From the man who brought us great works of apologetics, refutations of relativism, and A Summa of the Summa , comes I Surf, Therefore I Am: A Philosophy of Surfing . Kreeft’s new book is released tomorrow, but here’s sneak peak at the introduction:
Non-IntroductionThis book is for three kinds of people:
1. for curious non-surfers, it is a confession;
2. for surfers, it is a manifesto;
3. for wannabe surfers, it is a practical beginners’ handbook.Why should you read this book?
Because surfing makes you so ridiculously happy that it makes you happy just to read about it, and it makes me happy just to write about it.
If that’s not a good enough reason, go enjoy your misery.
Good introductions should be short.
While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.
Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?
Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.
How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
