› Find signed collectible books: 'All the Parables of the Bible'Book summary:This book is a study and analysis of the more than 250 parables in Scripture. This monumental work is not another tramp over the well-raked field of the parables found in the gospels, but a comprehensive survey of the uses of parabolic illustration and instruction in the whole of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. Never before has this aspect of truth been combined into one volume. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Complete Stories'Book summary:How many writers get their own adjective? The work of this terminally alienated master narrator of the subconscious demanded a new descriptor; I guess they gave up and just settled on "Kafkaesque." But if you ever wonder what the original Kafkaesque work was, take a look here. The book contains all of Kafka's short and longer stories -- everything but his three novels. Most of these stories weren't even published during the author's lifetime. The widely-anthologized The Metamorphosis is here, wherein Gregor Samsa awakes from uneasy dreams to find himself insectoidally transformed, as are equally lovely pieces like A Hunger Artist, A Country Doctor and A Little Woman.

Dreamtigersby Jorge Luis BorgesISBN 0292715498 (0-292-71549-8)
Softcover, Univ of Texas Pr

› Find signed collectible books: 'Dreamtigers'Book summary:Dreamtigers has been heralded as one of the literary masterpieces of the twentieth century by Mortimer J. Adler, editor of Great Books of the Western World. It has been acknowledged by its author as his most personal work. Composed of poems, parables, and stories, sketches and apocryphal quotations, Dreamtigers at first glance appears to be a sampler--albeit a dazzling one--of the master's work. Upon closer examination, however, the reader discovers the book to be a subtly and organically unified self-revelation.
Dreamtigers explores the mysterious territory that lies between the dreams of the creative artist and the "real" world. The central vision of the work is that of a recluse in the "enveloping serenity " of a library, looking ahead to the time when he will have disappeared but in the timeless world of his books will continue his dialogue with the immortals of the past -- Homer, Don Quixote, Shakespeare. Like Homer, the maker of these dreams is afflicted with failing sight. Still, he dreams of tigers real and imagined and reflects upon of a life that, above all, has been intensely introspective, a life of calm self-possession and absorption in the world of the imagination. At the same time he is keenly aware of that other Borges, the public figure about whom he reads with mixed emotions: "It's the other one, it's Borges, that things happen to."

› Find signed collectible books: 'Finding the Lost: Cultural Keys to Luke 15'Book summary:This book explores the intended meaning, as well as the implications and applications, of the three parables in Luke 15 (The Good Shepherd and the Lost Sheep, The Good Woman and the Lost Coin, and The Good Father and His Two Lost Sons). It reflects the author's immersion in the language, religion, and culture of the Middle East, demonstrating how meaningful the biblical text becomes when a broad background of study and analysis is permitted to illuminate the text. Western readers will gain an array of new insights from this volume and will be fascinated by the author's nuances of interpretation. The author's analysis shows how the cultural background of Arabic and Muslim theology affects the interpretation of these parables. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Joshua'Book summary:Joseph Girzone wrote his parable in 1983 and published it himself with neither accompanying fanfare nor expectation of the extraordinary effect it would have on people around the world. With only word-of-mouth for advertising, and by virtue of its siniple message of love, Joshua became an international force of spiritual strength. after its modest beginnings, Joshua and its sequels have millions of readers around the world and continue to bring hope and peace to all who seek nourishment. When Joshua moves to a small cabin on the edge of town, the local people are at first mystified, then confused by his presence. A quiet and simple man, Joshua appears to seek nothing for himself. He supports himself solely by carpentry and woodworking, and he charges very little for his services. Yet his work is exquisite. Even more exquisite, and even more mysterious, is the extraordinary effect he has on everyone he meets. All who come in contact with him can't help but be transformed by his incredible warmth. The acceptance and love in his eyes and in each actions amazes the townspeople. Who is Joshua and just what is he up to? The answer to that question amazes them almost as much discovery of that same transforming power in each of their own hearts. [via]

Now a Major Motion Picture
When Joshua moves to a small cabin on the edge of town, the local people are mystified by his presence. A quiet and simple man, Joshua appears to seek nothing for himself. He supports himself by working as a carpenter. He charges very little for his services, yet his craftsmanship is exquisite. The statue of Moses that he carves for the local synagogue prompts amazement as well as consternation.What are the townsfolk to make of this enigmatic stranger? Some people report having seen him carry a huge cherry log on his shoulders effortlessly. Still others talk about the child in a poor part of town who was dreadfully ill but, after Joshua's visit, recovered completely.
Despite his benevolence and selfless work in the community, some remain suspicious. Finally, in an effort to address the community's doubts, the local religious leaders confront Joshua. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Labyrinths: Selected Stories & Other Writings'Book summary:If Jorge Luis Borges had been a computer scientist, he probably would have invented hypertext and the World Wide Web.
Instead, being a librarian and one of the world's most widely read people, he became the leading practitioner of a densely layered imaginistic writing style that has been imitated throughout this century, but has no peer (although Umberto Eco sometimes comes close, especially in Name of the Rose).
Borges's stories are redolent with an intelligence, wealth of invention, and a tight, almost mathematically formal style that challenge with mysteries and paradoxes revealed only slowly after several readings. Highly recommended to anyone who wants their imagination and intellect to be aswarm with philosophical plots, compelling conundrums, and a wealth of real and imagined literary references derived from an infinitely imaginary library.

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Prophet'Book summary:In a distant, timeless place, a mysterious prophet walks the sands. At the moment of his departure, he wishes to offer the people gifts but possesses nothing. The people gather round, each asks a question of the heart, and the man's wisdom is his gift. It is Gibran's gift to us, as well, for Gibran's prophet is rivaled in his wisdom only by the founders of the world's great religions. On the most basic topics--marriage, children, friendship, work, pleasure--his words have a power and lucidity that in another era would surely have provoked the description "divinely inspired." Free of dogma, free of power structures and metaphysics, consider these poetic, moving aphorisms a 20th-century supplement to all sacred traditions--as millions of other readers already have. --Brian Bruya [via]

Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming'Book summary:A chance encounter with a reproduction of Rembrandt's The Return of the Prodigal Son catapulted Henri Nouwen on a long spiritual adventure. Here he shares the deeply personal and resonant meditation that led him to discover the place within where God has chosen to dwell. In seizing the inspiration that came to him through Rembrandt's depiction of the powerful Gospel story, Henri Nouwen probes the several movements of the parable; the younger son's return, the father's restoration of sonship, the elder son's vengefulness, and the father's compassion. In his reflection on Rembrandt in light of his own life journey, the author evokes the powerful drama of the parable in a rich, captivating way that is sure to reverberate in the hearts of readers. The themes of homecoming, affirmation, and reconciliation will be newly discovered by all who have known loneliness, dejection, jealousy, or anger. The challenge to love as the father and be loved as the son will be seen as the ultimate revelation of the parable known to Christians throughout time, and here represented with a vigor and power fresh for our times.

By providing us with a clearer understanding of the context of these stories in Jesus immediate culture, Claypool demonstrates how accessible the parables were to his listeners, told in familiar terms that everyone who heard them could grasp. He writes:
This is how Jesus worked the miracle of reconciliation again and again. People would come to him in all degrees of panic, fear, and anger. Yet, instead of confronting them head-on and driving them deeper into their defensiveness, he would, like Nathan, defuse their anxiety by saying, Let me tell you a story. . . . Then, drawn in by the narrative and with their defenses down, the listeners would see the story as a mirror, and its light would make their personal darkness visible. In this way, parables became events of revelation.
And so it is with us, Claypool believes. When we open the deep places in our being to the parablesthese stories Jesus still tellsthen in a moment of surprise and insight, we who listen recognize ourselves in the characters and the decisions they face. The stories are no longer about them, but about us, and the opportunity for illumination and transformation in our own lives. [via]More editions of Stories Jesus Still Tells: The Parables:

› Find signed collectible books: 'Waiting Father'Book summary:Volumes of sermons are legion, but there is a book that is in a class by itself. Great scholars are often poor preachers, and great preachers are sometimes indifferent scholars, but the author of this remarkable book is both an outstanding scholar - a former rector of Hamburg University - and a preacher of world renown. This is great preaching; Biblical, relevant, urgent, reminiscent of Luther and of Kierkegaard. Thielicke's challenging interpretation of the parables brings them to life and gives them a new relevance for today. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Juan Salvador Gaviota'Book summary:For most seagulls it is not flying that matters, but eating. For this gull, though, it was not eating that mattered, but flight. Flight is indeed the metaphor that makes the story soar. Ultimately this is a fable about the importance of seeking a higher purpose in life, even if your flock, tribe, or neighborhood finds your ambition threatening. (At one point our beloved gull is even banished from his flock.) By not compromising his higher vision, Juan Salvador gets the ultimate payoff: transcendence. Ultimately, he learns the meaning of love and kindness.
Blurb in Spanish:"Hay quien obedece sus propias reglas porque se sabe en lo cierto; quien cosecha un especial placer en hacer algo bien; quien adivina algo más que lo que sus ojos ven; quien prefiere volar a dormir y comer; todos ellos harán duradera amistad con Juan Salvador Gaviota. Habrá también quienes volarán con Juan Gaviota por lugares de encanto y aventura, y de luminosa libertad. Pero para unos y otros será una experiencia que jamas olvidarán". Richard Bach [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'El Profeta/the Prophet'Book summary:Una de las obras maestras de la literatura universal es El Profeta. En la voz de Almustafá, el profeta, se encierra la esencia última del pensamiento poético de Jalil Gibrán, poeta libanés emigrado a Estados Unidos y perseguidor errante de la verdad y la bellza, en cuya personalidad se da prodigiosa sÃntesis de un Oriente y Occidente fertilizados por la sensibilidad de un autor subyugante. Cada relectura arrojará un nueva valor, cada imagen evocada adquirirá un nuevo perfil. Siempre hay algo nuevo y sorprendente en las densas y breves páginas en las que se concentra todo el verbo creador del poeta libanés. Es por esta razó por lo que El Profeta fue desde un primer momento un clásico predestinado a la inmortalidad. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'L'effet Pervers: Le Naufrage Des Democraties'Book summary:253pages. 13,1cm x 20,6cm x 2,1cm. Broché. L'Alchimiste est le récit d'une quête, celle de Santiago, un jeune berger andalou parti à la recherche d'un trésor enfoui au pied des Pyramides. Dans le désert, initié par l'Alchimiste, il apprendra à écouter son coeur, à lire les signes du destin et, par-dessus tout, à aller au bout de son rêve. Destiné à l'enfant que chaque être cache en soi, L'Alchimiste est un merveilleux conte philosophique, que l'on compare souvent au Petit Prince, de Saint-Exupéry, et à Jonathan Livingston le Goéland, de Richard Bach. Le levant s'était mis à souffler. Il amenait les Maures sans doute, mais il apportait aussi l'odeur du désert. Il apportait la sueur et les songes des hommes qui étaient partis en quête de l'Inconnu, en quête d'or, d'aventures, et de pyramides. Alors le jeune berger andalou se prit à envier la liberté du vent et comprit qu'il pourrait, comme lui, traverser les pays et trouver sa Légende personnelle. Destiné à l'enfant que chaque être cache en lui, L'Alchimiste est un merveilleux conte philosophique qui nous guide sur la voie d'un trésor oublié. Et des terres noires andalouses aux mystères de l'Egypte, déchiffrant les augures du ciel, le lecteur trouvera lui aussi le secret de l'Alchimie. [via]
