch a legion of writers. Its return, in times like these, is a plot twist that perhaps only Arturo Islas himself could have conjured. May it win many new readers." — Luis Alberto Urrea, bestselling author of The House of Broken Angels and The Hummingbird’s Daughter "Rivers, rivulets, fountains and waters flow, but never return to their joyful beginnings; anxiously they hasten on to the vast realms of the Rain God." A beloved Southwestern classic—as beautiful, subtle and profound as the desert itself—Arturo Islas's The Rain God is a breathtaking masterwork of contemporary literature. Set in a fictional small town on the Texas-Mexico border, it tells the funny, sad and quietly outrageous saga of the children and grandchildren of Mama Chona the indomitable matriarch of the Angel clan who fled the bullets and blood of the 1911 revolution for a gringo land of promise. In bold creative strokes, Islas paints on unforgettable family portrait of souls haunted by ghosts and madness--sinners torn by loves, lusts and dangerous desires. From gentle hearts plagued by violence and epic delusions to a child who con foretell the coming of rain in the sweet scent of angels, here is a rich and poignant tale of outcasts struggling to live and die with dignity . . . and to hold onto their past while embracing an unsteady future.
Book Synopsis The Prodigal God by : Timothy Keller
Download or read book The Prodigal God written by Timothy Keller and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2008-10-30 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet uncovers the essential message of Jesus, locked inside his most familiar parable. Newsweek called renowned minister Timothy Keller "a C.S. Lewis for the twenty-first century" in a feature on his first book, The Reason for God. In that book, he offered a rational explanation of why we should believe in God. Now, in The Prodigal God, Keller takes his trademark intellectual approach to understanding Christianity and uses the parable of the prodigal son to reveal an unexpected message of hope and salvation. Within that parable Jesus reveals God's prodigal grace toward both the irreligious and the moralistic. This book will challenge both the devout and skeptics to see Christianity in a whole new way.
Book Synopsis Age of the Gentiles and the White God Delusion by : Timothy Hugee
Download or read book Age of the Gentiles and the White God Delusion written by Timothy Hugee and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a logical Bible study and in-depth examination of Race, Sex, Power, Politics and War. The Author addresses the false doctrine and propaganda that has been fronted for centuries, by Christianity and Judaism, as to their supremacy above other religions and races. He also examines the role these two religions have played in promoting these false doctrines, which literally contradict, the written laws of the Bible. The book further looks at Islam where the Author acknowledges the origin and foundation of its original teachings, as is likened by God's Commandments and as written in the Holy Bible and Holy Qur'an. The Author takes a scalpel to dissect race and religion to its core. The Author separates the gentile dogma of Christianity and Judaism and highlights their contradiction to the Laws of God. Lastly, he dwells on separation of races based on their individual religious philosophies, concluding in the introduction of Lucifer as a Chief Architect of Gentile religious doctrine and practices. Lucifer's mission is to maintain the delusion of the white God and its false power to rule over Black and Semite people. Quotes from Author: I am challenging the world's Christian religious believers, communities and the general masses to follow the true laws of God. They should stop falling prey to the False Luciferian Doctrine and the delusion of White God. I affirm to the world that, I am a true servant of God who is challenging all religious ministers to debate evidence and facts, referred to in this book through the lesson chapters, so that they may distinguish the truth from the lie. I challenge them to debate about the alleged religious authorities in reference to the Christian and Jewish faith, in order to determine, if truly, their religious practices is of the God of Heaven and Earth. I challenge all ministers to prove that they follow and believe in the commandments, Laws and Statues of God as written in the scriptures. I further challenge all of them to debate the true ethnology and race of God's chosen people; his first family being the black and Semite (Hebrews), who are identified by their skin pigmentation and coloration; and their true religion to be Abrahamic. This would also prove that True' Israelites are cousins to the Ishmaelite's. In addition, I challenge all ministers of Jewish Authority, to a debate, as to the true ethnology of True' Hebrews of the Land of Palestine and Canaan. It is worth noting that the true Hebrews were removed from the Holy land, and thereafter cursed by God and Scattered unto Gentile nations in all four corners of the earth. And shall remain there, until the second coming of Jesus; as was prophesied in his Revelation war against the Christian, Jewish Armies of Gog (Europe) and Magog (America, Israel), and as foretold in the book of Revelations. I challenge them to deny that it has been 2000 years of Christian Propaganda Crusade by the gentiles and gentile Jews, and Theologians, Philosophers and Historians, to hide the true identity of the true Israelites. Their mission has been to remove parts of, and alter the Holy Scriptures, thereby changing the Laws of God. Their intention is to make everyone follow Luciferian Doctrine. Because of this, God gave Revelation unto Jesus Christ, to bring forth the final Armageddon to all who changed His Laws. This led to his prophecy against the Christians (Nicolaitans) and Jewish doctrine (religion), which He hated, for they are the synagogue (disciples) of Satan.
