Paperback. Condición: Good. ?A gleefully apocalyptic page-turner . . .? ?Kirkus ReviewsMeet Chloe and Elizabeth Yetti: antisocial, semi-homicidal eighteen-year-old twins casually surviving the AI apocalypse.Ten years ago, a powerful machine intelligence unleashed a nanoengineered superdrug on humanity.

Condición: Good. The poems in Babylon in a Jar extend the forceful explorations that Andrew Hudgins began with Saints and Strangers, his first book and a runner-up for the Pulitzer Prize in 1985. Since then, he has probed the nature of Southern experience, the conflict between religion and worldliness, the origins of poetry, the exaltations and perils of family. In this volume he brings such issues down to the old conflict between order and disorder. He responds with passion to the natural world, to history, to inheritance: "before he flooded the rubble, he swept up the dust of Babylon / to give as presents, and he stored it in a jar." The breadth and sweep of these poems, their variety and fervor, surpass Hudgins's previous work in After the Lost War (winner of the Poets' Prize), The Never-Ending (a runner-up for the National Book Award), and The Glass Hammer.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Poetry. SAILING TO BABYLON is the first full-length collection from James Pollock. These are poems of exploration and discovery of the self and the universal. Closer to home, there is the schoolboy fascination with the English teacher; the grandmother's old Bible; a Dantean-style extended account of a hiking adventure with a young son, fully realized in terza rima. Further out in time and geography, Pollock muses on figures from Canadian history--explorers Henry Hudson, David Thompson, and John Franklin; pioneering literary theorist Northrop Frye; and pianist Glenn Gould. Each of these quests has accompanying trials or triumphs. This is a collection full of surprises and pleasures, with a treasure-chest mapped for discovery in an image of the world / made small enough to hold inside the mind. A book that has the power to take you to the place / exactly where you always meant to go.The metaphysics of the pause, the transition, the image: James Pollock has the Transtr mer instinct, but he plays the music in his very own key. These are haunting, deeply digested, nearly always surprising poems--Sven Birkerts.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Satan always works in one of two ways to deceive: perversion or diversion Satan cannot create anything He can only try to pervert what God has already created. If perversion doesn't work, he then attempts to divert (distract) in order to destroy, or at least diminish the Word of God and the work of God in our lives This book exposes the schemes, plans and designs of the evil one in his attempt to distract, divert, persuade and pervert the church by using the weapon of religion The church today looks nothing like the early church in the Book of Acts Most of what we do in church on Sundays is a fraud, a sacrilege, a powerless shadow of the early New Testament church.

And he explains why God truly hates religion, but He loves relationship.…
