As we stand before the microwave and shout, "Hurry!" do we have any concept of what it means to be still? Do we seek moments for the blood-covered Savior who died for us on an old rugged cross? Becky Blackmon has answers for us in Seek the Precious Moments. The text is not parallel with most time-management books, but it conforms to the Good Book. Each of the 13 chapters is preceded by "Time with Becky" relating her experiences with hurrying, building her house for Jesus, and jumping into the deep end of commitment. One of her "times" describes her red-headed mom in trying moments, "She's Come Undone." The humorous narrative drives home the pointlessness of hurrying and the lasting benefit of spiritual renewal. From the first chapter, "I Am Woman, Hear Me Gasp!" to the last "Jesus Take the Wheel," readers are motivated to seek matters of the soul. Her tips on guiding parents to teach children to know the Lord are especially gripping in the chapter "Time to Love That Family." Readers participate in short "Pause and Ponder" thoughts and "Keep Seeking" scripture challenges. These "write-it-down" inserts make a life-changing impact on the heart of each reader. The bottom line question of yesterday, today, and tomorrow is, "Will you find the time for Jesus?" Pause, think, peruse, and consider. And with your Bible by your side, Seek the Precious Moments.

The author, Dale Manternach, is a second generation farmer/rancher; born, raised and educated in Scobey, Montana. During his one year at the University of Minnesota at age seventeen, his talent for writing composition was discovered and encouraged. He married a classmate from across the Canadian border, Lois Anderson. They parented four sons and two daughters. His marriage ended on August 6, 1995 when Lois went home to meet her Maker, her beloved Master. In 1999 he retired, met and married Alice Hedin and moved to Sioux Falls, SD to become a member of Abiding Savior Free Lutheran Church. Most of these devotions were created from is seventy three years of eastern Montana life experiences, coupled with spiritual truths, principles, promises and testimonies of faith-builders he enjoyed in overcoming many of life's trials as a man of agriculture, a parent, and friend to many, and a devout, truly born-again man of God, hungry for God's Word. He is looking forward to a blessed eternity in Heaven with Jesus. I want to acknowledge and thank some key people who made his book possible: Pastor Mark Chase and his wife Mary for introducing me to Xulon Press Publishers. Friend Stan Pickard for helping get started. Typists and editors: Daughter Ingrid Lardson, Grand-daughter Nichole Larson, friend Heather Ellyson, friends Bill and Shirley Scott for various chores along the way, and my faithful mate Alice for some good ideas and daily encouragement, and showing special interest all the way.

Connecting to the inner self is the best means to overcome adversity. The book is a guide to self-realization so as to make optimal decisions to prevent being overwhelmed by an oppressive situation. Freedom is a state of mind. One must begin by making changes within the self to realize the depth of ones freedom. Self-realized thoughts overcome trials and tribulations. These transform actions based in reasoned solutions. Active learning, self correction in self-love helps achieve optimal thoughts. Inner consciousness improves actions that withstand adversity. This enduring philosophy is a fail- safe, tried and true method to uphold autonomy of the self. Oppression is best overcome with self-assured wisdom that exposes ignorance. To overcome limited consciousness, ones identity is also open to reconsideration. The notion of One World lies in consciously connecting to the collective as a whole while securing ones unique individuality.

Bernard Bolzano (1781-1850) is increasingly recognized as one of the greatest nineteenth-century philosophers. A philosopher and mathematician of rare talent, he made ground-breaking contributions to logic, the foundations and philosophy of mathematics, metaphysics, and the philosophy of religion. Many of the larger features of later analytic philosophy (but also many of the details) first appear in his work: for example, the separation of logic from psychology, his sophisticated understanding of mathematical proof, his definition of logical consequence, his work on the semantics of natural kind terms, or his anticipations of Cantor's set theory, to name but a few. To his contemporaries, however, he was best known as an intelligent and determined advocate for reform of Church and State. Based in large part on a carefully argued utilitarian practical philosophy, he developed a program for the non-violent reform of the authoritarian institutions of the Hapsburg Empire, a program which he himself helped to set in motion through his teaching and other activities. Rarely has a philosopher had such a great impact on the political culture of his homeland. Persecuted in his lifetime by secular and ecclesiastical authorities, long ignored or misunderstood by philosophers, Bolzano's reputation has nevertheless steadily increased over the past century and a half. Much discussed and respected in Central Europe for over a century, he is finally beginning to receive the recognition he deserves in the English-speaking world. This book provides a comprehensive and detailed critical introduction to Bolzano, covering both his life and works.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.” Anthropologist Margaret Mead’s famous quote may come to mind as you read this second volume in the Seeking Our Humanity series. In the first book, a small group of friends learned that the environmental crisis plaguing the Earth was not only grounded in our material pollution of land, seas and skies. A mysterious traveler from another plane of existence taught them that the Life Being Earth feels the anger, hatred, violence, and cruelty that people bear toward one another; they poison her life’s very essence. Gently and firmly, he emphasized the urgency of the crisis and the gravity of the stakes: Earth will soon reach a tipping point that will make her uninhabitable for humankind. The mysterious guest invited them to join with beings throughout the universe to rescue the Earth, and taught them the simple steps that they could take daily to help her heal from this invisible, deadly toxicity. Called and empowered to be part of the solution, they joined forces to do so. In this installment, the commitment of these twelve dear friends to the mission deepens and expands. As they hone their skills, they confront the deep-seated doubts and fears that arise from so daunting a challenge. Readers find themselves embraced in the tender compassion that permeates their relationships, the deep listening and encouragement that they share with one another. Those who seek to heal the Earth, find healing themselves.
