The Poet-Emperor of Earth: An in-Depth Dialogue with the Deity

By: Dr. John Telford

The Poet-Emperor of EARTH - A In-Depth Dialogue with the DEITY' breathes with a laser-like satiric brilliance. Author John Telford, a longtime social activist who was a recent Detroit mayoral candidate and a superintendent of that city's public schools, creates an only SEMI-fictitious hallucinatory world that illuminates the equally surreal one we live in. Often darkly humorous, it incidentally lauds Bernie Sanders and puts Donald Trump in an interesting place. You won't put this book down--but no peeking before the end!

Holidays & Other Disasters

By: John G. Rodwan, Jr.

Holidays and Other Disasters considers the major U.S. holidays – Easter, Christmas, Opening Day, etc. – from an atheist’s perspective. It examines explicitly religious holidays, those that have a definite if not always acknowledged religious thrust (Valentine’s Day, Thanksgiving) and secular holidays that had religious elements added on (like Labor Day) by way of personal stories, usually the author’s own. Where other people have especially revealing holiday stories, as is the case with Jack Johnson (the first black heavyweight champion) and the Fourth of July, novelist Salman Rushdie and Valentine’s Day or labor leader Eugene V. Debs and Labor Day, Rodwan tells theirs. Of course, holidays aren’t about religion alone, and Holidays and Other Disasters doesn’t look narrowly at them as pageants of piety. Rather, the book considers the various issues holidays raise, including race and class, and discusses other forms of expressive activity, such as literature, music and sports, along with religion and holiday rituals.
