The Prized Possession
Author: Jill Schaible
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1449773567
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
The only thing greater than fear is hope ... "Frustrations with jobs and employers, mortgages and car repairs, college debt and marital conflict make us so overwhelmed we can't even sleep. And thanks to wonderful drug advertising, very few of us are not on some sort of toxic substance to either help rest our minds at night or cope with stress during the day. Ask yourself if this is not true. People are taking their own life over this stuff, which makes me wonder if we've missed out on some secret. When wounded souls feel they have no other option but to remove themselves from this earth before their time, we'd better start uncovering some hope, and soon." Let's be honest. Our world is broken. We patch it up with all sorts of things, but underneath, where we really live, there is everything from anger, regret, lust, despair, and pain to fear, guilt, depression, greed, and unforgiveness. We are bombarded with distraction, deception, and way too much self-absorption to even recognize truth anymore. Is there any way out of this mess? Yes! There is indeed. It is found in one person, who gave everything to rescue us. His name is Jesus. The Prized Possession will help you discover who Jesus really is and why He is the only hope for hurting hearts. You will see why self-absorption and self-reliance are highly overrated, and how they keep us far from the freedom we need to see beyond our circumstances. Within these pages are true, personal stories sure to inspire your heart and stretch your understanding of God and His unrivaled love for humanity. If you have questions about life, come along on an exciting journey toward hope, purpose, and redemption. There is a very generous God just waiting for you.

Blue Sky God
Author: Don MacGregor
Publisher: John Hunt Publishing
ISBN: 1846949378
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
Blue Sky God interprets some new scientific theories with blue sky thinking to bring radical insights into God, Jesus and humanity, drawing also on some deep wells from the past in the writings of the early Christians. In an accessible style, it looks at science research and theories in areas such as quantum physics and consciousness, epigenetics, morphic resonance and the zero point field. From there, seeing God as the compassionate consciousness at the ground of being, it draws together strands to do with unitive consciousness and the Wisdom way of the heart. Throughout, it seeks to encourage an evolution in understanding of the Christian message by reinterpreting much of the theological language and meaning that has become ‘orthodoxy’ in the West. In doing so, it challenges many of the standard assumptions of Western Christianity. It outlines a spiritual path that includes elements from all of the world's great religions, is not exclusive, and yet has a place of centrality for Jesus the Christ as a Wisdom teacher of the path of transformative love.

Adventures in Philosophy at Notre Dame
Author: Kenneth M. Sayre
Publisher: University of Notre Dame Pess
ISBN: 0268092850
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 404
Book Description
Adventures in Philosophy at Notre Dame recounts the fascinating history of the University of Notre Dame's Department of Philosophy, chronicling the challenges, difficulties, and tensions that accompanied its transition from an obscure outpost of scholasticism in the 1940s into one of the more distinguished philosophy departments in the world today. Its author, Kenneth Sayre, who has been a faculty member for over five decades, focuses on the people of the department, describing what they were like, how they got along with each other, and how their personal predilections and ambitions affected the affairs of the department overall. The book follows the department’s transition from its early Thomism to the philosophical pluralism of the 1970s, then traces its drift from pluralism to what Sayre terms "professionalism,” resulting in what some perceive as a severance from its Catholic roots by the turn of the century. Each chapter includes an extensive biography of an especially prominent department member, along with biographical sketches of other philosophers arriving during the period it covers. Central to the story overall are the charismatic Irishmen Ernan McMullin and Ralph McInerny, whose interaction dominated affairs in the department in the 1960s and 1970s, and who continued to play major roles in the following decades. Philosophers throughout the English-speaking world will find Adventures in Philosophy at Notre Dame essential reading. The book will also appeal to readers interested in the history of the University of Notre Dame and of American higher education generally.

Lab
Author: Mario Vrban I
Publisher: Strategic Book Publishing
ISBN: 1612040330
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Lab is a political fable, a parable about Lab animals' struggle for a better life in an alien, hellish environment. Lab is a gripping examination of a shift from the Orwellian concept of 'all animals are equal' to a post-Orwellian premise that 'all animals are different.' The parable narrates the developments that occur in the Lab - from the initial harsh conditions to the majestic, glittering, virtual Labopolis and its endless sprawl. A bespectacled mouse with pinkish pale skin, Homo, is an interpreter for both the animals and the humans. When animals finally organize the rebellion in the Lab, Homo is their leader. Lab presents a totally administered, Kafkaesque world in which the simple event of a dog wagging his tail can employ innumerable bureaucrats, as well as scientists and activists. Its inter-textual playfulness embraces numerous references from Kafka, Orwell, Monty Python, Disney as well as guidelines from the handbook 'How to handle animals in American laboratories.'Although written in a simple style, the novel tackles the most ramified issues and dilemmas of late modernity: the great divide between humans and animals, the insecurities of the body as a final frontier, utopian desires for change in a world that more and more resembles the laboratory itself.
