What Am I Doing Here?
Author: Abner Dean
Publisher: New York Review of Books
ISBN: 1681370492
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
What Am I Doing Here? is a startling masterwork by one of the forgotten innovators of American comics. In 1945, after more than a decade as a commercial illustrator—drawing advertisements and cartoons for Life, Time, Esquire, Newsweek, and many other publications—Abner Dean invented a genre all his own: One might call it the Existential Gag Cartoon. He used the elegant draftsmanship and single-panel format of the standard cartoons of the day, but turned them to a deeper, stranger purpose. With an inimitable mixture of wit, earnestness, and enigmatic surrealism, Dean uses this most ephemeral of forms to explore the deepest mysteries of human existence. What Am I Doing Here?, Dean’s second book and perhaps his best, depicts a world at once alien and familiar, in which everyone is naked but acts like they’re clothed—a world of club-wielding commuters and byzantine inventions, secret fears and perverse satisfactions. Through it all strolls (or crawls, or floats, or stumbles) Dean’s unclad Everyman, searching for love, happiness, and the answers to life’s biggest questions. This NYRC edition is a jacketed hardcover with extra-thick paper, and features brand-new, restored scans of the original artwork throughout.

Book Description
Hi there, person judging this book by the cover. (Are there other ways to buy a book?) Since it caught your eye, maybe you have a nagging sense that you're supposed to be doing more with your life-but no idea how to figure it out, since you live in an overwhelming world.I had that problem, too, and did all the wrong things to fix it. Then, I learned what people regret most when they die, and studied what the best thinkers of humanity have said about how to not waste your brief blip on Earth.Turns out, there are only 7 questions that matter in life-but most of us never ask them, and live far beneath our potential as a result.If you read this book and answer these 7 questions for yourself, you'll find purpose, develop confidence, expand your income (maybe quadruple it, like I did), and enjoy countless other benefits. If you do this and end up on your death bed with regrets in 80 years, I'll personally return your money.

Who Do You Say I Am?
Author: Joanne Grenfell
Publisher: Canterbury Press
ISBN: 1786225700
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 70
Book Description
Poetry, prayers, art and scripture meditations come together to create a reflective guide for personal and corporate devotion on the events at the heart of the Christian story from a contemporary, urban perspective. Focusing the death and resurrection of Christ, this is suitable for year-round use as an alternative form of the Stations of the Cross, but also with a special significance for Holy Week and Easter. Arranged in 14 sections, reflections by Joanne Grenfell and sonnets by Adam Atkinson explore discipleship in today’s world, touching on contemporary themes such as identity, truth telling, violence, abuse, racism, and belonging in relation to being a follower of Jesus. Each is powerfully illustrated with original paintings by artist Ali Mulroy. The prayers are written in the first person as a devotional response to all that has gone before and each opens with a line from a fresh rendering of the Lenten Prose. The book springs from a series of talks given at St Paul’s Cathedral in Holy Week 2023.

Just How Dumb Do You Think I Am?
Author: Samuel Goodwin
Publisher: Xulon Press
ISBN: 1604776730
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
Just How Dumb Do You Think I Am! Makes you ask yourself this question; "When scientists and scholars are trying to push their theories and ideas off on you?" This book contains some of the Lords answers to them. With cross references in the Bible, that prove out the validity of the word of God and its references to the everyday Life we live and about prophesies coming to pass and about creation verses evolution. It tells some of the problems I have encountered and some of the people around me. It dispels evolution and what a lot of scientists are saying about the big bang theory. It tells about a vision the Lord gave me, about Spiritual dreams that I had; these things only God could know about. God brought me back to life six times! He also inspired me to write this book. You will not be disappointed! Samuel H. Goodwin was born in 1942 in Aztec, New Mexico. In the early sixties he served his country in the Armed Forces, stationed in South Korea and Fort Polk, Louisiana. As a born again Christian Mr. Goodwin worked as a Union Industrial Asbestos Insulator on electric generating powerhouses across the United States, spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ to his fellow employees, as he felt guided by the Lord. Many times he has felt the protection and guidance of Christ in his travels. Today Mr. Goodwin resides with his wife on his farm in Oklahoma and is a faithful member and Deacon of his local Christian church.

When I Am Playing with My Cat, How Do I Know That She Is Not Playing with Me?
Author: Saul Frampton
Publisher: Vintage
ISBN: 0307278654
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
A celebration of Montaigne, the most enjoyable and yet profound of all Renaissance writers. In the year 1570, at the age of thirty-seven, Michel de Montaigne gave up his job as a magistrate and retired to his château to brood on the deaths of his best friend, his father, his brother, and his firstborn child. But finding his mind agitated, rather than settled, by idleness, Montaigne began to write, giving birth to the Essays—a series of reflections on life in all its profundity and triviality. And, gradually, over the course of his writing, Montaigne turned from a philosophy of death to a philosophy of life, finding consolation in the most unlikely places—the touch of a hand, the smell of his doublet, the flavor of his wine, and the playfulness of his cat.
