Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
To everyone who has ever laid in bed wondering about life after
death, or the existence of God.
For all of us, reaching out for any tiny piece of evidence to
corroborate our beliefs, or strengthen our doubts. For everyone
undergoing a serious illness at home, or in the hospital, or are
nearing the end of our journey, and now reside in a hospice, or
nursing home. For all of us crying out for some sense to our
suffering, this book may offer some relief.
This book is not meant to be an academic study, but a source of
hope, a comforting perspective, and a reassurance of the existence
of God.
It is my presumption that the actual orders of creation are very
similar. In fact when compared to any other religious beliefs,
Genesis is the closest in description, to the actual scientific
order of creation we know today.
This book is an informal look at the origins of life on this
planet, looking at science and Genesis.
The question is simple. Does the Book of Genesis, written
thousands of years ago, accurately describe the chronological Order
of Creation on this planet?
Is this coincidence, or divine inspiration?
The twentieth century will forever be marked by the horrific event
of the Shoah. As a young man, the future John Paul II witnessed
this horror during the Nazi occupation of Poland. His pontificate
achieved a number of groundbreaking steps in the Catholic Church's
relationship with the Jewish people. This book both reflects upon
John Paul II's achievements, and seeks to continue the theological
and philosophical dialogue that he cherished. By examining together
the words and deeds of John Paul II, eminent Jewish and Catholic
scholars exemplify in this volume the dialogue that John Paul
fostered. Together, Jews and Catholics can encourage each other in
the tasks of knowing the Creator, living a life worthy of the
created dignity that human beings possess, and defending the
vulnerable among us. As Dostoevsky warned before the horrors of the
twentieth century, without God, anything is permitted. Following in
the footsteps of John Paul II, we discover that our search for
meaning and truth is one that needs to be undertaken arm-in-arm.

There's a man in the world who is never turned down, wherever he
chances to stray; he gets the glad hand in the populous town, or
out where the farmers make hay; he's greeted with pleasure on
deserts of sand, and deep in the aisles of the woods; wherever he
goes there's the welcoming hand-he's The Man Who Delivers The
Goods. The failures of life sit around and complain; the gods
haven't treated them white; they've lost their umbrellas whenever
there's rain, and they haven't their lanterns at night; men tire of
the failures who fill with their sighs the air of their own
neighborhoods; there's one who is greeted with love-lighted
eyes-he's The Man Who Delivers The Goods. One fellow is lazy, and
watches the clock, and waits for the whistle to blow; and one has a
hammer, with which he will knock, and one tells a story of woe; and
one, if requested to travel a mile, will measure the perches and
roods; but one does his stunt with a whistle or smile -- he's The
Man Who Delivers The Goods....
