The Anatomies of God, the Bible, and Religion

Decoding the Old and New Testaments

By: Donald R. Nuss

No one knows exactly what happened two thousand years ago in the Holy Land. The four Gospel authors proclaimed their versions, and the fathers of the emerging Christian church trumpeted them to be the Gospel Truth. In The Anatomies of God, the Bible, and Religion, author Donald R. Nuss examines evidence that contravenes what has been accepted for centuries. It asks questions that ministers and priests cannot or will not answer, such as: Is the Bible historically accurate, the word of God, or an amalgam of half truths, myths, and fiction? The result of fifty years of research, The Anatomies of God, the Bible, and Religion serves as a Biblical handbook. Insightful commentary explains how each author of the Old Testament influenced the conduct of the ancient Israelis and how some provided source material for New Testament Gospel authors. Nuss explores the Bibles mystique, reveals its beauty, exposes its blemishes, and analyzes, praises, and criticizes its inconsistencies, contradictions, and mendacity. In this thorough examination, Nuss seeks to explain why religion inspires, elevates, and gives encouragement to many, but incites, irritates, and inflames others.

MacCloud's Secret

Stories of Mystery, Adventure, and Love

By: Donald Nuss

Brimming with high stakes adventure, chilling mystery, and passionate romance, this collection of two novellas and eight short stories speaks to the emotions that make life fascinating. In the title story, "MacCloud's Secret," Angus Duncun MacCloud feels that he's taken advantage of a bereaved widow, and asks for her hand in marriage. But when she turns up dead, suspicion falls on MacCloud, and he must explain how someone broke into his home without anyone hearing or seeing anything. MacCloud guards his secret, as the authorities seek to uncover the truth. Other stories in this collection deal with the periphery of war. In "The Commander's Car," a prewar ensign is given a degrading order by the executive officer. But when he gets his revenge, the entire base celebrates. "Leilani" was a lovely Hawaiian girl who couldn't decide what soldier was worth loving, so she loved them all. Mark Cummings can't accept that and forty years later he returns to Hawaii hoping he'll find the woman who betrayed him-the woman he still loves. "A Fish Story" tells the tale of a Cold War fish that produces a special serum, which causes a worldwide sensation and becomes the biggest story since the launch of Sputnik. Can this creature save the world? Six other stories round out this collection of tales sure to ignite your imagination

To Do and Die

By: Donald R Nuss

Rachel Grunwald, a beautiful young woman from Laguna Beach, California, is afflicted with a flaw buried deep within her subconscious from an incident that occurred at the age of ten. As an adult, compensating for those lost years means living on the edge and enjoying life to its fullest. But Rachel continues to be driven toward violent and compulsive acts by her childhood trauma. After a drunken liaison with her brother-in-law, Scott Sanderson, that results in a new life, Rachel flees to Italy where she marries the son of a Mafia boss. But the deaths of a gigolo in Venice, her mother-in-law, and a traitorous priest soon follow. Could Rachel possibly be connected with the three suspicious deaths? A battered and disillusioned U.S. Navy veteran, Scott tries to recapture time lost through risky business ventures and a deadly encounter with the mob. He turned from his religious faith during the horrors of war, and his marriage to Rachel's sister Rebecca-a devout Catholic-ended in tragedy. But when Rachel needs Scott's help, he cannot refuse the mother of his son. The former lovers reunite and find comfort in each other's arms once again. But will their union save them, or destroy both of their lives?

Unplayable Lies

The Country Club of Fools

By: Donald Nuss

Marrakech is Southern California's newest premier country club and promises a lifetime of privileged membership for those who have reached the pinnacle of financial and social acceptance. Four golfing friends-Wolfgang Martini, Donald Diedrich, Mark Huntington, and Richard Nelson-decide to join. But they soon discover that the membership also includes con men, lechers, Mafiosi, and at least one murderer. After they become members, all four men suddenly take on roles that threaten their friendship. Martini becomes the leader of the Founding Members who are embroiled in a divisive feud with the Regular members. Nelson is a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter who sarcastically documents Marrakech's hedonism. Diedrich takes on the dual role as the club's Don Juan and proponent for the Juanenos Indian tribe, who claim the club has usurped their land, which they need for casino development. But it's mysterious Mark Huntington who raises suspicions-he's either a government agent or a hit man. When the bodies of members start to pile up, it's anybody's guess who is responsible. Is it a member of the Mafia, someone from the Indian tribe, or one of the friends themselves?
