Book Description

Pitched somewhere between Almost Famous and Withnail & I, Apathy for the Devil is a unique document of this most fascinating and troubling of decades - a story of inspiration, success and serious burn out. As a 20-something college dropout Nick Kent's first five interviews as a young writer were with the MC5, Captain Beefheart, The Grateful Dead, Iggy Pop and Lou Reed. Along with Charles Shaar Murray and Ian MacDonald he would go on to define and establish the NME as the home of serious music writing. And as apprentice to Lester Bangs, boyfriend of Chrissie Hynde, confidant of Iggy Pop, trusted scribe for Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones, and early member of the Sex Pistols, he was witness to both the beautiful and the damned of this turbulent decade.

Book Description

Consider all the terrible suffering imposed upon slaves held in bondage by power-driven dictators, tyrants, slave masters, wicked kings and magistrates. Surely Satan is behind those terrible acts and the countless deaths, pain and suffering imposed by wicked men upon others. Knowing that Satan rules in hell, it is reasonable to suppose that one who ends up in hell will find himself under Satan’s power and/or that of other devils. This book is intended to alert its readers to the belief that Satan will likely continue to impose bondage and slavery on those who find themselves under his power. Free agency will not be practiced there. You will not be the one in control in hell. You will suffer. You will be miserable. Horror, misery, terror and woe can be expected in hell. Free agency, love, peace, happiness and joy will not be practiced there.

Book Description

Joseph Sguigna researched the subject of evil in relation to psychopathy for sixteen years, and his book Of Pathics and Evil: A Philosophy Against Malice, is the culmination of that research. Mr. Sguigna's insightful approach to the subject of psychopathy differs from all other books on the subject from four standpoints: (1) it is a compilation of personal accounts from psychopaths themselves and from their victims; (2) he has cleared up the frustrating problem of distinguishing the differences between the psychopath, the sociopath, the narcissist, and the psychotic; (3) he has consolidated these four terms under the inclusive term "pathics"; (4) he has brought to the foreground an awareness of pathic behavior in both women and children, which has been mostly in the background of (psycho) pathic studies; and (5) he explores the phenomenon of the pathic character in relation to human evil through an extensive compilation of quotations by eminent persons on the subject of evil as inherent to human nature.

Book Description

'It is not our struggle to be happy that is mistaken; it is our false idea that we can find happiness anywhere but in ourselves... happiness does not depend on outward things. It is born of the mind, it is nourished by the mind, it is what rises, like breath in a frosty air, from the mind's wrestling with its fate...' The Art of Happiness (first published in 1935) belongs to John Cowper Powys's sequence of philosophical writings, and finds him exploring the problem of how man lives with his fellow man, and also with woman - that is to say, here, as opposed to the abstract arguments concerning Man in the universe, Powys is concerned with the practical arguments such as arise between man and his neighbour, his wife, his lover - and also with man's arguments against himself, all in the pursuit of happiness. The careful reader will find herein hints, clues, intimations, as to how we all might become a little happier - an invitation few of us would feel so fortunate as to refuse.

Book Description

Most people in the world believe in God, a supernatural being who created the universe and bestows nothing but benevolence on humanity. Yet daily, we experience life-threatening conditions such as crimes, disasters, accidents, and sicknesses. Does God secretly possess evil within his nature, or is there another being in the universe whose sole purpose is to inspire mayhem in people's lives? God proclaimed that the latter is true, and his name is Satan-the Devil. He is treacherously evil, dangerously deceptive, and seeks to covertly control everything within our world. In his book, The Devil in Modern Eden, author Tom Graneau reveals how the Devil scours the earth looking for people to victimize. He is the architect behind political unrest between nations that results in war; the mastermind behind the corruption in politics, religion, and corporations; the manipulator of injustice; and the instigator of various crimes in our schools, cities, and even our homes. No one-Christian or non-Christian-is protected from his evil intentions. Will you survive the Devil's pernicious attacks in this life and make it to heaven in the next? That depends on how well you can evade his deceptive tactics to control your destiny. The Devil in Modern Eden not only exposes Satan's diabolical schemes in our world, but also shows how you can defend yourself against the most dangerous personality in the universe.
