Pages : 122
Book Description
Arguably (and who doesn’t like to argue?) the world’s bestselling cult author, Joe R. Lansdale is celebrated across several continents for his dark humor, his grimly gleeful horror, and his outlaw politics. Welcome to Texas. With hits like Bubba Ho-Tep and The Drive-In the Lansdale secret was always endangered, and the spectacular new Hap and Leonard Sundance TV series is busily blowing whatever cover Joe had left. Backwoods noir some call it; others call it redneck surrealism. Joe’s signature style is on display here in all its grit, grime, and glory, beginning with two (maybe three) previously unpublished Hap and Leonard tales revealing the roots of their unlikely partnership. Plus… A hatful and a half of Joe’s notorious Texas Observer pieces that helped catapult him from obscurity into controversy; and “Miracles Ain’t What They Used to Be,” Lansdale’s passionately personal take on the eternal tussles between God and Man, Texas and America, racism and reason—and religion and common sense. And Featuring: Our Outspoken Interview, in which piney woods dialect, Bible thumpery, martial arts, crime classics and Hollywood protocols are finally awarded the attention they deserve. Or don’t.

Night Shift
Author: Eileen Gunn
Publisher: PM Press
ISBN: 1629639567
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 89
Book Description
Wry, dark humor burnishes visionary SF in these often prophetic, sometimes troubling, but always fascinating tales that combine and masterfully conflate the disparate worlds of corporate tech and literary art. “After the Thaw” is a hi-tech take on an ancient idea: immortality. “Terrible Trudy on the Lam” based on actual events, is a modern fable about a zoo escape, a private eye, a vaudeville act and keeping your mouth shut. “Night Shift at NanoGobblers,” written for a NASA website, is about asteroid-altering AIs and their world-weary earthbound handlers. “Transitions” deals with jet lag when your flight is decades late. Gunn’s long-awaited third collection is rounded out by incisive and affectionate portraits of her SF colleagues, mentors, and friends, beginning with Ursula Le Guin. All illuminated of course by our artfully intimate interview.

Catholicity Ain’T What It Used to Be
Author: Danny Brock
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1490837337
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 228
Book Description
Danny Brocks Catholicity Aint What It Used to Be is a rich experience in practical theology, a theology for everyone, because it is a deeply personal reflection on the faith journey, the story of his own soul as a Catholic in the postVatican II church and in a very challenging postmodern culture. As Brock outlines the challenges of the New Evangelization facing teens, the Catholic school, religious educators, parents, and the institutional church, he describes vividly the mess we sometimes find ourselves in, and at the same time he suggests ways of stepping through that mess by bringing to life the beauty and richness of our Catholic faith and the joy of serving Jesus as we journey with young people in our Christian community. Brocks reflections serve as a GPS to help us recalculate where we find ourselves as church and in our culture today as the evangelizing community of Jesus. His unique charism in finding hope in the young persons he serves becomes a great gift of hope for the pilgrim church today.

Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
Crossing the North Atlantic Ocean in a small sailboat is no longer a news-grabbing event. Recent advances in navigation and communication equipment, unavailable a few short years ago, have greatly improved sailors chances of survival and success. Nevertheless, the waters of the North Atlantic Ocean still present many different moods and difficultoften extremechallenges. In 1996 three Lake Ontario sailors from TorontoHenk Borsboom, Peter Becker and the author, Dick Grannandecided to accept the challenges of the North Atlantic Ocean on RABASKA (big canoe), a thirty-seven foot Alberg sailboat. The adventure had a huge impact on their lives, and their memories tell fascinating stories of what they experienced on that trip. Many sailors who write about cruising have a chapter about The Storm. Crossing the North Atlantic Ocean in 1996 was not about just one major storm, but a series of them that nearly defeated their spirit and courage. The sailors faced relentless challenges when they crossed the worlds second-largest ocean in a small sailboat. Grannan tells how they worked together as a team, and how the trip enabled them to rearrange their priorities and to get more in touch with their everyday lives.

It Ain't You, The Battle is in the Air
Author: Alzina Mouton-Moore
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1635253896
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
The Lord instructed Alzina to write It Ain't You because it's a universal thing, not for just men. As I follow his instruction, he advised me that these battles were in the air. He walked me through step by step with the battles then the scriptures because these battles are not us. Therefore, It Ain't You: The Battle Is in the Air is all God. Even though there are many, many more, those are the ones He instructed me to work with. As we met every morning at three thirty, He downloaded me with the scriptures I had already used. And I told Him I used that scripture already, but I was obedient. I truly thank God for trusting me to write this book because as I was writing and studying, it helped me. He even allowed me to feel that these battles are in the air, and they are real. These battles are so real; only Jesus could heal, deliver, and set free and stop the battles from being attached and detaching the ones we are wearing. We talk about how the unsaved act and the so-called saved ones, and we judge but we can't those same battles could have been attached to us. Our families, friends, and people we don't know and even our enemies, and we think it's them but it's not. And when we think about a person in their right mind would never do some of the things that are happening in this world today if they were in their right mind. So I do love Jesus with all my heart, mind, and soul; and I need to be obedient to Him. May God truly minister to your hearts, minds, and spirits.
