Book excerpt: By the end of the nineteenth century, almost all the great writers, artists, and intellectuals had abandoned Christianity; many had abandoned belief in God altogether. This was in part the result of scientific discovery, particularly the work of Charles Darwin in The Origin of Species and the controversy that followed. But the doubt about religion had many sources. A. N. Wilson demonstrates in this synthesis of biography and intellectual history that the real destruction of religions belief had been achieved well before Darwin's momentous publication. Yet despite the fact that the church had essentially become an edifice empty of faith, it survived into our century because so few of the fascinating, tortured people Wilson portrays could face the brutal consequences of their own logic. Whether or not God was dead, they still needed to believe, hence the great spiritual angst of their culture which is now echoed in ours.--Publisher description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The blogger behind Confessions of a Funeral Director—what Time magazine called a "must read"—reflects on mortality and the powerful lessons death holds for every one of us in this compassionate and thoughtful spiritual memoir that combines the humor and insight of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes with the poignancy and brevity of When Breath Becomes Air. We are a people who deeply fear death. While humans are biologically wired to evade death for as long as possible, we have become too adept at hiding from it, vilifying it, and—when it can be avoided no longer—letting the professionals take over. Sixth-generation funeral director Caleb Wilde understands this reticence and fear. He had planned to get as far away from the family business as possible. He wanted to make a difference in the world, and how could he do that if all the people he worked with were . . . dead? Slowly, he discovered that caring for the deceased and their loved ones was making a difference—in other people’s lives to be sure, but it also seemed to be saving his own. A spirituality of death began to emerge as he observed: The family who lovingly dressed their deceased father for his burial The act of embalming a little girl that offered a gift back to her grieving family The nursing home that honored a woman’s life by standing in procession as her body was taken away The funeral that united a conflicted community Through stories like these, told with equal parts humor and poignancy, Wilde offers an intimate look into the business and a new perspective on living and dying

Book excerpt: In The Politics of God, Hugh Schonfield builds upon his controversial best-seller The Passover Plot to reveal the vision which had been driving him most of his life. In searching for the common roots of Judaism and Christianity, he uncovers Jesus the Jew and the Messiah for all people.Calling on a wide range of thinkers as well as his extensive historical and biblical research, he exposes Jesus the Messiah as the founder not of a religion but of a nation set apart to the service of Mankind.This renowned historian seeks an answer to the difficulties in discovering a solution in today's religions as well as the disillusionment with state politic's inability to find an answer to peace in the world, Hugh Schonfield uncovers an ancient idea which he believes to be the only possible solution to Humankind's dilemma - the Politics of God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Man's freedom--God's omnipotence: how can they be reconciled? That question is central to this penetrating study of political action and the prophetic function. Ellul's answer to that question, though based on events recorded in the Second Book of Kings, is immediately relevant to contemporary issues and to the church today. Emerging from these reflections is an eloquent testimony to the immense love of God--"which not only creates and saves, but which also in its incomprehensible humility wants to associate man with its work."

Book excerpt: A dazzling and darkly comic memoir about coming of age in a black funeral home in Baltimore Sheri Booker was only fifteen when she started working at Wylie Funeral Home in West Baltimore. She had no idea her summer job would become nine years of immersion into a hidden world. Reeling from the death of her beloved great aunt, Sheri found comfort in the funeral home and soon had the run of the place. With AIDS and gang violence threatening to wipe out a generation of black men, Wylie was never short on business. As families came together to bury one of their own, Booker was privy to their most intimate moments of grief and despair. But along with the sadness, Booker encountered moments of dark humor: brawls between mistresses and widows, and car crashes at McDonald’s with dead bodies in tow. While she never got over her terror of the embalming room, Booker learned to expect the unexpected and to never, ever cry. Nine Years Under offers readers an unbelievable glimpse into an industry in the backdrop of all our lives.

Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestseller! Washington D.C. might be loathed from every corner of the nation, yet these are fun and busy days at this nexus of big politics, big money, big media, and big vanity. There are no Democrats and Republicans anymore in the nation's capital, just millionaires. Through the eyes of Leibovich we discover how the funeral for a beloved newsman becomes the social event of the year; how political reporters are fetishized for their ability to get their names into the predawn e-mail sent out by the city's most powerful and puzzled-over journalist; how a disgraced Hill aide can overcome ignominy and maybe emerge with a more potent "brand" than many elected members of Congress. And how an administration bent on "changing Washington" can be sucked into the ways of This Town with the same ease with which Tea Party insurgents can, once elected, settle into it like a warm bath. Outrageous, fascinating, and very necessary, This Town is a must-read whether you're inside the highway which encircles DC - or just trying to get there.

Download or read book Radical Conversion written by Christopher M. Duncan and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radical Conversion utilizes both analytic and normative philosophic/theoretical frameworks to study the relationship between Christian-Catholic conceptualizations of politics, citizenship, faith, and religion as viewed through a quasi-theological lens. The work is situated in the context of the American liberal tradition and in conversation and debate with the public philosophy that attempts to sustain it and provide a rationale for its perpetuation. In a single sentence, the book’s thesis is that for America to fully realize its authentic and unique moral and political mission and secure it into the future, it will need to become both more Catholic and more catholic. Concordantly, that mission, properly understood, is nothing less than the recognition and protection of the idea of the sacredness of every individual human person and their right to flourish and realize the fullness of their particular vocation as a child of God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There’s a certain kind of lost a boy feels in this world without a father. Tim felt it. I felt it. And we realized our only way out would be together. In an openhearted memoir of faith on the fringe, Roger Thompson meditates on the life and premature death of his best friend and business partner, Tim Garrety, cofounder of Skate Street Ventura. Roger and Tim’s twenty-year friendship was forged in the surf and on the streets of 1980s California. Together they hazarded countless waves and every rite of passage—from guitars to girls to God—and influenced the lives of thousands of skateboarders, musicians, surfers, and otherwise disconnected youth in the process. With unrestrained honesty and a punk-rock soundtrack, My Best Friend’s Funeral is a memoir of friendship, doubt, surfing, and the complex relationships between fathers and sons. If life has ever left you feeling abandoned—or if you simply prefer a rock show to a sermon—My Best Friend’s Funeral is a memoir you won’t want to miss, and a confirmation that you are never alone.

Download or read book God's Funeral written by John Higgins and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-08-23 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You are an unlikely singularity. Death should not be seen as such a bad thing because at the very least you had a life. Just think of all of those other 250 million sperm cells that you had to race to that ovum, that is 250 million possible ghosts that you left in a vacuum of probability and who could be here now instead of you. Is that not more miraculous than turning water into wine? Too often it is argued that gods are responsible for the beauties we see in the world and that there is supernatural purpose to our existence. John Higgins rebuts those arguments with a stern and impassioned 'no' arguing that chance, luck and coincidence are not supernatural and that religion is a man made, self imposed bondage. That superstitious supernaturalism is a money making scam to prey on our inherent vulnerabilities after we lose loved ones and also understandable fears as we approach death. He asserts that morality is an altruistic human instinct not given to us by a god. John Higgins later discusses the origins and necessities of religion, arguing that there was no Jesus and his attributes were recycled form other previous pagan deities. The three big religions Judaism, Islam and Christianity are the same Abrahamic religion twisted and interpreted to serve the selfish mass controlling needs of the few. John argues that religion is just a business and its followers are their silent enslaved shareholders who are fear mongered into handing over their money to tax exempt companies acting under a guise of charity. John Higgins further argues that the big bang theory cannot be capitalised upon by religious groups. Existence has always been because of the Big Bounce Theory there is no beginning and there is no end, the universe just expands and contracts continually over trillions of quadrillions of years. John further pulls apart the multinational conglomerate known as the Vatican. He illustrates that it is a tax exempt business that has been pulling the wool over humanity's eyes for centuries. Later the author explains the dangers of apocalypse beliefs and pulls apart the 2012 Apocalypse, the Illuminati, the Book of Revelation, the New World Order and other end time conspiracies and shows how they are just apocalyptic conspiracy theories created by apocalyptic Christian and religious groups proclaiming the coming of the antichrist and can all find their genesis in the Book of Revelation. Which was in itself, not an apocolypse prophecy. John later asserts that religions desire the end of the world as an attempt to scare people into submission. The author further shows that all apocalypse beliefs are just misinterpretations of ancient stories. The foremost being the rapture doctrine which was invented in 1830 and all modern Christian apocalypse theories are drawn from that unfounded recently invented idea. The Book of Revelation was not a cryptic apocalypse prophecy but a cryptic attack on the Roman Empire by John of Patmos. John Higgins further asserts that creationism is an absurdity. It is a delusion of indoctrinated people too afraid to accept the facts of reality. Evolution is true and creationism is wrong. John later shows that we are the lucky ones because we will to die, where the ghosts of probability never had that chance. John Higgins argues that our desire to find the answers to life's mysteries should first look at the facts of what is being promoted by agenda driven ideologies. That there is magic, mystery and adventure all around the natural world and there should be no necessity to fall upon supernaturalism to lighten up our lives. God's Funeral: The Evolution of Reality is an uplifting book which coldly discusses some of the more contentious beliefs surrounding supernatural ideas, pseudoscience, cultural memes, irrational conspiracy theories, and the genuine ignored immorality of all religions. Reality and the truth are not subjective, the glow worms in the trees are not fairies...
