The Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis

Image
http://www.samizdat.qc.ca/arts/lit/PDFs/ScrewtapeLetters_CSL.pdf The Screwtape Letters  by C.S.  Lewis is a classic masterpiece of religious satire that entertains readers with its sly and ironic portrayal of human life and foibles from the vantage point of Screwtape, a highly placed assistant to "Our Father Below." At once wildly comic, deadly serious, and strikingly original, C.S. Lewis's  The Screwtape Letters  is the most engaging account of temptation—and triumph over it—ever written.

Love in the Holy Quran by H.R. Prince Ghazi Bin Muhammad

Image
http://www.altafsir.com/BookDownloader.asp?Language=2 This book was originally a widely-acclaimed PhD thesis at Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Egypt. In it, the author treats, in a simple and accessible style with reader-friendly and teaching-friendly features, not only of love of God and love of the neighbour, but also of family love; friendship; the stages of falling in love; sexual love; extra-marital love; beauty; taste and much more, all based entirely on the Holy Qur’an. At least one verse from every chapter—and over one fifth of the total text—of the Holy Qur’an is cited. It is written and structured both to be read in its totality or as individual ‘stand-alone’ chapters to be sampled at will. This work is thus essential reading not only for Muslims and those interested in Islam and the Holy Qur’an, but for all those interested in the secrets and mysteries of love as such.

Debt - Updated and Expanded: The First 5,000 Years

Image
https://libcom.org/files/__Debt__The_First_5_000_Years.pdf  (eBook) http://www.unwelcomeguests.net/archive/audiobooks/Debt,%20The%20First%205000%20Years/Debt,%20The%20First%205000%20Years.zip  (Audio Book) Here anthropologist David Graeber presents a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom: he shows that before there was money, there was debt. For more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell goods—that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. It is in this era, Graeber argues, that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors. Graeber shows that arguments about debt and debt forgiveness have been at the center of political debates from Italy to China, as well as sparking innumerable insurrections. He also brilliantly demonstrates that the language of the ancient works of law and religion (words like “guilt,” “sin,” and “redemption”) derive in larg...
