"A great and calamitous sequence of arguments with the universe:
poignant, terrifying, ludicrous, and brilliant. "The Exegesis "is
the sort of book associated with legends and madmen, but Dick
wasn't a legend and he wasn't mad. He lived among us, and was a
genius."--Jonathan Lethem
Based on thousands of pages of typed and handwritten notes,
journal entries, letters, and story sketches, The "Exegesis of
Philip K. Dick "is the magnificent and imaginative final work of an
author who dedicated his life to questioning the nature of reality
and perception, the malleability of space and time, and the
relationship between the human and the divine. Edited and
introduced by Pamela Jackson and Jonathan Lethem, this will be the
definitive presentation of Dick's brilliant, and epic, final work.
In "The""Exegesis," Dick documents his eight-year attempt to fathom
what he called "2-3-74," a postmodern visionary experience of the
entire universe "transformed into information." In entries that
sometimes ran to hundreds of pages, Dick tried to write his way
into the heart of a cosmic mystery that tested his powers of
imagination and invention to the limit, adding to, revising, and
discarding theory after theory, mixing in dreams and visionary
experiences as they occurred, and pulling it all together in three
late novels known as the VALIS trilogy. In this abridgment, Jackson
and Lethem serve as guides, taking the reader through the Exegesis
and establishing connections with moments in Dick's life and
work.
The tiny country church of First Covenant Chapel has learned a lot
about faith, hope and love -the greatest of these is love. The
second book in the beloved Heavenly Novels series has Reverend Ben
Montague facing challenges that make climbing Mt. Everest look
easy. Among them is bringing cohesion to a congregation in crisis,
restoring the altar which had become a pedestal, and facing his own
fear about his feelings for Dr. Sylvia DiLeo. This is a love story
on every level!
When we come to the foot of the Cross and look toward Jesus it is
glorious. But, if we do not spiritually move beyond the Cross, then
we are living in the shadow of Jesus' death and not the fullness of
His life. Sanctification is one of the basic elements at the very
core of Christianity. Yet, at some point in history it has become a
rarely understood term. Did you know that Scripture teaches five
forms of sanctification? With great wisdom and insight, Jackson
describes the essentiality of sanctification and draws a picture of
the Trinity that can be clearly seen. She presents a vision of the
bondage of sin into which we all fall and offers the method to
becoming a true servant of God, which we all need. Beyond the Cross
will open your eyes and change your heart!
The Reverend Bob Buck is on a mission -a mission to convert First
Covenant Chapel into the mega-chruch of which he has always
dreamed. Lies, deceit, and greed are nothing so long as he is able
to prove his omnipotence. Slowly, however, his agenda starts to
unravel as fate takes its course and Buck's past catches up to him.
On Side of Heaven explores the fine balance between godliness and
self-righteousness.
