Significance

About the Book

Significance should serve well a reader who has loved deeply. It is an uncompromising, beautiful book. The book may be read as an intellectual autobiography, as a love story, for wisdom on music and on telling stories, and as a resolution of the problem of evil.

We've enclosed the table of contents below.

It is always both rare and deeply satisfying to find a book written by someone who has touched what is true. It is with great pleasure that we present the first combined edition of Mr. Kimpel's work.

Significance is a compilation of Mr. Kimpel's earlier books: On Telling Stories, Collected Polemics, Notes, and Letters. These books were published in numbered, limited, Harrold Press first editions in 1986, 1990, 1997, and 1997. The books were written over a twenty-one year period.

Reviews

From a reader at Amazon:

I would have assumed that a book on "the meaning of life" would be either a spoof or the work of a fool. It's probably fitting, therefore, that I find myself with the task of writing a review of Significance.

There are no words for the task.

Genuine authority is a rare thing. Find it here.
