Evolution: The Novel shows how the religions of the world express the growing relationship between the recently evolved neocortex and the ancient brain that preceded it. Religions and all culture are secondary evolution as humanity learns how to use this forebrain. It's common sense that evolution was not discovered by Darwin and Wallace. Humanity has always been at work on the concept, and one of its names is religion. Religious themes must include a confrontation with evil, and this story tracks the protagonist through the Southwest as thousands of perverts follow and slander him, giving him an education in human nature he would rather not have. This "monkey troop" behavior fits well with the topic of evolution. While this book could be described as "homophobic," gay readers will find this controversial story interesting. The debate of science versus intelligent design is touched on as the existential nature of fiction makes it an excellent mode in which to address this and other subjects. Included is a look at psychology's concept of the unconscious brain from the viewpoint of evolution. For instance, survival of the fittest does not explain the human journey up through time. The human species was already surviving well enough a million years ago and didn't need this incredible brain to simply survive. The human neocortex grew "far in advance of our ability to use it," and the unconscious original brain sponsored this phenomenal growth to help itself come into existence. The ancient brain needs a more conscious companion to help create the cultures and civilizations that express its nature.

The Prisoner of San Jose, a memoir by Pierre S. Freeman, exposes the ancient mystical order of Rosæ Crucis, also known as AMORC, located in San Jose. AMORC recruited Freeman, a young engineering student in Haiti, and exposed him to twenty-four years of sustained indoctrination and mind control. Having no family or friends able to substantially help him, no exit psychologist, deprogrammer, or interventionist to guide him, Freeman methodically studied the cult experience, analyzing the mind control and hypnotic procedures that were affecting his life. The Prisoner of San Jose is about how Freeman deprograms himself and recovers the mental and emotional stability he lost twenty-four years earlier. Most importantly, the story is about hope, and how Freeman is finally able to reclaim the liberty of his own personality.

Mark Frank has been one of the most overlooked of all the Caroline divines. It is author Marianne Dorman's hope that this book will partly rectify this. Frank's sermons, with their polished style, are the high-water mark of preaching amongst the Caroline Divines in the seventeenth century. At a time when the faith of old is sometimes hard to experience, Mark Frank, who was one of many faithful priests ejected from their livings during the English Civil War, is an example of loving perseverance in the faith he cherished. This extract, preached at Easter during the Interregnum, gives a glimpse of the grief he and many others felt when the Church was dismantled. The body is the Church; and to have that taken from us, the Church, that glorious candlestick removed, and borne away we know not whither, what good soul is there that must not necessarily be perplexed at it? What way shall we take when they have taken away the pillar of truth, and should lead us in it? Whither shall we go when we know not whither that is gone, where they have laid it, or where to find it? Poor ignorant women, nay, and men, too, may well now wander in uncertainties. Mark Frank thus presents that Catholic faith lived out and preached by Frank, especially during the Cromwellian regime. We do not know where he preached, but preach he did during this time. Hopefully it will enable the reader to discover the beauty of his prose and the depth of his theological insights of the Catholic faith with all its wholeness, wonder, and worship.
