A Fisherman's Tale
It was just another day at the beach- until it wasn't. Peter had fished the waters off Capernaum since childhood. He was the son of a fisherman, the son of a fisherman, who was the son of a fisherman. He loved his life, and he loved his wife, and then one day everything changed. Reluctantly allowing his brother Andrew to introduce him to another in a long line of possible Messiah, Peter is confronted with the question, "Are you content to spend your life catching fish or do you want to change the world?" This is his story. I've always wondered what the Jesus story looked like through Peter's eyes, so I've decided to try telling it from the fisherman's view.From my first reading of the Gospels, Peter was the Apostle that I identified with the most. A fisherman called to become a Fisher of Men. Impulsive, speaking before he thinks, and besides, I've always pictured him with a beard.Calling it the Gospel According to Peter seemed a bit presumptuous, so I settled on A Fisherman's Tale.

The Sorrows of Satan
The Sorrows of Satan (1895) is a masterpiece by Corelli's and it is a novel where her perspectives on society and religion are showcased the most clearly. What's more, is that it serves as a savage retort to her critics, who had criticized her past novel, Barabbas (1893). The novel's first pages are astonishingly gripping. Geoffrey Tempest, the narrator, draws his experience of destitution - misery that denies one of one's respect, as hunger transforms even the noblest person into a wrecked creature. As his last desire to make ends meet through journalism fails, Geoffrey is very close to ending it all when he gets a startling message from a Prince Lucio Rim璽nez. London, 1895, and Satan is at large. He is looking for somebody ethically strong enough to be able to withstand temptation, yet his chances at success seem bleak. Britain is a city of the corrupt. The aristocracy is monetarily and spiritually bankrupt; church pioneers no longer have any confidence in God; Victorian idealism has been ousted from writing and life; and sexual morality is being sabotaged by the vindictive principles of the 'New Woman'. Everything and everybody can be purchased, and it takes an extraordinarily high moral courage to oppose Satan's temptations.
