In 2020, the world groped and grappled with the global pandemic brought about by COVID-19 and in this dark and perilous time, I resigned from my job at HSBC bank and was faced with the urgent concern to reflect about the brevity of life and confront my deepest and biggest Whys? May this book edify, build up, encourage and cheer you up in times of distress and know of an assurance that there is a God who marvels at your presence. Many among our young people and young professionals today struggle on their first resignation, their first heartbreak, experiencing for the first time the death of a family member, waiting for that one true love and guarding the mind and body while doing so, how to be made right with God after a sexual encounter, how to start a revival of purity that lasts for generations and lastly the struggle for intact mental balance amidst the presence and reality of auditory hallucination. From her own past struggles, Valerie Blue Dam-at Claveria shows how you can know the inner joy of trusting faithfully in God and surrendering all your earthly worries and hallucinations to the powerful presence of the Holy Spirit to heal and to protect. She shares that we can win over lust and attractions, fear, worry and depression by focusing on lifelong principles of faith, hope and love.

The Ranting of an Uneducated Reactionary presents us with a thought-provoking analysis on sundry topical and philosophical issues virtually guaranteed to rouse readers of any political stripe. This cerebrally stimulating collection of essays and utterly fascinating random thoughts will interest those with only a junior high school education to those with a PhD from Harvard University. But be forewarned, the conservatism of this book is more than just contentious; it’s outright iconoclastic and even subversive. And although the writings of Mr. Phillips are an absolute joy to read, it’s entirely possible that they could wreak psychological havoc on the intellectually dishonest. “Hyperbole?” say you. Maybe it is…but then again, maybe it isn’t.

The book urges you to make the most of your existence on earth without actually taking life too seriously. The author’s perspectives will surprise you, even shock you at times, and definitely leave you thinking for a long, long time. Abuisms, as the author calls his words of wisdom, question popular perceptions and burst several myths in the process of unearthing life’s vital truths. Are you ready to handle the naked truth, no holds barred?
Classic radical feminist statement from the woman who shot Andy Warhol “Life in this society being, at best, an utter bore and no aspect of society being at all relevant to women, there remains to civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females only to overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and destroy the male sex.” Outrageous and violent, SCUM Manifesto was widely lambasted when it first appeared in 1968. Valerie Solanas, the woman who shot Andy Warhol, self-published the book just before she became a notorious household name and was confined to a mental institution. But for all its vitriol, it is impossible to dismiss as the mere rantings of a lesbian lunatic. In fact, the work has proved prescient, not only as a radical feminist analysis light years ahead of its time—predicting artificial insemination, ATMs, a feminist uprising against underrepresentation in the arts—but also as a stunning testament to the rage of an abused and destitute woman. In this edition, philosopher Avital Ronell’s introduction reconsiders the evocative exuberance of this infamous text.
From the bestselling author of "A Natural History of the Senses" "comes a playful, rewarding jaunt through the brain's chemical realities and emotional intangibles" ("Kirkus Reviews").
