Book excerpt: Pastor Iris, shown here with husband Steve, is a former foodservice executive, author, award-winning television commercial writer and was listed in the 1977-78 edition of Who’s Who of American Women. After retirement from business, she attended Harvard Divinity School, St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Seminary and graduated from Gettysburg Lutheran Seminary. As a minister of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, she served congregations in Florida’s Palm Beach and Martin Counties and is now retired. Getting to Know God is the homespun, down-to-earth story of her lifelong struggles to know God. An entertaining yet helpful book for anyone who has outgrown a childhood image of God in the face of today’s scientific and technological world, it’s a blend of simple faith and a view of God from a contemporary, life-inspired perspective. And just when you think the story is over, she zaps you with a magical ending that defies rational explanation. Her Selected Sermons at the end of the story reflect that same blend of reason and Spirit.

Book excerpt: "Stunning . . . . This is an immensely courageous story that will break your heart, leave you in tears, and, finally, offer hope and redemption. Brava, Kelly Sundberg." —Rene Denfeld, author of The Child Finder In this brave and beautiful memoir, written with the raw honesty and devastating openness of The Glass Castle and The Liar’s Club, a woman chronicles how her marriage devolved from a love story into a shocking tale of abuse—examining the tenderness and violence entwined in the relationship, why she endured years of physical and emotional pain, and how she eventually broke free. "You made me hit you in the face," he said mournfully. "Now everyone is going to know." "I know," I said. "I’m sorry." Kelly Sundberg’s husband, Caleb, was a funny, warm, supportive man and a wonderful father to their little boy Reed. He was also vengeful and violent. But Sundberg did not know that when she fell in love, and for years told herself he would get better. It took a decade for her to ultimately accept that the partnership she desired could not work with such a broken man. In her remarkable book, she offers an intimate record of the joys and terrors that accompanied her long, difficult awakening, and presents a haunting, heartbreaking glimpse into why women remain too long in dangerous relationships. To understand herself and her violent marriage, Sundberg looks to her childhood in Salmon, a small, isolated mountain community known as the most redneck town in Idaho. Like her marriage, Salmon is a place of deep contradictions, where Mormon ranchers and hippie back-to-landers live side-by-side; a place of magical beauty riven by secret brutality; a place that takes pride in its individualism and rugged self-sufficiency, yet is beholden to church and communal standards at all costs. Mesmerizing and poetic, Goodbye, Sweet Girl is a harrowing, cautionary, and ultimately redemptive tale that brilliantly illuminates one woman’s transformation as she gradually rejects the painful reality of her violent life at the hands of the man who is supposed to cherish her, begins to accept responsibility for herself, and learns to believe that she deserves better.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We spend every passing day yearning for our moment, waiting for our turn. We cheer on others when they shine their brightest. We pace back and forth as we anxiously anticipate our breakthrough to arrive, but only to find out that the path is not straight; there are bumps and diversions that can only be rectified by time. This is a collection of poems about the wait, the hurt, and eventually, the alignment of our fates. The game of life is all about patience and hope. These poems are for all of us who have spent sleepless nights and lived mundane routine days - knowing that when the clock is finally in our favor, everything will finally make sense. There is a time for waiting. There is a time for hurting. But after every detours and delays, destiny persists and everything will align. All we have to do is wait.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Fistful of Words became a work in progress after Sept 11. I was not born of a hardship and grew up with little issues that gave me this poetic voice. This was my only way to express what ideas and thinking process I was blessed with could be shown to the world. This book is just a compile of writings I have made from my youth to now. The interpretations of the writings come from the mind of the reader. I can only explain between the lines there are sexual references, political views, world view, religious phrases, life events, depression, hatred, rage and love in the text. But, these words are intended for the reader to capture the meaning after the reading. If no true meaning comes from one writing just keep reading to find the one that inspires or touches you when reading. This has been a lifelong dream to be able to create a book of how a mind can work when given the opportunity to express words in code. The code is simple to break if you just read and do not try to translate by each word. The meaning and purpose is for the reader to bring meaning from the text on a personal note. Do not be blind when reading the language of the words; create your own diction meaning. Let the writings bring meaning and understand it is only words, not fact.

Book excerpt: Total Propaganda moves the study of propaganda out of the exclusive realm of world politics into the more inclusive study of popular culture, media, and politics. All the participatory functioning elements of the society are aspects of membership in the popular culture. Thus, the values of popular music, media, politics, debates over social issues, and even international trade become everyday propaganda to which everyone may relate. To emphasize the necessity for new thinking about propaganda, Edelstein creates the concepts of the new propaganda and the old, and he devises a language of "uninyms" to convey their meanings more quickly. "Oldprop" is characteristic of mass cultures and utilizes totalitarian methods of conflict, hegemony, minimization, demonization, and exclusiveness to achieve its goals. By contrast, "newprop" is created by members of the popular culture to allow them to engage in accomodation, enhance the individual, and promote inclusiveness. Shifts in the old and the new propaganda are tracked across social issues such as race, religion, sexuality, gender, gun control, and the environment, as well as in fashion, politics, advertising, sports, media, and politics. Central to the concept of total propaganda is that it is not simply additive; it is the product of new energies that are produced by the fusing of propaganda in such related forums as music, art, advertising, sports and politics. It is these synergies, and their production of new energies, that make total propaganda greater than the sum of its parts. Edelstein concludes that the most important distinction that should be drawn between mass culture and popular culture is its text; i.e., its propaganda. In a popular culture, everyone creates and consumes propaganda; in a mass culture almost everyone consumes it but only a few create it. This formulation offers new ways to discuss power and ideology in media texts. As an example, where once the least informed and the least educated were the most subject to propaganda, now the most informed and most educated often are the first to create propaganda and the first to consume it.

We arrive with our resources to Learn how to be a human being, but we get distracted and forget about it, until one day the question arises: why did we come here? Learning isn’t easy, since most of it comes with suffering. But little by little, we began to wake up a little bit... And another little bit... And we continue to ask ourselves questions that motivate us to continue learning. We find ourselves in situations in which, at first, we feel as if someone is punishing us and in others that make us love life. Nevertheless, all of them are necessary to move forward and to understand that, in the end, there are superior forces that make things reach their places. Through the fictional character of Karen, this novel tells several stories of a woman who tries to learn from her own circumstances and those of others.

Book excerpt: The collected essays of the cofounder of the New Narrative movement, on theory, identity, poetry, and muses from Kathy Acker to Georges Bataille. I read and wrote to invoke what seemed impossible—relation itself—in order to take part in a world that ceaselessly makes itself up, to “wake up” to the world, to recognize the world, to be convinced that the world exists, to take revenge on the world for not existing. —from Communal Nude Since cofounding San Francisco's influential New Narrative circle in 1979, Robert Glück has been one of America's finest prose stylists of innovative fiction, bending narrative into the service of autobiography, politics, and gay writing. This collection brings together for the first time Glück's nonfiction, a revelatory body of work that anchors his writing practice. Glück's essays explore the ways that storytelling and selfhood are mutually embedded cultural forms, cohering a fractured social reality where generating narrative means generating identity means generating community. “I'd laugh at (make art from) any version of self,” Glück writes, “I write about these forms—that are myself—to dispense with them, to demonstrate how they disintegrate before the world, the body.” For any body—or text—to know itself, it must first see how it sees the world, and understand itself as writing. Glück's essays affirm this radical narratorial precept in rich spirals of reading, self-reflection, anecdote, escapade, and “metatext.” These texts span the author's career and his creative affinities—from lost manifestos theorizing the poetics of New Narrative; to encomia for literary and philosophic muses (Kathy Acker, the HOW(ever) poets, Frank O'Hara, Georges Bataille, and others); to narrative journalism, book reviews, criticism, and public talks. Many of the texts are culled from obscure little magazines and ephemeral online sources; others have never been published. As lucid as story, as lush as theory, and as irresistible as gossip, Glück's essays are the quintessence of New Narrative theory in practice.

When terrorists come to town, Batou straps on a battery of high-tech weaponry and goes to work. But even a hulking cyborg like Batou has a sensitive side. After all these years, he still mourns the loss of his partner, Maj. Motoko Kusanagi. And now his beloved basset hound Gabriel has mysteriously disappeared. To complicate matters even further, he’s having reoccurring dreams about a son he never had. Combating violent insurgents is one thing; getting in touch with your feelings is totally different. Suddenly, Batou must grapple with the thing he understands the least: his own humanity! Expanding on the concepts explored in the movie, Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, Masaki Yamada’s novel also stands as a wholly original piece of work not tethered directly to any Ghost in the Shell continuity. Say hello to After The Long Goodbye—highly recommended for readers looking for science fiction with a soul.

Book excerpt: In a memoir penned with flair, fire, and humor, Beaulieu invites us to join her in her evolutionary transformation as she liberates her personal consciousness from the choke hold of ego. She is aided in her flight to freedom by mind-expanding substances, international travel, and remarkable teachers including Ramana Maharishi, Adi Yogi Shiva, modern-day mystic Byron Katie, the elusive Jed McKenna, and others. Beaulieu shows us how she broke through the darkness of her own mind’s making to reach the light of pure consciousness. With irrepressible joy, she shares the wonder and magic of her new and fulfilling, yet simple and ordinary life. Fueled by existential angst, Kamla embarked on an unforgettable journey of self-discovery to determine the meaning of spiritual freedom and enlightenment in today’s world. Her unwavering, ever-deepening focus is on being part of the human equation—that which is beyond all distinctions of race, religion, gender, color, caste, and what is perfect and imperfect.
