The Complete Idiot's Guide To Classical Mythologyby Kevin Osborn, Dana BurgessISBN 1592572898 (1-59257-289-8)
Softcover, Alpha Books
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Complete Idiot's Guide To Classical Mythology'Book summary:There are scads of reasons why The Complete Idiot's Guide to Classical Mythology is a great reference text and a worthwhile addition to your home, but its primary appeal lies in its accessible tone. The legends of mythology are fascinating and fun--they wouldn't have lasted this long if they weren't high in entertainment value--but that sometimes gets lost in the drive to be "educated" and the fear of appearing ignorant. When folks allude to Phaedra, does your brain draw a blank? When conversation turns to the works of Pindar, do you wax noncommittal while waiting for a clue? That kind of trepidation puts a real pall on enjoying the humanity, magic, and humor of classic myths; taking you past that is what the Idiot's Guide series does best. They explore the roots of mythology, introduce the Greek and Roman gods and heroes, and tell a lot of great stories. A nonthreatening introduction for students, it renews a love of a tale well told, revitalizes an interest in reading stories aloud, and dusts off some lively yarns. And if reading up on Theseus and Heracles makes you better educated and more conversationally versatile, that's just icing on the cake. --Stephanie Gold [via]

The Conference of the Birdsby Farid-Ud-Din Attar, Rustom Pestonji Masani, Andrew HarveyISBN 1578632463 (1-57863-246-3)
Softcover, Red Wheel/Weiser
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Conference of the Birds'Book summary:Like "Rumi" and "Hafiz", the name "Attar" conjures up images of passionate attraction to the divine. A Persian Sufi of the 12th century, Attar's masterpiece is the Conference of the Birds, an epic allegory of the seeker's journey to God. When all the birds of the world convene and determine that they lack a king, one bird stands forth and offers to lead them to a great and mighty monarch. Initially excited, each bird falters in turn, whereupon their leader admonishes them with well-targeted parables. These pithy tales are the delight of this four-and-a-half thousand line poem, translated deftly into rhymed couplets. What is your excuse for not seeking God--your life is fine already, you prefer material pleasure, you aren't holy enough, you have pride, lack courage or are burdened with responsibility? Attar has an answer to encourage you on the path. And when you get to the promised land, who is the king that you will find? It may not be who you would expect, but you must make the journey to see. --Brian Bruya [via]

The Good Bookby Peter J. GomesISBN 1568954514 (1-56895-451-4)
Hardcover, Wheeler Pub Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Good Book'Book summary:Written by the man Time magazine called one of the seven best preachers in America, The Good Book is a brilliant and inspiring look at the Bible today. Beginning with a bracing crash course in biblical literacy and interpretation, Gomes proceeds to rescue the Bible from those who would misuse its passages to alienate and exclude. In stirring chapters on what the Bible says to us about anti-Semitism, women, homosexuality, and race, Gomes suggests new ways to read and interpret Scripture. Finally, with compassion, humor, and refreshing originality, Gomes seeks to illuminate what the Bible has to say about suffering, joy, evil, temptation, wealth, science, mystery, and the good life. This wise book gives us the tools we need to make the Bible a dynamic, living, and transforming part of our daily lives.
-- A major national bestseller: The Good Book appeared on The New York Times, USA Today, San Francisco Chronicle, Boston Globe, and Wordstock bestseller lists."Brilliant and thought-provoking...a wonderful road map to a text that, if read properly, can provide solace and wisdom in troubled times". -- Boston Globe
"This fine work reflects Gomes's great intelligence, open mind, humanity, wisdom, and struggle to understand the meaning of life and God's word". -- Marian Wright Edelman, President, the Children's Defense Fund
"I am thrilled by this book...easily the best contemporaryy book on the Bible for thoughtful people...a triumph of scholarship and devotion". -- The Right Reverend Lord Runcie, 102nd Archbishop of Canterbury [via]

Grief Lessons: Four Playsby Not Available, Anne CarsonISBN 1590171802 (1-59017-180-2)
Hardcover, Random House Inc
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Grief Lessons: Four Plays'Book summary:Euripides, the last of the three great tragedians of ancient Athens, reached the height of his renown during the disastrous Peloponnesian War, when democratic Athens was brought down by its own outsized ambitions. Euripides, the classicist Bernard Knox has written, was born never to live in peace with himself and to prevent the rest of mankind from doing so. His plays were shockers: he unmasked heroes, revealing them as foolish and savage, and he wrote about the powerlesswomen and children, slaves and barbariansfor whom tragedy was not so much exceptional as unending. Euripides plays rarely won first prize in the great democratic competitions of ancient Athens, but their combustible mixture of realism and extremism fascinated audiences throughout the Greek world. In the last days of the Peloponnesian War, Athenian prisoners held captive in far-off Sicily were said to have won their freedom by reciting snatches of Euripides latest tragedies.
Four of those tragedies are here presented in new translations by the contemporary poet and classicist Anne Carson. They are Herakles, in which the hero swaggers home to destroy his own family; Hekabe, set after the Trojan War, in which Hektors widow takes vengeance on her Greek captors; Hippolytos, about love and the horror of love; and the strange tragic-comedy fable Alkestis, which tells of a husband who arranges for his wife to die in his place. The volume also contains brief introductions by Carson to each of the plays along with two remarkable framing essays: Tragedy: A Curious Art Form and Why I Wrote Two Plays About Phaidra.

And while our own life's journey must always be ended alone, the travel is undertaken in the company not only of immediate loved ones and primal passion, but of the heroes and heroines -- and myth-cycles -- that have preceded us.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Holy Bible: English Stanard Version, Black Bonded Leather'Book summary:[via]¿Es necesario que me convierta en protestante?
De ninguna manera. Yo no perdería el tiempo procurando convertirlo al protestantismo para que se salve.
Soy católico romano y tengo un amigo que es pentecostal. Tal vez usted crea que una de esas religiones nos puede salvar.
Le puedo asegurar que no es así.
Pero usted es protestante. Me resulta difícil entenderlo. ¿Entonces usted piensa que el protestantismo tampoco puede salvar?
¡Claro que no puede! Nadie puede salvarse por practicar ninguna religión, sea protestante o católica, sino sólo por medio de una fe personal en el Señor Jesucristo, el único Hijo de Dios.
¿Cómo podemos estar seguros de eso?
Leamos lo que enseña la Biblia acerca de Cristo: La salvación no se encuentra en ningún otro, porque no hay otro nombre bajo el cielo dado a los hombres por el cual podamos ser salvos (Hechos 4:12). Lo llamarás Jesús, porque él salvará a su pueblo de sus pecados (Mateo 1:21). Jesucristo mismo dijo: Yo soy el camino, la verdad y la vida. Nadie viene al Padre sino por medio de mí (Juan 14:6).
¿Entonces qué debo hacer?
Todo el que invoque el nombre del Señor será salvo (Romanos 10:13). A todos los que lo recibieron, a los que creyeron en su nombre, les dio el derecho de llegar a ser hijos de Dios (Juan 1:12).
Pero ¿me recibirá Cristo a mí?
Cristo dijo: Al que viene a mí, no lo rechazaré (Juan 6:37). Él lo ama tanto que hasta murió por usted. Cargó con los pecados de usted en la cruz del Calvario. Acéptelo. Confíe completamente en su muerte redentora en lugar de usted. Recíbalo ahora mismo como su Salvador. Él se compadecerá de usted y perdonará todos sus pecados.
Ahora creo que Cristo murió por mí; pero ¿qué debo hacer para recibirlo como mi Salvador?
Esta es una de las maneras en que puede orar: Señor, sé que he pecado y que necesito tu perdón. Creo que moriste por mí y que resucitaste de entre los muertos. Te invito a entrar en mi vida para que seas mi Señor y Salvador. ¿Quiere usted recibir a Cristo hoy mismo?
¡Sí! ¡Quiero recibirlo!
Porque es por gracia que ustedes han sido salvados, por medio de la fe esto no de parte de ustedes, sino que es don de Dios, no por obras, para que nadie pueda jactarse (Efesios 2:8-9).
Usted también puede estar seguro de ser salvo si pone toda su confianza en Jesucristo.
Crea Crea en el Señor Jesús, y será salvo (Hechos 16:31).
Confiese sus pecados a Cristo Porque hay un solo Dios y un solo mediador entre Dios y los hombres, Jesucristo hombre (1 Timoteo 2:5).
Confiese a Cristo ante los demás Si confiesas con tu boca: Jesús es Señor, y crees en el corazón que Dios lo resucitó de entre los muertos, serás salvo (Romanos 10:9).

› Find signed collectible books: 'Holy Bible: English Standard Version, Black Premium Calfskin Leather, Black Letter, Single Column Reference Edition'Book summary:Christians who have longed for a more readable literal Bible translation will find much to praise in the English Standard Version. The ESV's translation team of over 100 members has admirably attempted to preserve the stylistic variety of biblical authorship and ease of reading (at the eighth-grade level) despite the word-for-word translation, which historically has resulted in a choppier text flow. Bible study aficionados will appreciate the short introductions to each book, an extensive center column cross-reference system, full-color maps, and a 14,500-entry concordance. The hardcover edition includes the basic Bible frills: a presentation page, as well as marriage, birth, and death registries. There are some luxurious touches as well. The free, prepackaged CD-ROM has the ESV text, KJV Bible for comparative study and use with Strong's Concordance, Nave's Topical Bible, the Crossway Classic Bible Commentary, and others. These extra bonuses are a good incentive to take the English Standard Version for a test drive. --Cindy Crosby [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Malleus Maleficarum Of Heinrich Kramer and James Sprenger'Book summary:The Notorious Handbook Once Used to Condemn and Punish "Witches", by Heinrich Kramer and James Sprenger. This is one of the most notorious books in history. Thousands of innocent people, especially women, lost their lives at the expense of this book. It was first published around 1489, shortly after the invention of the printing press and five years after a papal bull was issued legitimizing the belief in witches. It went through at least 30 printings and became the handbook for witch hunters, both Protestant and Catholic. It gave permission to bishops and secular authorities to prosecute witches if there were no representatives from the Inquisition around, giving full directions. After the witch trials swept through Europe, some villages were left with as few as two women. So if this book is so bad, why should one read it? Because there are lessons to be learned, both psychologically and historically, and there is an ignorance to overcome. This is a fascinating study of mass hysteria, greed, and delusional behavior.

Having climbed the mountain of Purgatory, Dante begins to ascend to the heights of the universe with his beloved Beatrice as guide. They soar through the nine spheres of heaventhe moon, Mercury, Venus, the sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, the stars, and the Prime Mover. Along the way Dante meets people he knew on Earth, who now appear as dazzling jewels, and many others whom he had always wanted to meet, such as St. Thomas Aquinas, Saint Bonaventure, and his great-great-grandfather. Finally, Dante reaches Heaven, where incredibly beautiful scenesbrilliant lights and colors, and flowering gardens unfold before his eyes, always accompanied by celestial music. Heaven, he learns, is not a place of boring rest, but one of joyful activity, dancing and singing, and endless movement and surprises.
A poem of true heroic fulfillment, Paradiso stands as literatures greatest hymn to the glory of God.

Perhaps the greatest single poem ever written, The Divine Comedy presents Dante Alighieris all-encompassing vision of the three realms of Christian afterlife. Joyfully anticipating heaven, Purgatorio continues the poets journey from the darkness of Hell to the divine light of Paradise.
Beginning with Dantes liberation from the Inferno, part two of The Divine Comedy follows the poet as he and the Roman poet Virgil struggle up the steep terraces of the earthly island-mountain called Purgatory, miraculously created as a result of Lucifers storied fall. As he travels through the first seven levelseach representing one of the seven deadly sinsDante observes the sinners who are waiting for their release into Paradise. Each echelon teaches a new lesson about human healing and growth, on earth as well as in the spiritual world. As he journeys upward, level by level, Dante gradually changes into a wiser, braver, and better man. Only when he has learned from each of these stations will he finally be allowed to ascend to the gateway to Heaven: the Garden of Eden.

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Red Tent: Reader's Companion'Book summary:The red tent is the place where women gathered during their cycles of birthing, menses, and even illness. Like the conversations and mysteries held within this feminine tent, this sweeping piece of fiction offers an insider's look at the daily life of a biblical sorority of mothers and wives and their one and only daughter, Dinah. Told in the voice of Jacob's daughter Dinah (who only received a glimpse of recognition in the Book of Genesis), we are privy to the fascinating feminine characters who bled within the red tent. In a confiding and poetic voice, Dinah whispers stories of her four mothers, Rachel, Leah, Zilpah, and Bilhah--all wives to Jacob, and each one embodying unique feminine traits. As she reveals these sensual and emotionally charged stories we learn of birthing miracles, slaves, artisans, household gods, and sisterhood secrets. Eventually Dinah delves into her own saga of betrayals, grief, and a call to midwifery.
"Like any sisters who live together and share a husband, my mother and aunties spun a sticky web of loyalties and grudges," Anita Diamant writes in the voice of Dinah. "They traded secrets like bracelets, and these were handed down to me the only surviving girl. They told me things I was too young to hear. They held my face between their hands and made me swear to remember." Remembering women's earthy stories and passionate history is indeed the theme of this magnificent book. In fact, it's been said that The Red Tent is what the Bible might have been had it been written by God's daughters, instead of her sons. --Gail Hudson [via]

Prehistoric artifacts are juxtaposed with modern art, ancient verse with contemporary poetry. Painting, sculpture, photography, film, and performance art portray the goddess in all her roles: creator and destroyer of life, fertility figure, and ruler of love and wisdom. Included are an ancient Egyptian sculpture of Isis suckling Horus and Judy Chicago's The Crowning, a graphic needlepoint of a woman giving birth. Paired with literary excerpts from Sappho, Emily Dickinson, and other writers, this multicultural celebration of the myriad expressions of womanhood reflects the ongoing influence and presence of goddesses.

› Find signed collectible books: 'War And The Iliad'Book summary:War and the Iliad is a perfect introduction to the range of Homer's art as well as a provocative and rewarding demonstration of the links between literature, philosophy, and questions of life and death.
Simone Weil's The Iliad, or the Poem of Force is one of her most celebrated works--an inspired analysis of Homer's epic that presents a nightmare vision of combat as a machine in which all humanity is lost. First published on the eve of war in 1939, the essay has often been read as a pacifist manifesto. Rachel Bespaloff was a French contemporary of Weil's whose work similarly explored the complex relations between literature, religion, and philosophy. She composed her own distinctive discussion of the Iliad in the midst of World War II--calling it "her method of facing the war"--and, as Christopher Benfey argues in his introduction, the essay was very probably written in response to Weil. Bespaloff's account of the Iliad brings out Homer's novelistic approach to character and the existential drama of his characters' choices; it is marked, too, by a tragic awareness of how the Iliad speaks to times and places where there is no hope apart from war.
This edition brings together these two influential essays for the first time, accompanied by Benfey's scholarly introduction and an afterword by the great Austrian novelist Hermann Broch. [via]More editions of War And The Iliad:

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Way of the Bodhisattva: Revised Edition'Book summary:Shantideva was an Indian Buddhist while Buddhism still flourished in India. His great work, the Bodhicharyavatara, or "Entrance to the Path of Awakening," became a major text of Tibetan Buddhism long after it went out of circulation in its homeland. It is a handbook on how to realize the nature of existence and of compassion that arises from such realization. The Dalai Lama said of it, "If I have any understanding of compassion and the practice of the Bodhisattva path, it is entirely on the basis of this text that I possess it." Like the Book of Proverbs, the Bodhicharyavatara is a timeless work of wisdom, the longevity of which is due to the quality of its verse as much as to its wisdom. For the first time, an attempt has been made to recover that poetic immediacy by rendering the text in iambic lines.
Regard your body as a vessel,
With this translation, gleaming in its clarity, a Buddhist classic becomes an English classic. Worthy of recitation and committing to memory, Shantideva's words on such topics as doing good, reading sutras, guarding the mind, keeping good company, and on the nature of the mind and reality can take on a life of their own, to grow and blossom in a new native tongue. The text booms, like the voice of a Shakespearean actor, as if it were not the bodhisattva but the book itself that proclaims:
A simple boat for going here and there.
Make of it a wish-fulfilling gem
To bring about the benefit of beings.
And now as long as space endures,
--Brian Bruya [via]
As long as there are beings to be found,
May I continue likewise to remain
To drive away the sorrows of the world.

Find This BookBook summary:But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st:
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
-- from Sonnet 18[via]
No home should be without this: every play, from the early histories to the sad, wise Winter's Tale and The Tempest; every exquisitely crafted sonnet; every long poem (such as Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece) written by the greatest writer in the English language. This edition of the Bard of Avon's complete works is a facsimile of the definitive Shakespeare Head edition published originally in Oxford, England. All the plays are arranged in chronological order of their composition, rather than by genre, so that the evolution of Shakespeare's monumental genius can be more easily followed and appreciated.More editions of William Shakespeare:
