How do we find God? What does it mean to be a saint? These are the issues faced by Brother John Chrysostom, Master of Novices at the abbey of St. Zacchaeus. His own spiritual path starkly contrasts with that of the new novice entrusted to his charge, whose transports of ecstasy cause Brother John to question the validity of his own efforts to grow in faith.

Heaven On Earth by LGLministry101
22 parts Complete
It seems like just yesterday I was saved. Not knowing what to do next or where I should go. Little by little I had to find my way and put together the lessons I was taught from different sources to seemingly lead a holy life. My supreme happiness came from when I found Jesus. Little did I know all I had to do was dwell in his heart and he would provide me with the wisdom I need and show me the things I could only fantasize about. Things like these seemed to me too precious to keep hidden, and that's when I knew I just had to share Who He is to the whole world. Visions, testimonies, miracles and more came knocking at my door leading me into a dose of Heaven on Earth. Blue Roses for My Bride series: Book 1 NOTE I am not a writer, but I do enjoy writing. I learn as I go where writing a book is concerned. So the book has a lot of flaws, typos and words may not be in the correct order. It may be a finished book but there is still lots of work to do on it. It is a draft of my process in writing the book, so please keep in mind that things will be constantly added, taken out or changed until it becomes how the Lord wants it to be. So when you do read it, please let the Lord guide you on discernment and help you to get on the right part with him. Please keep in mind that I am not perfect and I just wanna share the love and goodness of God. THINGS TO KNOW Feel free to check out my mom's website for more info about God and Heaven at: www.heartdwellers.org There are videos, pdfs, books and more.

The Greylands: Modern Edition by SusanSkylark
1 part Complete
A land of shadows, of mystery, of obfuscated Truth. Welcome to the Greylands, that strange world, within the bounds of Time, peopled by mortal men. We cannot see truly, only as through a glass, darkly. There are things that move and have their being completely beyond our ability to perceive them. There are things beyond our mortal ability to comprehend. There are hints and glimmers hidden within the body of revealed Truth, but there is much we do not know, cannot yet understand, and could never dare dream. These stories are mere fancy, with a seed of Truth at their core. They play with the ideas of mortality and Eternity, Time and things beyond it, and of course the epic battle of Good against Evil. Each stands alone, and though there are common themes, threads, names, and concepts, each story is an entity unto itself and should not be seen as occurring in the same world or mistaken for installments of a series. These are random musings, not Gospel Truth, and should not be taken as such. Joy, hope, and encouragement are hopefully a byproduct, but certainly not sound Theology. If you would know more of the true world beyond these Greylands, one must be a careful student of the Scriptures, not of silly stories such as these. While still fairytales, these stories are set in modern surroundings rather than the land of Faerie! Each story is unique unto itself, and doesn't reference any other story, world or character elsewhere.
Every Hero Deserves a Blowjob [A Paranormal Romance] by aaronfhuston
24 parts Complete Mature
What happens when gods and goddesses fall in love? What happens when the hero isn't you? Everything seemed to have hit rock-bottom for Karma. A college educated former Marine and now a convicted felon, it would be easy to say divorce was hard. With a daughter on the way from a spur of the moment relationship, he was ready to accept whatever dead-end path life was heading. Lucky-or unlucky-for him, the gods found a suitable purpose for someone of his...caliber. Seduced by a succubus and dragged through the thin veil that separates dimensions, he found himself face-to-face with a woman chasing an invisible butterfly. Unaware of his circumstances and on the verge of being granted magic, he decided to help Ehma. There's no way he could know of the spell affecting the hotel's resident ghost or the plot that brought them stumbling into each other in another world. Ehma wasn't looking to be saved. In life, and in death, she took matters into her own hands. With a lifetime of manipulation and betrayal behind her, she just wanted to move on. This is no harem and definitely not a place for heroics. The women are powerful, the magic deadly, and the relationships...complicated. Jaded and disillusioned, Karma begins a journey to prove whether he's the man he thinks he is and whether he deserves the chance at redemption only true love can bring.

We all know the basic isekai story, yeah? Die in this world, and then reborn to a fantasy one, yadda-yadda-yadda. However, in this scenario, we get to learn this fantasy world's inner workings alongside our precious main character, his journey, his struggles, and finally, a situation that will come up. The question is... What kinds of struggles shall he endure? Will it be simple for him to deal with? Or will it be hard? Just know that... Life, even if it gives you enough powers to be considered a god, it will still find a way to bite you from behind, caught unawares. "Death is unavoidable But so is life And everything you knew Can be taken away all at once But what happens when Two lives merge as one It wouldn't be the same, yes? And it can still shatter one's perspective in life? Have we really learned of everything we could learn? Know what one is thinking? Can we truly know their struggles and problems With just one look at their face? We sometimes say That someone has their own world In a way, that is true But what if that is the literal truth? Ground shaking, is it not?" TWO SEPARATE LIVES: A NOVEL FOR ANOTHER WORLD (BOOK ONE OF THE ASHEN SERIES)

He emerged from the shadows with a secret that held the power to destroy me. I didn't see it coming. But, I knew why he came. I uttered the wrong name at the wrong place several years ago when I was just a child. It wasn't a mistake no matter how many times I told myself. I wanted it to happen. I wanted him to come. I just didn't realize he was real. What do you do when death, in all literal terms, comes whispering in your ears? You can't run even if you want to. How can you? No one can outrun him. No one can escape him. He's death. He's immortal. He's the Devil. And he wants me. -----• This story contains dark, paranormal romance, sexual content, abuse, and violence.
