At the time of Norway's original conversion to Christianity, two missionaries stumble upon the spiritual lesson of a lifetime.The missionaries find themselves in the company of a wise old man, who was one of the original converts to Christianity in Norway. In the form of an intelligent Socratic dialogue, the three men converse about ideas the missionaries had never before considered. The dialogue that unfolds goes deeply into exploring human sinfulness, judgment, and moral precepts. As the old man tries to explain to his audience, right and wrong - as purported to be from God's eyes - is not a true judgment, but only a mere imitation of people. The men slowly open up themselves to life-changing revelations.A deeply theological work, The Knowledge of Good and Evil may bring readers, even if they do not understand the main thesis, to a greater understanding of the law, judgment, punishment and morality, while revealing God's love through all of them.David Murdoch is a convert to the Roman Catholic faith and the author of the novel Ana Markovic. In addition to being a writer, he is also a historical researcher and a part-time taste tester for a large grocery store chain. He lives in Toronto, Canada.

When he was a baby only three months old, Frank Eckblom's mother tried to kill him, an act that would have her confined to a mental hospital for the rest of her life. As a child, he was subject to abuse at the hands of his stepmother, who punished bad behavior by beatings with a backyard fence picket.It was a trauma that no child should ever have to endure, a trauma that led to a condition of severe anxiety and panic attacks that would plague Frank throughout his life.Sustained by the extraordinary love of three Aunts , Frank not only persevered, but went on to develop a strong desire to live life to its fullest. It would take self-study, perseverance, development of his talents, numerous adventures, and the endless support of his wife, but the result was the happiest and most rewarding life possible.Love and Cold Poison is an inspiring account of a truly remarkable journey through life; it tears at the heart, it inspires the mind, it moves the spirit.
