Conversations with the Father

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 135
Book Description
In Conversations with the Father, screenwriter and author Chris Matheson shares memories of his dad, famed horror and science fiction writer Richard Matheson. He recalls the warmth and affection his dad showed him as a child—their shared love for the Dodgers and family game nights—and recounts their later estrangement over the big questions: life, death, the unknown and unknowable. Through his own unique point of view as son, Matheson offers the reader rare insights into the wit, intellect, fears, and, later, regrets of the man who penned such classics as I Am Legend, What Dreams May Come, and The Shrinking Man—and the strongly held yet often chimeric personal religious and spiritual views that shaped many of his most memorable stories and characters.

Conversations with Joanna Scott
Author: Michael Lackey
Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 1496829360
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 181
Book Description
Joanna Scott (b. 1960) has been one of America’s leading writers since the 1990s. Both critically acclaimed and winner of numerous prestigious awards, Scott’s unique and probing vision and masterful writing has inspired readers to adjust their perceptions of life and of themselves. Her fiction jolts and illuminates, frequently exposing the degree to which the perverse is natural and the ordinary is twisted and demented. Conversations with Joanna Scott presents eighteen interviews that span two decades and are as much about the process of reading as they are about writing. Witty, probing, wide-ranging, and insightful, Scott’s off-the-cuff observations about literature and life are as thought-provoking as some of the most memorable lines and scenes in her fiction. Not only shedding new light on Scott’s fiction, Conversations with Joanna Scott also illuminates enduring areas of inquiry, like the challenge of trying to make art out of sentences; the effort to recover and imagine lost stories from the past; the changing status of the literary imagination; fictional portraiture and the productive possibilities that come from blending biography and fiction; and concerns about literacy. Joanna Scott has made her name through brilliant, award-winning novels, but this volume clarifies why she is also one of America’s leading public intellectuals and an astute critic of literature and culture.

Conversations with God
Author: Uche W. Anoliefo
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1982283319
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 91
Book Description
About the Book God has not entirely hidden His purpose of creating man in His own image when He created the heavens and earth and all things therein. He designed us to be able to have direct communion with Him, as we read in Genesis 2:15–17. This direct communion was, however, estranged by the sin of Adam and Eve. To remedy the Fall, God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, whose death on the cross was a sacrifice for our reconciliation back to the glory of God. In Jesus Christ, who is the image of the invisible God, we can see God and commune with Him, powered by the redeeming name of His Son, Jesus, and through the help and counsel of the Holy Spirit. Hence, we are sons and daughters of God, and in our interaction with Him in prayer, which is a conversation, we become sure of our heavenly inheritance. The name of Jesus, through the all-important and reliable work of the Holy Spirit, provides us with the vital knowledge and understanding of the vast riches and hidden treasures of God on our planet earth, plus a tiny glimpse of what awaits us in heaven. The way and manner of this conversation, its necessity in our daily lives as individual persons, the government, and the communities in our world today, is what this book is set to describe. This inspired work of the Holy Spirit is meant to open your eyes to God’s supernatural resources around you. Many people today have what you need; they may be willing to share with others, but for some reason, you do not see them or appreciate their virtues. Reading this book and understanding the God in you will make a difference. Experience the peace of the almighty God as you begin a conversation with Him in the truth, liberty, and joy of His Spirit, using the name of Jesus as the master key to all doors. This book serves as the step and provides the key to the divine peace of mind and God’s hidden treasures.
