Hell's Spells


Book Description

Are we living in a spellbound world? When we think of spells, the picture conjured up in our minds often has more to do with fables we learned as children. An ugly old woman in a pointed hat reciting incantations at a boiling cauldron. The reality, however, is much more dangerous. Once given access to our lives, Satan can manipulate, dominate, and intimidate even the strongest Christian. Hell’s Spells draws from Paul’s writings to the Galatian church to bring you a fresh awareness of Satan’s spells and strategies, demonstrating how you can break free from the influence of such evils as: · Controlling spirits · Generational curses · Witchcraft in the home Cutting through the sensationalism and spookiness of spiritual warfare, Raley enables you to identify, understand, and break every bewitching spell the devil wants to launch against your life, your family, and your purpose.




Hell's Spells


Book Description

In a town like Ordinary, anything can happen. Unfortunately for Delaney Reed, it usually does... Police Chief Delaney Reed’s little beach town where gods vacation and monsters reside is finally back to normal. No possessed souls, no vortexes to hell, and absolutely no one’s turned into a frog lately. Then the queen of demons appears in her backseat begging to hide out in Ordinary, and Delaney knows her peace and quiet is over and out. Dealing with a demon fugitive isn’t the only thing on Delaney’s plate. She’s also trying to figure out why her boyfriend, Ryder Bailey, has been sneaking out of town every night and why her sisters are keeping secrets. But when the gods in town begin to act funny, Delaney knows something strange is going on. It might have something to do with two powerful magical items that suddenly go missing. Or it might have something to do with those little gaps of time Delaney’s been losing, and the memories she can’t quite recall…




Hell Bent


Book Description

USA Today Bestselling author Devon Monk’s fast, gritty, magic-fueled urban fantasy adventure. Enemies-to-brothers, Life magic vs. Death magic, end of the world, no holds barred action. *Fully updated author edition: bursting with extra Heart, Snark, and Ass-kicking.* Shamus “Shame” Flynn is a Death magic user with a smart mouth and a bad attitude. His job riding a desk while keeping an eye on the city’s humdrum magic users isn’t making his mood any better, either. Sure, the most dangerous magic was locked away for good three years ago, but that doesn’t mean people have stopped trying to access the old, deadly powers. Shame isn’t trying to access the deadly powers, because he already found a loophole. He can break magic and make it just as powerful as it used to be--as long as he gets the cooperation of goody-good Life magic user, Terric Conely. Terric Conley has devoted his life to enforcing magical laws, and he’s not about to change now. Besides, breaking magic will only lead to disaster, and he refuses to be a part of Shame’s death wish. But when dark government forces and an assassin bent on revenge align to kill the people Shame and Terric care about, there is only one choice left. Break magic, pay the price, and hunt the killers all the way to hell and back again.




The Ghost on the Ramparts and Other Essays in the Humanities


Book Description

The Ghost on the Ramparts presents fourteen of R. B. Heilman's essays on the teaching of English and the profession of the humanities. These essays deal with such diverse topics as administrative ways and means, pedagogical shibboleths and heresies, uses and abuses of literacy, clichés of style, moot issues of history and criticism, and above all the nature of the humanities and their continuing significance. The persuasive discussions of all these subjects reflect the author's wide professional experience, his wit and wisdom, and his superb sense of style. The chairman of a distinguished English department for over twenty years, Heilman well knew the ins and outs of administration. He considers not only the practical problems of maintaining a large department but also the more complex matters involving a chairman's attitude toward deans, toward colleagues of many kinds, and toward oneself as a committed teacher and administrator. Also a literary critic of established reputation, Heilman's explicative side appears in most of these essays as he provides illustrative examples from many different sources while discussing the nature of history and criticism in the humanities. The unity of these essays is no less impressive than the mind of their maker, who instances a remarkable capacity for seeing life in the humanities steadily and whole.




Evil Unleashed


Book Description

The occult seduces in many ways. It promises secret knowledge and magical powers. It teases of enlightenment and transformation. It enchants with mysteries and wonders. But therein lies the trap. Once the shiny bait is taken, the hook is pulled. The prey is left to slowly perish, gasping for breath in a metaphysical dream that has turned into a nightmare. The occult is nothing if not dangerous. It opens channels that are best left closed. It attracts entities that don’t play by the rules. And it demands more – always more – than what was bargained for. These true-life accounts reveal the heartache and horror that can occur when people participate in the occult – be it witchcraft, Ouija boards, white magic or black – and knowingly or not, release dark spirits into the human realm. Dabbler or devotee, it doesn’t matter how deeply one is committed or involved. Once evil is unleashed, it treats everyone the same: hellishly.
