Der Weltbestseller in einer limitierten Sonderausgabe›Stoner‹ ist einer der großen Romane der amerikanischen Literatur. John Williams erzählt das Leben eines Mannes, der, als Sohn armer Farmer geboren, schließlich seine Leidenschaft für Literatur entdeckt und Professor wird. Ein Roman über Freundschaft, Ehe, ein Campus-Roman, ein Gesellschaftsroman, ein Roman über die Arbeit des Lebens. ›Stoner‹ ist kein Liebesroman, aber ein Roman über die Liebe zur Poesie, zur Literatur und über die romantische Liebe. Es ist ein Roman darüber, was es heißt, ein Mensch zu sein.

Ein überwältigender Roman über die Zerbrechlichkeit von Menschlichkeit und Würde.Es ist um 1870, als Will Andrews der Aussicht auf eine glänzende Karriere und Harvard den Rücken kehrt. Beflügelt von der Naturauffassung Ralph W. Emersons, sucht er im Westen nach einer »ursprünglichen Beziehung zur Natur«. In Butcher's Crossing, einem kleinen entlegenen Städtchen in Kansas, wimmelt es von rastlosen Männern, die das Abenteuer suchen und schnell verdientes Geld ebenso schnell wieder vergeuden. Einer von ihnen lockt Andrews mit Geschichten von riesigen Büffelherden, die, versteckt in einem entlegenen Tal tief in den Colorado Rockies, nur eingefangen werden müssten: Andrews schließt sich einer Expedition an, mit dem Ziel, die Tiere aufzuspüren. Die Reise ist aufreibend und strapaziös, aber am Ende erreichen die Männer einen Ort von paradiesischer Schönheit. Doch statt von Ehrfurcht werden sie von Gier ergriffen - und entfesseln eine Tragödie. Ein Roman darüber, wie man im Leben verliert und was man dadurch gewinnen kann.

Arguing that what is needed is a provisional approach to ministry which recognises that all forms of ministry are, and always have been a response to social and cultural context, 'Ecclesianarchy' brings theological and practical insight to bear on the question of ministry's provisionality.

Cradled in His Mighty Arms contains poetry covering five major areas of my life spanning forty-four years. The first two, work and recreation, are forestry-related. The prison ministry, family, and love of God round out this delve into the adventures of my life expressed in a unique and entertaining way.This work contains poetry that expresses my relationships in each of these areas. I preface the poems relating the reasons for writing them and situations surrounding their creation.The poetry in Cradled in His Mighty Arms was written about real life happenings while I was experiencing life itself. Most of the poems came to me while operating tree harvesting equipment and dealing with the challenges of production. Surrounded by a strange mixture of beautiful forests and uncommon danger, faced daily by men and women in the forestry field, I relate stories and actual happenings through poetry, that are both easy to read and comprehend. I share my love of the outdoors as well as the love I have for God, family, and my calling in the prison ministry. The work is easy to read and understand, while being deep, thought-provoking, and at times humorous as well.I feel the poetry within is encouraging and uplifting, while telling the story of my journey as a Christian woodsman. If this book of poetry can change a person's perspective of life from the negative to the positive, it would have been well worth the effort. If only one person strives to draw nearer to Christ through this work, I would consider it a success.

There have been many attempts to explain life. For the most part they are variants on a religious or mystical theme. These provide a purpose to life but not the purpose of life. A full, rational explanation of our existence based on our rapidly accumulating scientific knowledge has eluded us - until now. The explanation of life which is offered in this book draws on three main components: evolution, genetics and psychology. However, something exists in our mind which stops us from seeing clearly what is already before us. Once this block is removed we can view life objectively and see it as a special form of information which has arisen through evolution. Information is identified as the unifying entity of the universe which is inherent in the spatial arrangement of matter. This book relates these findings to our world and our lives. It sets out in rational terms where we came from, how we got here and finally, reveals our destiny. www.thelastbook.co.uk

The sermon explores the idea of divine revelation and discusses the possibility, expediency, and necessity of such a revelation.
