Based on work originally published in 1650 and 1651, this book combines Jeremy Taylor's two most famous writings: *The Rule and Exercises of Holy Living* and *The Rule and Exercises of Holy Dying.* These books are owner's manuals for the soul, describing for readers how to attain virtue, avoid vice, and live a proper Christian life. The book is divided into sections based on which virtue and which vice the reader needs help with. *On Dying* speaks to those who, before they are old and ill, have given some thought to dying and wish to ensure that they pass properly to Heaven. Devout Christians will find this book inspirational and instructional.
Welcome to the crazy world of Jeremy Taylor where quite often, the author loses his already-short temper and goes on rants that go from funny to observational to absolutely ridiculous. People are narcissists and Taylor offers not one, not two, but one hundred and eleven examples of that. In a humorous, no holds barred approach, the author offers his observations on every topic imaginable, from social issues to politics to gossiping about celebrities. Nobody is safe from Taylor's irreverent, ridiculous, absurd narrative in this sarcastic satire, where the author frequently seems to lose his train of thought, yet somehow the story is able to continue on its own.
Meet one hundred and eleven people Taylor can't stand (in alphabetical order): Adam, Alex, Alexa, Alexander, Amber, Andrea, Andrés, Angela, Anna, Anne, Anu, Ashlyn, Bibi, Billy, Brie, Britney, Brooklyn, Cedric, Cesar, Charley, Christina, Claude, Clint, Crystal, Curtis, Dan, David, Delia, Dick, Don, Donald, Elizabeth, Elle, Emily, Eric, Eve, Ezequiel, Felicia, Felicity, Florina, Franzy, Frida, George, Georgia, Gian, Henok, Hudson, Hung, Isaac, Ivy, Jeff, Jeremy, John, Jonathan, Kaitlin, Karl, Karen, Katie, Kenya, Kevin, Kim, Kris, LaToya, Laura, Leonardo, Lilly, Liza, Louis, Lydia, Marc, Mary, Matthew, Melania, Michael, Mimi, Nathan, Nelsie, Nick, Ocean, Orlando, Osama, Oscar, Patrick, Pearl, Phillip, Pierce, Pinocchio, Quigley, Quin, Ramy, Reign, Rhett, Rosa, Rudy, Ryan, Salvador, Samantha, Sara, Snooki, Sonia, Stephanie, Tallulah, Tess, Thor, Tom, Tyler, Unique, Velva, Victoria, Vincent, William, Xanthus, Yolanda, Zachary
