Not For Every Eye

A novel of great tact and sly humour that deals with ennui in Quebec and the intellectual alienation of a disenchanted hero, Hervé Jodoin who has come to Saint Joachim to work in the town's only bookstore. The proprietor, M. Léon Chicoine, is seemingly respectable and claims to be the secret agent of free thought and liberty by keeping a collection of books that are not for every eye. However, when Jodoin sells a book by a well-known subversive author, this causes a crisis in the town that involves not jus M. Chicoine, but also the town priest and our hero's lonely landlady. This story, chosen by the Grand Jury des Lettres of Montreal as one of the ten best novels of post-war contemporary Quebec, is both touchingly comical and extremely provocative."--P. [4] of cover.

A brief, elegant, rediscovered novel of the Fifties, much in the vein of the author's mentor Muriel Spark, about an Englishwoman who misunderstands her and her family's past."

It is inexplicable that human perception about the terminal crisis, in the environmental, sociological and coexistence order among human beings, does not visualize that we are at the doors of its collapse. Moreover, it is unforgiveable that the different Christian ideological schools do not emphasize that we are at the gates of Armageddon. Also, keep in mind that all the discoveries of scientists served the best desire of man but at the cost of breaking in all orders, the balance that God established for the universe. Finally, this book emphasizes the sayings of the Lord Jesus Christ when in the trial that culminated in his crucifixion and before the high priest Caifas who asked him "if he was the Christ." He answers, "You have said it, and from now on you will see the Son of Man, sitting at the right hand of the Lamb of God and coming in the clouds of heaven" (Second Coming).

Most Christians know that Jesus Christ promised to return following his death, resurrection, and ascension to heaven. Still, our understanding of the nature of his coming can widely vary. Some believe it occurred already when the Holy Spirit descended to indwell believers on the day of Pentecost. Others understand it as a spiritual presence or a consciousness that brings Christ to earth in a mystical sense. No matter what we think or believe, it is important to know what Jesus meant when he made that promise. In a spiritual guidebook, pastor Russel Bell provides a fresh perspective on Christ’s second coming through scriptures and personal observations based on his years of Bible study in order to help both believers and nonbelievers understand this important prophecy. Using Jesus’s words and his personal views, Bell addresses how Jesus is coming, what his coming means, all the reasons why he is returning to earth, when he is coming, and the potential troubles on the horizon. Included is a list of pre-tribulational objections as well as a short study guide on the Day of the Lord. Every Eye Will See Him is an inspirational guide that provides important Christian messages and a pastor’s personal insight on the second coming of Jesus Christ. This fresh perspective should challenge your thinking and encourage you to be ready for this majestic and momentous event!
