Book Description
Ed is punchy, unemployed, and on the wrong side of thirty. After his exasperated wife, Victoria, leaves him, Ed finds consolation where he has always found it, in his own rich and eccentric imagination. Pursued by the demons of his own obsession, Ed embarks on a quixotic quest to find Victoria. As he prowls the city’s parking garages and motel strips, Ed begins a journey back into his past and is forced – most reluctantly – to confront the web of lies and self-deceptions he has woven to keep reality at bay – until even his fantasies start to turn against him. Keenly observant, humane, and darkly comic, My Present Age is an irresistible story about what happens when an Everyman becomes a casualty of modern life.

The Present Age
Author: Soren Kierkegaard
Publisher: Harper Perennial Modern Classics
ISBN: 9780062930859
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
A part of Harper Perennial’s special “Resistance Library” highlighting classic works that illuminate the “Age of Trump”: Soren Kierkegaard’s stunningly prescient essay on the dangers of mass media—particularly advertising, marketing, and publicity. An essential read as we reckon with, and try to understand, the media forces that have helped create our present political moment. “The Present Age shows just how original Kierkegaard was. He brilliantly foresaw the dangers of the lack of commitment and responsibility in the Public Sphere. When everything is up for endless detached critical comment as on blogs and cable news, action finally becomes impossible.”— Hubert L. Dreyfus, University of California, Berkeley “A revolutionary age is an age of action; ours is the age of advertisement and publicity. Nothing ever happens but there is immediate publicity everywhere.”— From The Present Age In The Present Age (1846), Søren Kierkegaard analyzes the philosophical implications of a society dominated by the mass-media. What makes the essay so remarkable is the way it seems to speak directly to our time—i.e. the Information Age—where life is dominated by mere “information” not true “knowledge.” Kierkegaard even goes so far as to say that advertising and publicity almost immediately co-opts and suppresses revolutionary actions/thoughts. The Present Age is essential reading for anyone who wishes to better understand the modern world.

Pages : 116
Book Description
"Those who would know Kierkegaard, the intesely religious humorist, the irrepressibly witty critic of his age and ours, can do no better than to begin with this book. [In it] we find the heart of Kierkagaard. It is not innocuous, not genteel, not comfortable. He does not invite the reader to realx and have a little laugh with him at the expense of other people or at his own foibles. Kierkegaard deliberately challenges the reader's whole existence. "Nor does he merely challenge our existence; he also questions some ideas that had become well entrenched in his time and that are even more characteristic of the present age. Kierkegaard insists, for example, that Christianity was from the start essentially authoritarian--not just that the Catholic Church was, or that Calvin was, or Luther, or, regrettably, most of the Christian churches, but that Christ was--and is. Indeed, though Kierkegaard was, and wished to be, an individual, and even said that on his tombstone he would like no other epitaph than 'That Individual,' his protest against his age was centered in his lament over the loss of authority." --Walter Kaufman, in the Introduction

Interview with a Spiritual Warrior
Author: George Macias
Publisher: Covenant Books, Inc.
ISBN: 1645594475
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
This book documents my unique, firsthand experiences as a spiritual warrior for the Lord Jesus Christ. For the past fifteen years, I have been battling evil entities in the spiritual realm, and thanks to the Lord, I have successfully overcome them. To begin, the Lord had to teach me how to enter the spiritual dimension and travel outside of my physical body. This book details my becoming a spiritual warrior of the Lord. The Lord called me to my mission in 1984 when I was visited by the Blessed Mother, who gave me the Lord's graces and blessings and awakened me to my spirituality. Since then, the Holy Spirit has guided me, increasing my acceptance that I had a special gift. As a truly charismatic Christian, I have been blessed with the miraculous gift of being groomed by the Holy Spirit to fight spiritual battles on behalf of those whom the Lord has guided to me. The Holy Spirit has taught me how to fight these battles not in the physical world but in the spiritual realm of our Lord. Through this miracle, I have traveled to the stars and beyond, to far distant planets, and to other dimensions outside of our galaxy to do the work of our Lord. This book documents my fifteen years of experience as a spiritual warrior. In a world full of ever-increasing reports about people who have had spiritual encounters, I have experienced life after death, and as a warrior, I have personally battled evil entities. In 2014, I received a message from the Lord that instead of visiting people in their homes to pray for them, I needed to write a book on my spiritual battles. By writing the book, it would enable me to help not just hundreds of people but literally thousands throughout the world. I believe our salvation depends on having a deep awareness and understanding of our spirituality. People also need to connect with their spiritual side in order to become successful and fulfilled in life. We all want to live life to the fullest. This book will help the reader to accept the Lord's blessings and the Lord's graces, unlocking the secrets of your spirituality. It will give people hope and increase their faith.
