Back just in time? With Kurumi’s help, Shido has successfully jumped five years into the past in a desperate bid to save the city and everyone he cares about. His mission? Prevent Oragami Tobiichi’s family tragedy from ever happening and end her quest for vengeance against Spirits before it has a chance to begin. This won’t be easy, because not only will Shido need to carefully avoid changing the wrong events, but he’ll also have to move fast to be in the right place at the right time when Phantom arrives!

Fate is a tricky thing... Five years ago, a Spirit killed Origami Tobiichi’s parents. Holding a grudge that has only grown since then, Origami turns to DEM in hopes of becoming powerful enough to enact her revenge by killing every last Spirit. Shido can see that this is guaranteed to lead her down a path of death and destruction, so he’s ready to do whatever it takes to stop Origami’s plans to attack Tohka and the others. But what if there was a chance to turn back the clock and potentially undo everything...?

Shido stumbles across the ninth Spirit, Nia, collapsed from hunger on the side of the road. To make her fall in love with him, he decides to take her out on an otaku date, but she reveals a shocking truth... “I’ve only ever fallen in love with two dimensional characters.” What is Shido going to do?!

DO YOU WANT FRIES WITH YOUR HELLFIRE? Thanks to the efforts of Maou and friends, Emi has made it back from Ente Isla in one piece-at the cost of her job at the call center, after all those pesky, unexcused absences. To add insult to injury, Maou confronts Emi with an invoice for "expenses incurred" during the rescue. Emi is shocked, but her pride as the Hero means she can't abide being indebted to a demon. Soon, she's dipping into her savings and searching for a new job to pay her tab. Meanwhile, Urushihara has been sequestered in a hospital, where his body undergoes frightening changes... just as Maou (shockingly!) refuses to go to work?!

The children of Flio’s house have been growing up fast—in fact, their growth has been rapidly accelerated thanks to the mixture of human and demon blood running through their veins! Flio’s son Garyl especially is quickly becoming a fine young man determined to prove himself a worthy protector of his secret love, the Maiden Queen of Klyrode herself. So when Garyl receives an invitation for a sword-fighting tournament in the far-off Hi Izuru, the Land of the Rising Sun, how could he turn down a chance to attend? And with Flio himself hoping to add the Land of the Rising Sun to the growing network of flight routes visited by his fleet of Enchanted Frigates, the event sounds like the perfect occasion for a family vacation! What adventures await the family in this distant land? Who’s this villain that’s been paying their workers in worthless counterfeit coins? And did Flio really just warp an entire mountain next to Blossom’s farm?!

This issue of The Ministry contains a complete record of the twelve messages given during the 2007 summer training on the crystallization-study of the Epistles of John, held July 2 through 7 in Anaheim, California. The crucial truth and burden embodied in these twelve messages may be summarized in four statements: (1) The fellowship of the eternal life, the flow of the eternal life within all the believers, is the reality of living in the Body of Christ; (2) We know the Triune God by experiencing and enjoying Him as the One who dwells in our spirit and desires to spread into our heart; (3) By the anointing of the all-inclusive compound Spirit, who is the composition of the Divine Trinity, we know and enjoy the Father, the Son, and the Spirit as our life and life supply; (4) The Son of God has given us an understanding so that we might know the true One, the genuine and real God, and be one with Him organically in His Son Jesus Christ, who is eternal life to us. These messages are being published immediately following the training in order that they might benefit the saints participating in the many video trainings that are held throughout the earth. The Reports and Announcements section includes a presentation of the Lord's burden for His move in Europe and an announcement about the upcoming gospel feast in South Korea.

It’s finally happened. A full year after Andou and his literary club friends awakened to tremendously potent powers, the world of supernatural battles has finally arrived at their doorstep in the form of Tamaki: a girl from the darkest moment in Andou’s past! Andou has plenty of baggage with Tamaki, and Tamaki seems to have quite an axe to grind with him, so when she spirits him away to an unfamiliar cityscape, it seems safe to say her intentions are less than peaceful. Worse still, the nature of Tamaki’s power means that there’s little to no hope of Andou’s significantly more combat-capable friends storming onto the scene to bail him out! If Andou wants to make it out unscathed, he’ll have to confront his past head-on and use both his wits and his power to their fullest potential! But, of course, Andou’s plight pales in comparison to one single, burning question: what’s Sagami up to while all of that’s going down?

This issue of The Ministry contains the last nine messages given during the 2006 spring term of the full-time training in Anaheim, California. The general subject of this series of messages is "Knowing and Experiencing the Intrinsic Constitution of the Building of God." The processed and consummated Triune God Himself is the constituent of God's building. When this processed and consummated Triune God as the constituent is dispensed into us, wrought into us, and built into us by being mingled with us, the result is not simply the constituent but a constitution. This constitution issues in a unique kind of being--a redeemed, regenerated, transformed, tripartite human being mingled with and one with the processed and consummated Triune God to be a real God-man. The intrinsic significance of 2 Samuel 7:12-14a--a prophecy concerning the building of God--is that the Triune God is working Himself in His processed and consummated Trinity into our being to make us His abode and to make Himself our abode. This is the focus of the messages contained in this volume. The all-inclusive life-giving Spirit as the extract of the processed and consummated Triune God in His economy is the constituent. God's central work is to dispense this constituent into every fiber of our being, saturating us, permeating us, constituting us, sonizing us, Christifying us, divinizing us, and deifying us so that although we remain human and therefore creatures, we become Triune God-constituted men, whose being is a constitution of the processed and consummated Triune God as the constituent. Now we, in our being, become this constitution, and as such we are part of the building of God. Last of all, we include a report concerning the Lord's move in Ivory Coast, a French-speaking country of West Africa.

The Retirement Series documents Jefferson's written legacy between his return to private life on 4 March 1809 and his death on 4 July 1826. During this period Jefferson founded the University of Virginia and sold his extraordinary library to the nation, but his greatest legacy from these years is the astonishing depth and breadth of his correspondence with statesmen, inventors, scientists, philosophers, and ordinary citizens on topics spanning virtually every field of human endeavor.--From publisher description.
