"Have you seen such men--peculiar, raving, foam-mouthed, and straitjacketed--throwing themselves mercilessly at white padded walls . . . ?" Such men are said to be insane. But there is more to insanity than the images depicted in film and planted in our minds by popular media. Insanity is a condition that affects us all. Unsoundness of mind disrupts our ability to think clearly and to form knowledge about the world. Our understanding is dangerously incomplete and our minds are corrupt. We are all insane. How then can we ever hope to know our world? Is it possible to form justified true beliefs about anything? What possibility, if any, do we have of escaping this condition of madness that keeps us from the light of knowledge? In Insanity, Jonah Haddad explores these very questions by introducing the main problems of the theory of knowledge and by offering a response to our madness--a response grounded in God, the ultimate Knower.

What is there is only a limited amount of sanity in the world and the real reason people go mad is because somebody has to? What if a mysterious tribe in the Amazon rainforest turn out to be the most boring people on earth? What if the afterlife is nothing more than a London suburb, where the dead get new flats, new jobs, and their own telephone directory? These are the sort of truths that emerge in this collection of stories by one of England's most gifted writers. In The Quantity Theory of Insanity, Will Self tips over the banal surfaces of everyday existence to uncover the hideous, the hilarious, and the bizarre. Psychiatry, anthropology, theology—and literature—will never be the same.

Christianity Without Insanity: For Optimal Mental/Emotional/Physical Health, by Boyd C. Purcell, Ph.D., is about love-based vs. fear-based Christianity [includes a chapter on other major religions]. This book, per the subtitle, is based on the truth of holistic health inherent in psychopathology which Dr. Purcell has taught at a university graduate college. Dr. Lewis Whaley, an oncologist, endorsed this author's previous book, Spiritual Terrorism, with this statement. "As a physician, I can validate Dr. Purcell's understanding of psychopathology. The anxiety which religion, or any other factor, generates has the potential to depress the human immune system, affect every organ, and impair bodily functions." The apostle John captured the essence of the dynamics of psychopathology in these comforting, encouraging, and inspiring words: "Beloved, I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers" (III John 2). No person's soul can prosper and, therefore, no one can be in optimal holistic health if one is living in fear of eternal torture in hell for oneself and/or loved ones. Do you know the symbolic meaning of the mixed metaphor, "salted with fire," of which few people have even heard? If not, you owe it to yourself to read this solidly Biblically-based book. One can believe in Christian Universalism (CU), not in spite of what The Holy Bible teaches, but because of exactly what The Holy Bible teaches about sin, salvation, and hell. Based on Biblical and historical facts, Jesus clearly taught CU—both implicitly and explicitly—just as surely as the grass is green, the sky is blue, God is in heaven, and Christ is Lord!

Most of us talk to ourselves, but do you ever hear a voice in your head that you know isn't yours? It's that small quiet spirit voice that guides, warns, protects, and inspires you to take action when you otherwise might not have. It's the guardian angel that warns you not to get on the airplane before it crashes. It's the spirit guide that whispers the name of an old friend you haven't talked to in years - just before the telephone rings and it's that same friend on the other line. Some would call it the voice of God, angels, fairies, spirit guides, your higher consciousness, intuition, or whatever else. There have always been reports of those fairy spirits that whisper to us telling us of ourselves and our future. Use whichever name you like to describe those little whispering spirits.

This is my First book, and I must say it has been a bit of an adventure. Sometimes I felt like Ulysses and other times I felt like Dante. I was privy to all manner of insights and secrets that I tried to capture over the better part of ten years.Although the journey really began for me in March 1990, when I had an experience, that left me shattered and broken, enlightened and reborn.I don't say this lightly or in jest, it was what it was, an awakening and a call from a force I knew was outer worldly.But as this is a book of musings, observations and insights. It is rather disjointed, but gives a flavor of the process from innocence and naivety to understanding and acceptance.Not so much from the world, but from myself and my divine feminine.I leave it to you Gentle Reader, to make do what you will of these musings. But I hope that you can come away with a little knowledge a little entertainment and a little awareness, of just how wonderful Life is.I remain forever, your faithful servant

This is the second book of Contemplations, that I wish to present to amuse, bemuse and abuse, your senses, thinking, feelings & intuition.The material was written over a period of several years and does not necessarily reflect where I am at the moment, but the essence I believe is very much true to my own internal process.I hope that you will find some value in these Contemplations. And I ask you to read them carefully, meditate on them, recite or put them into your own words, and then and only then contemplate them. For extra points, see if you can apply them to your daily lives. This is a big request, but I do believe, that it is only through the application of information, that it becomes, Knowledge which leads to wisdom, and ultimately understanding. From there it is anyone's guess.If I have any real hope for this book, it is that perhaps it will stimulate you, into looking and seeing, listening and hearing, and feeling & thinking, about yourself, your relations and the world around you, in a better way.
