Both Ways

In Both Ways Edward Goble looks into the heart and life of a local minister battling temptation, success and fidelity. A pastor himself for many years, Goble brings to life a story that is full of humor, heartache, madness and grace. With the seemingly epidemic fall of popular ministers to infidelity, this is a topic that is timely and important to the church.Almond Grove, California is home to the growing Community Chapel Church and their charismatic young pastor, Madison Enright. Madison and his newlywed bride, Jill, moved to the struggling church right out of college and, after sixteen years of dedication, had forged it into one of the most exciting, fastest growing churches in the Bay Area. From all appearances, Madison had it all, but successfull ministry has a way of introducing temptations into life that can undo even the greatest among us. An old friend, Dave Bean, himself trying to discover the meaning of life and his purpose in the world, comes alongside Madison at his point of greatest need. But will Madison be able to confide in his best friend, or will he try to manage his own demons without the support of those closest to him. In Both Ways Edward Goble looks into the heart and life of a local minister, a position he held for many years, and brings to life a story that is full of humor, heartache, madness and grace. It is, on one hand, a sad story of sin and brokenness, while on the other, an encouraging message of hope and faith.

The Poetronica Scrolls

A chapbook from Nathaniel S. Rounds."If the world were a forgotten lunatic asylum, with electro-shock rooms that doubled as greasy diners, on the edge of the universe without much hope except for the ringmaster of the last circus… then Nathaniel S. Rounds would be the historian… this man may even be the ringmaster."--Phillip Vermaas, Misfits’ MiscellanyThis is my story. I'm not Merlin. But it seems that something is. Am I insane? Did it really show me a great 'Science' that would save the world? Or was it all a mad chase that would serve only to destroy my life? But I did see so many things. Everything I saw. Goddesses. Holy Grails. A giant sword of power rising from a huge stone. An incredible Being of Light. I was told to go to all of the great places. So I went where I was told... By something I could see only in dreams... And waking visions... Or that I could talk to by using a bent piece of copper rod only. Am I crazy? Have I gone insane? But when I went where I was told amazing things did happen. Even earthquakes happened sometimes. And now? Now the great revolutions are happening. Exactly like I was told they would. And all because of this 'Science' that something that is Merlin showed me. Hear my story.
