  Parish Priest - Father Michael...

  • 0

  Father Michael McGivney was a man to whom ""family values"" represented more than mere rhetoric, a man who has left a legacy of hope still celebrated around the world. 
  In the late 1800s, discrimination against American Catholics was widespread. Called to action in 1882, Father McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus, an organization that helped to save countless families. It has since grown to an international membership of 1.7 million men. At heart, though, Father McGivney was never anything more than an American parish priest, and nothing less than that, either. 
  In an incredible work of academic research, Douglas Brinkley and Julie M. Fenster re-create the life of Father McGivney, a fiercely dynamic and yet tenderhearted man. Moving and inspirational, Parish Priest chronicles the process of canonization that may well make Father McGivney the first American-born parish priest to be declared a saint by the Vatican.

  Rules for Grown-Ups - Stoic...

  What does it mean to live well in an age of distraction, fragmentation, and noise? Quinn Halverstrom, philosopher and founder of the School of Clear Action, argues that the answer is not new—it is ancient, tested, and more urgent than ever.
  Rules for Grown-Ups draws on Stoic philosophy, depth psychology, modern behavioral science, and the hard-won insights of thinkers from Marcus Aurelius to Viktor Frankl to build a practical framework for the most serious questions adults face: How do we find meaning when traditional structures have collapsed? How do we bear suffering without bitterness? How do we govern ourselves when the world is engineered to distract us? How do we raise children who can stand reality? How do we love honestly, work purposefully, and tell the truth when lying is easier?
  Moving through fifteen interconnected chapters, Halverstrom examines the hidden architecture of a durable life—the load-bearing beams that hold everything together: voluntary responsibility, honest self-confrontation, disciplined attention, and the refusal to lie to oneself. He shows that meaning is not found but built, that suffering is the price of admission rather than a malfunction, and that the ancient distinction between what is within our power and what is not remains the most practical piece of philosophy ever written.
  Through rigorous engagement with primary sources and contemporary research—from Epictetus and Plato to Jung, Gottman, Frankl, and Bonanno—and grounded in real decision scenarios drawn from years of advisory work with executives and entrepreneurs, each chapter translates philosophical principle into a discipline one can actually use. The book does not promise comfort. It offers something more durable: clarity about what a well-built life requires and the intellectual tools to begin constructing it.
  This is philosophy as a survival skill—dense, honest, and unsparing—for anyone willing to do the harder work of becoming someone they could respect.

  A Muslim American Slave - The...

  Omar Ibn Said

  Born to a wealthy family in West Africa around 1770, Omar Ibn Said was abducted and sold into slavery in the United States, where he came to the attention of a prominent North Carolina family after filling "the walls of his room with piteous petitions to be released, all written in the Arabic language," as one local newspaper reported. Ibn Said soon became a local celebrity, and in 1831 he was asked to write his life story, producing the only known surviving American slave narrative written in Arabic. 
   
   
   
  In A Muslim American Slave, Ala Alryyes offers both a definitive translation and an authoritative edition of this singularly important work, lending new insights into the early history of Islam in America and exploring the multiple, shifting interpretations of Ibn Said's narrative by the nineteenth-century missionaries, ethnographers, and intellectuals who championed it. 
   
   
   
  This edition presents the English translation of Ibn Said's Arabic narrative, augmented by Alryyes's comprehensive introduction, contextual essays and historical commentary by leading literary critics and scholars of Islam and the African diaspora and other writings by Omar Ibn Said. The result is an invaluable addition to our understanding of writings by enslaved Americans and a timely reminder that "Islam" and "America" are not mutually exclusive terms.
