If I went on the Titanic, I would die. If I didn't go the Titanic disaster would never happen and millions would die as a result - and I would never be born because that would kill my grandfather. You're probably confused. I was, but when you are time travelling, ...

Who was Jesus? A bishop recently used His biography to illustrate a good theological point when he described Him as 'an uneducated man from Nazareth, son of a poor carpenter named Joseph who preached in several synagogues'.The implication is that all the wisdom Jesus exhibits comes from God who would surely have informed Him of modern technology, whereas Jesus clearly demonstrates a detailed knowledge of Alexandrine philosophy. Then why would a poor carpenter make a long journey to...

My name is Frank Baker. My story takes place in that part of the South, where you have the hindlick maneuver and say doodie instead of duty. You have light doodie, heavy doodie, and super doodie; with the use of each you make a joke; where intellectualizing may employ a complicated term such as Topsy Turvy, or Incite, pronounced excite, as in excite a riot, or Substantial pronounced sustantial; where, if something is as good as shit, or goodern shit, it's good; where it's good to be "The S...

There are some things an author is not supposed to do. One of them is to start with a purple prose opening line of "It was a dark and stormy night." Another is to make the subtitle on the cover bigger than the title. In this very short story I set out to make all the author mistakes I could think of just to see if I could use them and still entertain.I suppose I should tell you a bit about the story? Well this is the first story of a series which tells how I became a time traveller....

Although it was unusual for a great deal of inside knowledge to be obtained from the Japanese side, most attention has always been paid on the German side to the roles played by representatives of the German Army in Japan. This book, supported by extensive notes and a bibliograph...

Ordinarily a book like this should take its name from the first chapter of its contents. But Peter is such a favorite of mine that I take the liberty of writing his name at the top of the page. Next to the Lord Jesus, of all whose names are mentioned in the New Testament, I long to see Peter. The sermons are sent forth with the great desire that they may be for His glory, "whom having not seen," I have loved. They have been kindly spoken of in many cities. That they may in some little way ...
