What's Your Problem, Shorty?: (Removing Your Short Goggles: An Essay) Sep 5, 2015

by Jim Wormington

( 1 )

$0.99

Are you a short man who struggles with feeling less-than? Does someone you love have self-esteem issues relating to their stature? Author Jim Wormington gets it. At about 5' 4" (in shoes), he knows what it's like to "look up" to most people, while feeling down about himself.

In this humorous, entertaining and insightful essay, Wormington examines the reasons behind these feelings and points the reader toward better ways of coping, healthier ways of relating to the body, mind, and soul.

Are you ready to remove your "short goggles" and see yourself and the world in a more positive light? Then grab your copy of "What's Your Problem, Shorty?" today!

Rob Bell Saved Me From Hell: My Road to Universalism Jun 6, 2015

by Jim Wormington

( 16 )

$0.99

Would a loving God eternally punish people who don’t believe the right things? Or, as author Jim Wormington puts it, "If light is the only color in your divine box of Crayons, how can the picture you draw be so full of darkness?"

Wormington’s memoir, “Rob Bell Saved Me From Hell,” is the chronicle of his spiritual evolution: from rigid, oppressive Fundamentalism to expansive, liberating Universalism. It will encourage you to smile and challenge you to think.

Is it possible to “get the hell” out of your religion without losing your faith? Could it be that God’s love and compassion are greater than you ever imagined?

Maybe you can be “saved from hell” too (with a little help from Rob Bell).

Under Different Suns: Stories from the Multiverse Aug 8, 2015

by Jim Wormington

$0.99

You will wonder ... about the fate of Alistair Cook's cancerous bones; if there will be time for breakfast before the apocalypse; if, given enough personal suffering, a chaplain can cry blood; if psychedelic mushrooms might bring about ego death.

You will marvel at ... a man whose bald spot reveals the deepest truths to those willing to look; a world where humans don't die but, rather, disappear when it is "their time;" a Sugar-Coated Blueberry Pop Tart having a philosophical discussion with an unsuccessful author; what a little girl does when she discovers a time-travel device inside a box of Fruity Pebbles; twelve-foot-tall robots that deliver for Amazon; houses that drift a little farther apart every day; and an Earth full of Jesuses.

From our familiar world to parallel worlds where “the rules” don’t apply, this collection of short stories reveals the human soul in contemplation of itself and its predicament. You will chuckle, you will say, "Hmm," you will be entertained by these smart, literary stories, from the first page to the last .

Insect Artists and Stealers of Time: A Collection of Illustrated Poems Sep 7, 2015

by Jim Wormington , Bob Wormington , Diane Wormington , Loui Jover , Rick Theobald

$0.99

In this creatively illustrated collection (artwork provided by four different artists), author Jim Wormington deconstructs religion, sex, death, employment, addiction, lust, envy (and other deadly sins), vacuum fluctuations, singing airplanes, and the unique perspective of insects.

Wormington believes that "art, in all its forms, is our finest stab at getting hold of the most elusive aspects of being human, the intangibles that necessarily involve our senses even while transcending them. Paintings, sculptures, books, films, and, yes, poetry … these are our cave drawings, our attempts to transform abstract ideas into forms we can look at, touch, contemplate and question, share, discuss, and debate. These are our strivings to more fully grasp the mysteries both outside us and within us."

Accessible, relatable, intelligent.

A special thanks to Australian artist, Loui Jover, for the contribution of his stunning artwork to this collection.
