Sinossi

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.

Each of these forty readings concludes with an opportunity for further engagement such as a journaling prompt, reflection questions, a prayer, or a spiritual practice.

    Does God Care about Gender...

    A Biblical Vision of Gender Identity 
    Since the beginning of humanity, people have recognized the distinct creation of the male and female gender in God's design. But with today's gender revolution, people are increasingly questioning who they are designed to be. In our society, gender identity has been divorced from biology and rerooted in psychology. Do the core teachings of the Bible uphold these modern ideas?
    In this concise booklet, Samuel Ferguson carefully and compassionately compares the core beliefs and practices of the transgender movement with fundamental truths expressed in Scripture. Ferguson argues human identity is not determined by the individual but is given to us by our Creator, who designed our bodies and minds with purpose and encourages us to live in Christlikeness—choosing the path of God-given transformation over man-made transition. 
    
    - Short, Accessible Format: A concise biblical exploration of gender identity 
    - TGC Hard Questions Series: Equips readers with answers to difficult questions facing the modern church  
    - Great Resource for Parents, Pastors, or Those Struggling with Gender Identity: Offers advice for tackling personal and corporate controversies related to sex and gender

    This bundle of books delves into humanity’s deepest questions through three profound fields of philosophy—Teleology, Phenomenology, and Eschatology. This 3-in-1 volume offers a rich and thought-provoking journey through purpose, perception, and the end of existence. 
    In the first section, Teleology, readers explore the concept of purpose in nature, history, and human life. From Aristotle’s final causes to modern interpretations of design and destiny, this section unpacks how philosophers and scientists have interpreted meaning in a seemingly chaotic universe. 
    Phenomenology takes center stage in the second section, inviting readers into the study of lived experience and consciousness. Tracing the work of Husserl, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty, this section reveals how we perceive and interpret the world from a first-person point of view. It’s a dive into perception, intentionality, and the structures of experience. 
    Finally, Eschatology examines the philosophical and theological discourse surrounding the ultimate destiny of humanity and the universe. Whether through religious traditions, secular speculation, or metaphysical inquiry, this section explores endings, finality, and the deep questions of what lies beyond the limits of life and time. 
    Together, these three domains form a comprehensive introduction to advanced philosophical thinking, ideal for students, seekers, and anyone intrigued by the questions that shape our understanding of reality.
