What was it like to attend the ancient Olympic Games? With the summer Olympics’ return to Athens, Tony Perrottet delves into the ancient world and lets the Greek Games begin again. The acclaimed author of Pagan Holiday brings attitude, erudition, and humor to the fascinating story of the original Olympic festival, tracking the event day by day to re-create the experience in all its compelling spectacle. Using firsthand reports and little-known sources—including an actual Handbook for a Sports Coach used by the Greeks—The Naked Olympics creates a vivid picture of an extravaganza performed before as many as forty thousand people, featuring contests as timeless as the javelin throw and as exotic as the chariot race. Peeling away the layers of myth, Perrottet lays bare the ancient sporting experience—including the round-the-clock bacchanal inside the tents of the Olympic Village, the all-male nude workouts under the statue of Eros, and history’s first corruption scandals involving athletes. Featuring sometimes scandalous cameos by sports enthusiasts Plato, Socrates, and Herodotus, The Naked Olympics offers essential insight into today’s Games and an unforgettable guide to the world’s first and most influential athletic festival. "Just in time for the modern Olympic games to return to Greece this summer for the first time in more than a century, Tony Perrottet offers up a diverting primer on the Olympics of the ancient kind….Well researched; his sources are as solid as sources come. It's also well writen….Perhaps no book of the season will show us so briefly and entertainingly just how complete is our inheritance from the Greeks, vulgarity and all." --The Washington PostAuthor: Danielle Staub

Naked Christians comprises a collection of poems which either warns of the lack of eternal life in the souls of many naked Christians (1) who think they live as the body of Christ but do not, (2) who dare to call themselves Christians but have not as yet been born again, (3) who have been duped by false shepherds into believing that there are many ways to God the Father other than the only way of Jesus Christ, (4) who believe that repentance is just a one-time act if it is even necessary at all in the first place, (5) who may be weakening, if saved at all, while they are being engulfed by deniers of God’s word. Who can sit in a naked church in the midst of naked Christians being instructed by a naked pastor and still hope to be found in the presence of the Lord in the millennium?Author: Michele Promaulayko
