Fifty Shades of White
Living to be Righteous Born into a cult Maxwell White believed, in his youthful vigor, that he undoubtedly lived a fully righteous life. In his early twenties, however, Max found himself excommunicated and abandon in an evil world. Like a caged bird released to the wild and with no rulebook to guide him Max was compelled to learn experientially what it meant to live a righteous life pleasing to God and to be part of His Church. Through often unseen direction Max's varying shades of perceived righteousness eventually gave way to a Spirit-led, God-given, standard most whiter than white. Founded on a single conviction that Jesus had cleansed him of his sins, Max's life morphed into a redeemed position - an adopted son of God the Father living in His Kingdom. Max's life culminates with him progressing through the time of the end, the demise of the USA and the rise of the Antichrist and being taken up at the rapture with the ingathering of the saints.

God...the Grand Illusion
God... the Grand Illusion: A Study and Guide of authentic facts regarding the extraterrestrial influence and Hebrew acceptance in creating ... God and how to live in Peace without a God.The question is this, what do we accept as the truth of what we believe in? We take many things by mere faith, but is faith the right path in putting our trust in a matter just because someone says so? Do we dig into a matter with an open mind rather than prejudice and influences from others as we were growing up? Does our relationship with others influence our perception of what is truth and what is not the truth? Do we tend to accept something as truth because we don't have time or resources to check it out? Or is it because of an emphatic speech by a cleric that proclaims the Bible is "without error" when in fact outside sources point to errors in dates, events, and even interpretation, yet we close our eyes and ears because we ask, "How can this be?" Many times the excuse is made that if so many people believe in a particular biblical statement or condition, then it can't be wrong! Or can it? Debate on biblical issues end up boggling the general populous, and many just walk away from it with disgust, won't deal with it, or dogmatically hold a position of biblical inerrancy. This brings us down to getting into the trenches of discovering the truth, as ugly and contentious it may seem. This is especially true when ufology is brought into the picture, especially when the topic of God or a God is introduced and examined in the light of various scientific disciplines.

This Town
Like Thomas Scarborough's previous book Everything, Briefly (2022), This Town, too, is a metaphysics. However, it adopts the form of a story, which ""concretizes"" abstract thought. A narrator visits a pre-modern town, where he engages with various people: an old man, a young woman, the chief, and other townsfolk. The method of ""concretization"" brings a metaphysics down to the level of teens and up--covering core issues of language, reality, ethics, politics, science, math, meaning, holism, and God (this town believes in God). The focus is primarily on how these various areas of philosophy and life may be integrated into one, harmonious whole. This Town serves as an excellent introduction not merely to philosophy, but to philosophical thought.

Even the mighty Dwelt River is reduced to a trickle, and Duchess Amelia fights to the limits of her strength just to keep her land and people from dying of thirst. There are whispers of a curse upon the land and, even, the duchess, while factions recently united behind their liege are muttering dissension. Rebellion threatens. Worse, a fresh enemy hounds the Reach and its people-horsemen of ghostly stealth who strike without warning. Using a new and unexpected form of warfare, they are unlike any knights or militia. Are they mere bandits or a new force of Redlanders? Or are they something altogether different? Assassins and spies; traitors and rebels; conspirators and opportunists; ancient curses and new enemies. The Western Reach has become a nest of serpents that threatens to devour everything Prentice and Amelia have striven to build. Yet neither will yield, not even to the blazing heat of the sun itself. After all, they have both already passed through flames to forge peace for their land. They are the Duchess and her Captain-steel, hard forged and well-tempered by suffering. They do not fear the fire.
