On Lying

Saint Augustin

Sinopsis

"On Lying" presents Saint Augustine's penetrating examination of the moral and ethical dimensions of falsehood, offering timeless insights into the complexities of truth-telling and deception. In this seminal work, Augustine delves into the profound implications of dishonesty on the individual soul and the fabric of society.

With characteristic clarity and depth, Augustine explores the roots of deceit and the consequences of deviating from the path of honesty. Drawing upon biblical teachings, philosophical reflections, and his own spiritual journey, he articulates a compelling case for the intrinsic value of truth and the corrosive nature of falsehood.

Through a series of incisive arguments and thought-provoking anecdotes, Augustine challenges readers to confront their own attitudes towards honesty and integrity. He underscores the importance of sincerity and transparency in fostering authentic relationships and nurturing the moral fiber of society.

At once philosophical and deeply practical, "On Lying" serves as a moral compass for navigating the complexities of human interaction and grappling with the ethical dilemmas of everyday life. Augustine's timeless wisdom continues to resonate across centuries, offering profound guidance to all who seek to live lives of integrity and virtue.

Victor Discovers Treasure - 45...

Sharon Deur

Where do people search for treasure? Deep underwater, in old, dusty mines, in the mountains, even under an old tree on a deserted island. Pirates, bad guys, and even fun-loving little boys bury treasure. To find it you need a special treasure map.
The Bible is God's treasure map. Our reward; our "gold" is living in heaven with Him someday. But sometimes we need help "reading" the map and understanding its mystery language. When adults say "light as a feather" or "strong as an ox", we know what they mean. It is very clear that something doesn't weigh very much or that it is very strong. When the Bible speaks in mystery language it may not be so obvious. Why are we called a pot, a sheep, or a branch? Why is Jesus called a Potter, a Shepherd, a Vine, or even a Ladder?
These 45 daily digs into God's Word give kids some of the clues and discoveries they need to reach life's reward (their treasure) with God the Father someday. Since a donkey is mentioned more than 100 times in the Bible, it is part of the fun and adventure to have "Victor" help us out. "Discovery" involves searching, exploring, digging, and finding something good! The Bible is full of word treasure clues; words that put a picture in our minds to make our journey on this earth a discovery of truth.
Adults call Bible word treasures metaphors, similes, and imagery. It's called "freedom language" in Romans 6:19 from the Message. Paul says, "I'm using this freedom language because it is easy to picture." After each daily dig, there is a list of the Bible verses where the clues can be found. BUT... you have to "Dig Deeper" in the back of the book to find out exactly what those verses say. The versions chosen enable young children to understand. There is also an interactive activity that parents and grandparents can help with. This book will cause children to smile, laugh, think, and ponder. But most of all they will discover the pathway to gold--freedom language for Heaven.

Turn Toward the Sun - Releasing...

Mandy Hale

If recent world events have taught us anything, it's that life doesn't always look the way we want it to look. And while we can't control the curveballs life throws at us, we can control our response to them. We can choose to loosen our grip on what we think life is "supposed" to be and embrace life for exactly what it is—messiness and mayhem and all. We can choose to stubbornly turn toward the sun, even as the storm rages around us. That surrender is where true happiness and peace lie. 
 
 
 
With insights born from her own hard-won battles, Mandy Hale turns her attention (and her sizable wit) to showing you what she's learned about letting go of the desire to control everything in life. With the honesty and authenticity she's known for, Mandy inspires you to stop striving, live in the moment, sit with your experiences, and trust God with the unknown. 
 
 
 
Like sunflowers that turn toward the sun that helps them grow tall and strong, we can turn to friends, family, and faith for strength in difficult times. 
 
 
 
If you've felt depleted or despairing as you've wrestled with circumstances beyond your control, you will find in Mandy a kind and trustworthy guide through the storm.
