The plans that motivated their voyage were ano less grand than taking part in the Protestant conversion of the entire world.

There is a moment many of us have known. You are standing at a kitchen window, or pausing beside a garden bed, or driving past a stretch of lawn kept green and tidy — and feeling, underneath it all, a question you cannot quite form. Something has been lost. Something is asking to be tended. Life is Relationship begins in that moment — and walks you gently forward from it.

Belief: surely it's a relic from the past, a hangover from a superstitious age that is totally out of sync with today's rational, science-led culture? In today's science-driven, rational world, belief is dismissed as an artefact of a bygone era – something absurd at best, harmful at worst. The prevailing narratives paint belief as primitive, weird, even dangerous. But as life grows ever more confusing and our societies more atomised, contemplating something bigger than ourselves has never been more vital.

Written as letters addressed to Lucilius, these meditations combine practical advice with deep philosophical insight, showing how reason, self-command, and inner freedom can help a person face uncertainty, loss, desire, and fear.

Its complex imagery, apocalyptic tone, and theological depth invite careful study, yet its message often gets lost amid speculation and sensationalism. Through thoughtful exposition and drawing on years of teaching, research, and pastoral experience, Jon Korkidakis helps readers reclaim the heart of John’s vision. This book offers a fresh, balanced vision of the apocalypse, one that speaks with clarity, depth, and relevance for today’s church.

Those of Christian faith and those without all carry personalized perceptions about Jesus of Nazareth – some form of god and/or man who sojourned briefly on earth 20 centuries ago. Perspectives vary wildly. But few, whether of Christian or non-Christian persuasion, feel comfortable characterizing this Jesus as one who brashly declares that he came not to bring peace on earth… but rather division. In this book, author Eric Hovee traces a seemingly never-ending Christian dialogue and practice that may espouse peace but often engages in conflict.

Are you Catholic? Do you really understand your Catholic faith? The Bible has much to say about how one who is born in the faith can experience a deeper and personal walk with God, and be assured of eternal life in Heaven. Author Ann Rowan shares how she met God in a way that transcended her religious Catholic background, and changed her life forever. You too can have that experience.

When it appeared in 1670, Baruch Spinoza’s Theological-Political Treatise was denounced as the most dangerous book ever published. In A Book Forged in Hell, Steven Nadler tells the fascinating story of this extraordinary book: its radical claims and their background in the philosophical, religious, and political tensions of the Dutch Golden Age, as well as the vitriolic reaction these ideas inspired.

In Canceled, historian Steve Weidenkopf (The Real Story of Catholic History) digs into some of the most controversial Catholics ever to capture the popular imagination. He looks at notorious figures like Christopher Columbus and Marie Antoinette, so associated with their presumed evils that the modern world has completely written them off—canceled them from any favorable mention or memory. And worse, the world now uses them as brushes to tar the whole Church.

في الواقع، وكما ذكرنا ذلك سابقًا، تقترن درجة الوعي بمدى حساسية الكينونة. فكلما ازداد وعينا بالواقع كنا أكثر حساسية ضمنه، وستزداد، بذلك، قابليتنا لاختبار الشعور الكثيف بالفرح والمعاناة على حد سواء. إن نزعتنا إلى السعادة أو إلى التعاسة تنبع لاحقًا من تصوّرنا لحياة سعيدة، لأننا إذا اعتقدنا أن تحقيق السعادة يشترط عدم معرفة المعاناة، فسنتموقع آليًا، وعلى نحو من المفارقة، ضمن منظورٍ يُعزّز المعاناة بما أنّ الحياة لن تستجيب أبدًا لمثل هذه الانتظارات اللاواقعية، وسنكون بذلك في صراع دائم ضدّها.
