The Enlightenment Truth Came on Winds of a Raging Storm Think you know what's real. Read "The Enlightenment" and prepare to question everything. Jack Tessler was profoundly disillusioned when his mother told him Santa Claus was nothing but an urban myth. Yet unlike most children his age, Jack did not take the news lightly. His parents' fabrication created festering doubts that forced their son to question everything he blindly accepted on faith and his parents' trusted word. Thus, in time, Jack's mission was to understand the world around him through the prism of science and reason. The Journey BeginsIt's early Christmas morning, 2017. All air traffic has been suspended as a blizzard of enormous scale pummels the US. An alarm sounds in the Dulles air traffic control tower. A 1950's era prop-driven aircraft is on final approach, and it's one not seen aloft in four decades. Meanwhile Jack Tessler receives an urgent call from NSA director Alex Long. What the young physicist learns will radically alter his belief system and shake the very foundations of modern science. It seems the plane in question left Boston's Logan Airport early Christmas morning 1954. Tessler's journey of discovery will take him to a place no human has ever gone...it is the only place that's real. Stephen Berberich MD, FACC [email protected]

The Origin of Evil A group of well-intentioned geneticists in charge of the first designer baby project at a fertility clinic in Southern California were on the brink of an incredable discovery. Their arrogance ultimately led to a critical error in judgment. The dire consequences of that blunder wouldn't be evident for years to come. Unfortunately, by then it was too late. Vatican City-twenty years later Pope Peter II, the first American Pontiff, began having nightmares so vivid and realistic that on the last night of each month he was unable to sleep. The night frights were always the same. Horrific evil was spreading through population centers like an aggressive cancer. Worse yet, these nightmares had escaped the boundaries of the Pope's dreams and invaded reality. Father Kevin McCarthy, a noted American geneticist, was urgently summoned to Vatican City to investigate these strange happenings. What he and his colleague, Meighan Cole, found would join science and religion at the hip and then turn each discipline on its respective ear. They discovered that pure evil had its ancestral roots in human DNA and those individuals missing a prime gene and their names were replete in the annals of history. But what Kevin found while drilling even deeper into this matter was more alarming. This new and burgeoning generation of evil, led by Daman Leonard and his Master Plan, was not the product of classical evolution, but one created in a laboratory using a computer and a petri dish. This evil, if not confronted quickly, was destined to change the nature of man and turn the human race into an advanced species with no genetic soul.

Understanding Christian art of the Middle Ages During the Middle Ages, religious art had a variety of functions and was prevalent in churches, public spaces, and private homes. Sculptures and paintings were used as altarpieces, movable images, choir screens, piers or niches, and reliquaries. They were placed behind, above, or near altars as well as on pulpits, lecterns, building exteriors, holy water fonts, tombs, and roadside shrines. They were also used for private devotion in the home. In addition to the obvious didactic function of religious images in medieval art, they filled other needs of both the beholder and the church: veneration. Candles were lit and censed before the sacred images; offerings were made in the name of the figures who were honored and cherished in a very direct way. Sacred images, served to remind Christians of the pious and virtuous lives of the saints and of their sacrifices and were an aid to meditation,. They embellished sacred spaces, giving them an otherworldly luster. Sacred art was an important ingredient in the formative power and energy of medieval piety.Some of the most profound and enduring works of art in Western civilization were produced for private devotion and public worship. Indeed, many of the most significant artists of the Middle Ages and Renaissance earned their livelihoods producing religious art in the service of the church. To access and understand this art today, we must be aware of its context, its intended audience, and its functions in the public or private space. In A Higher Contemplation, author Stephen N. Fliegel introduces medieval Christian iconography and its forms, meaning, function, context, and symbolism to twenty-first-century audiences. Serving as a guide to the subtleties, complexities, richness, range, and antiquity of medieval Christian artistic traditions and the multiple levels in which they can be understood, this book will aid the reader in a journey of discovery and understanding of those sacred images. Beautifully designed will full-color illustrations, A Higher Contemplation will appeal to students, teachers, travelers, art lovers, and those with an aspiring interest in the culture of the Middle Ages and the history of religion."Works of this quality and breadth are a diminishing resource. Stephen Fliegel effortlessly conveys the complexity of medieval visual culture with a fluency that reflects his consummate command of the subject. He combines an understanding of the medieval past with a flair for modern communication that will establish this publication as a standard text for students, scholars and the general public alike." – James Robinson, Senior Curator of Late Medieval Collections, The British Museum"In A Higher Contemplation, Stephen Fliegel reads the contemplative soul of the Middle Ages as if anticipating the contemporary turn in present day America to contemplative living. This rich, beautiful book reveals the hidden meanings of medieval sacred art to a postmodern age hungry for a sense of the sacred and a path to contemplative living." – Rev. Donald Cozzens, Writer in Residence, John Carroll University and author of The Changing Face of the Priesthood

Blaise Pascal (1623-62) was a provocative and important thinker. Both the range and the influence of his work is immense. His Pensees ("Thoughts"), unfinished and composed of fragments, is widely regarded as a classic of Christian apologetics. In this volume, the reader is introduced to this work, with a view to both describing what Pascal says and assessing its present value. After introducing the man and his life, Pascal's views on reason and the heart, and on human wretchedness and greatness, are discussed before asking in a final chapter, "Would you bet on God?" An appendix treats Pascal and modernity. Four hundred years on, Pascal's voice can still be heard. Four hundred years on, we still need to heed it. Pascal does not simply speak from the mind to the mind. He speaks as a person to persons.

Williams draw on their expertise in theology and counseling to equip you. Ignorant helpfulness can be damaging; a truly fruitful response must be informed, not just well--intentioned. Before we can aid in recovery, we must gain a deeper understanding of trauma's emotional and spiritual implications. Moreover, we need a Christian perspective on trauma. Discover how Christ is the light and life that defeats darkness and death. The Questions for Restless Minds series applies God's word to today's issues. Each short book faces tough questions honestly and clearly, so you can think wisely, act with conviction, and become more like Christ.
Born into the tenets of faith but tormented by ungodly acts on the Caribbean Island of St Lucia, Stephen's unwavering belief in the power of the Supreme Being through prayer, while tapping into his inner strength to navigate a maze of affliction throughout his journey was the essence of averting comprehensive defeat. His voyage to England in 1979 presented his best chance to elude sorcery. Still, his share of new challenges was served-namely, racism. While it was harrowing to experience in his profession, his recital of the appropriate psalms ensured his overcoming every hurdle. The hierarchical control system his mother had instilled in the family many years prior followed the older siblings who had travelled before him to the UK. This system gave rise to a power struggle as Stephen clung to more progressive ideals. His marriage to Rose was a turning point as he adapted to his unfamiliar environment. Stephen's return to Saint Lucia permanently in 2002 was precipitated by moments of utter despair. Conquering the unending obstacles along his path would be impossible without invoking the power of his Creator and his unyielding determination to succeed.

The Cleveland table fountain, dated c. 1320?40, is the only version of its kind to have survived in its complete form from the Middle Ages. A superb example of French Gothic goldsmithing, it is an exquisite structure and a unique example of courtly taste and princely fashion. In its full working glory, it was designed not for any religious purpose, but purely as an indulgence; the delicate bells would have created a gentle tinkling sound as the perfumed water trickled down into the basin beneath. Acquired by the Cleveland Museum of Art in 1924, the uncertain history of the fountain has added to its charm, and many questions remain worthy of re-examination. Stephen N. Fliegel assesses the fountain in the context of similar luxury objects, discussing its history, use, materials and style. Elina Gertsman elucidates the significance of fountains in the medieval imagination. Once one of many, the Cleveland table fountain is the last of its kind; a fantastic piece of craftsmanship designed to appeal to all the senses. AUTHOR: Stephen N. Fliegel is curator of medieval art at the Cleveland Museum of Art. Elina Gertsman is associate professor, Department of Art History and Art, Case Western Reserve University. SELLING POINTS: . Focuses on one of the most remarkable examples of gothic art to have survived, a unique functioning table decoration. . Will appeal to academics, students, and museum professionals interested in medieval decorative arts, especially goldsmith works and enamels, and automata
