DOWNLOAD EBOOKTHREE PLAYS TRANSLATED BY WAYNE AMBLER AND THOMAS L. PANGLE In these three raucous comedies, mortals outwit and even replace Zeus and other Olympian deities of the Greek Pantheon. As Aristophanes provokes laughter at the foibles of gods and men, he arouses wonder at our human need for the divine. * * * “The three comic heroes in the plays included here raise the questions of whether there are gods, who they might be, how powerful they are, and how they might be changed or eliminated. Although the precise form of such questions changes from age to age, these are questions that are inseparable from political life; and they certainly are powerfully present in our own day . . . great theorists and architects of the modern liberal state designed its contours partly with an eye on the goal of diminishing the role of religion in the public square. Not unlike our three comic heroes, they wanted to reduce dependence on “Zeus” and his priests. In his place, and like our three heroes, they sought peace, wealth, and human rulers liberated from exaggerated piety. And nowadays the so-called New Atheists are pressing the case that it is high time for a final defeat and elimination of the powers of darkness that, in their view, have cost us so much blood and treasure . . . Aristophanes was not a modern liberal; still less would he agree with the New Atheists’ advocacy of universal public atheism. He does, however, put dissatisfaction with the gods at the center of the three plays included here, does bestow victories on the human critics of those gods, and does invite us to think with him about the justice of their causes, the tactics behind their victories, and the limits of their successes.” – From the Introduction

With the help of her guide Yashir, she follows her dream to spread peace on earth. This is a fable about the healing and raising the human consciousness on earth for peace on our planet.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Peace Bird was written to encourage those who have found themselves in a situation where their world as they know it has been taken away and replaced with hurt, a deep feeling of loss, and a sense of not knowing which way to turn. The stories document a journey of a growing intimacy with God and discovery that there can be a life of abundant peace and joy after a life-changing disappointment when we surrender our will to God and allow him to be our shepherd. For those who have been fortunate enough to not have experienced deep pain and loss, it is hoped that the pages will help you to strengthen your faith or be used as a tool to help others. The pages of this book represent a collection of inspirational stories, some which are considered more than coincidental events that document the development of personal faith and relationship with God. These were experienced during emotionally painful and life-changing events. The bird itself came as a message or symbol of hope and peace one evening after crying out to God. It now resides in a kitchen windowsill alongside a stone engraved with the words "Begin Again."
