  About Man and God and Law is the story of how Bob Dylan sparked a revolution of the spirit and why it matters today.Many of our assumptions about empathy, sensual pleasure, and the essence of work, community, country, race, and the divine have germinated in Bob Dylan's need to know what's blowing in the wind and how it feels. Tracing his work and vision through themes that have shaped religious and cultural history for millennia, Stephen Daniel Arnoff uncovers how Bob Dylan has re-enchanted ancient questions of meaning and purpose throughout popular culture, inspiring a pantheon of prophetic musicians along the way. This field guide to Dylan's spiritual wisdom aims to make good on the promise that if we look closely enough at his body of work—precisely at a moment when the world we thought we knew seems like uncharted territory—we can open up our eyes to see not only where we really are, but where we need to go.

Her story, told here for the first time and in her own words, is one characterized by gritty determination against the odds.

  From Anthony Pellicano—“Hollywood Fixer”—comes his first work of not-so-fictional fiction.The world's most infamous and sought-after private investigator got his start on the streets of South Chicago in the 1960s. After decades as a private eye to dozens of celebrity clients—and a 17-year prison stint to protect their confidences—Anthony Pellicano returns to the spotlight, this time with his first novel, The Neighborhood. This is the story of best friends— brothers really—Paulie and Vincent, who grew up without fathers on Chicago's southside.  Paulie learns how to be a man from TV cop shows, while Vincent's role models are the wise guys on street corners.  Paulie joins the FBI with hopes to escape his past, while Vincent becomes a private investigator who works for the “family” business.  When the two men reconcile, they are torn between devotion to each other and loyalty to their respective organizations. Despite a blood oath that Paulie and Vincent made to their friendship, someone may have to die for it.   A gritty glimpse into Chicago's criminal underworld, this novel pulsates with more authenticity than any gangster true crime.  If you want to know how things were done—and are still done—on the streets of Chicago, The Neighborhood is the book to read.

  From the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Sh*t My Dad Says: a funny and deeply touching collection of personal stories about relationships. 
   
  Fans of Sh*t My Dad Says will recognize the always-patient voice of Justin Halpern’s dad as it crackles through the pages of this hysterical new book. The story begins when Justin takes his dad out to lunch to announce that he’s decided to propose to his girlfriend. 
   
  “You’ve been dating her for four years,” his dad replies. “It ain’t like you found a parallel fucking universe.” 
   
  But eventually he gives Justin some advice: that he should take a day off and think back over everything he’s learned in life about women, relationships, and himself before making his decision. And that’s just what Justin does—revisiting everything from his disastrous childhood crushes to the night he finally lost his virginity while working as a dishwasher at Hooters. 
   
  I Suck at Girls is full of his dad’s patented brand of wisdom. But it’s also full of new characters just as funny as his dad—from his brother, who provides insights into wedding night rituals (“You stand in one corner of the room, and she stands in the other. You each take off one piece of clothing at a time”) to his first boss, who warns Justin to man up: “That’s what a man does. He takes his shots and then he scrubs the shit out of some dishes.” The result is a pilgrim’s progress through the landscape of sex and love—by one of the funniest writers at work today.
