Readers!

 

My July fund-raising campaign to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary since I began Behind the Black is now over. I want to thank all those who so generously donated or subscribed, especially those who have become regular supporters. I can't do this without your help. I also find it increasingly hard to express how much your support means to me. God bless you all!

 

The donations during this year's campaign were sadly less than previous years, but for this I blame myself. I am tired of begging for money, and so I put up the campaign announcement at the start of the month but had no desire to update it weekly to encourage more donations, as I have done in past years. This lack of begging likely contributed to the drop in donations.

 

No matter. I am here, and here I intend to stay. If you like what I do and have not yet donated or subscribed, please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:

 

1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.

 

2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
 

3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:

 

4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

An evening pause: It all depends on how you define God. To me, God is the entire universe, of which I am part. To recognize such a reality is terribly humbling, and leads to wisdom.

Genesis cover

On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.

 

The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.


The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
 

"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

    Robert,
    While I absolutely respect your belief, to say that God is the entire universe is to actually diminish who the person of God is.
    While the universe, at least to us little humans, is infinite, the God who created the universe with a Word, is infinitely larger than our infinite universe. That same God, who loved us rebellious and lost little creatures so much, that He became one of us, born in a manger, and sacrificed Himself on a cross so that we could all be with Him one day and forever.
    THAT is humbling! That is what Christmas is all about. We celebrate the God who became a man to save all men!

    Merry Christmas

    wayne … I don’t know whether that video is funny or devastating … I am an anti- “karen” (my favorite line delivered by the guy in that beautiful English accent: “There’s a name for that demographic!”) in that I am likely to get mouthy or derisive with people who ARE wearing masks in their cars or outside, here in my part of Ca where the weather is beautiful and temps are in the mid 70s.

    I yell “Hey, 99.9something percent of all of us are fine after a year of this lockdown — can’t you do math? Isn’t 99.9something percent okay good for you?” When I walk up to a door with a sign on it about wearing a mask, I flip the sign off as a matter of course. I burst out laughing and point at those wearing masks outdoors or in a car, or if I’m driving I’ll slow down and stare at masked pedestrians like they have lobsters coming out of their ears, and then laugh … I feel it is my duty to make things as unpleasant as possible for mask social distancing believers. They need to be stopped because they are no longer just annoying, they have become bloody dangerous, and I don’t mean “bloody” in the English profanity sense, I mean it as in: If the Karens (many are men) continue being bossy jerks, there will be blood shed.
