The Jeppsian Book Of The Living

The Jeppsian Book Of The Living (TJBOTL) is the most wealthiest and complete collection of all original Jeppsian philosophy teachings by its founder Simon Edward Jepps, also known as Svoreign Jepps by spiritual transcendence.

This book is the ideal spiritually academic source of enlightenment for all followers of the Jeppsian faith. The book is named as such since it is intended as a 'spiritually academic, recreational and fulfilling companion to life'. The book contains not only all Jeppsian philosophy teachings, but orchestral music scores, some more personal poetical reflections on Simon's own life, and most uniquely, the inclusion of Simon's own spiritually diverse Chess variant, written and created as a recreational medium to his own philosophy.

TJBOTL is composed of five main books: The Svoreign Bible, which is the original main Jeppsian scripture, a very poetical seminar into the nature of God and how religious diversity is a real truth that can be achieved; For Peace, which is a collection of four pieces of orchestral music manuscripts including a Jeppsian chant; Without Capricorns, which is a poetical diary of Jepps' early life and into adulthood; Jeppseirawan, which is a spiritually diverse Chess variant, a recreational pastime for those who appreciate Jeppsian philosophy; and Ophiuchus, which is the final book of Jeppsian philosophy teachings and which covers teachings on celibacy, its benefits to the mind and soul, the afterlife, rational spiritual analysis of the paranormal and of extraterrestrial life and also teachings into how love itself is a miracle that can better our lives in more ways than perhaps expected.

TJBOTL concludes with a final philosophical epilogue which offers further understanding of spirituality and most importantly of ourselves as a living race.

Jeppsism, or commonly 'Svoreignity', is the name given to the Jeppsian philosophy.

Jeppseirawan Chess Score Notation Book

The Jeppseirawan Chess score notation book is suitable for all one hundred square (or less) chess variants. It includes fields for events, rounds and also a 100 square template diagram to record any position, with a small positional notes area included. This book holds 200 games of 80 moves each.

The 100 square template diagram can also be used for 10x8 or 9x9 etc, chess variants by merely crossing or shading out the extra squares. Likewise this book could also be used as an Omega Chess score book by just drawing in the four extra corner squares.

In short this is a valuable gem of a book. It is one of very few, if any, Chess Variant Score Notation Books available today.

The Svoreign Bible

The Svoreign Bible is a combined binding of the three Jeppsian religious scriptures, The Holy Truce, The Jeppsian Ministry & The Svoreign Order and The Prognosister, written by Simon Edward Jepps.

Whilst this Bible describes Jepps' own philosophy, it is also a passionate work with a secondary purpose to realise a more religiously diverse, creative and cooperative world. The first of the three books, The Holy Truce, gives one the understanding of how religious diversity and cooperation is a real truth and of how it can be achieved.

Jepps believes that through this book the world can gain a better understanding of what it means to be a multi-religious world, how it can be realised as truth and without sacrificing anything but our mere inability to be friends. The book's fundamental message, "One God but many faces, one message but many ways", is the doorway which leads to an abundantly spiritually creative planet... and beyond.

The Holy Truce is the primary Jeppsian scripture, composed mainly of poetry, prose and poetic wisdom. Aside from being an expression of peace between religions it is also an expression of a secondary truce between our individual selves and God, whereby we are encouraged to 'make our peace' with God and accept that life cannot be perfect, even for the most righteous of us.

The Jeppsian Ministry & The Svoreign Order is an accompaniment of further philosophical teachings, such as Jeppsian terminology, spiritual counselling, fidelity and sacred animals, and is also a valuable detailed ministerial guide for Svoreign Monks.

The Prognosister is a short supplementary book of additional teachings, which although not mainstream, offer a valuable deeper insight into Jeppsian psychology.

The word 'Svoreign' is primarily the Jeppsian word for 'celibate' but also means 'sacred' in the most genuine sense, thus 'The Sacred [Jeppsian] Bible' would be the literary translation.

Four Of Mine

Many find the standard game of Chess does not last a lifetime for them. This is by no fault of their own, but due to two main problems with the game that many players share - 1. It's been played out and 2. Lack of opening choice.

Unless you are a world champion with the ability to study future patterns at the sub-atomic level, the four popular standard Chess openings become a colourless dismal choice for most. Hence now there are more variants than perhaps famous recorded games of the original.

Collected here are four of Simon Jepps' best variants that offer a new and exciting alternative playing experience.

Living With The French

Living With The French is the childhood diary Simon Jepps kept whilst living with a French family during the Easter of 1993. During his first time in France, Simon Jepps encounters many strange, many wonderful, many emotional and most of all many hilarious experiences!

This now newly revised fourteen year old's diary remains firmly as a true account of his experiences as a foreign exchange student, describing how, amidst all the anxiety, confusion, nervousness, fears and all the other feelings one would expect to have when venturing into a foreign country alone for the first time, Simon Jepps came to find the French people and their country to be the most beautiful in all the world.

Without Capricorns

Without Capricorns is a collection of Simon Jepps' early days as a poet, from just 12 years of age to his early adulthood at 22 years. Many of these are love poems, but the book was originally written as a form of personal diary and so other miscellaneous topics are covered also here and there.

This book gives you an insight into the author's early life and what issues may have shaped his modern character. Of course not every 12 year old is a literary master, but these poems collected here are indeed enjoyable to read and stand as a somewhat sentimental but intriguing record of the author's early life.

Contains some competition-winning Christian poetry.
