FOnd, du Lac, WI Author Publishes New Book

The Living Lake Scrolls, a new book by Gary L. Gruenwald, has been released by RoseDog Books.

The Living Lake Scrolls creatively explores fresh and mind-opening ideas to both entertain and edify.

Satire and humor infuse the highly readable, short-chapter format, which consists largely of a Socratic dialogue between the author and a non-personal, non-conventional, lower-case "god."

Controversial key topics in The Living Lake Scrolls are philosophy, money, religion (especially fundamentalism), history, politics, time, death, education, and capitalism. Other chapters include thought-provoking and provocative perspectives about science, the middle class, militarism, travel, sex, and sports.

Ideas are at work and words are at play in this book, which sharply question the many unsatisfactory claims of traditional views, the obsolete and false "Dead Sea Scrolls" of society. Accurately identifying and pursuing the good, true, and beautiful in our lives leads to a genuine nobility of the spirit, as well as hope for the future.

A far-reaching critique of society, The Living Lake Scrolls ultimately encourages and uplifts the thoughtful reader with iconoclastic but stimulating approaches to the meaning of life.
