My Name is Michael Sibley

A Novel

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

FROM THE INTRODUCTION BY JOHN LE CARRÉ "This novel comprises some of the best work of an extremely gifted and perhaps under-regarded British crime novelist....What gave John Bingham his magic was something we look for in every writer, too often in vain: an absolute command of the internal landscape of his characters, acutely observed by a humane but wonderfully corrosive eye." Michael Sibley and John Prosset shared a history that dated back to their first years at boarding school, and so the news of Prosset's murder came as a great shock to his old friend -- especially because Sibley had been staying only the day before at Prosset's country house, where the body was found. When the police arrive to question him in connection with the murder, Sibley finds himself lying about his recent visit, and thus begins to reveal the true nature of a longstanding but volatile friendship, fraught with mutual deception and distrust. As he tells his version of the truth to the police -- and to the reader -- Sibley makes the first of many fateful mistakes and finds himself not only under suspicion, but a primary suspect in the investigation. Seen through the eyes of Sibley himself, My Name Is Michael Sibley is a mesmerizing account of murder, as the narrator purposefully attempts to elude the police and prove his innocence to the reader in the same breath.

Positives

By: John Michael Word

In my job working for a food broker, I had opportunities to work with a lot of people in supermarkets who were not always pleased with their jobs. I try to be encouraging with other people and write one page about different things to encourage them. In so many cases, the people were very encouraged by my writing. That encouraged me too, so I wrote "positive" for many years, and I was blessed by having many people happy to see what I had for them this time. I know also that in spite of my weaknesses, I was truly blessed by God. I hope that my writing will bless more people, now that I'm retired. All the glory for others being encouraged by my writings will be the Lord Jesus!

Pistis Sophia

A journey through the spaces of the Ineffable

Pistis Sophia

A journey through the spaces of the Ineffable

By: John van den Berg

A Coptic manuscript from late antiquity is known by the scientific name Codex Askewianus, attributed to Anthony Askew. He acquired it at a London market in 1785. His heirs later entrusted it to the curators of the British Museum. At the end of the nineteenth century, the manuscript was translated and from then on became known as the Gospel of the Pistis Sophia. The German translation by Carl Schmitt from 1905 is the basis for the later English translations by G.R.S Mead from 1921 and that by Violet MacDermot from 1978. This completely revised English translation is also based on the work of Carl Schmitt. To make reading easier, titles have been given to the chapters and the codex is treated as one scripture where a thematic distinction in six themes is added. Recent research by Erin Evans has made it very plausible that the scripture originates from a congregation once active in Egypt. It contains part of their teachings from the third to the fourth century of our era. An older scripture by them is known as the books of Jeu. Both scriptures are written in Coptic, most likely based on an unknown Greek original. Coptic is a language that came into vogue in ancient Egypt. It is Old Egyptian, called Demotic, written with Greek characters, supplemented with seven extra characters. A word that occurs frequently in this English version is the word repent. The original Greek word for it is metanoia, which literally means meta-thought or beyond-thought. Thus repentance has the meaning of a state of consciousness beyond the human thought. To repent, then, is to come to an awareness of what is beyond the world of thought, beyond the human mind. The repentance of the Pistis Sophia thus takes her beyond the spiritual powers of the darkness, with their archons and emanations of Authades, the mighty human willpower. Through consciousness she enters the thirteenth eon, after an outpouring of light has taken her there, as if she has grown wings and no longer needs to touch the darkness. From then on she brings back to mankind the wisdom from beyond the human mind, which once had become forgotten. What this scripture wants to tell the reader in our modern times is that on the basis of the inner intention to truly get to know the mysteries, a power appears to help in this process. The myth tells us the story of Jesus with his disciples on the Mount of Olives after the crucifixion; after the power of Jesus connected itself with mankind. The disciples are the people who start becoming conscious of this liberating power. For it is the act from true awareness that makes all the powers of the saviour active in the human life in the world of space and time. As soon as someone decides to be a disciple, there is a readiness to let the saviour guide this inner life. This is why the entire scripture is written as a dialogue between Jesus and his disciples. This dialogue begins on the Mount of Olives. From this place the holy city of Jerusalem can be seen. It is the state of consciousness of the disciples who are preparing themselves to enter into the holy city: Jerusalem, the treasury of the light. When Jesus has spoken the first words in the midst of the disciples and the disciples understand their privileged position, Jesus ascends, surrounded by a threefold light. He comes back with his garments of light from the treasury of the light. These garments of light contain all the mysteries, that is, all the hidden knowledge that need to be revealed to the disciples in order to enable them to enter the treasury of light themselves. Thus they gain a higher level of consciousness, beyond thought.

Michael Davies - An Evaluation

By: John S. Daly

Cambridge-educated translator John S. Daly puts the scholarship of the late Michael Davies under the spotlight. What emerges from systematic comparison with statements of the Magisterium and the greatest theologians must destroy Davies's credibility in the eyes of every serious reader. ""Michael Davies - An Evaluation"" remains not only an unanswered indictment of Davies as a Catholic scholar, but a standing refutation of the entire ecclesiology of those who believe it possible for an orthodox Catholic to reject the doctrinal errors and reformed rites spawned by Vatican II without calling into doubt the legitimacy of recent papal claimants and the validity of the new sacraments. This book was hailed by celebrated traditionalist pastor Fr. Oswald Baker (1915-2004) as one of the two most important to have emerged from the post-Vatican II crisis in the Catholic Church.

Turning Point

By: John M Gilmore Sr.

Turning Point is a book of lessons masked and weaved among stories of pain, misfortune, and enlightenment. It was written with the intent to bring an understanding and awareness to both our kids and the people responsible for their development. It has so much to offer by way of lessons from the mentor, John GMOE; from the relationship fostered by their teacher, Mrs. Debra, who demands respect without giving it back in return; and through the eyes and dialogues of the students who reluctantly participate in this mentoring class. It also speaks to the realities of poverty and social/environmental neglect that some kids experience in their day-to-day lives and the huge role it plays in their unwillingness and readiness to participate properly in an organized school setting.

On the Rails

A Novel

By: John Owens

Set against the harsh backdrop of the Great Depression, On the Rails traces the journey of Michael Shymchuk (later Shutt), a boy from the Canadian prairies who escapes a bitter family life and a failing farm to ride the train rails, crossing the country and the paths of a memorable cast of characters. Fleeing poverty and abandoning perhaps the love of his life, Michael enlists in the legendary Royal Canadian Mounted Police, where he comes face to face with bootleggers, bandits, whores, murderers, and, ultimately, all the evil men do. Finally, in the unforgiving Canadian Arctic, among the Inuit, the missionaries, and the mercenaries, Michael's body and spirit are severely tested as he deals with the brutal environment, another mans insanity, and the haunting discovery of a nineteenth-century English expedition. Death comes close, and he faces an intense day of reckoning with all that he believes. Tracing one young mans journey into manhood and self-knowledge, On the Rails is an adventure, a bittersweet love story, and an epic tale of sin, redemption, and the agonizing choices that confront us all.

Mary, Michael, and Lucifer

Folk Catholicism in Central Mexico

By: John M. Ingham

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Mary, Michael, and Lucifer

Folk Catholicism in Central Mexico

By: John M. Ingham

The physical signs of Roman Catholicism pervade the Mexican countryside. Colonial churches and neighborhood chapels, wayside shrines, and mountaintop crosses dot the landscape. Catholicism also permeates the traditional cultures of rural communities, although this ideational influence is less immediately obvious. It is often couched in enigmatic idiom and imagery, and it is further obscured by the vestiges of pagan customs and the anticlerical attitudes of many villagers. These heterodox tendencies have even led some observers to conclude that Catholicism in rural Mexico is little more than a thin veneer on indigenous practice. In Mary, Michael, and Lucifer John M. Ingham attempts to develop a modern semiotic and structuralist interpretation of traditional Mexican culture, an interpretation that accounts for the culture's apparent heterodoxy. Drawing on field research in Tlayacapan, Morelos, a village in the central highlands, he shows that nearly every domain of folk culture is informed with religious meaning. More precisely, the Catholic categories of spirit, nature, and evil compose the basic framework of the villagers' social relations and subjective experiences.

Lightbearer

By: John Caruso

Lucifer: fallen angel or martyr of desire? Condemned to die by God and branded a traitor by his fellow fallen angels, Lucifer descends on Boston in a blizzard. He is drawn to humanity and vows to appear before the world again as Lucifer. But with Heaven's longstanding disinformation campaign stacked against him, he does not yet dare. When he learns of a celibate cult, the Wise Virgins, he dons human disguises and enters the lives of two of its leaders, Virgil Caldera and his aunt, Agatha Brimsmead. The powerful archangel Michael, Lucifer's creator and former lover, is behind the cult. Michael is convinced that sex is the source of all misery on earth, and has decreed that humans must renounce erotic love or burn in hellfire. The battle of wills and wits is onÑnot only over the bodies and souls of Virgil and Agatha, but in that age old struggle between desire and divine authority. Lucifer has one hope of defeating Michael: he must expose the deadly flaw in Michael's plan of salvation. But as long as he remains hidden, he cannot reveal the truth about his past in heaven or the scandal of the world to come. In The Bible and Milton's Paradise Lost, Lucifer is portrayed as the angel whose pride caused him to fall from heaven and turn toward evil. In Lightbearer, he is the artist, the dissident, and the genius of desire who dares to question the premise of creation itself, and who reveals that sin may be all that stands between us and living hell.

Michael

By: John Osborn

Michael Lord is the second son in a wealthy family where the father believes in primogeniture. Set in 1990 on the Lord family estate in Somerset where the family manages their forests and Brainware, their software development company, the story describes Michael's strategies at age twenty to become the inheritor of the Lord family fortune by his twenty-first birthday. In a family brought up to ride, to sail and to rock climb Michael manages to demonstrate how he is a survivor and an opportunist where his future is concerned. Michael manages to merge studies, business opportunities, women, drugs, sex, plagiarism and family affairs in a variety of ways to advance his own future. Around this character of Michael, an intelligent but self-centred young man, the story describes the concerns and efforts of Anthony and Sylvia Lord, Michael's parents to understand their son as well as their three other children. The challenge of the second child in the Lord dynasty has been repeated in each previous generation. Just after Michael's twenty-first birthday, when he partially achieves his annual objective the story concludes with Michael being pressured to find a supposed lost or hidden part of the Lord family inheritance. In his efforts to find this at all costs Michael ends up paying a high price.

Pastor Craft

Essays & Sermons

By: John T Pless

This book has grown out of a ministry that has spanned nearly four decades. It is built around the conviction that theology does matter for theology has to do with words from God, words spoken back to God and words spoken to the world. Luther once remarked something to the effect that the cross alone is our theology. Before Luther there was the Apostle Paul who came to the Corinthians with "the word of the cross" (1 Cor. 1:18) determined to know nothing among them but Jesus Christ and Him crucified (see 1 Cor. 2:2). In essays, sermons, and homiletical studies this volume seeks to continue that apostolic aim. A significant portion of this book is devoted to sermons. Sermons, of course, are written to be preached rather than published. None the less, there is value in reading sermons. Such reading is a way of meditating on God's Word. This reading might also prompt other preachers to explore an overlooked dimension of a text for their proclamation. Sermons are never generic; they always have a context. Many of these sermons were preached in Kramer Chapel on the campus of Concordia Theological Seminary in Fort Wayne where the author has served as a professor since 2000. These sermons are preaching for future preachers, equipping them in the way of Luther's oratio, meditatio, and tentatio for the burdens and joys of the pastoral office. There are occasional sermons from conferences, funerals, and ordinary congregations. Over the years, Prof. Pless has preached at over thirty ordinations or installations of pastors. A sampling of these sermons are included. They bear the imprint of the bond that exist between professor and student. More importantly they promote Jesus Christ as the Lord who calls men into the ministry and enlivens and sustains them there with His Gospel for the good of His flock. The remainder of the book is devoted to essays in pastoral theology covering the range of the author's interest from Hermann Sasse to vocation, liturgical practice to the Small Catechism, challenges to confessional Lutheranism in North America to the office of the ministry. Many of these essays originated at conferences both in the USA and abroad. The contents of this volume flow from the pulpit, desk, and podium of a man who seeks not novelty or creativity but faithfulness to the word of the cross.

On My Honor

The Beliefs That Shape My Life

By: John Ashcroft

In this memoir by the former attorney general and senator, “Ashcroft tells his own story [and] reflects on the lessons he learned” (Publishers Weekly). On the first day of his Senate confirmation hearings, John Ashcroft raised his right hand and vowed, “I swear to uphold the laws of the United States of America, so help me God.” People who knew him intimately knew they could count on this. In On My Honor, Ashcroft reveals his personal beliefs on racism, abortion, capital punishment, our judicial system, his faith in God, and more. These beliefs were not designed to answer his political critics or tamp down controversies—they are beliefs he has held for years. Here is an opportunity to judge this extraordinary man from his own words and deeds. As Ashcroft says, “The verdict of history is inconsequential; the verdict of eternity is what counts.” Previously published as Lessons from a Father to His Son

Documents of the Reformation

By: John A. Wagner

An engaging and accurate introduction to the Protestant Reformation, told in the words of those who led it, opposed it, and lived it. The Protestant Reformation was a pivotal event in world history and religion. Documents of the Reformation collects more than 60 primary documents that shed light on the personalities, issues, ideas, and events of the 16th-century upheaval and will help readers to understand how and why the Protestant Reformation began and transpired as it did. The book is divided into 12 sections on topics such as indulgences, persecution, and women in the Reformation, each of which offers five document selections. Detailed introductions preceding the documents put them into historical context and explain why they are important, while a general introduction and chronology help readers to understand the Reformation in broad terms and to see causal connections. Bibliographies of current print and digital resources attend each document, and a general bibliography lists seminal works on the Reformation.

Telemachos

A Modern Odyssey

By: John Dunne-Brady

Telemachos – son of Odysseus in the classical epic The Odyssey by Homer – grew up in Ithaca in ancient Greece with his mother Penelope. Meanwhile, for twenty years, his father fought at Troy and struggled through his famous adventures. Once home, Telemachos helped his father kill the invasive suitors who pillaged the family estate and sought to force the faithful Penelope into an unwanted marriage. In the modern story, the protagonist wandered through the second half of the 20th century on a spiritual journey to search for his soul. Michael Barrent encountered his own version of the Cyclops, Lotus Eaters, Circe, Scylla and Charybdis. He survived childhood, religious indoctrination, education, the Vietnam war, drugs, spiritual gurus and communities, and various unstable sexual relationships. Finally, he exiled the demon-entity belief-system (suitors) which controlled his memory, personality, and essence. Eventually, he found his soul mate and personal calling. The book was also inspired by the fictional journey taken by Leopold Bloom through Dublin, Ireland, on June 16th, 1904. Described in Ulysses by James Joyce, Bloom met equivalent Homeric characters, accepted the affair of his estranged wife Molly, and eventually befriended Stephen Dedaelus as a substitute son.

Michael Douglas: Acting on Instinct

By: John Parker

In the shadow of his father Kirk's overpowering fame, Michael Douglas forged a career for himself and became recognised in his own right as an award-winning actor and producer. But fame has taken its toll on Michael's personal life. His struggles with sexual addiction, his treatment for alcoholism and drug dependency and the break-up of his first marriage show another side to Michael's success. In 2010, his troubled past came back to haunt him when Cameron, his eldest son, was sentenced to five years in prison for drug dealing. Yet, despite a rocky road, Michael has found happiness later in life. His marriage to Catherine Zeta Jones meant a second shot at fatherhood and gave him strength following a devastating diagnosis of advanced throat cancer at the age of 65. This is the compelling and remarkable story of a Hollywood son who waged a battle against the odds to achieve his fame and fortune, and has kept on fighting with every challenge he faces.
