Books with author Michael Lye

*A New York Times Notable Book*An epic adventure ranging from the terror of the Vikings to the golden age of cities: Michael Pye tells the amazing story of how modernity emerged on the shores of the North Sea. Saints and spies, pirates and philosophers, artists and intellectuals: they all criss-crossed the grey North Sea in the so-called "dark ages," the years between the fall of the Roman Empire and the beginning of Europe's mastery over the oceans. Now the critically acclaimed Michael Pye reveals the cultural transformation sparked by those men and women: the ideas, technology, science, law, and moral codes that helped create our modern world. This is the magnificent lost history of a thousand years. It was on the shores of the North Sea where experimental science was born, where women first had the right to choose whom they married; there was the beginning of contemporary business transactions and the advent of the printed book. In The Edge of the World, Michael Pye draws on an astounding breadth of original source material to illuminate this fascinating region during a pivotal era in world history. 16 pages of B&W photographs

In The Shinar Directive, we journeyed down the Luciferian rabbit hole to discover the matrix of darkness that has engulfed our planet. It would seem that esoteric societies have nearly fulfilled Nimrods dark directive. However, the Almighty will not allow the enemy to bring his A team for the final showdown without responding with His own. God is raising up people around the world that are shaking off their techno-sorcery induced, spiritual slumber and are answering Heavens call. There is an end-time empowerment coming for Gods Remnant His Sheeriyth. Hell may have its directive, but Heaven has its imperative! The Sheeriyth Imperative is a tactical manual for Gods Remnant in the Last Days. In this vital book, you will discover a deeper look into the fallen immortals that now labor for the Kingdom of Darkness, how the unification of Superstring Theory and the Bible can play an essential role in our understanding of end-time spiritual warfare, the reality of multi-dimensional seed, what really happened when Lucifer fell and the force he created to fuel his kingdom. Learn that the Watcher invasion of Genesis 6 involved much more than just a breeding program, how Nimrod aligned himself with immortals in the Second Heaven to empower his hellish plans and how Mystery Babylon is doing the same in our day! The reader will gain a better understanding of what Lucifer was really seeking to gain in the fall of humanity, how the Nazi/Vril agenda is still being carried out by the clueless masses around the world today, how our modernized theologies have rendered the modern Christian weaponless and naked on the end-time spiritual battlefield, and how Heaven is empowering the Remnant to destroy every stronghold and to become a force that can raze hell and bring the King
