God created the heavens and the Earth: the physical world and the spiritual world. The human being lives in both, although the latter is often far harder to understand than the former. This book presents an imaginative and fallible attempt to understand this world. It touches on issues such as demons, the creation of man, the difference in the genders, the vocations of human beings, paganism, witchcraft, and the spiritual architecture behind the physical world. The book itself could be considered as a work of Christian anthropology, because it tries to explain the human being in relation to God.

The modern world is riven with tensions and conflicts regarding contradicting claims over territories, fueled by ideology, nationalism and patriotic narratives. Wars and conflicts have spiritual dimensions to them that can sometimes be hidden. This book looks at the current political crises and tensions burning through the world from a spiritual perspective. It includes an imaginative interpretation of the signs of the times, and covers topics including war, nationalism, abortion, sin, revelation, Marian apparitions, Confucian philosophy, private property, natural law and the role of states in human civilization. It also explores how to use natural law to show how ownership of territories can be justly relegated to different states, using an analysis of a number of modern and historical cases.

""I have tried to put together a collection of poems that will allow for reflection. They will certainly make you think. Hopefully there will be those that will lift your mood, although a few are quite emotional and might bring you to tears. I make no apology for that, it is how poetry interacts with the soul. That said there are a couple of these rhymes that I very much hope will make you laugh. It is my wish, that you will enjoy reading these poems of mine and revisit them time after time.""

At the time of Norway's original conversion to Christianity, two missionaries stumble upon the spiritual lesson of a lifetime. The missionaries find themselves in the company of a wise old man, who was one of the original converts to Christianity in Norway. In the form of an intelligent Socratic dialogue, the three men converse about ideas the missionaries had never before considered. The dialogue that unfolds goes deeply into exploring human sinfulness, judgment, and moral precepts. As the old man tries to explain to his audience, right and wrong - as purported to be from God's eyes - is not a true judgment, but only a mere imitation of people. The men slowly open up themselves to life-changing revelations. A deeply theological work, The Knowledge of Good and Evil may bring readers, even if they do not understand the main thesis, to a greater understanding of the law, judgment, punishment and morality, while revealing God's love through all of them. David Murdoch is a convert to the Roman Catholic faith and the author of the novel Ana Markovic. In addition to being a writer, he is also a historical researcher and a part-time taste tester for a large grocery store chain. He lives in Toronto, Canada.

This simple book will answer questions you may have always wondered about. For those of you who have always known there was more, this may be the key of David to open the lock in your mind. Once this hurdle is crossed, the entire Bible will become a living thing to you. For you see, "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God and the Word became flesh and dwells among us."
