Two New eBooks From The Late Ron Miller

 
LOS ANGELES - May 21, 2013 - PRLog -- In the spring of 2011, Ron was busy preparing for the release of his first two self-published books, Unpacking the Parables and William James’ Revolution. The freshly printed books from Adam’s Press arrived at his Lake Forest College office the day after he died in May of 2011; he never got to hold them. He also never had the chance to convert his final two works into eBooks, as he had planned on doing.

Today, we’re proud to announce that Ron’s Miller’s World Publishing has made both books available in all of the major eBook stores, including Amazon’s Kindle store, Apple’s iBookstore and Barnes & Noble’s Nook store. If you’re interested in a free preview or to purchase, simply visit the eBook store on your phone, tablet or eReader.

Unpacking the Parables: The Wisdom Teachings of Jesus
What is a parable and why is it such an effective teaching method? What do we learn about Jesus as a teacher and about his message from these parables? When the Gospel of Thomas was discovered in the sands of Egypt some sixty years ago, an earthquake hit New Testament scholarship. Evidence that Thomas might be earlier than the four gospels opened up some new doors. The author entered one of those doors in writing this book. He used Thomas’ version of a parable whenever that existed. And the Jesus discovered through this method might surprise you.

William James’ Revolution: A New Perspective on “The Varieties of Religious Experience”
When it was first published in 1902, The Varieties of Religious Experience caused a revolution, a quantum leap, a paradigm shift. James opened the door to the scientific study of religious experience, probing the relationship between religion and psychology. This classic text by William James should be required reading for anyone wanting to study religion. But years of college teaching convinced the author that this is a daunting read for most undergraduate students, and even for some older adults. Ron parsed sections of James’ text and provides commentary and insight on each one throughout this must-read book, thus opening the world of James like never before.
