War in Context - Making Sense of War

Christopher Pike

Sinopsis

CHRISTOPHER PIKE’s first book in his trilogy Making Sense of War examined war as a social phenomenon. About War (2021) explained why war, organised violence, happens. 
War in Context shows – through examples from history – how the state legitimises war and how war legitimises the state, and how Britain has used military force in the past. 
Pike asks: is war necessary? Can it be predicted? Is terrorism war? Is terrorism effective and how should it be countered? What were the implications of al Qaeda’s attacks on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon in September 2001? 
What then might be the effect on world stability of America’s less assertive leadership? 
War in Context looks at deterrence, the basis for nuclear strategy; and the strategic implications of such modern phenomena as cyborgs, Artificial Intelligence and Drones. But the human factor is emphasised – the moral and physical pressure on commanders of robots and hypersonic missiles. 
Above all, it is humans who decide how and when death is delivered. Science increases the intensity of battle, but man, not the machine, controls the outcome.  
The book ends with an assessment of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

The Strangeness of Truth -...

Damian Ference

God is love, personified. He became man, sacrificed himself for us, and from moment to moment, holds the world in existence. He is three persons in one. Faced by these mysteries, Our Lady’s famous question springs to mind: “How can this be?” (Luke 1:34). In The Strangeness of Truth, Fr. Damian Ferrence invites us to marvel with him at the radical, mystical realities illuminating our world. Indeed, the answers to our biggest questions are far stranger than anyone can imagine.

1940: When Change is Desperately...

Eric Ludy

Oftentimes the greatest movements of grace follow close on the heels of the greatest movements of evil. Such is the case of 1939 Great Britain—decadent, self-absorbed and wholly unprepared to stand up against the growing threat of Adolf Hitler on the other side of the Channel. A great evil had cast its shadow upon the sleepy British Isles, and now it appeared that the countdown toward their final days had officially begun. 1939 Great Britain is a stunning reminder to all of us, that no matter how dark it gets, God’s grace is sufficient to meet the task and to turn everything around. Something happened inside that decaying, dying nation that is one for the storybooks. And, though it is nearly impossible to believe—that decadent, self-absorbed, unprepared little nation became— seemingly overnight—a nation full of lionhearted men and women ready to sacrifice everything to see Hitler stopped. Out of the ashes of 1939 grows the beauty and profundity of 1940 Great Britain. And what is most thrilling is that God desires to work this very same miracle in each of us.  
This is an Ellerslie Live Teaching Series from Eric Ludy. When you purchase this audiobook, it comes with an accompanying PDF of the message notes.

Bhagavad Gita Essentials

Paramahamsa Vishwananda

The Bhagavad Gītā recounts a profound dialogue between Arjuna, a conflicted warrior, and his humble charioteer, who is in fact the Lord Himself. The message Kṛṣṇa delivered on a battlefield more than 5000 years ago is just as relevant today because it awakens the soul to mankind’s true nature and reason for being. His instructions have stood the test of time and provide the knowledge to help us triumph over the obstacles we face in our lives. 
Paramahamsa Sri Swami Vishwananda’s commentary brings this timeless discourse to life, unravelling it and delivering it straight to the heart of the reader. 
It is rare when a book has the potential to become a lifelong companion for spiritual seekers, yet the Bhagavad Gītā Essentials is designed to be just that: an essential part of your life. 
Convenient enough as an ebook to carry with you wherever you go, yet profound enough to carry you all the way to God; succinct enough to read in a matter of hours, yet deep enough to contemplate for decades to come.

The Anti-Mary Exposed - Rescuing...

Carrie Gress

The Demonic Influence on Women Today 
In the late ’60s, a small group of elite American women convinced an overwhelming majority of the country that destroying the most fundamental of relationships—that of mother and child—was necessary for women to have productive and happy lives. 
 
From the spoiling of this relationship followed the decay of the entire family, and almost overnight, our once pro-life culture became pro-lifestyle, embracing everything that felt good. Sixty million abortions later, women aren’t showing signs of health, happiness, and fulfillment. Increased numbers of divorce, depression, anxiety, sexually transmitted disease, and drug abuse all point to the reality that women aren’t happier, just more medicated.  
 
Huge cultural shifts led to a rethinking of womanhood, but could there be more behind it than just culture, politics, and rhetoric? 
 
Building off the scriptural foundations of the anti-Christ, Carrie Gress makes an in-depth investigation into the idea of an anti-Mary—as a spirit, not an individual—that has plagued the West since the ’60s. Misleading generations of women, this anti-Marian spirit has led to the toxic femininity that has destroyed the lives of countless men, women, and children.  
 
Also in The Anti-Mary Exposed:How radical feminism is connected to the errors of Russia, spoken of by Our Lady of Fatima.The involvement and influence of the goddess movement and the occult. The influence of “female” demons, such as Lilith and Jezebel.The repulsive underbelly of radical feminism’s chief architects.A look at the matriarchy, a cabal of elite women committed to abortion, who control the thinking of most women through media, politics, Hollywood, fashion, and universities. 
The antidote to the anti-Mary is, of course, Mary, the Mother of God, known widely as the most powerful woman in the world and the source of the belief that women ought to be treated with dignity. She is a beacon of all the virtues and qualities—purity, humility, kindness, beauty—that oppose this sinister force that has cast its spell upon so many women. Mary’s influence is unparalleled by any woman in history. She is the perfect model of Christian femininity, who desires to be a spiritual mother to us all, leading us to her Son, and to the fulfillment of our heart’s deepest desires.

What about the Children? - Five...

Nicole Doyley, Tasha Jun

Multiracial identity brings both gifts and challenges—for kids and their parents. 
 
 
 
Beyond questions about skin tone and other physical characteristics, children may wonder where they fit in the world and why people treat them differently. Parents may find themselves ill-equipped for situations they never faced in their own childhoods. What about the Children? deftly provides families formed by interracial marriage or transracial adoption with the guidance and tools they need to help their children embrace, celebrate, and confidently navigate all parts of their heritage. 
 
 
 
Author Nicole Doyley shares the challenges of growing up biracial without much guidance for navigating her Black and white worlds as well as the intentionality with which she and her Jamaican husband raise their children. Drawing on a wealth of personal anecdotes, expert insights, and practical advice, she illuminates five core values to help multiracial families thrive. From raising one's own awareness of cultural differences to humbly seeking a diverse community of support to honestly preparing children for specific aspects of racism, What about the Children? covers both the basics and nuances of raising children with a sense of pride in their heritage and a strong, resilient sense of self.
