The Gravedigger File: Papers on the Subversion of the Modern Church

2 reviews
Os Guinness

Intervarsity Pr, 1983

Funny, Thoughtful, Provocative, and Enlightening
Os Guinness, in this work, presents the Church in America and the problems that beset it. All written in a series of communiques from the enemy "Directorate." It has the same feel of The Screwtape Letters, and a fascinating idea of the way of the "Third Fool" as being the way to break through the present-day irrelevance, bickering, factionalism, marketing, and paranoia that are strangling the ...

Joseph Hansen

Henry Holt & Co (P), 1985

The Best Gets Better With Every Book
This is book number six in Hansen's acclaimed series of Dave Brandstetter mysteries. Brandstetter is the tough, no nonsense but highly cosmopolitan insurance claims adjuster in southern California who loves a good martini, listens to string quartets, and solves complicated murders. In this outing a young woman is missing and believed murdered by the crazed leader of a sex cult. Her father has ...

Joyce Carol Oates

Ecco, 2007

couldn't put it down
Yes, I know that's the worst sort of cliche, but it's also true. This is the first Oates novel I have ever read, and it was hard to put down. I can't give a book higher praise than that. Maybe not to everyone's taste, but if this is your cup of tea, it's terrific.

Immanuel Velikovsky

William Morrow & Co, 1983

Academic witch-hunt of the century
This book outlines what will probably, in future times, be regarded as about the worst example of scientific suppression ever to take place. After being vetted and passed by a number of scientists, Velikovsky's first book (Worlds in Collision) became a bestseller overnight. No sooner had it been released however than a group of scientists, led by Professor Harlow Shapley of Harvard, threatened ...

Schopenhauer's Telescope: A Novel

12 reviews
Gerald Donovan

Counterpoint, 2004

Evil in history from both ends of the telescope
Gerard Donovan's debut novel "Schopenhauer's Telescope (ST)" is an impressive literary work of fiction that was longlisted for the Booker Prize. Set somewhere unidentified in Eastern Europe, the smell of death, destruction and ethnic cleansing permeates the air from its opening pages. You know something evil is about to happen and shortly - the chapters are structured by the hours of a day - but ...

Large collection of Gahan Wilson's wonderfully weird cartoons. It includes the entire contents of two previously published works: Gravedigger's Party and Monster Party. Nice reproductions with an introduction by Wilson and a brief "about the author" page.

Joseph Hansen

Quality Paperback Book Club, 1992

Three of Hansen's Most Memorable Titles
At one time The Los Angels Times described Joseph Hansen (1923-2004) as "the most exciting and effective writer of the classic California private-eye novel working today." Hansen's best-known works are a series of twelve novels written between 1970 and 1992 that feature insurance claims investigator Dave Brandstetter, a tough, no-nonsense detective--who also happens to be homosexual and is ...

His wife Carlota died during childbirth, and Rodrigo misses and remembers her through a slow, painful trickle of grief.

Phyllis Schlafly, Rear Admiral US Navy Chester Ward

Pere Marquette Press, 1964

Peace through strength or militay disarmament?
Good read. Phyllis Schlafly and Chester Ward make the case for peace through strength. This expose of Kennedy-Johnson-McNamara's 1964 plans to weaken the military through funding cuts calls attention to the same voices we are hearing today. The title "Gravediggers" describes those who are actually helping dig our grave for the enemies who would kill America and our freedom. How? by disarming our ...
