Beschreibung

Are we truly striving for heaven or merely avoiding hell?The human hearts greatest longing is to see God as He is. And yet, many people simply want to escape hells pain, or even worse, they follow our disordered fallen nature in choosing sinful pleasures. Our Lord said the road to heaven is narrow, but the road to hell is wide (see Matt. 7:13). Is choosing the road to heaven merely wanting to avoid pain, or is it actively pursuing the greatest good beyond imagining?Do we choose the good because we strive to love God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength, or do we choose the good merely because we fear hell?God never leaves us alone in these choices. Indeed, He sends us His grace, but—to help us cooperate with that grace and fight valiantly—He also sends spiritual warriors and guides, of whom one of the greatest is Saint Thomas Aquinas.In Angelic Virtues and Demonic Vices, Saint Thomas guides us on how to pursue our true celestial homeland while avoiding running to a false heaven. He outlines the various vices, and their forty plus daughters, and details how to conquer them.After reading this work, you will not only desire to become a saint because you will see how hideous vice truly is but also see how splendid virtuous living for God is.

Originating around 200 to 175 BCE, this ancient text, also known as the Book of Sirach, offers a rich tapestry of wisdom, ethics, and teachings rooted in Jewish tradition. 
     
    Explore the depths of Jewish thought as Ecclesiasticus, inspired by Ben Sira's father Joshua son of Sirach, unveils a world of moral guidance and philosophical musings. This text serves as a bridge between the divine teachings and daily life, offering insights into behavior, ethics, and spirituality. 
     
    Ecclesiasticus stands out for its blend of practical wisdom and theological depth. The book navigates through various themes such as humility, honor, poverty, wealth, and the fear of the Lord, reflecting on the complexities of human existence and the pursuit of a righteous life. 
     
    Journey through the diverse proverbs and teachings that make up Ecclesiasticus, each chapter a mosaic of timeless wisdom. The teachings encompass not only religious doctrines but also touch upon social, political, and family life, providing guidance for a virtuous and fulfilling life.

    There are times when eternity presses in and we feel drawn to know more about the place we or our loved ones will be going when this life ends. We don't want guesses or pious platitudes; we want specifics. We want certainty. There has to be real, solid information in the pages of Scripture that paints the full picture, right? 
     
     
     
    In a word, yes. And What We'll See in Heaven was written to bring these biblical pictures of our heavenly home together in one book. Drawing on his decades of teaching, study, and travel in the Holy Land, John A. Beck points us to the many Bible passages that unpack the realities of heaven using the things of this earth the original Middle Eastern audience would have understood, including royal settings, such as throne rooms and banquets; daily living, such as the design of a Galilean home and the nature of Roman citizenship; the natural world, such as relationships between animals and humans; and the human experience—those things we see, do, and experience every day that will be reflected in our life to come. 
     
     
     
    Whether you're experiencing the grief of bereavement and long to know what your loved one is seeing and doing, or you're just curious about the eternal home that awaits you, this book will bring comfort, peace, and encouragement.

    Discover Hope--and the Heart of Jesus--for the Days Ahead 
     
    The world is angry and afraid. Humankind is on a trajectory away from God, against His Church and into increasing darkness--with the darkest hours still ahead. Yet the Father has an unexpected and compassionate answer for the rise of ugliness and violence: a beautiful unified Church of wholehearted followers of Jesus who will put Him on full display for all the world to see. 
     
    In these pages you'll discover how to become part of a Church that counters anger with kindness and mercy, loves its enemies, overcomes bitterness and offense, and lays hold of the Lord's beauty via revelation and transformation. When we--as a united Body and as individual members--do these things, we will love as He loves. We will endure without despair as we boldly and lovingly stand for His truth.  
     
    And together we will rise up as His Bride whose beauty eclipses the darkness.
