John 21 portrays seven disciples fishing all night yet catching nothing. In the morning, a shoreline stranger instructs them to recast their net. Surprisingly, the disciples fail to recognize him. After a miraculous catch and subsequent breakfast, however, there is no doubt as to who this stranger is. Jesus then questions Peter about his love and commissions him to feed Jesus' sheep. Using narrative criticism, Lowdermilk examines this recognition scene, asking, "How would a reader, well acquainted with recognition and deception as portrayed in Genesis, understand John 21?" He discards "trickster" terminology and argues that biblical recognition occurs within a context of "manipulation." After proposing a detailed taxonomy of manipulation, he ventures further and argues for patterns in Genesis where manipulators are "counter-manipulated" in a reciprocal manner, ironically similar to their own behavior, providing a transforming effect on the manipulator. These findings, plus a careful examination of Greek diminutives, inform Lowdermilk's new reading of John 21:1-19. Peter withholds his identity as a disciple in John 18 and later Jesus actively withholds his identity in ironic counter-manipulation, mirroring Peter's denials. Jesus' threefold questioning of Peter continues the haunting echoes of Peter's earlier denials. Will it result in a disciple transformed?

In this study, the author defines play as a free and voluntary activity that occurs in a pure space, isolated and protected from the rest of life.

This book is in great demand by baseball enthusiasts. Having been connected with every department of the game from player to magnate, Mr. Spalding has contributed a very important work to the game's history. As the invincible pitcher of the Boston Club, previous to the formation of the National League, his book of so many pages is an interesting record of events dating from the beginning of the great American pastime. It is not exactly a history of the game, but deals largely with incidents during the author's career, who was a player in the late 1860s and early 1870s, and helped organize the National League in 1876. One chapter, devoted to sundry topics, gives an account of the sale of the immortal "King Kelly," the original "$10,000 beauty," by Chicago to the Boston Club in the late 1880s. Other Chapters are devoted to the literature of the game, quoting several instances of the baseball paragrapher's art and also specimens of the distinct poetry of the pastime, of which "Casey at the Bat" is probably the most widely known. The Cincinnati Red Stockings Mr. Spalding gives credit as being the pioneer professional organization. It was not, however, until 1871 that professional baseball playing, as recognized today, was instituted. Mr. Spalding shows how cricket could not do for Americans. He says it is suitable for the British temperament, but not for the Yankee hustling spirit. He also tells how he worked into the game through a one-handed catch when a small boy. To lovers of baseball, whose name is legion, and whose number increases yearly, this book comprises in itself a whole library of useful information.

"All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world." Buddah Certainty for Uncertainty is a powerful collection of undisputed facts that have the capacity to enhance our spiritual thoughts and expand our awareness of the reality of God's existence and the true presence of the human Soul. Certainty from Uncertainty examines the words and thoughts of many of the world's greatest philosophers, scientists, intellectuals, and metaphysicians and develops through their thoughts a compelling argument for the existence of God, the Soul, and the evolution of the human Soul to Omega Consciousness (a state of human consciousness in which the consciousness of God and humankind are identical). Dr. Prato takes the reader for a hand-in-hand walk with the world's greatest thinkers and intellectuals. Without a preaching to the choir tone, he appeals to skeptics and believers alike, presenting compelling evidence of God's existence from many of the brightest minds in our history outside the religious realm. What were the spiritual thoughts of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle; of renowned scientists such as Charles Darwin, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, Henry Margenau, and many others nearly all Nobel Prize winners? What thoughts of God did Baruch Spinoza, Wilhelm Liebniz, Larry Dossey and David Bohm have in common? Does the history of the thoughts of these profound thinkers allow us to understand how they came to a near-identical belief in the Universal Presence? How do their thoughts coincide with the thoughts of the Prophet David when he wrote his timeless 23rd Psalm? Certainty From Uncertainty raises the veil on these magnificent intuitive connections. Of Certainty From Uncertainty Larry Dossey, M.D., author of Healing Words and Recovering the Soul says: The great task of a lifetime is to find our way to the Absolute or God, however conceived. This "spiritual text" is a guide for our time, which many people who are engaged in spiritual work will find immensely helpful. Peter Prato shows us there is a final common pathway uniting science, spirituality and healing. His message is about unity, which our age desperately needs to recover. Certainty From Uncertainty leads us through these esoteric thoughts, filled with mystery and wonder, into the realm of the miracle and the near-death experience, then to Omega Consciousness--a state of being where humans become fully integrated with the consciousness of God.
