Finish To The Sky by Greg Lavern
Although only one aspect of Gotthold Ephraim Lessing's diverse oeuvre, his religious thought had a significant influence on thinkers such as Kant, Hegel, Kierkegaard, and present-day liberal Protestant theologians. His thought is particularly difficult to assess, however, because it is found largely in a series of essays, reviews, critical studies, polemical writings, and commentary on theological texts. Beyond these, his correspondence, and a few fragmentary essays unpublished during his lifetime, we have his famous drama of religious toleration, Nathan the Wise, and his philosophical-historical sketch, The Education of the Human Race. In these scattered texts, Lessing challenged the full range of theological views in the Enlightenment, from Protestant orthodoxy, with its belief in Biblical inerrancy, to a radical naturalism, which rejected both the concept of a divine revelation and the historically based claims of Christianity to be one, as well as virtually everything in between. Since he refused to identify himself with any of these parties, Lessing was an enigmatic figure, and a central question from his time to today is where he stood on the issue of the truth of the Christian religion. Now back in print, and with the addition of two supplementary essays, Henry E. Allison's book argues that, despite appearances, Lessing was not merely an eclectic thinker or intellectual provocateur, but a serious philosopher of religion, who combined a basically Spinozistic conception of God with a sophisticated pluralistic conception of religious truth inspired by Leibniz.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR GREG LAVERN Meeting Moe Norman in 1974 was totally awesome for continuous golf instruction where I was taught his authentic tournament winning golf swing throughout the seventies and eighties. During that era some forty-two years ago Moe needed a close friend. I was very fortunate as a young professional to be provided with this great opportunity to play and practice golf with the best ball striker in the world. It was exciting for me to author Finish to the Sky Volume two as a follow-up to my first book. With two books published should deliver a comfort of truth to all golfers about the man and his golf swing in honour of Moe Norman. Encouraged by Moe I spent some time with Canadian greats Al Balding and George Knudson who were two other great ball strikers with excellent golf swings and valuable knowledge. From my experience with these great Canadian legends I can honestly say these teachings are far beyond anything you will hear on the golf channel. My educational achievements consisted of a Bachelor of Arts Degree and Diploma in Public Administration from the University of Prince Edward Island, Canada.

I enjoy a competitive round of golf, teaching dedicated players and particularly my daily practice sessions as I Finish to the Sky in memory of Moe Norman a trooper that played the game with heart the way it should be played.
