A Soul Spoke to Me - A Soul's...

Mark Haddad

Life often passes by without us pausing to feel what our soul truly yearns for. We think our mortal experience is our individual self, which never changes. We think that it is one undivided and exclusive entity. There is a big divide in how humans believe what we are. We have been looking at reality from the wrong perspective. 
This book delves into the overlooked philosophy of viewing life from the soul’s perspective. It can be challenging to shift our perceptions, but doing so opens up a unique realm of understanding. 
Painting a picture of a soul’s desire will be challenging because all we have known since birth is the human perspective. We will need to think of two perspectives, combining what we think and what we feel together as one. It is possible to share this beautiful way of looking at human life, and it just takes a path to get you to see from the right vantage point. 
My journey is about a soul who has spoken to me, clearly answering my questions in ways a human can understand. The soul did not answer all of them though. The rest of my questions just ended in a metaphorical wink, keeping answers back from me as if there was a surprise at the end...

An Essay on Christian Philosophy

Jacques Maritain

This important essay by the French Catholic philosopher articulates the foundation for his influential interpretations of Thomas Aquinas. Known for his influential writings that brought fresh relevance to the work of Thomas Aquinas, Jacques Maritain was one of the most important Catholic philosophers of the twentieth century. Although An Essay on Christian Philosophy is not generally considered to be among his major works, it is, in a sense, the key to unlocking his massive synthesis of modern Thomism. This provocative essay reveals the inner springs of Maritain’s ideas concerning mankind’s relationship to God.  This lucid translation by Edward H. Flannery includes a glossary of technical terms, making it even more accessible for the general reader.

RECEIVE - The Way of Jesus for Men

Jeff Kemp

Men are told they must earn their manhood. Society has dozens of misguided suggestions, from sexual conquest to a big bank account to six-pack abs. Even in churches, men seek self-assurance through spiritual performance. But all these efforts fail because men are trying to win the approval of their peers, wives, fathers, or even God Himself – leaving them isolated, burnt out, and confused. Would you like to feel secure as a man without competing or pretending? In this book, Jeff Kemp shows you what it means to receive your identity as God's son and learn from Jesus' perfect example of being a man. Jeff encourages you along the way, offering practical advice and transparently sharing his experience as an NFL quarterback, a husband, son, and father. You will see how receiving transforms everything in your life – from finding your purpose to rediscovering deep friendship – and defines what it means to be a real, good man. This is the way of Jesus for men.
