Knockemstiff


Book Description

"More engaging than any new fiction in years." —Chuck Palahniuk An unforgettable work of fiction that peers into the soul of a tough Midwestern American town to reveal the sad, stunted but resilient lives of its residents. Knockemstiff is a genuine entry into the literature of place. Spanning a period from the mid-sixties to the late nineties, the linked stories that comprise Knockemstiff feature a cast of recurring characters who are irresistibly, undeniably real. A father pumps his son full of steroids so he can vicariously relive his days as a perpetual runner-up body builder. A psychotic rural recluse comes upon two siblings committing incest and feels compelled to take action. Donald Ray Pollock presents his characters and the sordid goings-on with a stern intelligence, a bracing absence of value judgments, and a refreshingly dark sense of bottom-dog humor.







Ministry of Provident Peterson


Book Description

Know your Bible! It is the most important book in the life of a Christian, and yet since its inception centuries ago, not one single Christian has seen in it, the need, or possibility for change that might benefit all who read it. Think of it this way: the people who created the Bible were pressed for time. It was godsend for them to have just the right king at the right time, and knowing that the average life span for most people was short, they wanted to complete their work on the Bible while King James was still alive, because if he were to die before they were finished, his successor might cause them to abandon the project. They chose to concentrate on content, and not so much on order, perhaps hoping that one day in the future, someone would see the possibility of beneficial changes that could be made to their work, and make harmless improvements to the order of the books, and a more thorough investigation of the texts for the uneducated masses to understand. I am here!
