Who is Going to Heaven and What About Hell?

Have you ever wondered about the afterlife? Whether or not there is one and if there is, just what it might be like?My Christian journey began when I was 26 years old and I was full of questions.As I studied the Bible, the issue of the afterlife started to become very important to me.Who is going to heaven? Is it just for Christians? What about hell? Is it real? Is it forever? I needed to know.I travelled down a number of Christian paths, looking for answers and soon discovered that there were different points of view to these questions.I then made the decision that the Scriptures and the Scriptures alone would be the foundation of my beliefs. I also decided to work from the New International Version because I consider it to be the most reliable translation.I searched the Scriptures thoroughly and in the process I also made the commitment that I would be completely honest during this process and not try to ‘tweak’ them along any preconceived or preferred directions. If I didn’t like what I discovered, then so be it. God and I would work it out.I am delighted with my conclusions and would like to share them with you.I would like to shout them from the rooftops, but this book will need to suffice.

Chocolate Crackle Saturdays

The eighties were a totally rad time when denim was acceptable on both top and bottom. Hair gel wasn’t for neatness, but gravity defying style. Neon pink and blue were coupled together like vanilla ice cream and Ice Magic. The beige station wagon was the only vehicle for road trips and dingy motels were well rated. Eight-bit video games were new and thrilling, while movies were big and brave. McDonald's was part of the weekly diet and Pizza Hut reigned supreme. We loved it all, especially on Saturdays when chocolate crackles fuelled every Nintendo session and BMX adventure.Join JP Pelosi as he fires up the DeLorean to whiz us back to the nexus of contemporary pop culture - the 1980s. Madonna, Pac-Man, Knight Rider, Chicken McNuggets, the video store and the Sony Walkman. It's all here, brought back to life in this nostalgic memoir about childhood joys, family life and the thrill of a perfect Saturday afternoon riding skateboards and trading football cards.So, slip on your shutter shades, gang, pull up a Garfield-themed beanbag and let's relive the greatest decade ever!

In Search of the Lost Eros

In Search of the Lost Eros is a meditation on love and its challenges in our modern times. This book pairs literary and philosophical quotations from many renowned authors with the author’s own reflections trying to create a framework for contemplation on the predicament of love today.What is love, really? What is the cosmic Eros that ‘moves the sun and the other stars’? Is this the same love that forms the essence of our deepest being? Is falling in love a form of madness? Is love blind or visionary? Does it inevitably cause suffering? And what about marriage – must we stay together at all costs until death do us part? What are the challenges of sexuality today? What distinguishes erotic art from pornography?These are some of the questions this essay seeks to explore, offering answers that are necessarily incomplete, while hoping to inspire readers to gain their own insights into these inexhaustible topics.Mystics of the major spiritual traditions have always maintained that our spiritual essence is love and that we ultimately cannot lose it. Yet, many modern individuals feel that genuine love is missing from their lives. This book aims to make a modest contribution to rediscovering some of the lost Eros that we all so ardently long for.
