A Wheel of Small Gods offers a guide to reintroducing ritual healing by engaging with the 36 decan spirits of the Egyptian zodiac.
In recent years, there has been a concerted attack on many of the precepts of Western civilization relating to the concept of God, truth, Christianity, morality, sex, the family, and even modern science, especially biology. The concern of this volume is to explore these and other attacks through the tools of philosophy, theology, science, and intuition. It seeks to bring clarity to the ongoing struggle of Western civilization to preserve its values and traditions. The West is crumbling at an accelerated rate. The unfolding erasure of history, objective morality, and truth has paved the way for our current predicament. We are now standing at the precipice of the future of human civilization. The attacks on the human person are unrelenting, malicious, multifaceted, and wide-ranging in their scope and breadth, from the time prior to birth until the moment of death. If you are granted the "right" to live, then you must be prepared for unending assaults on your, mind, body, and soul. Nevertheless, the spirit of man and the greatness of God are infinitely greater than any of these assaults. It is by making sense of nonsense that humanity will be able to navigate out of the West's current quagmire. For those who feel vaguely uneasy about the current direction of our culture andour politics, but can't put their finger on the problem, the fifty-five chapters ofthis book are a wake-up call, and they bring into focus reasons for our currentmalaise. The editor and principal author, Scott D. G. Ventureyra, is joinedby more than twenty others who explore perennial themes of philosophy andtheology enlivened by accounts of personal experience in the quest for the trueand the good amidst the drama of the decay of the West. Topics range from faithand science to gender ideology to the attack on freedom and dignity of persons, to COVID-19 and the New World Order. Pick this volume up for a livelydiscussion of the distemper of our times, and for reflections on the prospectsfor redemption.>The Western world is intent on defeating reality to vaunt utopian narratives. Theauthors of this impressive work offer a necessary assessment of this "culture war,"while also forging a path for a return to the essential and eternal truths of humanexistence. A copy of this notable book should be on every shelf.>I knew something was deeply wrong with the world prior to 2020, but 2020confirmed it. With the changes in views about sex, marriage, and the economy, we are seeing a direct confrontation with traditional Western Christian values.This continues to be confirmed for those who have eyes to see what politics, medicine, science, and technology are doing to cultural consciousness led byglobalist elite groups (just read the Davos report for yourself!)... Making Sense of Nonsenseconfronts many of the issues, motivations, and challenges that continue toupset not only our economy and social interactions but our values. With anhonest look at the issues from a variety of perspectives, Making Sense of Nonsensewill furnish the reader with a host of issues backed by research that aid us inthinking better about the problems in medicine, technology, economics, societyand how they are interwoven, so that we might be better equipped to engagethe new world staring us square in the face. The motivations are no longerdisguised attempts to deceive. At best the motivations are hidden in plain sightfor all to see. For those who have ears to hear, let him hear and see the nonsensebefore us.-Joshua R. Farris, Rev. Dcn., Ph.D, Professor of Theology of Science, Missional University

Reeling from his memories from the battlefields of Europe in World War I, Marine Corps Sergeant Hiram Tobit returns to the remote Appalachian mountains of his youth to recruit a new generation of woodsmen to serve the nation's armed forces. His native country, however, is fraught with memories of a dead brother, a drunken father, and a mother dead by her own hand. Still, there is grace to be found in the insular mountain community, and when Hiram meets a young single mother and a daughter who is every bit the child of nature, he sees a chance to generate a new kind of family pointing toward the promise of peace. A sudden bloody act of madness ruptures this hope, however, and the small town comes together to seek justice. Hiram and his estranged father Sloane ride out to find the murderer and bring him back to stand trial. The father and son's journey through the wilderness calls up ghosts of the past, so that each man must come to terms with his own guilt in a world searching for innocence. Both mythic and immediate, Lambs of Men explores the cost of duty and sacrifice and the ultimate desire for lasting redemption.Praise for LAMBS OF MEN"Charles Dodd White has written this rich novel of the mountains as though he's been saving every word of it for a lifetime.

"Values for a Life Economy" begins with the opening of one's heart: love, compassion, and empathy expand from within. We are never not connected. Like the flapping of the butterfly's wings, what we do in our own lives affects others, even those on the other side of the planet. The Golden Rule leads us to recognise the sacredness and fragility of the world and to treat the Earth and its species with compassion. Ultimately, it leads us to promote a Life Economy - a system that works toward the well-being of all life on our planet.This booklet is the culmination of a year-long series of conversations, launched shortly after the lockdown started in Europe, that explored how to achieve 'Good After Covid 19'. These conversations brought people of all ages from across the world together online to share their expertise and perspectives. People came from different sectors, backgrounds, and professions, from business, NGOs, governments and activist groups.Contributions from 20 inspiring members of the original discussions, expertly curated by Kim Polman and Anthony Bennett, reflect on these conversations, asking 'what's changed?' The book provides 10 unifying values and reflection activities, as part of a rich, broad and inspiring map that guides us towards a life economy.

La vida tiene mucho que enseñarnos, pero también la muerte. No sabemos apenas nada sobre ella, solo que tarde o temprano, absolutamente todos, recibiremos su visita y cumpliremos de manera muy puntual nuestra ya agendada cita. Pascual lo sabe muy bien, acaba de morir, o más bien, acaba de ser asesinado. Ahora, estupefacto, contempla su maltrecho cadáver, mientras espera que algo o alguien le diga qué es lo que viene a continuación. Sin embargo, parece no haber ni una sola respuesta a tanta pregunta e invisible a cualquier ojo, su existencia se limita a contemplar como los demás siguen con sus vidas. ¿Será esto todo lo que le espera durante el resto de la eternidad? ¿O es que su impune asesinato se ha convertido en un asunto pendiente que no le deja avanzar? No tiene otro camino que tratar de averiguarlo.
