The belfry is inhabited by strange spirits. One spirit seems to wish good on others, while the demonic shadows mean only harm. Adam hears them both; they whisper to him and give him power. When thieves break into the church one night, Adam is the only witness, but by revealing himself, he would expose his only home. Adam has a choice.

Adam feels as though he is being watched, but with the help of new friends, he stays hidden as he fights to decide who he will call on for help. Will he side with the light or the darkness?

Book Synopsis The Art of the Text by : Susan R Harrow
Download or read book The Art of the Text written by Susan R Harrow and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2013-09-15 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art of the Text contributes to the fast-developing dialogue between textual studies and visual culture studies. It focuses on the processes through which writers think and readers respond visually and, in essays by researchers in literature, screen and visual studies, the volume explores the visuality of the literary and non-literary text, with a sustained focus on French material of the later nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Visuality is appraised here not as a state, but as a set of processes of adaptation, resistance, negotiation, and transformation. By reading visually, the contributors here reactivate the visual-textual relations of canonical texts - from Romanticism to Naturalism, Surrealism to high Modernism; from film to fan literature, television to picture language.

Book Synopsis Butterflies in the Belfry -- Serpents in the Cellar: An Unintended Pursuit for a Natural Christianity by : J. Michael Jones

This book was released on 2017-01-06 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1988 while working for a demanding Christian organization, Michael Jones moves his family to the Middle East to serve as missionaries to Muslims. Though Michael finds the Muslim people to be extremely hospitable, he discovers serious flaws within his own evangelical worldview. After a catastrophic collapse of faith, standing in middle of the post-evangelical wilderness, Michael contemplates possible paths out, including returning to agnosticism or even suicide. He takes the reader on an intimate yet intellectually enthralling journey through his personal history and the history of Western civilization. In the end, not only does he find the answers to his personal dilemma, but, inadvertently, he discovers a refreshing form of Christianity that has been forgotten. This book shares insights the author gained during front-line service amid the conflicts that arise when worldviews clash and presents his field-tested portrait of a raw, focused, and muscular Christianity.
