Book excerpt: Follow the Footsteps of History and Discover the Path to the Gods For the Love of the Gods tells the epic story of theurgy, from its roots in ancient Egypt to its modern day practice. The lives and passions of the early Pagan philosophers come alive in these pages, immersing you in the bustling cities and diverse cultures that spawned theurgy as we know it today. Theurgy is best understood when it is deeply experienced. The stories presented here re-create the experience of these ancient practices and show how they were passed down through generations of teachers and students of differing ethnicities, genders, and ages. It's commonly believed that ancient Pagan theurgy traditions were erased from the earth and replaced by monotheistic religions—but this is a myth. The way to the gods was never lost. For the Love of the Gods shares step-by-step instructions for theurgic rituals, so that you can create relationships with the gods and love them as the ancients did. Discover how to offer devotionals, create living statues, invoke into yourself and others, and achieve personal communion so that you, too, may dwell in the happy presence of the divine.

Book excerpt: An in-depth look at a God who not only loves, but is love. Love has come to mean many things. It’s used to describe emotions. It’s the glue for relationships. It frames countless stories. And the greatest of these stories opens before time began and echoes throughout eternity. It’s the story of God’s unrelenting, overwhelming love for His people. Yet the truth of love is even more majestic, more staggering, and more extraordinary than we can understand: God doesn’t just love us. He is love. Renowned theologian and teacher Dr. R.C. Sproul takes a remarkable look at this most profound truth. God’s Love delves deep into Scripture to explore this dynamic attribute of God, which finds its ultimate expression in His Son. Dr. Sproul also examines seeming paradoxes of God, such as a loving God and divine hate, and how love coexists with His sovereignty. Practical, insightful, and revolutionary, God’s Love compels and calls us to reflect His nature of unconditional love.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Love of Daphnis and Chloe (2nd century C.E.) is an ancient Greek romance novel by Longus. Set on Lesbos, it is a classic story of love set in a recognizably pastoral setting. An important early novel and a landmark in the development of Western literature, The Love of Daphnis and Chloe has inspired and influenced such wide-ranging artists as Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Allan Ramsay, Marc Chagall, Colette, and Yukio Mishima. Abandoned at birth, Daphnis is raised by a goatherd named Lamon on the island of Lesbos. Chloe, likewise abandoned, is raised by Dryas, a nearby shepherd. Living and working in the fields of their native land, the two become fast friends, frequently spending time together while herding their respective flocks. As they fall in love, with no model for romantic affection, Daphnis and Chloe struggle to understand their mutual feeling. Seeking the guidance of a wise cowherd, they are advised to share a kiss with one another, for only a kiss will cure their growing sickness. All too trusting, they follow the cowherd’s instruction, only to be plunged into deeper desire. Still unsure of how to show his affection, Daphnis journeys to the city, where an older woman educates him in the ways of love. Meanwhile, Chloe is kidnapped and taken to a faraway kingdom. Fearing the worst, Daphnis embarks on a journey to save her, facing pirates, pitfalls, and countless other dangers on his way. The Love of Daphnis and Chloe is not only a groundbreaking work of prose fiction, but a widely adapted model of classical romance that continues to be read and appreciated nearly two millennia after its publication. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Longus’s The Love of Daphnis and Chloe is a classic of ancient Greek literature reimagined for modern readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Her father, the Great Pharaoh of Egypt, promised the renowned king of Israel anything he desired. She never could have imagined his desire would include her. Princess Siti is happy to let her older sister marry the crown prince out of duty to Egypt. She longs to marry for love--to a great man like those in the romantic poems she adores. But her mother wants her to wed her temperamental cousin, and only her father can overturn the arrangement. When news comes of Egypt's triumph over a distant Canaanite city, rumors spread that Israel's great King Solomon himself may travel to Egypt in order to make an alliance. Siti yearns to meet this fabled king, who is as handsome as he is wise, but she never dreamed she might be offered to him as a bride. Can she truly leave her beloved Egypt--and love the man who is tearing her away from all she's ever known?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Enter the living world of Greek myth. Join Jason, Acastus, Hercules and the rest of the crew of Argo on their epic quest for the Golden Fleece. It is a world of gods and monsters, a world where prophecies and curses come true, a world haunted by demons and populated by epic heroes. And it is a world where male love was accepted, celebrated and even revered. Jason’s native city Iolcus is under a curse. The king is tormented, people are abandoning the haunted city and it is slowly dying. The only hope appears to be retrieving the Golden Fleece, which was lost to Iolcus generations earlier. Jason and his cousin Acastus take on the daunting task of assembling a company of athlete/heroes to recover the Fleece from Colchis, the legendary land at the end of the world. Along the way they find adventure, danger—and love. The Loves of the Argonauts, based on the original Greek myths in their various versions, vividly recreates that world and the Argo’s storied journey on a truly epic scale.
