Pointless Conversations Are You Going To Heaven

Pointless conversations: a selection of daft, ridiculous and utterly pointless meanderings from the mind of Scott Tierney. If you've ever wanted to know the answers to why Superman is a coward; why Spiderman should technically be deformed; and if Superdog caused the death of Krypton, then these bite-sized comics will reveal all. The discussions may be insane, and most of what is said is rambling, but despite this, you may find yourself agreeing with most of what is said. It's a fair point: where does Spiderman store all that web?

A compassionate, shame-free guide for your darkest days “A one-of-a-kind book . . . to read for yourself or give to a struggling friend or loved one without the fear that depression and suicidal thoughts will be minimized, medicalized or over-spiritualized.”—Kay Warren, cofounder of Saddleback Church What happens when loving Jesus doesn’t cure you of depression, anxiety, or suicidal thoughts? You might be crushed by shame over your mental illness, only to be told by well-meaning Christians to “choose joy” and “pray more.” So you beg God to take away the pain, but nothing eases the ache inside. As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J. Robinson offers a healthy, practical, and shame-free guide for Christians struggling with mental illness. With unflinching honesty, Sarah shares her story of battling depression and fighting to stay alive despite toxic theology that made her afraid to seek help outside the church. Pairing her own story with scriptural insights, mental health research, and simple practices, Sarah helps you reconnect with the God who is present in our deepest anguish and discover that you are worth everything it takes to get better. Beautifully written and full of hard-won wisdom, I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die offers a path toward a rich, hope-filled life in Christ, even when healing doesn’t look like what you expect.

In Tears From Heaven; Voices From Hell capital punishment issues are discussed from the viewpoint of the victims of violent crime and from those condemned to die on America's death rows. Explore the pros and cons of this controversial issue from those who have experienced the pain first hand: victims and death row inmates.

A young man looking for his girlfriend—that’s all Nigel Renoir thought he was. He had no idea, however, that he was a son of two worlds and a vital part of three. He didn’t know how or why his journey would encompass so many different people, starting with a decorated old warrior who was trying to save a world already lost, desperately hoping to accomplish a mission that didn’t seem to matter anymore. So many lives were about to be upended: from the citizens of the United Federation of American States to a gray world where all states and countries had become the same just to survive. The things Nigel did throughout the long years would affect them all if he just could find a way to walk out of the Sand Ridge Asylum of the Criminally Insane, located on an Earth that he’d never even been born on. All he’d tried to do was find his dear Angeline, but what he wound up doing started a conflict that would come to be known as the Crossover Wars. Maybe he should’ve listened to what his old Pop was always telling him: “Folks may not always look where they’re goin’, boy, but they always gonna go where they’re lookin’ . . .”

Never before available in print, contained within are three fantastically pointless conversations from the hand of Scott Tierney. Subjects covered include Blasphemy (and plenty of it), The Matrix, Tony Hart and much more.

In the early years of the century the Blakeney children live in conditions of benign neglect at Edenhall in Somerset. Joined by the German and American branches of the family and the young Blooms from the village, they roam the hills and valleys of the Quantocks, free of supervision. Their magic circle is broken by tragedy until they discover a holy well in the woods, the eye of heaven. The boys are finally sent away to school, leaving Teddie to her painting and her sister Sidonie's disruptive presence. Sidonie is sent away in disgrace time and again and finds herself stranded in Germany in 1914. Throughout the long, hot summer of 1914, loving one man and loved by another, Teddie plays a dangerous game. The German cousins are professional soldiers. The American cousins are at Edenhall as the clouds of war gather. The Blakeney sons are keen to do their bit. Will the magic circle and precious family ties be fractured by the coming war? Can love survive the conflict?

The book is written in a conversational style. A family sitting around the table discussing the existence and nature of God: evolution and the human soul: the basis of morality; the nature of theology and religious belief; the present life versus the putative afterlife and the role of the Catholic Church. It is a very clever book and engages the reader throughout the book captivating them with the point of views between the 3 protagonist. It is a wonderful read for all those interested in Theology.
