The book involves a series of satirical letters from a professor of Deception at Perverse University in Hell. The professor has been writing monthly letters for years to his former students (demons) who are in the United States working to tempt Americans away from their traditional values and heritage. As the author, I claim to have intercepted these confidential letters of instruction and am now publishing them in book form to warn Americans of the lies, deception, and craftiness being used against them by Satan and these former students of P.U. Perverse University is located in Smoke City, Hell. The university colors are red and white and the university mascot is a Fighting Red Devil.
"Spiritual kin to Gertude Stein, Tom Smith exalts in inspired wordplay, running the gamut from sublime nonsense to the most surprising sorts of common sense, so deftly that it's sometimes hard to tell which is which. He is a virtuoso of the ruggedly original." -Harry Smith publishing, poet, essayist (Pulpsmith, The Sexy Sixties) "In Spending the Light we are given…the distilled wisdom and wit and experience of a lifetime, with more than half a century of it devoted to creating memorable and original poetry. There is an extraordinary diversity of form and tone and a rich variety of dramatic voices, not least of which is the clear, strong voice of Tom Smith himself." -George Garrett poet, novelist, author of Whistling in the Dark "These poems sing of the domestic and the familiar and in their quiet power make the humdrum numinous. The poet's facility with simile and metaphor allows quiet observation and wry reaction to soar in significance. His classical allusions escape pedantry and his insights, religious and secular, as well as his uncluttered observation of children, are an important facet of his poetic strength." -David Watmough author of Thy Mother's Glass, Hunting With Diana, et al. "Tom Smith is a poet in Paul Goodman mode-a family man with well-honed peripheral vision. From Spending the Light we discover that changing a life need not mean hiding a life." -Rudy Kikel author of Period Pieces and poetry editor of Bay Windows and The South End News
The life of Joseph is one of the most compelling stories in the pages of the best-selling Book of all time, The Bible. This writing delves deep into the account of Joseph, breaks it down verse by verse, and ties this exciting account directly to other passages throughout the Scriptures. The account of Joseph is connected to passages in both the Old and New Testaments and most importantly, to the life of Jesus Christ. There are many parallels between the life of Joseph and the life that our Lord and Savior Jesus led. The amazing events in Joseph's life were arranged or set by God to give us a preview of what was to come far in the future through God's Messiah, Jesus Christ. While exploring the life of Joseph we will see in more detail that Joseph was undoubtedly a human foreshadowing of the One who was foretold of in the Old Testament Scriptures, Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the long-awaited Messiah of Israel.
Account of how faith trumps fear. This book is an interesting look at how belief and understanding are always mutually exclusive. This book reinforces the Biblical premise that the word alone is not enough for human beings to prosper. Instead, the word must be partnered with thoughts and deeds to create a proverbial tripartite being in the reader. Basically, the Author stresses, through her teachings, the importance of recognizing that before the body can act, the mind must conceive of the act, the heart must embrace the thought conceived of and then the body must move in furtherance of carrying out the act that was conceived of and embraced. There are three essential parts to every being. This book is an excellent tool for tapping into all three aspects of your earthly being. How you receive the word into your thoughts; how you embrace the word in your heart; and ultimately, how you carry out the word, will be determined by how you have been socialized, what your purpose for acting is and who you are surrounded by. This book is a power tool for the effective implementation of practices that will enable the reader to grow in many ways. This includes, but is not limited to growth spiritually, physically, intellectually, morally and psychologically. However, its impact will be determined solely by the reader and their application of the principles detailed herein.
