Summary

The Strength of Faith - Christian Omnibus is a profound anthology that represents a broad spectrum of Christian thought spanning nearly two millennia. This collection juxtaposes the theological rigor of early Church Fathers like St. Augustine and Athanasius of Alexandria with the philosophical inquiries of modern thinkers such as Nietzsche and David Hume. It weaves together diverse literary styles—from the mystical writings of St. Teresa of Ávila to the narrative depth of Dostoevsky and Dante—highlighting the evolution and enduring relevance of Christian intellectual and spiritual discourse. Standout pieces provide a multi-faceted look at Christian doctrine and its application through the ages, reflecting both unity and discord within the faith. The contributors to this anthology comprise an illustrious assembly of theologians, philosophers, poets, and scholars whose lives and works have profoundly influenced not only Christianity but also the broader cultural and philosophical landscape. Key figures such as Martin Luther and Thomas Paine are included, whose revolutionary ideas catalyzed significant religious and social transformations. Engaging with this collection, readers witness the historical and cultural variability in understanding and expressing Christian faith, providing a rich context to each author's perspective. 'The Strength of Faith - Christian Omnibus' offers a unique literary journey for readers interested in exploring the depth and breadth of Christian thought. This anthology serves not only as an educational resource but also as a vibrant dialogue between influential voices that shaped and continuously re-shape Christian theology and philosophy. It is recommended for scholars, students of religion, and anyone intrigued by the philosophical and spiritual questions that have both united and divided thinkers throughout Christian history. This compilation promises to enlighten, challenge, and inspire deep reflection on the strength and complexity of faith.

    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.

    This book traces the dramatic stories of five of the most influential empires in medieval and late antiquity, exploring how they rose to greatness, maintained control, and ultimately declined or transformed. 
    Begin with The Fall of Rome, the collapse that set the stage for the medieval world. Learn how internal strife, economic decay, and barbarian invasions led to the downfall of one of history’s greatest civilizations, creating a power vacuum that reshaped Europe. 
    Discover The Byzantine Empire, the eastern continuation of Rome, which blended Roman governance, Orthodox Christianity, and Greek culture to become a resilient power for over a thousand years. From Justinian’s legal reforms to the fall of Constantinople, its story is one of cultural brilliance and gradual decline. 
    Explore the fragmented yet enduring structure of The Holy Roman Empire, a complex patchwork of territories that struggled to balance local autonomy with imperial ambition. This section reveals the ongoing conflicts between emperors and popes, as well as the empire's role in shaping central Europe. 
    Witness the unstoppable rise of The Mongol Empire, the largest contiguous land empire in world history. Led by Genghis Khan and his successors, it connected East and West through conquest, terror, and unexpected cultural exchange. 
    Finally, delve into The Rise of the Ottoman Empire, a story of transformation from a frontier beylik into a formidable Islamic empire that would eventually absorb Byzantine lands and challenge Europe for centuries. 
    Together, these five empires showcase the complexity, ambition, and fragility of medieval powers—and how their legacies continue to influence the world today.

  • Educating in Faith - A History of the English Catholic Public School - cover

    Educating in Faith - A History...

    Roman Catholic public schools in England emerged from the early 1800s as part of the wider educational mission of a Catholic church seeking to support a growing Catholic population.
    
     
    Around a dozen such schools – male, boarding, upper class and staffed by priests, monks and brothers from the dioceses and religious orders – had emerged by the early twentieth century. Some – Ampleforth, Stonyhurst, St Edmund’s, Beaumont, the Oratory, Downside, or Prior Park – catered for an aristocratic clientele, whilst others – Douai, Mt St Mary, Ratcliffe or Cotton – sought more middle class pupils. Their objectives were similar: the creation of a new Catholic elite which might take its place in the Establishment.
    
     
    By the mid-twentieth century, they were at their zenith, but at the millennium they faced the challenges of declining vocations to the religious life, a stagnant Catholic population, and a series of child sexual abuse cases.
    
     
    Educating in Faith seeks to place a diverse set of school histories within the wider demographic, social and religious development of Roman Catholicism in England. It seeks to move beyond the finer detail of school histories to better understand the place of the public schools within the Catholic educational mission and the nature of the academic, cultural and spiritual character of these institutions. As co-education, increasing competition, the disappearance of a religious workforce in the schools and the child sexual abuse crises altered school environments, the book reflects on the contemporary relevance, place and character of these schools.
