Since Harry released his memoir it looks like my new novel, Am I Alone In The World? has no chance of being #1.

AM I ALONE IN THE WORLD? is a cleverly written story that engages the reader at several levels. It’s a provocative, mind-bending novel about existence in a world filled with uncertainty. As the story unfolds, the main character “I” finds him or herself alone, struggling to make sense of a planet in disarray. Much to the character’s good fortune, a library is discovered that allows “I” to revel in the thoughts and lives of others throughout history. This mysterious setting serves as a vehicle to transport “I” (and the reader) into imaginary worlds filled with enchantment and meaning. It’s a formula where possible worlds of all types can be explored. This engaging style pulls the reader right into the struggle of the “I” in all of us. I highly recommend this book for its entertainment value and also the underlying philosophical thread that provokes deeper thought.

Am I Alone In The World?
I experienced a fair amount of anxiety and plenty of melancholic moments writing this new novel. The feeling of possibly being alone in the world and all the questions that raised, inside the story, started to freak me out. Uncertainty about the present and the future of the Earth and humanity due to climate chaos and other serious threats, as recounted in the book, made me realize to an even greater degree my own precarity, outside of it.

Thoughts and New Novel - Am I Alone In The World?
Over the years many of us may have experienced a hermeneutical change of perspective concerning God and the biblical stories. Does God really exist and do the biblical accounts offer a reliable representation of God? When it comes to such questions, responses can often hang in the balance, fluctuating between the ‘possible’ and the ‘impossible.’ Perhaps, this is as it should be. Who knows? By the way, that question is a constant refrain in my new novel, Am I Alone In The World? You gotta read this one and please give me feedback if you do.

Or is it already too late? You gotta read this one!

Living Imagination
What’s your take on imagination? Do you see it as opening up creative possibilities or fraught with dangerous fantasies? If you’re interested in how various poets, philosophers, and theologians over many centuries have pictured this mysterious, yet essential part of being human and what my assessment is, check out this book, now 60% off, Living Imagination. Who am I and What is Real?

Reflection for the Week - October 4
Evolution seems to pose significant problems for traditional interpretations of early Genesis (literal six days creation, A&E, fall, etc.). Instead of trying to fit God in, it’s probably a good move to take God out of evolution. What to believe about God will then have to be considered without including God in nature. Such a move and its effects on developing belief will be challenging and place some ancient pictures of God and the world in jeopardy. The biblical writers, for example, know very little about nature and thus describe God and creation from their own quite limited context, whereas in our contemporary setting we know bits and pieces more. I’d wager we need a new plot to the story; one that negotiates a complicated alliance between science and theology where both have a voice, sometimes louder, sometimes softer, depending on the subject matter at hand.
