Jerusalem
Author: Alan Moore
Publisher: Liveright Publishing
ISBN: 1631491350
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 1954
Book Description
New York Times Bestseller Named one of the Best Books of the Year by NPR, the Washington Post, Kirkus Reviews, and Library Journal Winner of the Audie Award The New York Times bestseller from the author of Watchmen and V for Vendetta finally appears in a one-volume paperback. Begging comparisons to Tolstoy and Joyce, this “magnificent, sprawling cosmic epic” (Guardian) by Alan Moore—the genre-defying, “groundbreaking, hairy genius of our generation” (NPR)—takes its place among the most notable works of contemporary English literature. In decaying Northampton, eternity loiters between housing projects. Among saints, kings, prostitutes, and derelicts, a timeline unravels: second-century fiends wait in urine-scented stairwells, delinquent specters undermine a century with tunnels, and in upstairs parlors, laborers with golden blood reduce fate to a snooker tournament. Through the labyrinthine streets and pages of Jerusalem tread ghosts singing hymns of wealth and poverty. They celebrate the English language, challenge mortality post-Einstein, and insist upon their slum as Blake’s eternal holy city in “Moore’s apotheosis, a fourth-dimensional symphony” (Entertainment Weekly). This “brilliant . . . monumentally ambitious” tale from the gutter is “a massive literary achievement for our time—and maybe for all times simultaneously” (Washington Post).

Blessed and Beautiful
Author: Lisa Washington Lamb
Publisher: Wipf and Stock Publishers
ISBN: 1620328127
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
Colleges can do it. Hospitals can do it. Workplaces can do it. Why does the church in the United States still find it so difficult to integrate across racial and ethnic divides? In Blessed and Beautiful Lisa Lamb trains her sights on one often overlooked facet of forging life together: the magnetic power of shared memories. Those common narratives bind ethnic groups together and keep them apart. This book explores the sociological and theological dimensions of social memory and considers the particularly powerful tool preaching could be for shaping individuals who are willing to risk remembering their people's past in church and for shaping churches capable of hearing those stories. While keenly aware of the complex dynamics involved, Lamb ultimately gives pastors and other church leaders a glimmer of hope as they seek to build reconciled communities of faith.

I Wanna Go Again
Author: Joe Best
Publisher: Ascendere Publishing
ISBN: 0954813375
Category : Voyages and travels
Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
'I Wanna Go Again!' is the single, heartfelt sentence that all travellers whisper to themselves as they stumble, stunned and suffering that awful sense of anti-climax, back through Arrivals at airports, train stations and ports, all over the world, as they return wearily home. Every reader and every traveller will relate to Joe Best's humorous story, told in his own unique, down-to-earth, blokey style. The book is hot, fresh, young and funky and based on the diaries of Joe's maiden voyage. Before leaving the security of Berkshire at the age of 24 he had worked for an accounting firm and been bored senseless by the meaningless of his life. He needed to escape his reality and create a new one. But when he and a group of young friends set off travelling the world on a 12 month adventure, full of trepidation, naïve and innocent, armed only with Joe's sensible sterilisation cup (given to him by his sensible Mum), he has no idea if they will all make it back safely. (Although, to be fair, he has read a variety of books about daring SAS exploits, and he is hoping for the best). Through their wild journey, Joe and the boys develop a strong and lasting camaraderie; they have no real options, but if they set out as friends they return as life long soul mates, having shared some very odd, cathartic experiences. Joe eventually settled down to write his lush travel memoir almost 10 years after making it back to Taplow and his Mum. He explains, "Travelling does not need to be daunting. It changes everything, and gives you the confidence to get on with the rest of your life. The memories last fresh for ever."
