Sinossi

Every human person seeks happiness, but few find it, because they have not discovered the source of all happiness: God. In Way to Happiness, Futon Sheen reflects on the most fundamental aspects of our lives: love, politics, motherhood, work, teens, forgiveness, rest, meditation, and more.In a culture stricken with anxiety, boredom, despair, and fear, Sheen desires to reignite healing, hope, and contentment in the reader. While the secular world holds the mistaken belief that hunger for infinity can be satisfied by an infinity of material things, Sheen warns that they really wish for the infinity of divine love. Addressing the philosophy of pleasure, Sheen reminds the reader of the centrality of self-discipline and detachment.At the heart of the Way to Happiness is heroically living out the spirit of charity: love of God and love of neighbor. To achieve a spirit of service and self-donation, a strong interior life is a perequisite. True peace is born in meditation.Lastly, Sheen provides a blueprint to overcome bad habits through introspection, avoiding the occasion of sin, willing the good, and a right philosophy of life. In an age when so few people have time to make a retreat, allow the retreat master, Sheen, to take you on a spiritual journey that will spur you on to holiness. For anyone seeking a clear path to a happy and saintly life, the Way to Happiness will be your guide.

    The warm glow we feel at Christmas is more than sentiment; it is because of the real message of Christmas – Immanuel, God with us.  
    Christ’s coming is the epicentre of the Bible’s message: ‘When the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son....’ It is the story of all Creation being renewed and coming to fulfilment through a man – The Man – Christ Jesus, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, of the Father’s love begotten. 
    Such is the real meaning of Christmas.

    She's never lost a hostage. Surely she can manage to take care of her sister. 
     
    FBI special agent Julianna Jameson is a top-notch negotiator, but when her much younger sister, Dottie, needs a place to live while she finishes high school, Julianna's skills will be put to the test. 
     
    Former sniper Clay Fox left the army after a tragic incident that he can't get past. Until he can figure out what to do with the rest of his life, he's working as a resource officer at a school. Dottie's school.  
     
    When Julianna is called in to negotiate a courtroom hostage situation involving Clay's sister, he's impressed--and, if he's honest, a bit intimidated--by the calm, capable woman with the dark hair and blue eyes, and invites her to speak at the school.  
     
    But as the anniversary of a school shooting from Julianna's past approaches, it becomes clear that her perfect record is about to be tested and that Dottie is at risk. If Julianna and Clay can't figure out who's behind the attacks, more innocent people will die--and Dottie is next in line. 
     
    "Expertly plotted and relentlessly paced. This high-octane thriller keeps up the momentum through the final page."--Publishers Weekly

    Embark on an enlightening expedition through the lesser-known yet fascinating text of 1 Esdras — one of the Apocrypha books included in the Original 1611 King James Bible and often regarded as an apocryphal treasure. This ancient manuscript, echoing the chronicles of Ezra, offers a distinctive perspective on pivotal moments in Jewish history. Journey into the heart of the Jewish exile and return, as 1 Esdras masterfully recounts the trials and triumphs of the Israelites. The narrative beautifully intertwines historical events with spiritual insights, offering a deeper understanding of the Jewish people's resilience and faith during their Babylonian captivity and subsequent liberation. Discover the intriguing narrative of the three bodyguards' debate in King Darius' court, a story exclusive to 1 Esdras that highlights wisdom, truth, and the strength of youth. This tale not only captivates with its eloquence but also offers profound reflections on the virtues that govern human life and leadership. Delve into the restoration of the Temple in Jerusalem, a central theme of 1 Esdras. This account provides a vivid depiction of the challenges and triumphs involved in rebuilding a nation's spiritual heart. The text encourages contemplation on the importance of faith, community, and perseverance in the face of adversity. Concluding with reflections on the power of prayer and the role of divine providence, 1 Esdras invites you on a quest to unearth the hidden gems within its chapters. As one of the apocryphal books of the Bible, it ignites curiosity about historical interpretations, the resilience of faith, and the enduring lessons that resonate through time.
