SEVEN THOUSAND WAYS TO LISTEN
NEPO, MARK
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Written in Nepo’s beautiful, lyrical style, Seven Thousand Ways to Listen traces the story of his own hearing loss
while unfolding a deeper understanding of how to listen to the world around us and to honor its connections to
our internal life and callings. A moving exploration of self and our relationship to others, the book unpacks the
many ways we are called to redefine ourselves and to name what is meaningful as we move through the
changes that come from experience and aging and the challenge of surviving loss. “Listening is the way we
befriend the life we’re given,” Nepo writes, and he has structured the book around three lasting friendships: our
friendship with wisdom, with experience, and with each other. By listening and tending to each, he explains, we
can awaken to life and restore our vitality.

God the Holy Spirit. Now C. Baxter Kruger's THE SHACK REVISITED guides readers into a deeper
understanding of these three persons to help readers have a more profound connection with the core message

SHAKESPEARE'S TREMOR AND ORWELL'S COUGH
ROSS, JOHN J.
Were Shakespeare's shaky handwriting, his obsession with venereal disease, and his premature retirement
connected? Did John Milton go blind from his propaganda work for Oliver Cromwell, or did he have a rare and
devastating complication of a very common eye problem? Did Jonathan Swift's preoccupation with sex and filth
result from a neurological condition that might also explain his late-life surge in creativity? Were Herman
Melville's disabling attacks of eye and back pain the product of nervous affections, or did he actually have a
malady that was unknown to medical science until well after his death? Was Jack London a suicide, or was his
death the product of a series of self-induced medical misadventures? Did James Joyce need several horrific eye
operations because of a strange autoimmune disease acquired from a Dublin streetwalker?
