 | The Consuming Passion by Rodney Clapp
-- A team of leading scholars provide theological critique of the dynamics of a consumer culture. -- Provocative analysis of the intersection of consumerism and environment, religion, multiethnicity and anthropology. -- Insight on how Christians should respond to consumerism. Nothing May Influence And Affect The Faith Of Christians in the Western, developed world so much as consumerism. Theologians and biblical scholars have often pondered the dangers and the privileges of money. But few have focused on consumption as culture or a way of life, complete with its own set of attitudes, behaviors and purposes for living. The Consuming Passion does exactly that, relying on insightful theologians, psychologists, sociologists, ecologists and economists to probe beneath and better understand what makes consumer culture work -- and how people of faith might best respond.

 | Letters at Three A.M. by Michael Ventura
These hard-hitting, heart-rending pieces, collected from L.A. Weekly, cover the continent`s shadow from Brooklyn to Texas to Hollywood - & across to the shores of the Gulf War. More than comments on the 90`s scene, they chronicle a civilization in agony. As media conglomerates & `correct` academic experts dominate American discourse, Ventura`s clear, no b.s. language, his ancient Sicilian passion & his courage to speak out have become crucial to the health of the body politic. Michael Ventura`s essays brilliantly diagnose our fin-de-siecle. These concise, elegant & somehow `final` testimonies are the work of an uncompromising spirit. I was happy to share the wonder of his discoveries & felt the burden & strangeness of our generations peculiar `job` as the millennium roars to a close. --Andrei Codrescu. AUTHOR: Michael Ventura
