About this ebook
Neighbors struggle with questions of faith, morality, and the social order in Winter Dreams, a two-act play that could take place in any small town in America. When a child preacher stirs up old drama and rivalries, more questions than answers arise. Is he really the voice of God, or are other forces at work?
The New Odyssey explores a darker future for humanity. In 1999as the flames of the disastrous Third World War cool, and the fourth apocalyptic global war loomsa college professor summons Hesiod, Homer, and Shakespeare. He argues passionately to enlist their help in a bold plan to save humanity from its eventual destructionat the hand of womankind. If he can get these three minds from humanitys past in on his scheme, there may be hope for mankinds future yet.
