Book Description
From legendary character actor Stephen Tobolowsky, comes a collection of memoiristic pieces about life, love, acting, and adventure, told with a beguiling voice and an uncommon talent for storytelling. The Dangerous Animals Club by Stephen Tobolowsky is a series of stories that form a non-linear autobiography. Each story stands on its own, and yet there are larger interconnecting narratives that weave together from the book's beginning to end. The stories have heroics and embarrassments, riotous humor and pathos, characters that range from Bubbles the Pigmy Hippo to Stephen's unforgettable mother, and scenes that include coke-fueled parties, Hollywood sets, French trains, and hospital rooms. Told in a vivid, honest, and wondrous voice, Tobolowsky manages to render the majestic out of the seemingly mundane, profundity from the patently absurd, and grace from tragedy. This book marks the debut of a massively talented storyteller.

Book Description
Here is the story of a 5,000,000-step journey of faith and determination! Beyond My Limits is not only the story of Charles Anderson's mission to section-hike the entire Appalachian Trail from Springer Mountain, Georgia, to Mount Katahdin, Maine, but also to share Christ with his fellow hikers in hostels, shelters, on the trail, or wherever he found them. As he touched others' lives along the way with a message of hope and salvation, a personal inner journey took place. Trusting, obeying, believing, and worshiping God in the beauty and challenges of the wilderness rewarded him with moments of astounding joy and a deepened relationship with his Creator. The overriding message of our culture is to take the easy road, stay within our comfort zones, and avoid risk. But God calls Christians to venture by faith beyond comfort and ease so that they can experience the amazing purposes God has for their lives. This exciting account of the author's epic 2,160-mile journey of determination and faith will introduce readers to a world of adventure on the Appalachian Trail. It will inspire them to take up that challenging mission to which God is calling them -- "beyond their limits." - Publisher.

Adventures in the Spirit

Author: Philip Clayton
Publisher: Fortress Press
ISBN: 1451416040
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 322

Book Description
In Adventures in the Spirit, respected and influential theologian Philip Clayton argues that two major intellectual movements of our day-panentheism and emergence-are converging and that together they offer exciting new vistas for theological reflection. On the one hand, over the last decades many theologians have been re-conceiving the God-world relation panentheistically, affirming a radical indwelling of God within the world and the world within God. On the other hand, scientists have begun to abandon the reductionist ideology that characterized much of the modern period, with a new emphasis on emergence. Their study of how new, novel structures and entities arise throughout the evolutionary process yields a much more open-ended, holistic vision of reality, Clayton argues.

Languages : en
Pages : 324

Book Description
This volume contains George Bernard Shaw's collection of short stories entitled "The Black Girl in Search of God, and Some Lesser Tales". It was first published in 1934. "The Black Girl In Search Of God" is a short story that follows a young girl who is newly converted to Christianity - and who embarks on a literal search for God. On her way, she comes into contact with a number of religious figures, each trying to convert her to their own faiths. This wonderfully sardonic allegory highlights Shaw's unorthodox ideas on faith and race, and was highly controversial when first published. George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950) was an Irish playwright who co-founded of the London School of Economics. Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.
