H. H. Holmes, a charismatic young doctor, built a block-long building near the fairgrounds outfitted with hidden rooms, a gas chamber, and a basement crematorium. Using the anonymity of the fair's crowds — young women drawn to the city for work, tourists passing through — Holmes lured victims into his \"World's Fair Hotel\" and killed an unknown number of them, a case that later shaped how Americans understood the idea of a serial killer.\n\nLarson tells both stories side by side, drawing on letters, court records, and contemporary newspapers to reconstruct the fair's engineering triumphs — the first Ferris wheel, the electric-lit \"White City\" itself — against the quiet horror unfolding a few streets away. It's history written with the momentum of a thriller, without inventing dialogue or events the record doesn't support.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz4bjx00dcw0rhx8he9snv7.jpg","L7BpOc~WMy9Z$~j?j[WC004.WB-:","4.60",5,464,[173],{"id":174,"slug":175,"name":176},"01kjr3bm2ecv24y30jptevz83v","erik-larson-nnxy","Erik Larson",[178,182,186,187,191,195],{"id":179,"name":180,"slug":181,"is_fiction":18},88,"Biography","biography",{"id":183,"name":184,"slug":185,"is_fiction":19},8,"Historical Fiction","historical-fiction",{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":188,"name":189,"slug":190,"is_fiction":18},69,"Biography & Memoir","biography-memoir",{"id":192,"name":193,"slug":194,"is_fiction":18},104,"True Crime","true-crime",{"id":44,"name":45,"slug":46,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":198,"complexity":7,"audience":72,"mood":199,"themes":202,"setting_period":7,"summary":203,"content_warnings":7},"fast",[200,201],"dark","tense",[],"Two parallel stories unfold in 1893 Chicago: Daniel Burnham, the visionary architect behind the World's Columbian Exposition, races to build a world-class fair while battling fire, funding shortages, and engineering failures; and H.H.

In his seminal new book, The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory, journalist Tim Alberta, himself a practicing Christian and the son of an evangelical pastor, paints an expansive and profoundly troubling portrait of the American evangelical movement. Through the eyes of televangelists and small-town preachers, celebrity revivalists and everyday churchgoers, Alberta tells the story of a faith cheapened by ephemeral fear, a promise corrupted by partisan subterfuge, and a reputation stained by perpetual scandal. For millions of conservative Christians, America is their kingdom—a land set apart, a nation uniquely blessed, a people in special covenant with God. This love of country, however, has given way to right-wing nationalist fervor, a reckless blood-and-soil idolatry that trivializes the kingdom of Jesus Christ. Alberta retraces the arc of the modern evangelical movement, placing political and cultural inflection points in the context of church teachings and traditions, explaining how Donald Trump's presidency and the COVID-19 pandemic only accelerated historical trends that long pointed toward disaster. Reporting from half-empty sanctuaries and standing-room-only convention halls across the country, the author documents a growing fracture inside American Christianity and journeys with readers through this strange new environment in which loving your enemies is \"woke\" and owning the libs is the answer to WWJD. Accessing the highest echelons of the American evangelical movement, Alberta investigates the ways in which conservative Christians have pursued, exercised, and often abused power in the name of securing this earthly kingdom. He highlights the battles evangelicals are fighting—and the weapons of their warfare—to demonstrate the disconnect from scripture: Contra the dictates of the New Testament, today's believers are struggling mightily against flesh and blood, eyes fixed on the here and now, desperate for a power that is frivolous and fleeting. Lingering at the intersection of real cultural displacement and perceived religious persecution, Alberta portrays a rapidly secularizing America that has come to distrust the evangelical church, and weaves together present-day narratives of individual pastors and their churches as they confront the twin challenges of lost status and diminished standing. Sifting through the wreckage—pastors broken, congregations battered, believers losing their religion because of sex scandals and political schemes—Alberta asks: If the American evangelical movement has ceased to glorify God, what is its purpose?","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx7ch1c658fpkffyh9x6kyf7.jpg?v=1c9967c765","L0A0q00000oz00~q00a#00RO4;of",2023,"4.00",1,503,[245],{"id":246,"slug":247,"name":248},"01kvqyd1ebac4gkrdj7nf1jhby","tim-alberta-wwqn","Tim Alberta",[250,251,255,256],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":18},{"id":252,"name":253,"slug":254,"is_fiction":18},102,"Politics","politics",{"id":225,"name":226,"slug":227,"is_fiction":18},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":158,"complexity":7,"audience":72,"mood":259,"themes":260,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[75,201],[],{"id":262,"slug":263,"title":264,"description":265,"primary_cover_url":266,"cover_blurhash":267,"first_publish_year":268,"community_rating_avg":241,"community_rating_count":242,"page_count":269,"authors":270,"genres":275,"series":279,"enrichment":280},"01kx2kvtaejqr3p502ax1jh18s","the-lost-gospel-emn5","The lost gospel","\"This is the first full account of the lost gospel of Jesus' original followers, revealing him to be a Jewish Socrates who was mythologized into the New Testament Christ.

Once lost, it has been reconstructed through a century of scholarship. In presenting his own translation, Burton Mack explains how the text of Q was determined and explores the implications of the discovery that Jesus was transformed into the dying and rising messianic savior of Christianity by the New Testament gospels.\" \"Instead of telling a dramatic story about Jesus' life as the Christian gospels do, the Book of Q contained only his sayings. The first followers of Jesus focused not upon his life and destiny, but on the social experiment called for by his teachings. Their book collected his proverbs, aphorisms, and parables to offer instruction in living authentically in the midst of a most confusing time.\" \"In The Lost Gospel, Burton Mack puts forth the first popular translation of Q as scholarly consensus has reconstructed it; shows that Jesus' life story as presented in the New Testament gospels was fictionalized for theological purposes; reveals Jesus to be a countercultural teacher and leader - subsequently mythologized into the Christ of the New Testament; depicts Jesus' followers not as Christians, but as disciples of a wise, antiestablishment teacher; they did not believe him to be the son of God, believe that he rose from the dead, or gather to worship in his name and concludes that Christianity is a mythologized religion (like Buddhism and other religions) rooted in a historical figure and teachings that in reality are quite remote from conventional beliefs.\"--Jacket.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx2kvtc4rvmkepgyx0e012m9.jpg?v=e8bca37700","LKI2[%~8R7I=tP-TxDafEgnjNday",1993,275,[271],{"id":272,"slug":273,"name":274},"01kx2kvtav2fh4xjp3f7kx2pf6","burton-l-mack-ndbt","Burton L.

Kafka Tamura, a fiercely self-reliant fifteen-year-old, runs away from his father's house in Tokyo to escape a grim prophecy and to search for the mother and sister who abandoned him years ago. His flight carries him to a quiet private library in the seaside city of Takamatsu, where he takes shelter among the stacks and the people who tend them.\n\nElsewhere, Satoru Nakata, an aging man who lost his memory and his ability to read after a strange childhood incident, moves through the same world on a quieter frequency. Nakata cannot manage much of ordinary life, but he can talk to cats, and a simple errand to find a lost pet pulls him onto a road he does not fully understand.\n\nAs their paths run in parallel, Murakami threads together talking animals, spirits that slip loose from the living, fish that fall from the sky, and a song that seems to hold memory itself. It is a novel about fate and free will, about grief and desire, and about the strange interior places we travel through to become ourselves. Dreamlike and exact at once, it rewards readers willing to sit inside mystery rather than demand that every thread be tied.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz5qvvrrkfghx8x34z0h319.jpg","LB9rw%B71b|xxuj[o2SL3V;%[X6z",2006,4,[403],{"id":404,"slug":405,"name":406},"01kjq7vve6v87xc574qr4c7a4y","untitled-pcch","村上春樹",[408,409,413,417,421,425],{"id":28,"name":29,"slug":30,"is_fiction":19},{"id":410,"name":411,"slug":412,"is_fiction":19},9,"Literary Fiction","literary-fiction",{"id":414,"name":415,"slug":416,"is_fiction":19},22,"Magical Realism","magical-realism",{"id":418,"name":419,"slug":420,"is_fiction":19},6,"Mystery","mystery",{"id":422,"name":423,"slug":424,"is_fiction":19},2,"Fantasy","fantasy",{"id":426,"name":427,"slug":428,"is_fiction":19},59,"Contemporary Literature","contemporary-literature",[430],{"id":431,"slug":432,"name":433,"position":434,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kqnc3abb2pq8da3xnx6vas8z","null-ecm2",",null,","0.00",{"pace":158,"complexity":7,"audience":72,"mood":436,"themes":438,"setting_period":7,"summary":440,"content_warnings":7},[437,386,74],"dreamy",[77,439],"portal-fantasy","Two seemingly unrelated stories converge in a small Japanese town: fifteen-year-old Kafka Tamura, fleeing his father and an Oedipal prophecy, and Satoru Nakata, an elderly man with the uncanny ability to talk to cats.

Ziporyn offers an alternative to the overly comforting tone of so many translations, revealing instead the electrifying strangeness and explosively unsettling philosophical implications of this famously ambiguous work. In Ziporyn’s hands, this is no mere “wisdom book” of anodyne affirmations or mildly diverting brain-teasers—this pathbreaking Daodejing will forever change how the text is read and understood in the West.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx6n125fg7zn8jnmwp5zayw4.jpg?v=4b11a694a5","LDP=A,wh-qxZ4TR6D*e.?]j?xtof","5.00",[754],{"id":755,"slug":756,"name":757},"01kjqtv9tp3vqtddtdr45g8ww6","untitled-vz50","老子",[759,760],{"id":325,"name":326,"slug":327,"is_fiction":18},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":69,"complexity":7,"audience":72,"mood":763,"themes":765,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[764,74],"philosophical",[],{"id":767,"slug":768,"title":769,"description":7,"primary_cover_url":770,"cover_blurhash":771,"first_publish_year":772,"community_rating_avg":7,"community_rating_count":14,"page_count":773,"authors":774,"genres":779,"series":787,"enrichment":788},"01kmdrfdmcq2c4pjyweyb81kkp","morals-and-dogma-of-the-ancient-and-accepted-scottish-rite-of-freemasonry-mndn","Morals and Dogma of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kmdrfdpdke11efmr68ewwbq0.jpg","LH9F}|}p}S}pt7jsaej[jGR,xYR+",1950,882,[775],{"id":776,"slug":777,"name":778},"01kmdrfdp8r1g8e872wxb2yksy","albert-pike-jde1","Albert Pike",[780,781,782,786],{"id":325,"name":326,"slug":327,"is_fiction":18},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":18},{"id":783,"name":784,"slug":785,"is_fiction":18},97,"Spirituality","spirituality",{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":69,"complexity":7,"audience":72,"mood":789,"themes":790,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[74,231],[],{"key":792,"params":793,"works":794},"genre",{"genre":37},[795,806,835,856,881,893],{"id":262,"slug":263,"title":264,"description":265,"primary_cover_url":266,"cover_blurhash":267,"first_publish_year":268,"community_rating_avg":241,"community_rating_count":242,"page_count":269,"authors":796,"genres":798,"series":802,"enrichment":803},[797],{"id":272,"slug":273,"name":274},[799,800,801],{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":18},{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":225,"name":226,"slug":227,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":69,"complexity":7,"audience":72,"mood":804,"themes":805,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[231,75],[],{"id":807,"slug":808,"title":809,"description":810,"primary_cover_url":811,"cover_blurhash":812,"first_publish_year":813,"community_rating_avg":241,"community_rating_count":242,"page_count":814,"authors":815,"genres":828,"series":831,"enrichment":832},"01kx29jd1b0y6fb2nn660ef0rd","a-source-book-in-indian-philosophy-bxmh","A source book in Indian philosophy","Features significant works from the Vedic and Epic periods, the Heterodox and Orthodox systems, and contemporary Indian thought.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kx29jd1b0y6fb2nn660ef0rd.jpg?v=60a12bdf9a","LCKxrBVr0m%1xctSNIkC16o$}8X9",1957,684,[816,820,824],{"id":817,"slug":818,"name":819},"01kx29jd1yzb63d726cmpzbm75","sarvepalli-radhakrishnan-eaw6","Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan",{"id":821,"slug":822,"name":823},"01kx29jd2hh3sy27z0whagk6h1","charles-a-moore-0ott","Charles A.

In The Modernity of Witchcraft, Peter Geschieres uses his own experiences among the Maka and in other parts of eastern and southern Cameroon, as well as other anthropological research, to argue that contemporary ideas and practices of witchcraft are more a response to modern exigencies than a lingering cultural custom. The prevalence of witchcraft, especially in African politics and entrepreneurship, demonstrates the unlikely balance it has achieved with the forces of modernity. Geshiere explores why modern techniques and commodities, usually of Western Provenance, have become central in rumors of the occult.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kx26p9xjf4zd9788rgc84ngz.jpg?v=368ad55854","L5CPV9?^8wKi0Nt7ozjZ00D%?bV@",1997,311,[845],{"id":846,"slug":847,"name":848},"01kx26p9xdtr875q86dc85wq6r","peter-geschiere-dwaw","Peter Geschiere",[850,851],{"id":32,"name":33,"slug":34,"is_fiction":18},{"id":36,"name":37,"slug":38,"is_fiction":18},[],{"pace":69,"complexity":7,"audience":72,"mood":854,"themes":855,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[231,200],[],{"id":857,"slug":858,"title":859,"description":860,"primary_cover_url":861,"cover_blurhash":862,"first_publish_year":863,"community_rating_avg":241,"community_rating_count":242,"page_count":864,"authors":865,"genres":870,"series":877,"enrichment":878},"01kx2jas81bthe3f2t76pkcfkg","one-day-my-soul-just-opened-up-kptz","One day my soul just opened up","One Day My Soul Just Opened Up is a program of inspiration and motivation that will help you work through problems and improve your emotional and spiritual health.
