The world is full of good-hearted heathens, those who love people and those who want to do good in the world. They're not against Godâ€"they just have little use for church. Church is boring and hypocritical.  Plus, who wants to sit through a sermon every week? But while organized religion doesn't appeal to them, these heathens long for a connection to something bigger than themselves: meaning, community, mission. Pastor Jerry Herships leads a church-ish community full of good-hearted heathens. They may not love church, but they love sitting around a bar talking about what really matters and doing some good for their city's poorest residents. Herships takes that experience and absolves other former churchgoers of their guilt. No, you don't have to go to church to love and serve God. Yes, God still loves you and wants to help you love the world.

Between the fourteenth and seventeenth centuries in Spain, a large number of parodic works were produced that featured depictions of humourous, satirical, and comical saints. The Laughter of the Saints examines this rich carnivalesque tradition of parodied holy men and women and traces their influence to the anti-heroes and picaresque roots of early modern novels such as Don Quixote. The first full-length treatment of the ways in which Spanish writers imitated religious depictions of saints' lives for comic purposes, Ryan D. Giles' erudite study explores the inversion of oaths, invocations, pious legends, and liturgical devotions. Analyzing a variety of texts from Libro de buen amor, to later works such as the Celestina, Carajicomedia, Lozana andaluza, and Lazarillo de Tormes, Giles not only sheds light on Golden Age Spanish literature, but also on the origins of the comic novel. A well-argued and convincing work, The Laughter of the Saints reveals the uproarious results of the collision of official and unofficial methods of storytelling.

A nurse was gang-raped and burnt to hide the clues, this news shook me badly. The newspapers are filled with the news of abusing innocent girls. Many of them are burnt or killed after this heinous crime. Some of them live a hateful life, neither can they live nor can they die. The offenders, rapists, murderers wander free without any fear. The victims wait for justice but the system denies. To save our daughters, sisters, mothers and all the fair sex from this hateful crime I took up this work to find out the real causes of rape like crime and tried to explore the possible solutions in my poetry. There are many reasons of this crime. I have highlighted social, political, economical, psychological and educational reasons and their possible solution through my poems in simple language. I've tried my level best to infuse, imbibe and emulate my readers the proper reasons. I've made best effort to arise respect towards the fair sex and sympathy towards the victims. I studied many incidents and research papers to find out the causes and solutions of this worldwide problem and presented them in the form of short poems. My poems not only expose the reasons of this abhorrent crime but also suggest the proper solutions of the problem. It motivates the youth, girls, boys, parents, our society, the politicians, beaurocrates to respect the women as a human being and protect them and their human rights. This book presents each and every aspect beautifully, with proper emotions and expressions. I hope that after reading this book the reader will respect each and every woman and they will be always ready to protect them in adversity. It will create a society which will be rape free. Each and every person will be aware about his rights and duty towards others. The rapists and offenders will be neglected and they will be protested without any kind of partiality.
