Manifestos relating to religious belief are generally referred to as creeds. Manifestos may also be life-stance related.\u003cbr\u003eA public declaration, usually of a prince, sovereign, or other person claiming large powers, showing his intentions, or proclaiming his opinions and motives in reference to some act done or contemplated by him; as, a manifesto declaring the purpose of a prince to begin war, and explaining his motives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA life-time of experience and opinion presented as an eclectic collection of quotes, maxims, song lyrics, sayings, phrases, paragraphs, prose poetry and comments comprises The Xanwar Manifesto. Over thirty years in the making this epic collection of thought-provoking material is somehow random and enlightening, eye-opening, cynical and stimulating. Covering every topic under the sun from religion to politics to the quirks of human behavior to sailing on the ocean blue, every page brings a new, sometimes jarring, sometimes profound viewpoint to a facet of our human existence. \u003cbr\u003eIt is not verified, referenced, alphabetical, nor arranged by subject. Rather it is a kaleidoscope-like display of personally relevant tidbits that, like glowing embers, somehow landed on these pages and burned into place. The Xanwar Manifesto is not intended to be read like a book, but rather perused at idle moments when searching for inspiration. Or just as a way to kill a few minutes. \u003cbr\u003eThe Xanwar Manifesto contains much wisdom wrested from the life experiences of the author. As Yoda might put it, \"Relevant to the reader, this wisdom may be.\" \u003cbr\u003ePrefaced with a succinct summary of the author's unique take on our modern society the indefinable Xanwar Manifesto is going to stretch the boundaries of your comfort zone and is sure to make you think.","brand":"Butch Evans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082681630960,"sku":"2940013315372","price":4.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013315372_p0.jpg?v=1763579248","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013315372","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
