Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - A selection of poetry, drama, and short fiction. The material is mostly experimental although rhyming and word play are important in the poetry. The subject matter varies from split-second perceptions to life long debates with inner demons. As life is the interplay of repair and renewal this work reflects that interplay not only in the selections presented but also in their arrangement as a whole. We start out confused but amazed and we end up somehow wishing we were children again. I hope you read the whole work and reread what seems confusing. Some of this may take some time to make sense--life is like that too.Reviews:'A richly depressing interlude.'--Christian Service Monitor'A superbly poor work.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Johnny Once is a family saga, chronicling the Rosarios, born and bred in the loud and gaudy Italian American enclave, Bensonhurst. It is a New York City story--peopled by a cross-section of urban ethnics: blacks, Latins, and whites (Italians, Jews, Irish, and WASPS accounted for). It is about racial and electoral politics, how they intersect and how they can rend the city's heart. It is about the effort to reconcile current life and values--in this case, embodied by Manhattan's liberal and sophisticated Upper West Side--with the pull of personal history and roots--Brooklyn's standpat and parochial Bensonhurst. It is about fathers and sons and the legacy, burdens, and code of behavior that get passed on. It is about the decline of the power of the Mafia and loyalty and betrayal among brothers and friends.Johnny Once has sex, violence and rock and roll in it--but in the main, it is two things: a mystery, the resolution of which has grave consequences for our heroes; and a love story between two old friends who seek in their romance a number of things, including refuge from the surrounding turmoil.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Bible is not the word of God.Biblical Nonsense is a broad look at the tremendous problem of associating divinity with the world's most popular book. This part-philosophical, part-scientific overview explores the Bible's divine treachery, scientific mistakes, historical errors, false prophecies, and comical absurdities. Biblical Nonsense also expands beyond these standard reasons for skepticism by tackling the rationale behind the emergence and perpetuation of Christianity, psychological and sociocultural reasons that drive Christians to cling to their beliefs, and illogical methods of argumentation invoked in the defense of the Bible.Author Dr. Jason Long is a former Christian who condenses the most significant biblical problems into this single volume. Unlike other books in the field that delve into only one topic, this manuscript, comprehensible even to those who have never opened a Bible, is a full-fledged attempt to demonstrate that God's supposed word is a product of human minds, not divine inspiration. Dr. Long's fresh experiences in the church and advanced levels of educational enlightenment make him the perfect individual to present this vehemently unpopular, yet undeniably appealing topic. …
