Pages : 238
Book Description
Jud Caryit is a self-proclaimed prophet fueled by the desire to save souls through murder. Dove Prisca is a suicide survivor who hates her mother's god, and only keeps living because her mother is dying of cancer. The two of them meet, and find they are more similar than they first think.The novel is set in the bleak stage of an impoverished Appalachian town called Lackspew. The land is peppered with absurd, dark, and hilarious characters that feel all too real. The black humor lightens the darkness with wit and charm, while the graveness and grotesque nature of the tale make any sane reader pause and reflect on their own life.And then there is the intriguing concept of Good Evil that plays a strange part in this already bizarre story. It's a theodicy fitting for the suffering characters of Lackspew. "In the beginning was God and the abyss."Neither Moth nor Rust is a Southern Gothic in the vein of Faulkner and O'Connor, with a splash of Dostoevsky inspired spiritual musings, and a Mishima-like description of beauty and the importance of it and action. The language is beautiful and precise, and no words are wasted in a compact story that stays with you long after it's done.

The Treasure Principle, Revised and Updated
Author: Randy Alcorn
Publisher: Multnomah
ISBN: 1588601226

Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
Discover how the joy of giving can make your life richer, starting today. Bestselling author Randy Alcorn introduced readers to a revolution in material freedom and radical generosity with the release of the original The Treasure Principle in 2001. Now the revision to the compact, perennial bestseller includes a provocative new concluding chapter depicting God asking a believer questions about his stewardship over material resources. Jesus spent more time talking about money and possessions than about heaven and hell combined. But too often we’ve overlooked or misunderstood his most profound teaching on this topic, from his words in Matthew 6. Jesus offers us life-changing investment advice. He actually wants us to store up treasures for ourselves—just not here on earth. Instead, he urges us to store our treasure in heaven, where they will await us, and last forever. We can’t take it with us—but we can send it on ahead! Readers are moved from the realms of thoughtful Bible exposition into the highly personal arena of everyday life. Because when Jesus told His followers to “lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,” He intended that they discover an astounding secret: how joyful giving brings God maximum glory and His children maximum pleasure. In The Treasure Principle, you’ll unearth a radical teaching of Jesus—a secret wrapped up in giving. Once you discover this secret, life will never look the same. And you won’t want it to be. “Supercharged with stunning, divine truth! Lightning struck over and over as I read it.” - John Piper, Senior Pastor, Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis

Envisioning Scripture: Joseph Smith's Revelations in Their Early American Contexts
Author: Colby Townsend
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781560854470
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
The first fifty years of United States history was a period of seemingly endless possibility. With the birth of a new country during the age of revolutions came new religions, new literary genres, new political parties, temperance and abolitionist societies, and the expansion of print and marketing networks that would dramatically change the course of the century. Envisioning Scripture: Joseph Smith's Revelations in Their Early American Contexts brings together ten essays from leading scholars on the history of early American religion and print culture. Covering issues of gender, race, prophecy, education, scripture, real and narrative time, authority and power, and apocalypticism, the essays invite the reader--scholar, student, etc.--to expand their knowledge of early Mormon history by grasping more fully the American contexts that Mormonism grew out of. Contributors include Catherine A. Brekus, William Davis, Elizabeth Fenton, Kathleen Flake, Paul Gutjahr, Jared Hickman, Susan Juster, Seth Perry, Laura Thiemann Scales, and Roberto A. Valdeón.
