Mysterious Beauty: Living with the Paranormal in the Hudson Valley begins by providing a brief but thorough brief survey of the unique natural and cultural history of paranormal experience in the Hudson Valley region, including Native and early colonial reports. It then profiles select individuals whose lives have been touched by the paranormal, either as experiencers, investigators, or both. This isn't a book for tourists or a field guide, but rather detailed survey of individuals who, by virtue of their history and place, have become accustomed to living with extraordinary experiences and/or encounters with the paranormal. From ghosts to aliens, Bigfoot to ancient ceremonial sites, time displacements and spiritual visions, the testimony of witnesses and investigators speak of mysteries encountered in the legendary, wonderous beautiful landscapes of the Hudson Valley in New York.

The Hollywood press loved to refer to Capucine as a modern day Cinderella. She was a gorgeous French girl who had success written all over her. In Paris, she began modeling for Givenchy and Dior in the late 1940s. In the summer of 1956, Capucine was bored and decided to give New York a try. While there, she caught the eye of Charles K. Feldman, one of the most prestigious agents in Hollywood. He signed her to a contract and 'Cap' was off to California to learn English and acting. She first co-starred in "Song Without End" a film about the pianist Franz Liszt. Her second effort was a wild, gold rush adventure tale 'North To Alaska' with John Wayne. Then, with Barbara Stanwyck, she made the controversial movie "Walk On The Wild Side" shot in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Her fourth film was "The Pink Panther' with Peter Sellers, David Niven, Robert Wagner, and Claudia Cardinale. Capucine played Inspector Clouseau's cheating, scheming wife Simone. Directors loved having Capucine in their pictures because she had a fabulous sense of humor and rivaled David Niven for side-splitting practical jokes. At the same time, she was a true professional on the set. Capucine made thirty-six films and was involved in seventeen TV productions, but because of birth problems, her love life went poorly and even her best friend Audrey Hepburn couldn't save her.

In today’s world we have technology, convenience, security, and a measure of prosperity, but where is the beauty? For thousands of years, artists, sages, philosophers, and theologians have connected the beautiful and the sacred and identified art with our longing for God. Now we live in a day when convenience and practicality have largely displaced beauty as a value. The church is no exception. Even salvation is commonly viewed in a scientific and mechanistic manner and presented as a plan, system, or formula. In Beauty Will Save the World, Brian Zahnd presents the argument that this loss of beauty as a principal value has been disastrous for Western culture, and especially for the church. The full message of the beauty of the gospel has been replaced by our desires to satisfy our material needs, to empirically prove our faith, and to establish political power in our world--the exact same things that Christ was tempted with and rejected in the wilderness. Zahnd shows that by following the teachings of the Beatitudes, the church can become a viable alternative to current-day political, commercial, and religious power and can actually achieve what these powers promise to provide but fail to deliver. Using stories from the lives of St. Francis of Assisi and from his own life, he teaches us to stay on the journey to discover the kingdom of God in a fuller, richer, more beautiful, way.

Open Theists like to picture the God of classical Christian theism as a distant, despotic, micro-managing sovereign. The god of Open theism, on the other hand, is ready to enter into new experiences and to become deeply involved in helping us cope as we, with him, face things we simply did not know would happen. They insist that God has knowledge, but not all knowledge, certainly not knowledge of the future acts of free beings. Such Open theistic inferences reveal a deep-seated devotion to Enlightenment categories and narrow unpoetic imaginations.
