Sex: Baddest<br />
Sin or Goodest<br />
Pleasure<br />
by Ron Vieselmeyer<br />
The purpose of this book is to help you, the reader, enjoy physical<br />
and spiritual intimacy to its fullest. Perhaps getting to know the<br />
author will help you understand why he is so passionate about this<br />
subject. A beautifully carved eagle by an artist who won first place in<br />
international competition is mounted on a beam under the peak of<br />
the gable above the front entrance to Ron Vieselmeyer’s home. This<br />
eagle symbolizes what Ron is all about (FREEDOM). John 8:32 “The<br />
TRUTH will set you Free.”<br />
A Commentary on the<br />
Gospel of John<br />
by Stanley Polski<br />
A Commentary on the Gospel of John is an exciting, startling new<br />
study by a lay philosopher who may be described as “an uncommon<br />
common man.” Though detailed and scholarly, his work is excitingly<br />
readable for every seeker of insights. And isn’t that all of us? His<br />
writing provides a fresh, provocative, yet reverent look at Jesus as he<br />
is revealed through John’s writings and the author’s interpretation.<br />
The author quotes the Gospel of John a few verses at a time-and<br />
then explores these quotations with a commentary: though deeply<br />
religious he manages to relate them to world leaders and politicians<br />
against the backdrop of the classic philosophers. Some of his views are<br />
outrageous, but he provides a touchstone that believers, seekers, and<br />
doubters may use as a basis for their own religious journeys. This is a<br />
book valuable for both the secular and religious communities.<br />
