InkenSoul Press Celebrates Ten Books
I am very excited to have published ten books so far. Now I just need to find people to read them.
Category: Money, Sex, Power & Faith
Portions of the book Money, Sex, Power & Faith by Steve McAllister
In the Beginning Was the Word, and the Word Was Money
“As humanity perfects itself, man becomes degraded.
When everything is reduced to the mere counter-balancing of economic interests, what room will there be for virtue?
When Nature has been so subjugated that she has lost all her original forms, where will that leave the plastic arts?
And so on. In the meantime, things are going to get very murky.”
– Gustave Flaubert

Enjoy these recordings of the book. You can download each of these to listen on the go, or play them directly from this page. Unfortunately, the file for “Who’s Got The Power?” wouldn’t upload, but you can read it here.
Reclaiming Our Power
“Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance, order, rhythm and harmony.” – Thomas Merton
Economics Beyond Money
“Those in power have made it so we have to pay simply to exist on the planet. We have to pay for a place to sleep, and we have to pay for food. If we don’t, people with guns come and force us to pay. That’s violent.” – Derrick Jensen, Endgame, Vol. 1: The Problem of Civilization
Rethinking What’s Been Thunk
“If you understand others, you are smart. If you understand yourself ,you are illuminated. If you overcome others, you are powerful. If you overcome yourself, you have strength. If you know how to be satisfied, you are rich. If you can act with vigor, you have a will. If you don’t lose your objectives, you can be long-lasting. If you die without loss, you are eternal.” – Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
Ollie Ollie Oligarchy
“I made my money the old-fashioned way. I was very nice to a wealthy relative right before he died” – Malcolm Forbes
Money Returns To The Virtual World
“Can anybody remember when the times were not hard and money not scarce?” – Ralph Waldo Emerson
You Gotta Have Faith
“The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.” – G.K. Chesterton, What’s Wrong with the World
An Imprisoned Population
“It is said that no one truly knows a nation until one has been inside its jails. A nation should not be judged by how it treats its highest citizens, but its lowest ones.” – Nelson Mandela
