The Mighty Unconquerable

About the Book

The Mighty Unconquerable is about love. First, it simply defines love. Then it says love is accessible even to those who seem lacking in love. Third, it suggests that love and sex are partners. Finally, it frees love from the custody of god, the church, conscience, morality, science, and technology. Love can be provocative. Shorn of curls and lipstick, love is muscle and bone. This is a gentle book. Contrary to experience, we pretend we are basking in love, but we’re frustrated when we don’t receive its expected rewards. We accept the platitudes but reject mindless love’s modest ideals as impractical and dangerous. Love fills the news in a myriad of oblique forms; it is time for serious discussion. This is not a how-to book. It is not an argument for atheism, science, god, judgment, or even intelligence. Love stands strong and independent. The Mighty Unconquerable advances the heart’s opportunities for love.

About the Author

Charles Whistler moved to Florida as a young man and, on his way, discovered Zen, haiku poetry, and aphorisms. These were his beginning tools as an author. Writing seriously, humorously, exaltedly, and divisively about God gave him reason to leave a small trail, but growing confidence and dedication to his craft has allowed him to produce volumes of work. Reading and writing steadily, he has revised, been work shopped, and judged by qualified judges. Obviously commercial and scholastic successes are the true standard and the only guarantee of relevance and worth, but credentials and reputation, finally, are for readers only to define. His philosophy can be summed up as follows: Inspiration is a leaf Erratic in drift But like the arctic tern That flies from pole to pole Ever vigilant without rest Inspiration must be sustained By direction and dedication
