Shifter S Redemption

Being a shifter has its advantages. Only Hope Ambrose doesn’t know she’s a shifter. Not until Lucien Spencer, deemed “The Hunter,” ransacks her village, killing everyone she loves. On her dying friends’ lips, Hope will hear words that will literally change her life, and when she wakes up a wolf in an unknown land, things get weird. Alone to figure things out, and only her grief to keep her company, an unwanted stranger will introduce her to a hidden world of the “Changed Ones.” A race of shifter guardians that the Omniscients set in place to protect humanity from the evil that is Lucien. Whether or not she likes it, this unfamiliar world is where she belongs. But after a disturbing twist of events, Hope quickly realizes how weak she is, and how quickly Lucien could overtake her. With the help of some new friends, Hope must find out her own inner powers, and her place in this new world, before the humans she was meant to protect have to pay the ultimate price. Narnia fans, welcome to an exciting new adventure.

Asher Stanton has devoted his entire, long life to protecting the shifter world — but he couldn’t save his own beloved human wife and child. Walling off his emotions and turning his life into a mission to consolidate power, he is ruthless, determined — and most definitely never falling in love with another human again. Years later, a dark threat looms over the shifter world as Asher’s childhood friend, Tomas Nagy, becomes his worst enemy. With the future of the shifter world in question, he must turn to a human scientist, the fiery, headstrong Dr. Samantha Baird, to help him fight the forces of evil. Too bad he can’t fight his attraction to her, an all-consuming urge that strips him of his well-honed restraint. A man accustomed to being in control at all times, Asher finds himself unable to resist. Her. Fate has a funny way of showing up when least expected, and when an old prophecy predicts Asher and Samantha’s union, the family patriarch must accept the fact that he, and he alone, cannot protect her. Samantha may be the shifter world’s greatest gift. And Asher Stanton’s final redemption.

Contends that the theologies of Barth and Schleiermacher are similar, especially in their Christological orientation to the doctrine of Creation.

If "slavery" is defined broadly to include bonded child labor and forced prostitution, there are upward of 25 million slaves in the world today. Individuals and groups are freeing some slaves by buying them from their enslavers. But slave redemption is as controversial today as it was in pre-Civil War America. In Buying Freedom, Kwame Anthony Appiah and Martin Bunzl bring together economists, anthropologists, historians, and philosophers for the first comprehensive examination of the practical and ethical implications of slave redemption. While recognizing the obvious virtue of the desire to buy the freedom of slaves, the contributors ask difficult and troubling questions: Does redeeming slaves actually increase the demand for--and so the number of--slaves? And what about cases where it is far from clear that redemption will improve the material condition, or increase the real freedom, of a slave? Buying Freedom includes essays by the editors and by Dean Karlan and Alan Krueger, Carol Ann Rogers and Kenneth Swinnerton, Arnab Basu and Nancy Chau, Stanley Engerman, Jonathan Conning and Michael Kevane, Jok Madut Jok, Ann McDougall, Lisa Cook, Margaret Kellow, John Stauffer, and Howard McGary.

After Hope's first battle with Lucien and feeling no worse for the wear, she and Castiel are on the next part of their journey with the Immortal Opus.

Only, Lucien is five steps ahead of them and when he attacks, leaving them both for dead on opposite ends of the earth, it will be up to Hope and Castiel to find healing and make their way back to one another. With evil magic at play, and their memories erased, will they remember who they are? Or give themselves over to the darkest evil the world has ever seen? Who's side will you be on?

Fable-Shifters Hope and Castiel are doing all that they can to keep what's left of their race, alive. Only Lucien has torn through the kingdoms turning the humans, and their protectors, against each other. The Omniscients have been silent, while everyone around the Fable-Shifters is dying. It appears as if Lucien has won. When Castiel takes off to Terra Enim to sacrifice his life, and fight Lucien himself, Hope will have to make a decision that may affect the rest of the world as we know it. In the final book of the Immortal Opus series, when all hope is lost—A terrible battle will take place at Terra Enim. With great love comes great sacrifice, and in this heartbreaking conclusion—Only one side will come out victorious.

This publication differs from most existing tax casebooks the following ways: • The book includes complete chapters on business, international, and estate and gift taxation, three areas of substantial importance that are historically left out of the basic tax course. • The book places a strong emphasis on planning and policy, not as an adjunct to the more common legal materials, but as part of an integrated pedagogic approach. Each case or group of cases is followed by three different sets of problems -- Using the Sources, Law and Planning, and Politics and Policy -- which are designed to develop the student's law, planning, and policy analysis skills on a systematic basis. Excerpts from leading law review articles are included in each chapter so that students can understand for themselves the basic issues in tax policy and legislation. • The book emphasizes current concerns in tax law and policy, issues and problems that are likely to confront the next generation of tax practitioners and policy-makers. Thus, substantial space is devoted to the new breed of tax shelters; the tax treatment of gay and unmarried couples; and the relationship of taxes to health, retirement, and environmental policy, without sacrificing the "classic" cases that are the backbone of any tax book. The text consists of twelve chapters, each containing all of the types of problems described above and concluding with an in-depth, take-home problem that may be used either as the basis for in-class discussion or as a graded written assignment. This eBook features links to Lexis Advance for further legal research options.

Redemption and Resistance brings together an eminent cast of contributors to provide a state-of-the-art discussion of Messianism as a topic of political and religious commitment and controversy. By surveying this motif over nearly a thousand years with the help of a focused historical and political searchlight, this volume is sure to break fresh ground. It will serve as an attractive contribution to the history of ancient Judaism and Christianity, of the complex and often problematic relationship between them, and of the conflicting loyalties their hopes for redemption created vis-à-vis a public order that was at first pagan and later Christian. Although each chapter is designed to stand on its own as an introduction to the topic at hand, the overall argument unfolds a coherent history. The first two parts, on pre-Christian Jewish and primitive Christian Messianism, set the stage by identifying two entities that in Part III are then addressed in the development of their explicit relationship in a Graeco-Roman world marked by violent persecution of Jewish and Christian hopes and loyalties. The story is then explored beyond the Constantinian turn and its abortive reversal under Julian, to the Christian Empire up to the rise of Islam.
