Jacob's Ladder
Author: Peter Kreeft
Publisher: Ignatius Press
ISBN: 1681492733
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 154
Book Description
There are ten important questions everyone should ask; ; and the answers to these questions, which lead to ultimate ; truth, are a matter of reason, not of faith. Well-known Catholic philosopher and writer Peter ; Kreeft tackles each of these questions in a logical ; step-by-step way, like climbing the rungs of a ladder. ; Because questions are best answered by dialogue, Kreeft ; answers these fundamental questions in an imaginary ; conversation between two very different people who meet at ; the beach. Kreeft's characters begin at the ; beginning, at the bottom of the ladder, which is the ; passion for truth. When it comes to the most important ; questions a person can ask, no mere interest in ; philosophical dabbling will do. The passion for truth does ; not stop there, however, but carries the reader from one ; page to the next in this thought-provoking adventure of the ; mind. Among the topics, or "steps", that ; Kreeft's characters delve into include: Do you ; have the passion to know? Does truth ; exist? What is the meaning of life? What ; is love, and why is it so important for our ; lives? If there is a God, what proof is there for ; his existence? Has God revealed himself to us in a ; personal way? And many other important ; questions and topics to help climb the ladder to the truth ; about life.

Three Steps on the Ladder of Writing
Author: Hélène Cixous
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 9780231076593
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
Three Steps on the Ladder of Writing is a poetic, insightful, and ultimately moving exploration of 'the strange science of writing.' In a magnetic, irresistible narrative, Cixous reflects on the writing process and explores three distinct areas essential for 'great' writing: The School of the Dead--the notion that something or someone must die in order for good writing to be born; The School of Dreams--the crucial role dreams play in literary inspiration and output; and The School of Roots--the importance of depth in the 'nether realms' in all aspects of writing. Cixous's love of language and passion for the written word is evident on every page. Her emotive style draws heavily on the writers she most admires: the Brazilian novelist Clarice Lispector, the Russian poet Marina Tsvetaeva, the Austrian novelists Ingeborg Bachmann and Thomas Bernhard, Dostoyevsky and, most of all, Kafka.

The Ladder of Life
Author: Stuart Symington
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780620945776
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 196
Book Description
If you have ever wondered whether this life is not all that it's cracked up to be, take heart. This book is designed to tease your curiosity a little further in this regard. Finding a greater sense of purpose and contentment in this life is crucial in being able to look back with infinitely more satisfaction, and far fewer regrets. In hindsight, there is much that our schools and universities did not teach us that would have been good to know. So, the overarching goal of this book is to offer the reader some insights into this 'hidden curriculum' of life - the stuff we have to find out for ourselves from the School of Hard Knocks. As we climb the ladder of life, we may encounter some loose rungs or even one or two missing ones. At times we may even feel that our ladder is leaning up against the wrong wall. Safely navigating our way up life's ladder is both an art and a science. The chapters that follow are written with 'the big decisions' in mind - decisions that, made wisely, can change the trajectory of our lives for the better, forever. If you're looking for a book that cuts to the chase on what matters in this life, this is it. In a no-holds barred, down-to-earth approach, author Stuart Symington lays out his formula for a life worth living. Some of the rungs on Stuart's ladder of life include: Breaking the mould of your upbringing, despite the best efforts and intentions of those who raised you. Disengaging from life on 'autopilot', and switching to 'manual' to take charge of your destiny. Seeking a balance among the six most important areas of your life: health, wealth, family, friends, livelihood and spirituality. Getting to know yourself really well so that you can become your own best friend, and the best version of who you can be. Seeing the bigger picture in life, and tackling - with a sense of urgency and zest - the opportunities that present themselves. Taking a leaf out of the books of those wise souls who made a mega-difference while walking this planet.
