This is a big joke. a 20,000 word joke to be precise. The conceit being 'remove narrative from a novel' and replace it with 'flattened versions' in the form of chapter titles that refer to narratology terminology. As a second tier, I decided to use an Oulipan lipogram-type constraint in which each chapterlet is named after a letter of the English alphabet and does not contain that letter. This is another play on absence. My hope is that the lack of narrative is filled-in by the reader, as I found when I wrote it. Clearly there are protagonists. Although not spoken of directly, there are also the affects of events having taken place. Any implication of story has been generated by chance through the cut-up of archeological reports written by Bethan Bones and other material like lists of adjectives. The lack of the meaning-creating signal of narrative, produces a kind of null, a flatline a drone from which your transcendence may be apparent. Don't forget to laugh.

A comparison between Earth's cyclical and balanced processes before and after the introduction of humans is made. An analysis of the attempts of the civilized to understand Nature and their eventual turning away from it to construct a reality of their own. This alternate reality is examined through economics, culture, and scientific lenses and their effects on the Earth and its inhabitants. The future is contemplated for humanity and the planet in light of current climatic and other worldwide events such as global warming and depletion of water resources to name just two of many.

The Only Alternative to our current way of life is introduced in Five action steps achievable in our lifetime.
In volume I of the Blind Century Professor Hoggan primarily looked at the rise of America and her messianic illusions of Manifest Destiny which included not only subjugating the American continent, but all of South America and ultimately the world - a fulfilled Manifest Destiny under which we now live in this 21st Century.The 20th Century - the "American Century" - is a result of this messianic drive, and the consequences for Europe were devastating. Europe is the cradle of our Indo-European peoples and of Western Christian Civilization, and the centrality of all that entails. The rise of messianic America, and then of the USSR resulted in the destruction of the heartlands of our civilization, culture, and science. Some of his prophecies have not yet happened, such as the collapse of the United States - because of the destruction of the dollar, her demographics and ethnic constituency - but are looming on the horizon. Indeed the U.S. has somewhat reinvented itself several times to maintain her power and prestige, particularly after causing the collapse of her long-time ally and some-time enemy, the Soviet Union, but the massive debt bomb in ticking and the world is becoming restless. How long the juggling continue, no one knows. Certainly not forever as we balance on the precipice of World War III with a revanchist Russia now being fought in Ukraine as an American and NATO proxy war.Hoggan writes in favor of a revived Europe which he hopes will be able to eventually throw off American (and Russian) rule and reestablish herself as the Center of a renewed and re-enheartened Western Civilization and Christendom.

The book is both earthy and heavenly. It is earthy as it deals with the pain, upheavals, disappointments, sickness, bereavement, challenges, and humanity that confronts a minister in his call to love and care for his congregation/community as well as his own personal challenges in carrying out the mandate of the gospel; the mandate in caring and shepherding the flock God has placed in his care, but also in fulfilling the Divine Commission to "go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature...."
All too often Jesus is presented as a weakling, a tender man without strength, or as Jesus our lover. These dishonor the historic Jesus who was extremely masculine, who fought against the Pharisees, drove out the money changers from the temple using a whip, overturning their tables.This Jesus is far too violent for the effeminate Christianity of today. Thus, he had to be toned down, to become someone who would not give offense to anyone. And then churches wonder why young men are leaving en masse.When our European ancestors converted to the Faith of Christ it was because they recognized his manly virtures in eschewing death, and boldly presently his message of the Kingdom, the Gospel, without fear or favor.This is the Christ that Fr. Haeuser, a biblical scholar and pastor, brings back to life before us. He speaks of those mysterious words of Christ about leaving house and family, forsaking all, and shows the proper context for understanding Christ's mission as the Warrior Son of God.Christianity is not a religion of death and sin, it is a manly faith which urges us onward to establish the rule and reign of Christ the King in order to fulfill our divine destiny
Jesus Christ preexistedthe Incarnation(John 8:58). He existed in apreincarnateform before He was incarnated (Php. 2:6). However, in this preexisting form He had no beginning.Jesus Christ is"theBeginning"(Rev. 3:14,21:6,22:13). We can be sure that He preexisted the creation of the world in the genesis of time; for, in actuality, HeCreatedit (Genesis 1:1;John 1:1-5,Col. 1:16-17,Eph. 3:9). Jesus is one among the plurality of people, who said,"Letus make man in our Image"(Gen. 1:26), when the mighty and strong creator God, called,Elohim(Gen. 1:26), created mankind. Herein, from eternity past, long before Jesus becametheSon ofMan,He was alwaystheSon of Godin whomtheFatherdelights (Prov. 8:22-31); and, astheSon of God,Jesus istheAlphaandtheOmega(Rev. 1:8,11,21:6,22:13) -the Second Person of the Godheadwho has interposed Himself on behalf of mankind from thebeginning, even before the fall of Adam, theretofore untiltheincarnation, andmuch moreforevermore (1 Cor. 5:1-5,Ps. 110:1,Matt. 28:19-20,Rom. 5:10).
This newly revised book of poems, originally published in 2010, centered around my experience as a Peace Corps volunteer in Niger, West Africa. These poems deal with the volunteer experience, the experience of day-to-day village life, and the clash between the two. They are by turns, bawdy, sad, and as surreal as the Peace Corps experience itself. A number of these poems have been published in the following journals; pLopLop, INPOSSE, Five Fingers Review, Flying Island, Bathtub Gin. Others were published in Kilhohertz Country, a chapbook of poems published by GeekSpeak Unique Press--Dan Grossman
