Uncompromised - The Surprising Power of Integrity in a Corrupt World

Dan Desmarques

Sinopse

The subject of ethics has been debated by ancient philosophers and continues to be debated today because, although ignored by many, it permeates the core of our interactions and is present in the choices we make and how those choices affect us. We might even say that ethics is the Greek counterpart to the study of the Indian concept of dharma, or the understanding of the relationship between causes, consciousness, and their effects. The study of ethics is not merely a study of morality, but an important advance in the direction of our own consciousness. The more we know about what makes us moral or immoral, the better our choices will be, and the closer we will be to a life of meaning and joy. There is no enlightenment without consciousness, and no higher consciousness without an understanding of ethics, which must follow an advance in the development of reason. Thus, the study of ethics is part of the path to becoming a more capable person in the many areas of life.

Borden of Yale - The Life and...

Mrs. Howard Taylor

The Inspiring Life and Legacy of William Borden, a Man of Unwavering Faith and Profound Impact
William Borden was extraordinary in almost every sense. Born into wealth and privilege, he could have chosen to live a life of luxury and ease. Instead, he surrendered it all for a life of service to Christ. "Borden of Yale" is the riveting account of a man who exemplified what it means to be fully committed to God.
Raised in Moody Church in Chicago and educated at both Yale and Princeton, Borden first felt the missionary call during a round-the-world journey gifted to him by his parents at the age of sixteen. The following year, he received a distinct call to dedicate his life to serving the Muslims of China, a decision that shaped everything he did from that point forward.
Though a scholar in his own right, Borden's theological insights were not merely intellectual pursuits; they were living beliefs that propelled him into action. From leading Bible studies in dorms and founding the Yale Hope Mission to serving as a director at the National Bible Institute and spearheading evangelistic efforts that impacted the entire city of Cairo, Borden was unwavering in his commitment to share the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
As promising as his life appeared, Borden passed away in Egypt while en route to serve the Muslims in China. Thousands mourned, contemplating what might have been. Yet countless others have been inspired to follow in his footsteps to the mission field.
William Borden was a visionary, a trailblazer, and an inspiration for all who seek to follow Jesus Christ. This is not just a book; it's an invitation to reevaluate what truly matters and to live wholeheartedly for the Lord.
