Guerra Contra o Ocultismo, Feitiçaria e Falsa Religião
by Doriane Gaia Gabriel AgboEste livro é uma obra sobre o que chamo de trindade do mal - ocultismo, feitiçaria e religião falsa. Estas são os organismos através do qual Satanás realiza seus planos perversos contra o avanço do Reino de Deus e da humanidade. Estes três ramos do reino das trevas trabalham em harmonia para atingir os objetivos acima referidos. Satã é o criador e cabeça de cada um deles. E você vai sempre encontrar o outro quando qualquer um deles estiver em operação. É por isso que eu os chamo de uma trindade. Por exemplo, no ocultismo, você também encontrará a feitiçaria e religião falsa. Os falsos profetas e as bruxas geralmente pertencem às sociedades e cultos secretos. Eles limitam-se a ramificar-se de acordo com os seus objetivos e ações imediatas. Eles são diferentes ramos de uma mesma árvore. Mas como podemos verificar esta ameaça espiritual que ao longo dos tempos tem causado tanta confusão para o homem e sua tensa relação com o seu Criador? Isto é o que nós tentamos mostrar aqui. Todo cristão deve se levantar, vestir toda a armadura do reino dos céus e lutar contra esses ataques satânicos. E nós temos que fazer isso agora; com urgência e de forma decisiva.

Guess Who
by Chris McGeorgeThe rules are simple.But the game is not.At eleven years old, Morgan Sheppard solved the murder of a teacher when everyone else believed it to be a suicide. The publicity surrounding the case laid the foundation for his reputation as a modern-day Sherlock Holmes. He parlayed that fame into a gig as TV’s “resident detective,” solving the more typical tawdry daytime talk show mysteries like “Who is the father?” and “Is he cheating?”Until, that is, Sheppard wakes up handcuffed to a bed in an unfamiliar hotel room. Around him, five strangers are slowly waking up, as well. Soon they discover a corpse in the bathtub and Sheppard is challenged to put his deductive skills to the test. One of the people in the room is the killer. He has three hours to solve the murder. If he doesn’t find the killer, they all will die.An ingenious, page-turning debut, Chris McGeorge’s Guess Who matches the high-wire plotting of classic “locked room” mysteries into the unstoppable pacing of the modern-day thriller.
