A new way for Christians to think about sexuality Author Miguel De La Torre, a well-respected ethicist and professorknown for his innovative readings of Christian doctrine, rejectsboth the liberal and conservative prejudices about sex. He insteaddevelops an ethic that is liberative yet grounded soundly in theBible; a sexuality that celebrates God’s gift of great sex byfostering intimacy, vulnerability and openness between lovingpartners. In A Lily Among the Thorns, De La Torre examines theBible, current events, history and our culture-at-large to show howand why racism, sexism, and classism have distortedChristianity’s central teachings about sexuality. The authorshows how the church’s traditionally negative attitudestoward sex in general—and toward women, people of color, andgays in particular—have made it difficult, if not impossible,to create a biblically based and just sexual ethic. But when theBible is read from the viewpoint of those who have beenmarginalized in our society, preconceived notions aboutChristianity and sex get turned on their heads. Taking onhot-button topics such as pornography, homosexuality, prostitution,and celibacy, the author examines how “reading from themargins” provides a liberating approach to dealing withissues of sexuality.

London 1815, just before Waterloo... After her noble father disowned her, Lady Serena Ravenshaw clawed her way from streetwalker to courtesan to prosperous innkeeper. Now she's feared and respected from one end of London to the other, by the lowest dregs of the city's underworld and the upper echelons of the beau monde, and she'll do anything to keep it that way. When mild-mannered chemist Solomon Hathaway turns up in her office, asking for her help, she immediately recognizes him from one fateful night years before. She's been watching and waiting for him for years-so she can turn the tables and put him in her debt, of course, and not because he looked like an angel and was kind to her when she needed it most. She's determined not to wonder what put that fresh grief in his eyes. But after a betrayal even Serena didn't expect, she must put aside her pride and work with Solomon to stop a ring of French spies and save her beloved inn, her freedom-and England itself.

The Twentieth Century should have taught humanity how it is the world could spin out of control and be led into two World Wars, when a tyrannical ruler seizes power. But sorry to say the worst is yet to come, and here in the first decades of the Twenty-First Century. The current woes of society will lead to an antichrist. The "Global Leader" the Bible speaks of as "that Man of Sin," as it is written in 2nd Thessalonians 2:3, "Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition"The consequences thereof is what happens when the Bible-believing Christian becomes enemy number one in this "New Oppressive World Order." Here is the story of one such young woman in her midtwenties, whose horrific crimes against humankind is her love for the Lord and her belief in the Bible as it is written. She is but one of many and through the tremendous loss of family and love. With the long arm of the law ramping up a complete surveillance society, she manages to keep the faith and, along the way, finds the faith of others are everywhere, and as it is written in Genesis 50:20, "But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive."

Lloyd Zing, university lecturer, tells himself it does not really matter if he has sex with a female student who wants her exam scores influenced. Everybody does it. No one will know. The HOD, his boss, will not know. Besides, his wife is late. He does it and is infected with HIV. The monster is alive! In his dilemma, he gets hypnotized. He uses the virgin cure ( the younger the age the more potent the cure') and rapes his four year old daughter. He commits suicide once he realises the deception. The monster rages! Philip Zing, Lloyd's brother and urologist, learns what Lloyd has done. He is devastated but fights and redirects his passion to giving hope to the monster's victims. Philip has a lovely wife and a dreamer daughter whose dreams always come true. Citizens of The Earth (CiTE) is a gang of six powerful cultic stinking rich business gurus. Van Mirkovich is Don and leader. Together with his heartless CiTE cohorts, wield powerful influences on the economies of many countries. No one trespasses their path without paying the ultimate price. They murder with impunity. The hit man is the notorious African American, T.M. Kay. Virgin cure myth is CiTE's brain child. SOMBC' condoms and the nocuous JG vaccine equally trail behind. The propagator, Lady Sabrina Zithulele rules supreme in the Southern Africa territories via their clinic Locale international. The monster is unleashed! The result? Death to the continent! Philip, with the help of his childhood friend Martin Musawenkosi, Prof Elettra B. Alessio and Barrister Kayo Cadman, sets up a non profit organisation called Lily'. They aim to give care and hope to those living with the monster. Through the likes of Lola, Bola, Chucks, Tunde and Bibi, victim and non-victims, but sympathetic multilevel awareness wrung campaigners, Lily's messages soon spread to all strata of society. Hope is born! CiTE's new target is the economy of Africa's most populous country. CiTE finds Lily, dangles bait and condition. Would Lily accept marketing SOMBC condoms and the nocuous JG vaccine? Lily rejects condition and offer. Lily is marked! Philip and Martin speak at the one million-man match against this monstrous Africa's plague in Windhoek, Namibia. The match turns out more repertories than hoped for; colourful African dancers striving to outdo each other and more. CiTE becomes aggravated and vows to annihilate Lily. CiTE is Lily's thorns. The contract is out! CiTE sniper, Kay does what he does best. He murders Martin Musawenkosi. Now, the hunter is haunted! Haunted? Not likely for a veteran killer, except .. Then in a twist of faith, he turns around, quits CiTE and joins Lily. Faith triumphs! CiTE kills deserting members; such is the rule, written and must be so. Two attempts already failed. The Don and the Mobster, heartless Barbara Berthold tries again. And the CIA, what is their part in this? To choke the Lily or root out the thorns? Hope lives on

Born the son of a clergyman on October 18, 1662, Matthew Henry was ordained into the British Presbyterian Church where he held the pastorate in Chester from 1687 to 1712. He was widowed, married again and had 10 children, three whom died in infancy. Henry died in 1714. Henry began work on his commentary as "Notes On The New Testament" in 1704 and the monumental work was completed shortly before his death in 1714. Remembered as a caring pastor, a passionate lover of the Word of God, and a man of great personal integrity, Matthew Henry has left his mark on the hearts of countless Christians who seek a deeper understanding of the riches that Scripture contains. This edition of Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible uses the King James text and is abridged from the original six volumes while faithfully retaining all of the vibrant themes of that classic work. Everything here is in Matthew Henry's own words and nothing relevant to today's reader has been omitted.
