Think of a question - any question! (okay, maybe not a question
like "what was the name of my physics teacher?"). Then turn to a
page, and experience the magic... the magic of F**k It. We all have
questions. And the bestselling F**k It books have provided answers
to hundreds of thousands of people around the world. The F**k It
philosophy - of not worrying so much, of letting go more, of caring
less what others think and doing your own thing - has provided
answers that work in real life, every day.In F**k It Is the Answer,
John C. Parkin adds another element to the F**k It mix: by inviting
you to ask your question, and then turn randomly to a page that
offers you a F**k It-style answer, he recruits the magical powers
of your own unconscious... or 'fate'... or 'spirit'... or whatever
it is that seems to guide us to the correct answers when we allow
it. So this book is about 'allowing it'. Just as F**k It is about
'allowing it' - relaxing, trusting, going with the flow, and
allowing the magic to happen. This book is F**k It Squared: taking
the powerful wisdom of F**k It, and then recruiting whatever
worldly or unworldly magic it is that makes this work.Make no
mistake though: work it does.So... ask your question, and turn to a
page.
Author and public intellectual Orestes Augustus Brownson wrote this
lively commentary on the history of Christianity as the religion
became more established in the United States. The rapid
establishment of new churches and congregations upon the frontier
was a feature of the westward expansion in North America during the
19th century. Writing in 1836, Brownson offers a vivid history of
the religion in the context of its establishment in the USA, his
views upon its beliefs and core philosophies, and whether the
church of his day accurately reflects the original teachings of
Jesus Christ. Written as a narrative from a perspective of a man in
search of spiritual fulfillment, New Views of Christianity sees
Brownson draw contrasts and distinctions between different
denominations and groups who term themselves Christian. He goes on
to identify several important areas where religion has historically
been influential - education in particular is highlighted as being
of great importance.
