Religion Stories

Raised to be holy. Born into something far more dangerous. Seventeen year old, Evienne Ellery spent her life preparing for heaven. Sent away to a secluded boarding school in the Swiss Alps by distant, unfeeling adoptive parents, she was raised by nuns and priests to be obedient, submissive and small. Behind stone chapels and cold classrooms, Evienne learned early that love was conditional, punishment was holy, and suffering was something to be endured quietly Her future was simple: be good, be faithful, and one day do her duty-marry a man who would secure her family's interests. Her life was planned. Controlled. Perfect. Until it wasn't. When everything she knows collapses, Evienne is torn from the only world she has ever known and sent to live with her biological family-six brothers who are loud, vulgar, violent, and unapologetically criminal. They don't pray. They don't obey. And they certainly don't believe in God the way she was taught. They believe in blood. With them, she learns the truth of who she really is: The lost princess of one of the most powerful mafia families in the world. Her brothers have been searching for her for years, and now that they've found her, they refuse to lose her again. In their world of power, crime, and betrayals, Evienne learns that love doesn't always look gentle-and protection often comes with a body count. But as old family feuds resurface, enemies close in, and the past she was hidden from begins to reach for her, Evienne is forced to confront an impossible question: What happens when the people you love will never be welcome in heaven-and you're no longer sure you want to go without them?

He was born into power. Veer Pratap was born to survive. When Ishaan Dev Varma returns from abroad, polished and untouchable, he never expects to fall for a man the world refuses to see.

Years later, Veer returns-not as the man who left, but as someone far more powerful... and far more ruthless. This time, he won't be the one on his knees. And Ishaan will learn- love, once betrayed, does not come back gently.

BOOK TWO OF SIKANDAR SERIES! He rules a world built on silence, loyalty, and blood. Illegal empires answer to his name, fear clears his path, and violence is simply how order is maintained. He chose this life long before anyone asked him to be human- and he has lived without regret ever since. Until her. She is the one thing his world never accounted for. The one weakness he did not prepare for. Promised to his younger brother. What begins as control slowly unravels into longing. Every restraint costs him something. Every distance hurts more than it should. He doesn't know when wanting her became a quiet, constant ache- only that her absence feels louder than gunfire. Does he still love her, knowing she will never be his? Did she ever love him back, or was he alone in his downfall? And what kind of man chooses darkness before love ever gives him a reason to stay in the light? In a world where loyalty is lethal and secrets are safer than truth, love does not arrive to save anyone- it arrives to test what they are willing to destroy. This is a dark romance of forbidden desire, restrained emotion, and a love that survives where it should never exist.

This is one heck of a Victorian-style fantasy novel. Add a spoonful of steam engines to make that darned technology tree come alive! Add a spoonful of love and hatred, so everyone has good reasons to brawl! Add a spoonful of madness to lighten up this gloomy world, and finally, add a spoonful of natural disasters to play the main boss... and so on! Phew, that's a lot! ... Year 931 in the Engerwick Calendar. The city I reside in has been hailed as the most advanced in the West. The main reasons? The world-shaking steam technology, emerging technologies, and the wellspring of chaos. Can't deny it, but the fact remains that people keep flocking here to live. This city always gives you a glimmer of hope, whether it's lies or illusions, but it's so close, within arm's reach, making you risk life and limb. A city of hallucinations. I am one of those dream-chasers.

In a small, deeply religious province, faith is everything. Your family. Your reputation. Your future. Everything belongs to the community. Everything belongs to God. Santa has spent his entire life being called a miracle. Saved from a deadly illness as a child, he was raised to believe God spared him for a reason. Since childhood, everyone has expected him to devote his life to the temple. He doesn't question it. Not until he meets Perth. Perth has spent his entire life being judged. The son of a disgraced family. Years ago his father abandoned the town after a scandal. Nobody lets them forget it. Perth grows up learning that some people are born loved. Others have to earn it. He works harder. Studies harder. Smiles harder. But he's always an outsider. They should never have crossed paths. But then Santa smiles at him one day. A small moment. A simple kindness. And suddenly, the future they've always known no longer feels certain. As their bond deepens, Perth and Santa must choose between the life they were taught to want and the feelings they can no longer ignore. In a community where faith is law and every choice is watched, some questions are dangerous to ask. And some forms of love may cost everything.

I do not claim to know everything about God. In fact, the older I get, the less certain I become about many things. What I do know is that the questions never stopped. Questions about faith. Questions about suffering. Questions about love. Questions about what kind of God could create a world as beautiful and broken as this one. In Seeking God, Sheldon Stodder shares personal reflections on spirituality, religion, doubt, forgiveness, fatherhood, and the lifelong search for meaning. Written with honesty and humility, these essays are not an attempt to tell readers what to believe. They are an invitation to think, question, and explore. For anyone who has ever wrestled with faith, wondered about God, or searched for truth beyond certainty, this book is an open conversation about the questions that matter most.

Being alive is not easy. Being a human, much less. The world is confusing, our lives are a mess, and we need some form of guidance. By putting revelations into words, I hope to unpack the mysteries of life and our place in it. Join me on this intrepid adventure to arrive at the "truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth". *updates will occur over time; expect regular updates until finished

Book Description In the kingdom of DANnud, love is not a feeling-it is a crime. Every aspect of life is controlled by divine law: clothing, work, prayer, marriage... and even emotion itself. Obedience is salvation. Desire is sin. And those who deviate from the rules simply disappear. Adrian has spent his entire life trying to be faithful to a system that condemns even the thoughts he cannot control. But when he meets Sam-a mysterious outcast known only as the Demon-everything he believes begins to fracture. In hidden corners of the kingdom, beneath whispered fears and forbidden glances, Adrian discovers a truth more dangerous than sin itself: the possibility that the laws of DANnud were never meant to protect them... but to erase who they truly are. Torn between devotion and desire, faith and freedom, Adrian is forced to confront a presence that seems to exist beyond religion, beyond law, and perhaps beyond humanity itself. And in the darkness, something ancient begins to awaken-something that knows his heart better than he does. In a world where love is forbidden, even the truth can become a demon.
