California: Hay House, 1996. 1st Edition 4th Printing. Hardcover. As New/New. Barbara Lambase DJ art. CONDITION: INSCRIBED by Author. UNREAD, but not quite perfect, 1996 Hay House small hardcover (blue boards with gold foil title on spine) & dust jacket, first edition, 4th printing. Being inscribed makes this book automatically "like new." However, there are a few pale fox flecks on the fore edges. Pale but there. Interior perfect. Barbara Lambase dust jacket art. CONTENT: This little parable, a kind of Jonathan Livingston Seagull (1970) for angels, traces the exploits of George, an angel in disguise, from his days in the Heavenly Court to his "birth" and life in the body of a prematurely born infant to his "death" and return to full angelhood. For the short time George occupies the infant's suffering body, he delivers his message of God's great and all-embracing love to everyone he encounters in the neonatal nursery.

History Press, 2013. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Soft cover. As New/No Jacket Issued. B&W photos, maps, and color photo section. CONDITION: UNREAD, but not quite perfect, 2013 History Press trade paperback, first edition. Problem: top back cover panel corner shows a crease which also creased 4 page corners as well. Not horrible, but there. The book is loaded with B&W pictures, maps, charts and there is also a nice color photo section.

Chapter decorations only. CONTENT: "A must-read for anyone who longs for the day when the dividing lines of race, class, and bigotry are finally overcome by the greater forces of love, forgiveness, and brotherhood."-Rev. Samuel Rodriguez Racial tensions had long simmered in Benton Harbor, a small city on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan, before the day a white narcotics officer-more focused on arrests than justice-set his sights on an innocent black man. But when officer Andrew Collins framed Jameel McGee for possession of crack cocaine, the surprising result was not a race riot but a transformative journey for both men. Falsely convicted, McGee spent three years in federal prison. Collins also went to prison a few years later for falsifying police reports. While behind bars, the faith of both men… Read More

Viking Compass, 2004. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/As New. B&W Map. CONDITION: UNREAD, but not quite perfect, 2004 Viking Compass hardcover (black boards) and dust jacket, first edition, first printing. Problem: blank bookplate top loose end page - probably covering a bookstore stamp. Dust jacket has tiny (really!) edge wear. Interior clean & tight. B&W map of ancient world under Constantine and Julian. CONTENT: This book may generate heat as well as light, for it maintains that sectarian conflicts and religious wars are inevitable results of monotheism. If there is one god and one good, as monotheism claims, then differing religions must be devilish or evil. Polytheism, however, being essentially pluralistic, grants that god--or goddess--can take different forms; hence the deity worshiped by a neighbor could be as powerful as one's own. Not that polytheism has no blood on its hands; there have been persecutions led by polytheistic people. But most early… Read More

Problems: blank book plate inside front cover and tiny edge wear bottom DJ edge at spine. Wonderful color illustrations and photos.

Harcourt Brace, 1993. 1st American Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/New. B&W art repros throughout. CONDITION: UNREAD, but not quite perfect, 1993 Harcourt Brace hardcover (decorated boards) & dust jacket, first American edition, first printing. Illustrated throughout with B&W art reproductions. Problem: gift inscription loose end page. CONTENT: Mary Magdalen has always been a predominant and fascinating figure for Christianity. But who was she really? The Gnostics hailed her as the companion of the Savior and the woman He loved most. Early Christian writers called her the Bride of Christ and the apostle to the apostles. But for centuries her most durable image has been that of a prostitute who repented and devoted her life to Jesus - an image that both shaped and to some extent reflected the Church's attitude toward women. Yet this figure does not appear in the New Testament. All that we know of the real Magdalen are the four facts noted in the Gospels: she was one of Christ's followers; she… Read More

CONTENT: When the Gospel of Judas was published by the National Geographic Society in April 2006, it received extraordinary media attention and was immediately heralded as a major biblical discovery that rocked the world of scholars and laypeople alike. Elaine Pagels and Karen King are the first to reflect on this newfound text and its ramifications for telling the story of early Christianity. In Reading Judas, the two celebrated scholars illustrate how the newly discovered text provides a window onto understanding how Jesus followers understood his death, why Judas betrayed Jesus, and why God allowed it.

Together they take on the… Read More

Hutchi. 1st Edition Printing Unknown. Hardcover. New/As New. Ivan Chermayeff. CONDITION: UNREAD, tight and crisp, 1980 Hutchinson & Co (UK) large hardcover (decorated gray boards) & dust jacket (in mylar cover if I can find one large enough), first edition. Powerful and bold colored pages with the text on the opposing page - white font on black pages. Problem: due to it's size and shelving it, there is some light edge wear to the DJ top edge. CONTENT: This book is an experiment in making music for the eye rather than the ear. Ivan Chermayeff made the ilustrations first, without saying what they meant. Then Kurt Vonnegut wrote words to fit the images he saw. This is a song then, whose music came first. A simple hymn for printing press. Others may find it entertaining to put their own words to Chermayeff's tune. A most unusual book. This is a real departure from what we usually expect from the late Mr. Vonnegut. It is a children's book in which KV reveals his own version of… Read More

You don't have to be a skeptic to have a grocery list of questions about the formation of the Bible, such as: Who wrote these documents and when?; How were these ancient writings transmitted through the ages?; As scribes made copies of copies, didn't they make mistakes that caused the ancient writings to be changed and corrupted?;… Read More
