Bøger af Gary Morgenstein

Tired of ordering in Thai food and watching a Netflix on Saturday nights? Don't despair. Finding true love isn't impossible as long as you view the entire world as one big singles bar. Walking your dog, practicing yoga, riding mass transit, buying a book, even visiting a friend in the hospital can lead to the woman of your dreams. Critically-acclaimed novelist/playwright Gary Morgenstein provides the romantic roadmap! Using his own battle-scarred experiences as a divorced man along with many years "spinning" as a public relations specialist, Morgenstein takes men (and women eager to go inside the mind of a guy) on a step-by-step comic and erotic guide to love and sex. From making eye contact, dazzling opening lines, online etiquette, younger and older women and how to conduct yourself on a date to what goes into a successful relationship (in and out of the bedroom), How to Find a Woman...Or Not is a riotous, poignant and indispensable blueprint for passion and commitment

Welcome to the human history you didn't know. A history which the governments of the world don't want you to learn, where humans were pawns of an advanced extraterrestrial race which reshaped our evolutionary cycle through inter-breeding, science and technology. All of us have their DNA. Thirty thousand years ago, two great ancient alien civilizations, the Marradians and the Anunnaki, lived in peace. As much peace as two rivals could muster carving up the Galaxy. Living on the planet Nibiru, they were cousins before the Great Parting, a brutal war fueled by the Anunnaki's insistence that inferior life forms, if gently guided, could thrive in their own endemic image, while Marradians only believed in fealty, the boot and the death stick, or S'ar.The Anunnaki who had visited Earth thousands of years ago were impossibly handsome. They were considered Gods among the ancient Sumerians, and are mentioned in the Bible as the Nephilim - The Fallen Angels. The Marradians are not all that handsome, but they look human and intermingle easily with us.The Anunnaki do not currently live on Earth. The Marradians, on the other hand, have created stations on Earth. Many of them lived here, mostly underwater, for thousands of years. In their minds, the Marradians own the Earth, and the humans are interlopers. They have bases underwater, in the Pacific, near Puerto Rico, and under Alaska's glaciers. The objects we call USO (Unidentified Submerged Objects) are their dangerous crafts.This is just a sliver of the wealth of knowledge we'll be sharing with you. We'll use ancient texts and new research to finally bring the history, culture, traditions, religion, politics, food, science, technology, songs, sexual practices and customs of the Marradians, along with parallel information about the Anunnaki race since the two cousins' story is so bitterly entwined.

What is God like on other planets? If we accept that a Deity who, in our common Earth tongue we call God, created the Universe, then it is logical to assume this Presence also created other worlds and other sentient life forms. He didn't stop with us. Grudgingly, humans might persist in all their wondrous narcissism that while we are not the only intelligence in the Universe, at least we are the only ones with the concept of religion, that God created the Universe but somehow only revealed Himself to Abraham and Moses and Jesus and Buddha and Mohammad and everyone else here who believes.Why? If He exists here, then He exists elsewhere, but under different names and in different forms, inspired by different mythological origin stories and different methods of worship, like the different permutations on this planet.Why shouldn't a similar process prevail elsewhere in the Universe? Other life forms have to evolve in some fashion, no matter the ultimate result. Whatever the unique circumstances of that particular world, Darwinian principles must prevail. Some species would survive, others not. At a certain point, the survivors would look around for reassurance against their hostile atmosphere by seeking a positive beneficence. Whether God would find them or they would find God or whatever the spiritual cocktail, a belief in something larger would gain traction. Besides fear, early faith might grow from selflessness, wanting to share and help, or as a brutal path to achieving domination and power. There would be highly evolved life forms lighting the way, and there would be charlatans. Much like Earth, for every Christ there would be an L. Ron Hubbard. But somewhere out there in the Universe, these distant cousins of ours would look to their stars and wonder, why and how and what does it all mean?As we did.In our new book Ancient Aliens: Extraterrestrial Gods, Religions & Mystical Practices, we're going to explore faith beyond Earth. Now this is not a book about how humans perceived ancient aliens as deities. This is about how the Marradian and Anunnaki religions originated and evolved, their mystical practices, laws and customs, and any legacies of truth and comfort they can offer humanity.If you come away with one notion after reading this book, we humbly hope that it is tolerance of the mind to see something else, to listen and learn from those who are different, yet ultimately, more similar than you thought. It would be a valuable lesson for our planet.

The story opens as a jarring phone wakes lifelong Brooklynite and widowed father Teddy Mentor well after midnight. It's the Montana wilderness program saying that his 16-year-old adopted son has run away - and they haven't a clue where he's gone. Only two weeks ago, Jesse had been taken to the program by escorts to deal with substance abuse problems. Jeopardizing his flagging PR job in New York, Mentor rushes across the country to find Jesse, who is off on his own quest: to find Theresa, the sister he's never known. When Teddy finally discovers Jesse at a bus stop in Illinois, he is torn between sending him back or joining his son on a journey to find this girl in Kentucky. But he decides to go and they become embroiled in a grisly crime when Theresa's abusive husband Beau attacks her - Jesse stabs the big beast of a man, leaving him for dead.

Baseball and bailouts, as American as apple pie. Weaving today's economic malaise with the powerful magic of a Cinderella baseball team, Take Me Out to the Ballgame is a political baseball novel for our times. The Buffalo Matadors haven't won a world championship in 37 years, a dying franchise. Until flamboyant Harry Witowsky, a 21st Century George Steinbrenner, buys them, vowing to do whatever is necessary to change the fortunes of the "Door Mats." Victories and attendance climb as Witowsky creates an Us versus Them mentality at the Stadium. The rally cry of "Where's My Bailout" replaces "Let's Go Mats." Buffalo's surprising surge resonates with a nation afraid of losing jobs and homes, shaken by terrorist threats, frightened for the future. The Matadors become America's Team.
