"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!

For two-semester anatomy & physiology lab courses. A concise, workbook-style approach for a fast-paced A&P lab course This full-color laboratory manual is designed for instructors who teach a two-semester anatomy & physiology lab course, but do not require the full range of laboratory exercises found in Marieb and Smith's best-selling Human Anatomy & Physiology Lab Manual (Cat, Fetal Pig, and Main). Written to complement Marieb and Hoehn's streamlined Anatomy & Physiology, 7th Edition, the manual can be used with any two-semester text. The 27 concise, activity-based lab exercises explore fundamental concepts in anatomy & physiology and build students' observational and laboratory skills. The manual's workbook-style approach incorporates visual summary tables, reviews key information, and engages students with hands-on drawing, labeling, and writing activities that can be completed using handy tear-out review sheets. Each lab includes learning objectives and efficient summaries of key concepts, as well as a list of materials needed for conducting the lab. The 7th Edition adds dozens of new, full-color illustrations and photos plus new critical thinking and clinical application questions to the Exercise Review Sheets. To improve clarity and readability, the headings, exercise tabs, and tables feature more saturated colors.

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!
