Faith, Reason, and the New Mass Translation.
John C Wilhelmsson
Chaos to Order Publishing

In late 2011 the Catholic Mass was changed from the clear modern English of the Novus Ordo Mass to an obtuse literal translation from the Latin. According to the Catholic theological principle "Lex Orandi, Lex Credendi" this change in the prayer of the Church also brought with it a change in the belief of the Church. This book details the translation change and the effect it is having on Catholic belief. It also delves into the history of the issue and what the agenda behind the change actually was. Featuring, "The Old 'We Believe' Crowd," "A Tale of Two Traditions," and the basic ordinary text of the 1973 Novus Ordo Mass, here is a reflection on the Mass that has shaped the faith of the English speaking Catholic world for the past 40 years along with a vigorous argument why, even according to the principles of Catholic thought itself, its demise was unjust.

The missionary task remains essentially the same from century to century. Fire & Ice traces common threads in tales of missionary adventure from the 1800s. Glimpse the lives of pioneer missionaries and local Christians in locations ranging from the Arctic Circle to just beyond the southern tip of Patagonia, from the coral islands of Fiji to the Himalayan plateau of Tibet.The diversity of people God called and equipped to carry out His worldwide mission in the 19th century is just as staggering as the variety of places He sent them. Kapi'olani, a Hawaiian chief, climbed a volcano to prove the power of her God. George Mackay, a Canadian, pulled teeth in Taiwan to prove the exact same thing. Coley Patteson, grandnephew of the poet Coleridge, and Allen Gardiner, a former navy captain, died on two beaches 7,500 miles apart for exactly the same reason: they believed that the gospel of Jesus Christ is for every person on earth.Fire & Ice condenses and updates John C. Lambert's 1907 text for modern readers. You won't find any perfect models to emulate in this book, but you might find faith that convicts, courage that inspires and adventures that excite you to strike out on a similar path of missionary intention. If you do, you'll find yourself in good-if unusual-company. The unity of purpose and faith among God's people across the centuries stands out all the more for the diversity of our backgrounds and circumstances.
In 2013 the philosophy department at San Jose State University stood almost alone against its own administration, a group of opportunist politicians, and a well funded high-tech start-up who were all attempting to destroy university education as we know it by pushing Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs). In the aftermath of this modern day academic stand at Thermopylae a member of the department conducted his own reflections on the art of teaching while at the same time documenting the MOOC controversy. Here is a collection of essays on teaching born out of a real educational crisis, along with an inside perspective on the ongoing fight against MOOCs (large print).
Large print and fully illustrated] Iceland's history is told in the stories of its celebrated figures. From Viking explorers to Saga heroes, the voices that define Icelandic culture are well known. Yet one man in Iceland's past had difficulty finding the words to form his own voice and be known for who he really was: Thorl k Th rhallsson, declared by his people "The Patron Saint of Iceland" in 1198 and officially canonized by Pope John Paul II in 1984. Yet, despite these honors, few have ever heard Thorl k's complete and true story: A child prodigy treated as an adult by those around him, a sorrowful boy from a broken home, a scholar of the emerging theology of merciful love, an innovator in pastoral leadership, and a man who understood the fundamental need to love and be loved. Thorl k of Iceland is an opportunity at last to celebrate this quiet hero who embodies the spiritual heart of the Icelandic people, and to learn from his inspiring true story wisdom for our own age.

Linking Science and Science History with Culture - Essential Science for the Non-scientist. The Davey Dialogues is an easy-to-understand history and background to key discoveries which have altered our perception of the universe and of ourselves, couched as a dialogue between the writer and a mysterious extra-terrestrial being with an agenda that may surprise you. Now, for the first time ever, we can delight in a coherent story about us and our universe. What the physicists and the philosophers, the economists and the ecologists, the anthropologists and the animal behaviouralists, the religious historians, the neuroscientists and the biochemists are telling us by and large falls into place to provide a consistent story of the development of the universe and of humanity. Of course the story is not yet complete. There is much more yet to discover and understand, but the outlines are there in ample detail. The dialogues provide background on the historical development of carefully selected scientific topics which are important to our understanding of ourselves and our surroundings. Amongst the questions discussed are: What do we know about our universe and how did we find out? How do we know how old it is, and, for that matter, how far away individual stars and galaxies are? How might life have originated? How does life replicate and change over time? How did religion evolve and why? To what extent do our brains resemble computers? How do we remember faces, facts and figures, and how do we think laterally? Do we have a free will? What is happiness and how can we maximize it? " A] rich, intelligent . . important book . . . clearly written." J. Fraser Mustard, CC, Founding President, The Canadian Institute for Advanced Research.

A Book of Poetry Reviews: In the world of poetry, there are those who paint intricate pictures with simple words-and those who hone their craft, serving a greater purpose with their pen. In Disabled Monsters, John C. Mannone does both, creating bold displays of imagery while depicting how the human race deals with physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral disabilities. The opening poem in the book, entitled "Empty Shells", starts off with a quote from John Donne. The quote reads, "All mankind is of one author, and is one volume; when one man dies, one chapter is not torn out of the book but translated unto a better language." From there, Mannone opens the floodgates of imagery for the reader The tree sways its arms, crossing them, fingers moving in the weave of its hands, as if to sign. You can read the quaking of leaves telling us the quiet truth-we are not the children of a lesser God. ("The Dogwood") -Erin M. Kelly, Wordgathering: A Journal of Disability Poetry and Literature. Intense with emotional mystery. Mannone reveals a world of war, lost love, catastrophic illness, depression and regret-so many of the sorrows humans inherit during life. Yet, in the evolution of these poems, Mannone's honesty, his power of story, individual persona's love and kindness, and above all, the courage to seek a prayerful life, helps to disable these monsters. Every sun-filled dawn/I will steal its colors/and celebrate until/my throat is crimsoned/with joy, Mannone writes in "Lilies & Morning Matins." In "Light Blooms" this thought is echoed: No longer am I a child/of the dark. I have grown/into light and I now can see, /count each glimmer, touch each hope...I am not alone anymore. Readers of Disabled Monsters will celebrate a life's renascence at the end of these poems. -Bill Brown is the author of nine poetry collections, including "Elemental" (Taos Press, November 2014). He is a former Breadloaf scholar and distinguished professor at Vanderbilt University.

"Nature's Terrorist Hurricane Irma" is so much more than a book about a natural disaster that ravaged an entire Caribbean nation. It is a riveting story about triumph over adversity. It is about hope emerging from despair. And above all, it is about a man, his family, and his countrymen finding the silver lining behind the darkest of dark clouds. Chris Richardson is an exceptional human being, a proud Anguillan, and an inspirational writer. His book will grip you with fear as he recounts how his tiny island homeland weathered the terrorist storm, and then it will uplift you as they rise from the rubble, rededicate, and rebuild.- Marshall Karp# 1 New York Times Bestselling Author

"Shoot him with an elf arrow "Learn why this may be author John C. Wright's most famous line A collection of brilliant and thought-provoking essays by the science fiction grandmaster John C. Wright. From the history of the Golden Age of science fiction to the ideology of the gender wars presently dividing hard science fiction from urban fantasy-romance, Wright's commentary is always intelligent, observant, and precisely to the point.In the 16 essays that make up the collection, Wright addresses a wide spectrum of ideas. He considers the darker possibilities of transhumanism, provides a professorial lesson on the mechanics of writing fiction, explains the noble purpose underlying science fiction, and shows how the genre's obsession with strong female characters is nothing less than an attack on human nature. In every essay, Wright exhibits his compassion, his humanity, and his deep and abiding love for literature.John C. Wright has been described as one of the most important and audacious authors in science fiction today. In a recent poll of more than 1,000 science fiction readers, he was chosen as the sixth-greatest living science fiction writer.
