‘SALIGIA’ Inverts the Seven Deadly Sins: New Book Explores Virtues Through Mythological Fantasy

‘SALIGIA’ Inverts the Seven Deadly Sins: New Book Explores Virtues Through Mythological Fantasy

Balle Balle Radio Entertainment Desk

Author Tagore Almeida’s new book, “SALIGIA: The Evil Is Outside. The War Is Within.,” is now available on Amazon, according to the announcement promoting the release.

The title is not invented for the book. SALIGIA is a centuries-old Latin mnemonic device used in Christian theology to remember the seven deadly sins: Superbia (pride), Avaritia (greed), Luxuria (lust), Invidia (envy), Gula (gluttony), Ira (wrath) and Acedia (sloth). The sins themselves never appear as an explicit list in the Bible; the grouping developed within early Christian tradition, drawing on scattered biblical passages, and the acronym became a memory aid for clergy and laypeople alike. The announcement itself does not spell out this connection, though it’s central to how the book’s central conceit works.

Where the traditional mnemonic catalogs vices, Almeida’s book inverts it: according to the announcement, the story is structured as a journey through a symbolic ancestral dwelling with separate rooms, each embodying different virtues rather than sins — courage, compassion, humility, integrity, forgiveness, reverence and love. Other promotional material describes the book as a mythological fantasy following characters named Salem and Medea on a quest against the forces the title names, and credits the release to publisher The Alcove Publishers, which has described the book as blending mythology, self-reflection and mystery.

The announcement frames the project as “a fusion of mythological elements, spiritual themes, philosophical inquiry, and personal exploration,” built around the idea that readers already possess the virtues the book examines, rather than seeking them from external sources.

The book is currently listed for sale on Amazon under Almeida’s author page.

Former Navy Serviceman Crafts Spiritual Thriller Linking Esther’s Story to Modern Crisis

Balle Balle Radio Entertainment Desk

Terry Ginn has published "For Such a Time as This," a contemporary military thriller that reimagines the biblical narrative of Esther, according to the publisher, Christian Faith Publishing. The book follows a former CIA operative rescued by a Navy SEAL team and brought aboard an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf, where he pushes a Navy corpsman from the Missouri Ozarks to read the Old Testament account of Esther — and the two begin to see parallels between ancient persecution of the Jewish people and a present-day plot targeting Israel and other major cities.

Ginn grounds the story in his personal history: childhood in the Ozark hills and Navy service aboard an aircraft carrier during Vietnam, experience he has said shaped the novel’s naval detail. He has also described the Book of Esther as, in his words, the greatest "sting operation" in biblical history — a framing that underpins the book’s central comparison between the ancient narrative and its modern-day parallel plot. Ginn spent four years writing the novel, per the announcement.

"I wanted to illustrate God’s unwavering love for His people and show how Jesus’s death and resurrection makes eternal life possible for all believers," Ginn said in a statement released with the book. "By connecting Esther’s courage with contemporary challenges, I hoped to demonstrate that faith remains relevant and powerful in our modern world."

The novel centers on themes of redemption and what the publisher describes as divine providence — the concept that their encounter and purpose are ordained rather than coincidental. It was published through Christian Faith Publishing, a Christian-market publishing house, and is available now in bookstores and through Apple Books, Amazon, Google Play and Barnes & Noble.

No release date beyond the announcement was provided, and there’s no indication yet of whether the book is part of a planned series.
