As a time and interdimensional traveler, Harry Lovely has experienced thousands of strange and exciting events throughout his journey, but nothing prepared him for his current leap into the body of a developing fetus on the planet earth. As he matures, he learns the true nature of his mission and discovers his own purpose for life. As his growth and learning becomes entwined with the ever-present battle of good versus evil, Harry is to play a critical role in the fate of the universe. The world he is born into has become polarized, and the existence of values he had thought were permanent had begun to fade. Who would have thought that concepts like justice, liberty, and even the value of life itself would be replaced by envy, naivete, and a socialized utopia? Will the example of Harry, the final prophet, bring society safely through the pivotal point in time, or will it take the assistance of a mysterious stranger watching from afar to save the day? And if there is a successful outcome, what will be the cost of the sacrifice that is necessary to reach a positive conclusion? What Is the Point of It All will challenge the reader to question one’s own basic values if it is read with an open mind and willingness to see all that exists from another point of view. The author does not claim to have all the answers but invites you to join him on his journey to find them.

The atheism of modern thought is based on irrational assumptions...First-century Jews expected a suffering Messiah...Jesus knew it was he...Jesus’ birth and resurrection in history. The point of the parables...The point of Christology...The historical grounds for scepticism about Christian claims concerning Jesus Christ rely on misreadings of the Bible. In a series of original essays, the author issues a formidable challenge to many of the presuppositions of modern theology.

I know I have to answer the call that God has given me, but many times I ask myself, “What's the point!” I contemplate the timing. Relationships with natural and spiritual parents make me wonder if I am worth it. In trying to reach completion with things in life, I have often felt that God has taken His hand off me. As I move past personal limitations, I am able to see the Sovereignty of God; and that being grateful for death and pain is an appropriate spiritual response. In the end and through the strength of God, I will live without the bags that were weighing me down.

The Point of It All is a collection of poems grounded in the writer's experiential and vicarious experiences. To the poet, poems are designed to raise, respond and react to points that reach deep into the soul, because therein lies a person's innermost thoughts, emotions and instincts about right and wrong. This poet's vision reflects how deeply she feels about ideas and issues that force humans to question themselves and their behavior. Some of the poems although not intended to be didactic serve as reminders for everyone to be forever conscious of the embedded messages in society that might threaten their values and change their points of emphasis. She offers that it is imperative that everyone must use their voices, poetic or otherwise to forever remain true to their moral vision.

‘To thine own self be true!’ These words light up the imagination of previously quiet student Stella Tranter in conformist mid-1970s London. Throwing herself into a study of the arts and philosophy, she embarks on a quest to find out exactly what they mean. She reads Nietzsche. She gets into punk. She falls in love. None of these works out quite as expected, however… Maybe what she really wants is just to be grown-up… She settles down in pleasant, tree-lined Dulwich with unimaginative but well-meaning Bobby. Is this really her? Her discontent begins to grow. The opportunity for escape presents itself. It proves irresistible – but costly. Freedom, she discovers, can be lonely and terrifying. It can destroy as well as liberate. This is a snappily written, witty but also serious 40,000 word novella about culture, ideas, love, music (punk and Mozart), making choices, and the fact that authenticity is not an easy option. "Clever, intriguing," said prizewinning novelist Dame Beryl Bainbridge about this book, adding, "Stella is an excellent voice."

From America’s preeminent columnist, named by the Financial Times the most influential commentator in the nation, a must-have collection of Charles Krauthammer’s essential, timeless writings. A brilliant stylist known for an uncompromising honesty that challenged conventional wisdom at every turn, Krauthammer dazzled readers for decades with his keen insight into politics and government. His weekly column was a must-read in Washington and across the country. Don’t miss the best of Krauthammer’s intelligence, erudition and wit collected in one volume. Readers will find here not only the country’s leading conservative thinker offering a pas­sionate defense of limited government, but also a highly independent mind whose views—on feminism, evolution and the death penalty, for example—defy ideological convention. Things That Matter also features several of Krautham­mer’s major path-breaking essays—on bioeth­ics, on Jewish destiny and on America’s role as the world’s superpower—that have pro­foundly influenced the nation’s thoughts and policies. And finally, the collection presents a trove of always penetrating, often bemused re­flections on everything from border collies to Halley’s Comet, from Woody Allen to Win­ston Churchill, from the punishing pleasures of speed chess to the elegance of the perfectly thrown outfield assist. With a special, highly autobiographical in­troduction in which Krauthammer reflects on the events that shaped his career and political philosophy, this indispensible chronicle takes the reader on a fascinating journey through the fashions and follies, the tragedies and triumphs, of the last three decades of American life.

In this engaging and provocative book, Lee Eisenberg, bestselling author of The Number, dares to tackle nothing less than what it takes to find enduring meaning and purpose in life. He explains how from a young age, each of us is compelled to take memories of events and relationships and shape them into a one-of-a-kind personal narrative. In addition to sharing his own pivotal memories (some of them moving, some just a shade embarrassing), Eisenberg presents striking research culled from psychology and neuroscience, and draws on insights from a pantheon of thinkers and great writers-Tolstoy, Freud, Joseph Campbell, Virginia Woolf, among others. We also hear from men and women of all ages who are wrestling with the demands of work and family, ever in search of fulfillment and satisfaction. It all adds up to a fascinating story, delightfully told, one that goes straight to the heart of how we explain ourselves to ourselves-in other words, who we are and why.
