People get a little greedier everyday. They go crazy and things happen that shouldn't. Everyone loses their mind over the simplest of luxuries. So who am I to dwindle in the darkness as if I don't owe the world a little disgust? I was never normal, but nothing is ever about me, it's about money. It's about the thrill that pulses through your veins when you're about to show everyone your worth. You might lose your mind, but it's just part of the game. The city doesn't care who you are, it swallows all in its wake. Your memories will be taken under as you examine the treacherous path of a bloody mess you left behind. Everyone is the same, it's why we try so hard to be different. So pull up a stepping stool as we disappear into the formally unreachable cabinet in your kitchen to take a peek at your red soaked cash. It's time to face your chaotic yesterdays of impeccable greed.

Cameron Parmenter is the love of his mother's life. Ever since she threw his father out for cheating on her while she was pregnant and sobered up from the resulting month-long drinking binge, her entire life has been dedicated to caring for her perfect little man. Never mind that she worries he might have killed his kitten when he was a toddler. Never mind that his grandmother accused him of thievery and peeping on his own mother. And it's just fanciful imagination that her new husband thinks that Cameron killed his grandmother. Cameron Parmenter's mother won't live to see the monster her son is destined to become. When a fire kills her and Cameron's stepfather after Cameron graduates from university, the leash on Cameron's inner demon breaks and nothing can hold him back. With boundless ambition and a talent for blackmail, he knows only one field will bring him enough power and money to feed the beast inside: politics. Yet the further he follows his plan to greatness, the more blood he must shed to get there. Blackmail becomes framing, framing becomes murder-and sooner or later, some of his victims will show they are not as weak as he thinks. Extortion. Crooked politics. Murder. An unethical uranium mine. When parents ignore the signs that their children are troubled, society must deal with the psychopaths that they become. Complete at 89,000 words, INHERENT GREED combines the crime and mystery of crime fiction with the suspense and mind-bending of a psychological political thriller.

T he material in this volume is culled from over two thousand stories about Maharajji gathered during five years from more than one hundred devotees. To these devotees who shared their treasured memo ries, I wish to express my deep love and appreciation. Some of them felt that no book could or should be written about a being with qualities as vast, formless, and subtle as Maharajji’s, and yet they contributed their stories nevertheless. I honor them for this kindness and I hope that in my zeal to share experiences of Maharajji with others who were not fortu nate enough to have met him, I have not misused their trust. Some devotees tell me that stories told by other devotees are not fac tually accurate. I have no way of ascertaining the authenticity of any single story. All I can report is that those o f us who gathered the stories were impressed by the credibility of those of us who told the stories. Though the responsibility for this manuscript lies solely with me, I am delighted to acknowledge a lot o f loving help from my friends:

A beloved nun and social activist offers a soul-stirring guide for all who feel disillusioned and dissatisfied with the power-hungry institutions and systems of this world “A cri de coeur against the status quo and for a bold spirituality to fight injustice.”—The New York Times In The Time Is Now, Sister Joan Chittister—a rabble-rousing force of nature for social justice and fervent proponent of personal faith and spiritual fulfillment—draws on the wisdom of prophets, both ancient and modern, to help us confront the societal forces that oppress and silence the sacred voices among us. Pairing scriptural insights with narratives of the truth-tellers that came before us, Sister Joan offers a compelling vision for readers to combat complacency and to propel ourselves toward creating a world of justice, freedom, peace, and empowerment. For the weary, the cranky, and the fearful, this energizing message invites us to participate in a vision for a world greater than the one we find ourselves in today. This is spirituality in action; this is practical and powerful activism for our times. Praise for The Time Is Now “For decades Chittister has been a prolific author and advocate for women and social justice inside and outside the realm of the Catholic Church. Here she shares her perspective on the current state of equity, social justice, and the environment and calls on all Christians to explore the traits of prophets, many of which they can find within themselves . . . offering motivation as well as ways to accomplish change.”—Booklist “A series of short essays to encourage and refresh the spirit of activists . . . applicable to both progressive and conservative Christians. Will appeal to spiritual readers seeking an encouraging book for social justice advocacy.”—Library Journal (starred review)
