Born Again and Beyond identifies and interacts with various theological blind spots in Evangelicalism–such as its naive rationality, its faulty understanding of the nature of both Scripture and the gospel, and its emphasis on salvation as an event rather than a process. At the same time, Born Again and Beyond recognizes the real goodness that evangelicalism has brought to the world. Whether it be caring for the outcast and underprivileged, or insisting that one can have a personal relationship with God in Christ, Evangelicalism has certainly played a key role in the advancement of the Kingdom of God in modern times. Perhaps the most destructive element of Evangelicalism has been the equating of it with the gospel itself. Like other expressions of authentic Christian faith, Evangelicalism must not regard itself as the principal locus of the gospel. Having been an Evangelical for decades, John E. Harvey comes to this discussion not as a misinformed outsider, but as one who has sympathy with the Evangelical cause.

In 'Beyond the City', the desire for money and romance drives the characters beyond the typical boundaries of their middle class Victorian lives. Lust, deceit, and financial scandals rock their placid world. The girl next door is much more than ordinary in this surprising domestic romance by Arthur Conan Doyle. A remarkable departure from his famous detective stories, 'Beyond the City' explores the relationships between the residents of three adjoining homes.

The story is told from the first person perspective of an unnamed narrator and details his experiences with a scientist named Crawford Tillinghast. Tillinghast creates an electronic device that emits a resonance wave, which stimulates an affected person’s pineal gland, thereby allowing them to perceive planes of existence outside the scope of accepted reality.

An intern in a mental hospital relates his experience with Joe Slater, an inmate who died at the facility a few weeks after being confined as a criminally insane murderer.

Артем с детства ненавидящий своё имя, развлекается рассказывая небылицы о себе в поездах. Под вымышленным именем он на ходу выдумывает себе биографию, обманывая случайных попутчиков и получая от этой бесполезной неправды выбросы адреналина в кровь. Но однажды, его ложь приводит к необратимым последствиям и он оказывается заложником безвыходной ситуации… В книге «Смех again» – много тёмной мистики. Здесь роуд-муви. Здесь Свадьбы и Похороны. Черные пальцы, выжимающие раггу из баяна. Татуировка «After death this body recovered and disposed» чуть ниже пупка. Заброшенные птицефабрики с прогнившими крышами. Здесь Дождь, остановившийся на полпути и слушающий, что ему говорят. Здесь Тот, кого боится даже безжалостный маньяк в ночном парке…

A great writing by Mark Twain based on the short story of classic humour.
