Here is the novel that will be forever considered a triumph of the imagination. Set on the desert planet Arrakis, Dune is the story of the boy Paul Atreides, who would become the mysterious man known as Maud'dib.

A stunning blend of adventure and mysticism, environmentalism and politics, Dune won the first Nebula Award, shared the Hugo Award, and formed the basis of what is undoubtedly the grandest epic in science fiction. Frank Herbert's death in 1986 was a tragic loss, yet the astounding legacy of his visionary fiction will live forever.

Great logical questions, which are similar in style on federal level. This is a rather small book, but it packs a whallopnot in a brutal way, but in a way that cuts through the layers of dirt and debris that we have allowed to collect upon our hearts and souls and get straight to the center of the situation where we find God.
When we empty ourselves of pre-conceived ideas, judgments, worries, and doubts we find that God has always been at the center of our lives; we find that it's not our busy-ness that matters, but it's those times where we're able to get still and quiet that make the most difference. I hated myself for my positive feelings about him. Also I would really recommend a
