In an apocalyptic look at a future that never was; Rain takes you into the life of a select few survivors who live in a world where water is so scarce it no longer falls from the skies.

This man tries to maintain his grip of reality and bring back life to a world that has been turned into a vision of carnage when all others have accepted it as hell. Can he really bring back the rain, or is he truly just accepting his inevitable death as he leads his small group north? Join the last days of his long struggle; through love, death, bullets and fire.

Am I The One You Are Looking For?

Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
It was in those days when year after year everything turned to mud. One day in a depressed state of mind, I gave up. If there is a God, would he help me? Time passed by. Months turned into one long day. Nothing changed. Then one day I called in sick, stayed home, and laid down. I fell asleep and a vision appeared. I was in a dark room, sitting in a wooden chair facing a closed door. Then a light shown under the door. A fear came over me. Someone was on the other side of that door. The door opened slowly and a warm bright light flooded the room. A man dressed in a white robe stepped forward stood in the doorway and asked me, "Am I the One You Are Looking For?" I fell to my knees and crying, I said "Yes". The last thing I saw was a small little boy holding hands with this man as they walked up the dirt path. That was me and He was the Christ, the Son of the Living God. In that moment I decided to leave what the world calls society and entered into a world of spirituality that only those who enter it can understand. I pray, you the reader, may someday walk the one and only path that leads you into the world of spirituality and leads you out of the darkness of today's society and addictions. God bless you and may the Lord have mercy on you.James L. Crawford, Author

Hard Rain
Author: Alessandro Portelli
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231556233
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 189
Book Description
Bob Dylan’s iconic 1962 song “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall” stands at the crossroads of musical and literary traditions. A visionary warning of impending apocalypse, it sets symbolist imagery within a structure that recalls a centuries-old form. Written at the height of the 1960s folk music revival amid the ferment of political activism, the song strongly resembles—and at the same time reimagines—a traditional European ballad sung from Scotland to Italy, known in the English-speaking world as “Lord Randal.” Alessandro Portelli explores the power and resonance of “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall,” considering the meanings of history and memory in folk cultures and in Dylan’s work. He examines how the ballad tradition to which “Lord Randal” belongs shaped Dylan’s song and how Dylan drew on oral culture to depict the fears and crises of his own era. Portelli recasts the song as an encounter between Dylan’s despairing vision, which questions the meaning and direction of history, and the message of resilience and hope for survival despite history’s nightmares found in oral traditions. A wide-ranging work of oral history, Hard Rain weaves together interviews from places as varied as Italy, England, and India with Portelli’s autobiographical reflections and critical analysis, speaking to the enduring appeal of Dylan’s music. By exploring the motley traditions that shaped Dylan’s work, this book casts the distinctiveness and depth of his songwriting in a new light.
