![]() ![]() But when she catches wind that he was murdered not long after entering the palace, Rangestu discards everything–her wants, her life, even her gender–all for the purpose of entering the palace to kill those responsible for her brother’s death. ![]() Rangetsu struggles with life after his departure, but endures for the sake of the brother she loves in the hopes one day they’ll be reunited. Immediately, he’s carted away to become the fourth prince’s beast-servant. When the humans came to administer the test for supernatural abilities, neither of them expected Sogetsu to show signs of powerful magic. Rangetsu and Sogetsu are twin Ajin who only had each other to rely on. This is the only life they can expect to live. Ajin may not have more than one child, with the exception of twins. The females on the other hand are made into prostitutes at a young age, and assuming they survive through that, the most they can hope for is a menial existence. Despite physically being superior to humans, the Ajin live destitute lives–males are forced into the king’s army, though any in possession of strong magical abilities are sent to the imperial palace as bodyguards and playthings. In this world, there are the Ajin, a beast-like race with supernatural abilities, and the humans that rule over them. The King’s Beast Volume 1 Review (Spoiler‑Free) ![]()

I liked the fact that this book got me thinking. I couldn’t live in the bubble forever it was only there to prepare me to reach out. ![]() It also made me face the fact that outside my nice home bubble, there was a hurting world. This book caused me to figure out what I believed about my faith apart from parents, pastors, or anyone else. The last third of the book though forced me to ask myself the question: “What do I believe?” I was captured at once by the plight of the mountain people, and cheered as Christy worked so hard to make their life better. When I first read Catherine Marshall’s Christy, I was fifteen, the youngest age my mom would let us read it at. There are very few books that are life changing. But her faith will be severely challenged by trial and tragedy, by the needs and unique strengths of two remarkable young men, and by a heart torn between true love and unwavering devotion. In the year 1912, nineteen-year-old Christy Huddleston leaves home to teach school in the Smoky Mountains - and comes to know and love the resilient people of the region, with their fierce pride, their dark superstitions, their terrible poverty, and their yearning for beauty and truth. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() On the 22 April 1724, Kant was born in Königsberg to devout Pietistic parents who named him Emmanuel, 2 “God is with him”. 1 But his intellectual career began with theology. Immanuel Kant (1724–1804) is commonly regarded as one of the greatest philosophers of all time. I propose that Kant’s rejection and subsequent reinterpretation of Genesis 1–3 was the sine qua non of his contribution to the Enlightenment. In fact, it was the interaction between his theology and his science that provided the necessary foundation for his critical philosophy. Although Kant is largely remembered today for his philosophy, he began his career as a theologian and a scientist. Given Immanuel Kant’s seminal role at the outset of the Enlightenment, it is important to notice how and when he interacted with Genesis 1–3. ![]() ![]() ![]() The language is direct, highly wrought, and poetic. Colonna's Plaint is a highly personal meditation (“I see the sweet mother,” “For me,” “I believe”), and is her response to the Pietà, an inner vision she has of the Virgin Mary seated below the cross, with the dead Christ lying in her arms, a scene either imagined or an image actually before her. (The edition used for the present translation is the Aldine edition of 1557.) In the Oration, Colonna uses the Hail Mary for a line-by-line discussion of her own relationship with the Virgin Mary, stressing the Virgin's integral role with that of her son in the Redemption, and her role as mediatrix. The Plaint was published first in Venice in 1556, together with a further prose meditation by Colonna on the Virgin Mary, the Oration on the Ave Maria. The precise circumstances in which the work was written are unknown, but it has been suggested that Colonna may have been inspired by the drawing of the Pietà, given to her by Michelangelo, around the same date. The Fra' was Colonna's friend and spiritual mentor until, accused of heresy, he fled to Geneva in 1542. ![]() A meditation on Christ's Passion, Vittoria Colonna's Plaint or prose lament was composed between 15, and probably originally as a letter to Ochino since there are first-person addresses in the manuscript copy. ![]() ![]() ![]() Soon, though, her loneliness and restless imagination are seized by the vacant house on the hill. She even gives up her dream of flying an airplane, trying instead to fit in at the stuffy Ladies Aid quilting circle. Dolly tries to adapt to her new life by keeping the house, supporting her husband's career, and fretting about dinner menus. ![]() When Dolly Magnuson moves to Pine Rapids, Wisconsin, in 1950, she discovers all too soon that making marriage work is harder than it looks in the pages of the Ladies' Home Journal. ![]() Like Whitney Otto's How to Make an American Quilt in its intimate portrayal of women's lives, and reminiscent of novels by Elizabeth Berg and Anne Tyler, Keeping the House is a rich tapestry of a novel that introduces a wonderful new fiction writer. Set in the conformist 1950s and reaching back to span two world wars, Ellen Baker's superb novel is the story of a newlywed who falls in love with a grand abandoned house and begins to unravel dark secrets woven through the generations of a family. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Some dominance and discipline, sexy toys and tons of steamy heat.
