Pick A God Any God
$21.23
It is peculiar we Americans take the notion of God so lightly. And many who do have a real interest are shedding the skin of traditional Christianity, hoping to reinvest in a more tolerant “higher power.” But the religious world is littered with contradictions, absurdities, and mediocrity, and a lifetime of God-swapping has left a lot of hearts full of emptiness. Pick a God, any God encourages the reader to bear in mind that: No religion can be wholly understood by following its followers. The “all ideas about God are right” approach is not only implausible, it’s impossible. The truth can sometimes feel “foreign” because it is not manmade. If half of the world’s population denies the existence of God, that doesnt make Him go away. Just the same, no amount of wishing will make Him real. We tend to dilute the majesty of God in our quest to fully understand Him. Because we treat our opinions as though they replace truth, our inquiry into real truth becomes sedated. We must refuse to be ignorant. If we choose to customize God, He will become whatever we decide. We have then become His creator. He will house our limitations, our inconsistencies, and our mortality. Our God will be us. So, just about the time we may need him the most, he’ll be dead. www.pickagod.com

Abolition Of Man
$17.99In this graceful work, C. S. Lewis reflects on society and nature and the challenges of how best to educate our children. He eloquently argues that we need as a society to underpin reading and writing with lessons on morality and in the process both educate and re-educate ourselves. In the words of Walter Hooper, “If someone were to come to me and say that, with the exception of the Bible, everyone on earth was going to be required to read one and the same book, and then ask what it should be, I would with no hesitation say The Abolition of Man. It is the most perfectly reasoned defense of Natural Law (Morality) I have ever seen, or believe to exist. If any book is able to save us from future excesses of folly and evil, it is this book.” This beautiful paperback edition is sure to attract new readers to this classic book.
