Confucius

Maison d'édition: DigiCat

Synopsis

The Analects, a collection of sayings and ideas attributed to Confucius, offers profound insights into the ethics and philosophy of this ancient sage. Rooted in the context of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the text is written in a conversational style, interspersed with dialogues and reflections that illuminate the core tenets of Confucian thought, such as filial piety, moral integrity, and the importance of virtuous leadership. Its literary simplicity belies the depth of its philosophical inquiry, making it both accessible and richly layered for multiple interpretations across centuries. Confucius, born in 551 BCE in what is now Shandong Province, emerged as a pivotal figure in Chinese history, advocating for a system of ethics rooted in pragmatism and humanity. His life was marked by a dedication to education and the cultivation of moral virtues, heavily influenced by the tumultuous political landscape of his time. This backdrop inspired him to compile his thoughts on governance, morality, and social harmony, which are timelessly relevant to both individual conduct and societal structure. For anyone interested in ethics, philosophy, or the foundations of Eastern thought, The Analects is an indispensable text. Its teachings not only resonate within the framework of Confucianism but also offer universal reflections on human nature and interpersonal relationships. Readers will find this work both enlightening and transformative, providing essential insights that remain relevant in contemporary discussions.

God-Given or Bust - Defeating...

Cheryl K. Chumley, Pastor Jack...

In America, either rights come from God—or they don't. This is the ultimate war, and God-Given or Bust tells how patriots can win. 
 
 
 
American exceptionalism is rooted in the idea that individual rights come from God and government is only in place to preserve and protect those rights. But America's losing sight of that concept. America's turning into a country where the government grants rights and privileges to only those the government deems worthy—and takes them from those it deems unworthy. This is not how the Founding Fathers envisioned the nation; this is not how the concept of inalienable rights coming from a Creator works. Rather, this is how Marxism, communism, and collectivism spread. 
 
 
 
If we want a nation that's free for generations to come, then we must reclaim the notion of God-given and ditch the idea of government-granted. The only way to do that is for Americans of faith to rise up and inject biblical values and godly principles into government, culture, and society, and put God once again at the center. It's time to demand the God-given—or the great American experiment will come to an end.

The Last Day Before Exile -...

Selin Bucak

When we hear news stories about displaced people, people running away from war, living in exile, they're always accompanied by big numbers, presented as waves of immigrants. The Last Day Before Exile re-focuses the narrative to the human side, sharing some of the hardest moments of their lives, where they had to make the decision to stay or go.

Tracing the steps of professionals who have moved from the Gaza Strip, Pakistan, Morocco, Iran, Afghanistan Turkey, and Ukraine, Selin Bucak shares stories of rebellion, fear, and, in some cases, victory.

To truly understand what immigrants often have to go through at the hands of governments, legislation, and war, we need to put ourselves into the shoes of the people living in exile.

Unexpected You

Chelsea M. Cameron

Cade: When I applied for a job as a personal assistant, I had no idea I’d be working for THE Eloise Roth. One of the queens of romance novels, who has dozens of bestsellers under her belt. I also had no idea that she would be strict, demanding, and difficult. Every single day I think about quitting, but for some reason I keep coming back for more. 
  
Eloise: My new personal assistant Cadence “Cade” (ridiculous nickname, honestly) McCord is a chaotic mess who obviously lied on her resume, but something about her made me hire her anyway. Now I’m having regrets, but I’m also … intrigued. She’s young and there’s an energy about her that I like having around. 
  
Cade: I have no idea when the hell Eloise went from my intimidating boss to the woman who stars in all of my dirtiest fantasies, but it’s becoming a real problem, and my already scattered brain is having even more trouble functioning. I’m so getting fired. 
  
Eloise: I’m going to have to fire her. There’s no other solution to the situation I’ve found myself in. People assume that my life has been full of romance, but it’s actually the opposite. I’ve always been laser focused on my career. So why am I suddenly having new and embarrassing (and inappropriate) feelings for my absolute disaster of an assistant?
