A bit of set and setting ... The Book of the Is began in September 2001 and was completed in December 2004; President Bush had just been reelected to a second term and the war on terror was three years old. It has not been updated; for example, there's no President Obama added. The author, Bryan W. Brickner, writes about Christianity, Constitutions and Cannabinoids; these topics are incorporated into The Book of the Is and frame the political theory. Brickner authored The Promise Keepers: Politics and Promises (1999), Article the first of The Bill of Rights (2006), and co-authored The Cannabis Papers: A citizen's guide to cannabinoids (2011). In 2013, he also published a novella, thereafter - (Or, The crows of Wicker Park); the novella completes the political fiction trilogy that includes the novels hereafter (2006) and Parrot in the Atrium (2011). Articles, updates and books are available on the Bryan William Brickner blog. Bryan is from Illinois and currently lives in Michigan.
Constitutional representation is the forgotten story of We the People. The US Constitution, in Article 1, Section 2, and Clause 3, as written and never amended, guarantees We the People a right to representation at the ratio of "one for every thirty Thousand." Article the first of the Bill of Rights would have amended the ratio and changed it to "fifty thousand." But it was not ratified. That means one for every thirty thousand remains the supreme law of the land and the constitutional ratio of representation.
This informative book explores the ideological practices that construct the Promise Keepers movement, while investigating the fundamentals of the Promise Keepers' belief system. Based upon non-participant observations of events as well as in-depth interviews, The Promise Keepers: Politics and Promises studies the movement from the inside, providing a better understanding of this evangelical phenomenon. Examining the group from its modest beginning in 1990 of seventy men joining together in prayer, Bryan Brickner discusses the meaning of the movement in a social context. This book will be invaluable to scholars of religion, gender studies, and political theory.
The story hereafter is a trippy love novel - as in love your self. Just remember, no one has to die in a love story to make it a tragedy: it is the thoughts that die. They perish in time or the lack thereof. - Bryan W. Brickner is the author of The Promise Keepers: Politics and Promises (1999) and received his Ph.D. in political science from Purdue University in 1997. This is his first novel. He is currently a writer and activist in Chicago.
