The Last Straw
Come quibble over a Galaxy far far away!Once, in a theater long ago and far, far away, young audiences thrilled to the nostalgic space epic of yesteryear, known then only as STAR WARS, and were duly enthralled. So much goodwill, so much affection, so much love has rarely been lavished on any franchise. So much money from so many eager fans was never so readily available.And yet, with one potent Deathstar-like blast of mind-breakingly awful film making, the Disney Corporation has managed to alienate that goodwill, spurn that affection, and lose that money. Why? What makes THE LAST JEDI so appallingly bad? What made the film maker think he could win over his audience by insulting his audience?Science Fiction Grandmaster John C Wright laments, analyzes, and autopsies the horrific story-telling of a film that, for so many of us, was the last hope for STAR WARS, the last dime we will ever spend on this once-beloved franchise, and the last straw that broke our patience.

THE BOOK OF FEASTS & SEASONS is a beautifully mind-bending stroll with a grandmaster of science fiction through the annual Catholic calendar. Over the course of the year, from January to December, the author takes his inspiration from ten different holidays and explores their meanings in a series of stories of marvelous imagination.The book begins with New Year''s Day and "The Meaning of Life as Told Me by an Inebriated Science Fiction Writer in New Jersey." The Feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin is represented by "A Random World of Delta Capricorni Aa, Called Scheddi", while "The Parliament of Beasts and Birds" is the story for the Feast of Pentecost. The calendar, and the anthology, culminate on Christmas Eve with "Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus". John C. Wright is not only a deeply religious man, he is a devout Catholic philosopher who regards reason as an intrinsic aspect of his faith. THE BOOK OF FEASTS & SEASONS is an imaginative embodiment of that faith taking many different shapes and forms throughout the vast expanse of God''s Creation.Grab it now!

A Non-negotiable Salvation

release date: Jan 04, 2010
A Non-negotiable Salvation
There is an eternal blessing in knowing who you are and to whom you belong. This book will explore the question in everyone''s mind, "Am I going to Heaven." However, with the gift of salvation also comes responsibility of the Believer. They are to love their God above all else; to love one another and to defend their faith in a world of non- believers. God expects us to witness to unbelievers, praying that the Holy Spirit will come upon them and they will be saved. The guarantee to eternal life is through faith in Jesus Christ. Love is the recipe to God''s heart and to the heart of others. In a world of diverse beliefs, Jesus will still stand. In order to be saved one must be convicted, convinced and then converted. The greatest gift ever given to man came from God at no cost to man. Baptism is the door to express a portion of our responsibility. Sin comes at a cost. Knowing Jesus is the inspiration to live the good life. Once the Believer comes to know Jesus, we must pass it on. My aim is that all readers shall understand God''s will as revealed in the Bible and experience the total joy and peace in knowing, once saved always saved.
