In Search of Faith, and other Responsibilities is the journal of an aspirant pilgrim making his stubborn way along the Camino de Santiago, attempting to find as many selves as he can.Trying to figure out exactly what it means to be a pilgrim and how to go about discovering faith while beset with neurosis the author recounts his thoughts and encounters, internal monologues and occasional hallucinations. The epistles of Saint Paul provide him with a number of elaborate, if not entirely substantive, theological reflections. Eventually, somehow, his cemetery to cemetery account beginning as an ambitious (and self-admittedly vain) attempt to capture the essence of faith leads to an enlightening obsession with death and provides the reader with an insight into the joy, revelation and loneliness of walking the Camino de Santiago.Travelling on foot through the vineyards of France, over the Pyrenees and across the plains of northern Spain a number of encounters gradually mould the author''s idea of what it means to walk the Way of Saint James, and more than that, what it means to be part of a single idea. The way. A no-man''s land of pilgrims that turns out to be a lot more conventional than it seems, though even more enlightening.In Search of Faith, and other Responsibilities is the story of an optimistic struggle against cynicism and an attempt to challenge the absurdity of our lives.

"And at this point, it''s the other side that has the burden of proof on their hands. The other side...Someone needs to come to me, and explain to me what Jordan is better at than LeBron without saying the words, ''Six Rings.''" - Nick WrightG.O.A.T. Envy is a direct response to Nick Wright''s challenge.Michael Jordan or LeBron James? Which one is the G.O.A.T.--the Greatest Basketball Player of All Time? "G.O.A.T. Envy: An Analysis of the Role Fan Narrative Plays in the Debate Over Which #23 is the Greatest Basketball Player of All Time" gives readers a fresh take on the GOAT debate. Michael Fry''s GOAT Envy Comparison Analysis measures both data and context in the comparison between Michael Jordan and LeBron James. In the book, he analyzes the role that fan narratives play in the debate, and the effects sports talk shows and social media have on the opinions formed by fans.In the book, Fry details how Wright''s challenge became a dare, and how the debate became a journey. He ponders how the debate might become fun again--if it''s a "field" where both the "romance of times gone by" and "being a prisoner of the moment" can coexist. And his hope is that when fans take part in the debate going forward, that they will strive to be more "like Frank," instead of "that guy."G.O.A.T. Envy is a book about the debate, but also something more. It''s a book about sports. It''s a book about life. In it, Fry weaves his own story. He explains how he set out to prove which fan base has the best GOAT case, and which one has what he calls, "GOAT Envy." But along the journey he learns lessons that urge him to re-examine the narratives in his own life, and help him come to some surprising conclusions.
