The Race is Run: An Indictment of Creedal Christianity : Vynette Holliday
This work demonstrates that the core teachings of the major denominations of Christianity such as the Virgin Conception/Birth, the Incarnation and the Trinity are not based on either the Hebrew Scriptures or the New Testament but rather are drawn from the Hellenist-Latin theologies and philosophies of the Church Fathers as expressed in the Christian Creeds formulated and formalised through the medium of the Ecumenical Councils convened between the years 325 AD and 451 AD.
Ignorance of Israelite thought, concepts, cultural norms and literary styles, together with the Fathers’ existing predilections, facilitated the creation of the cult-like figure “Jesus Christ” fashioned according to their image and their values.
This work also demonstrates that the Christian teaching of Supersessionism contributed to the centuries of Jewish persecution which ultimately led to the Holocaust. Responsibility for this descent into the abyss must be attributed in large measure to a multi-generational failure by those many teachers who either did not know, or did not distinguish between the various categories of persons designated a “Jew” in the New Testament.
In addition, the work challenges the concept of Immortal Souls, soul destinations called Heaven and Hell, and re-contextualises many other teachings and concepts such as Sin, Salvation, Atonement, Faith, Works, Justification and Grace.
Driving in Budapest : Gary V. Brill
Named “One of the Best Books of 2016” as well as a book of the month by Kirkus Reviews, who called it “elegantly written,” Driving in Budapest follows a disparate group of people who are trying to find their way through life as they try to navigate the crazy streets of one of Europe’s most intriguing capitals.
Budapest has one foot planted in the west and another just as firmly in the east. It is full of crazy taxis, crowded bridges, bully drivers and narrow streets.
From an American expat looking for some meaning to a shy librarian who has no real human contact to an ex-secret policeman who tries to bully his way through life only to find his life has been a waste and then on to an impetuous young student who hates history and the past until he learns that his own grandmother was a hero during the German siege. Just like you, they have to find their way without a map.
Come on a journey with them and escape the pandemic for a while! Check out www.gvbwrites.com for reviews and much more.
I’m available for remote book clubs through the “contact” page.
JOURNEY: The Story of an American Family by Gary V. Brill is also on Whizbuzz Books.

The Revelation Happened : Don Nordstrom
In AD 70, an ancient belief system, Mystery Babylon, caused the destruction of Jerusalem, the temple, and slaughtered millions of people. Now she has Israel surrounded again, preparing to repeat history, setting up the final judgment.
The Book of Revelation warns us of her because she is alive and well—hiding in plain sight and deceiving the world into eternal destruction.
The Revelation Happened reveals how organized religions have allowed Mystery Babylon to preach a false Christianity, and a false doctrine about the end of time.
This book also explains what the symbolism in the Bible and Revelation means, beyond doubt. Once a reader finishes this book, they will understand the Bible and book of Revelation better than the religious organizations do today.

100 Words That Should be in the Dictionary: Lingomania’s Best New Words : Ignatius Shoestring
Lingomania’s team of geniuses have scoured hundreds of new words in the Linogmania Dictionary for the BEST OF THE BEST! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to dig in and decide which words most deserve to be added to your vocabulary.
Join us on a journey to enjoy words that describe: The love of having a finger up your nose (especially in dry climates), The process of making up facts (important if you have a job in the government), A clever name for Russian hackers (try to decode this one, hackers!), talking in Star Wars quotes (remember, “Fear is the path to the dark side.”) and, singing in the shower (no judgement here).
Along the way, you’ll find out what a “Kimmick” is, why it’s dangerous to “perirhinate”, why you should avoid “tauroscat”, and whether it’s a “canophagocanic” world. Order this book now, and Ignatius Shoestring absolutely guarantees that you either will or will not:
Impress your boss,
Entertain your friends,
Slay your enemies,
Annoy your coworkers,
Out-nerd innocent bystanders.
However you wield this new weapon of words, owning this book will not be “prodigichronic” (a waste of time).
Review from Readers’ Favorite: “The first inaugural book of its type, 100 Words That Should Be In The Dictionary: Lingomania’s Best New Words is a collection of humorous pieces of wordy information written by author Ignatius Spud Shoestring. This is a dictionary-style record of the work of the Lingomania website, which is dedicated to the love of words and the emergence of new and amusing words which rate at PG or lower, and can therefore be used and enjoyed by all. In keeping with the website, the words have been invented as derivatives of previous words, and given dual or modified meanings to elevate them to the standard of Top 100 for this book. I found this to be a very entertaining read and I’m certain it would suit the coffee tables of writers, English teachers and word lovers everywhere. The term ‘lingomaniac’ itself suits the overall ethos of the tome, and its author, Ignatius Spud Shoestring, celebrates that badge with pride as each of the top one hundred words is treated to its own amusing definition and consideration. The book’s interior is engaging and eye catching to look at, making it an easy pick-me-up for anyone seeking a little laugh. I also think it achieves the purpose of directing people to its website very well to discover more of these hilarious words and get involved in the submission and invention process. Overall, 100 Words That Should Be In The Dictionary is a humorous and well-arranged work for word lovers the world over.”

Combustion : Claudius Proctus
Donald McDonald was the POTUS after running on a successful campaign to “Make America Virile Again.” This new-found virility was manifested in a mission to begin the colonization of Mars.
Meanwhile, on earth, the process of social and biological disintegration was rapidly increasing which was predicted by the theory of sociothermodynamics.
Two scientists working for the NOAA tried to warn the government of the impending disaster, but the government was focused on other issues and had no interest in governing.
As a result, social entropy reached its maximum, but as all hell was breaking loose, it became known that the POTUS expired as the result of an unusual medical condition.
