Steven Heine

Oxford University Press, USA, 2006

Great Biographical and Literary Study
Zen master Eihei Dogen (1200-1253)has been widely acclaimed as Japan's finest religious writer. This is a major biographical study, cutting through the traditional hagiography that has clouded standard accounts of Dogen's life and writings. Heine does much to illuminate the rich and sometimes subtle contours of Dogen's intellectual and social context and the evolution of his mind. He also ...

Cork Hill Press, 2003

A Bible History for Regular Folks
This is an easy to read history of the writing of the Bible, as well as of the time periods when the writing took place. It's a great book for those of us who would like to know more about the Bible but are intimidated by the the overly scholarly or religious tomes covering the Bible.

A Must Read!
The Canticle of God the Father I read this book at a time in my life when I needed it the most. A "spiritually dead" Catholic, I benefited greatly from the inspirational messages which The Canticle of God the Father delivers. This book brought me closer to Jesus and gave me a true understanding of God's infinite mercy and love for all His children. I recommend it highly.

Arsenal Pulp Press, 2002

Great inspiration for writers of all types
Tyson and Russell, both accomplished song writers in their own right, have taken great care to compile stories from a diverse gathering of song writers, both known and unknown. The chapters, each prefaced by one of the editor's own tales, are divided up by subject, but within each chapter the reader is treated to a wide variety of tales about the birth of songs, the struggles of writing, and ...

Fascinating account of celebrity life in the 60s

He apparently had a photographic memory and he recorded the details of his life in vivid detail, recalling not only physical descriptions but verbatim dialog as well. When he wasn't working, he was usually on extended vacations, traveling to exotic locales ...
