<p>Poetry. In THE THORN all kinds of materials by David Larsen are combined and presented in the form of a first book of poetry. The resulting collection makes no disguise of its debt to Behind the State Capitol by John Wieners, the SELECTED WRITINGS OF CEDAR SIGO, and Friedrich Nietzsche's Ecce Homo, and is distinguished above all for its emotional strenuousness. Major themes include writing, divination, speech and shouting. Also featured are generous samples of the poet's handwriting, and wall drawings from his 2003 show with Marc Bell, Amy Lockhart, and Poorly Rendered editor Will Yackulic. THE THORN is designed to appeal to the reader on all levels but the sense of duty, and will be of special interest to the extremely sensitive.</p>

<p>The Bible has over 1000prophecies of the future, half of which have been fulfilled in Israeland her ancient neighbor, and in Jesus the Messiah.¿ One in four verses in the New Testamentaddresses the wrap-up of time-space history.¿From the days of the early church, believers have wrestled with themeaning of these texts.¿ While numerousbooks and monographs have dealt with some of these interpretations, we havelacked a single volume which purports to survey the whole of church history andthe various schools of thought from an evangelical perspective.¿ Writing narratively, Dr. Larsen seeks inthese 36 chapters to focus on those key thinker who have shaped opinion andconviction on matters of prophecy and The Last Things.62% of The American peopleprofess to believe in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ - more recently fueledby Y2K, staggering world crises and the "Left Behind" series of Apocalypticfiction.¿ A bewildering array ofcompetitive interpretive options confronts the inquiring student.This unique study with suggestiveend-notes and bibliographical data, can open this vastliterature to the beginner or the veteran student.¿ Beginning with an introduction to TheBiblical materials themselves, this study considers such early thinkers asAugustine, Joachim of Fiore, Martin Luther and The Anabaptists.¿ Careful attention is paid to The Puritans andContinental Pietists and to such as Isaac Newton.¿ While the thinking of John Nelson Darby isanalyzed, careful attention is given to George Ladd, John Walvoord and othersin our time like Hal Lindsey, Tim LaHaye and Billy Graham.¿ The many shades of opinion are analyzed.</p>

ST. AUGUSTINE AND THE ABDUCTIONAn Historical Novel of SuspenseIn yet another in his series of clergy mystery novels, Dr. Larsen turns here to the fascinating and towering theologian and preacher, Aurelius Augustine of Hippo in North Africa. The life of this champion of the doctrine of grace is set over against his early licentious life-style and the son Adeodatus whom his concubine of fifteen years bore to him. Now after his conversion in Milan and his subsequent return to North Africa and his bishopric in Hippo, Augustine is shattered by the apparent abduction of his son. Who has taken him and where is he? While he pursues all availble options, we learn why Augustine moved from a free choice understanding of salvation to determinism and why he shifted from historic premillennialism to birth what we know as amillennialism. The solution addresses a scenario that strict historical research cannot address.

T-Rex on Noah's Ark? Right! How did Noah feed him without being fed to him? Not only does this book address the issues of Creation and evolution from scientific and biblical perspectives, it also chronicles the author's personal journey to discover and document the remains of Noah's Ark (1997, '98, '99, 2000, '01, '03, '05) and discusses the overwhelming significance of potential discovery. For anyone educated in American schools (especially secular colleges and universities), the topics, such as those addressed below, will be both challenging and eye-opening.  Discover compelling answers to these questions:  * What if the story of dinosaurs existing millions of years ago is a myth designed to bolster belief in an evolutionary process, but completely devoid of actual evidence? * What if dinosaurs were brought onto Noah's Ark along with all other air-breathing land animals and survived a global flood? * What if the various (and varying) accounts of Ice Ages on Earth are fictitious and have spiritual roots linked to the belief in evolution? * What if the remains of Noah's Ark were found in the upper reaches of Mt. Ararat in eastern Turkey?
