"From the time of the great Greek philosophers, the good, true, and beautiful were seen as inseparable. Beauty is always good and true. It can be the still, small voice crying in the wilderness, calling us to higher things. Jimmy Mitchell communicates this with an eloquence and elegance which is itself a thing of beauty." — Joseph Pearce, Biographer of Shakespeare, Solzhenitsyn, Tolkien, and Chesterton In an era marked by rampant secularism and endless noise, the ten principles of Let Beauty Speak empower Christians to evangelize the world by bringing beauty to the forefront of their lives and reminding the world what it means to be human. This book is particularly timely given the social unrest, political upheaval, and cultural strife of our times. The world's problems cannot be solved by worldly solutions. Politics, medicine, technology, and other secular fields have their place in society, but the deepest existential questions of the human heart can only be answered by the beauty of holiness found in the lives of the saints. From cave diving in Austria to summer camps in New Zealand, Let Beauty Speak is full of personal stories and rich theology that will inspire you to become a great saint as you apply the book's principles to your own life. Each chapter is organized into beautiful, bite-size sections that make it easy for non-academics to enjoy. Each chapter also concludes with practical tips and recommendations that give you an opportunity to further personalize the principles and transform your day-to-day life. From embracing childlike wonder to integrating prayer, work, and leisure into your everyday life, this is your how-to guide for evangelizing others by first living your humanity well. If not you, then who? If not now, then when? Turn these principles into a way of life, and you'll join the long line of saints whose holiness was the remedy for the isolation, confusion, and meaninglessness of their times.

Brought together after tragedy, Edward Wyllie and Dora Williams find the true beauty of love in this poignant and thrilling historical romance set in 1800 Boston and New Hampshire. In an unlikely place for new beginnings, a cemetery, Edward and Dora meet for the first time. But in that forlorn place, the beauty of love blossoms. Edward is still struggling with guilt over the death of his family more than a year ago-a guilt so great he's unable to even look at his childrens' gravestones. As their friendship grows, Dora forces Edward to confront the truth-their deaths were not his fault. And Edward gives Dora, a young Boston widow, a chance to seize love and learn the meaning of passion.But first, they must put their whirlwind courtship on hold as Edward and Dora become embroiled in a shocking family crisis. Edward's brother Captain Sam Wyllie and his wife Catherine, a friend of Dora's since childhood, have come from their home in Kentucky to Boston to confront Catherine's wealthy father Remington Forbes. When Sam and Catherine arrive, both of Catherine's upper-crust parents reject her rugged frontier husband Sam and, heartlessly, their beautiful infant grandson Rory. A powerful businessman, obsessed with wealth, Forbes is desperate to gain control of Sam's property, Wyllie Mountain in New Hampshire. The mountain's abundant and newly discovered gold offers Forbes a chance to escape his insurmountable financial debt. Forbes will stop at nothing and is willing to have Sam murdered to get the gold. By killing Sam, he'll also regain control of the fortune his daughter inherited from her grandfather. Dora resolves to try to help Catherine. She challenges Mr. and Mrs. Forbes to measure themselves not by their wealth and social status, but by how much love they are willing to give others. As hostilities mount, Edward is determined to keep Sam safe from Forbes and his unscrupulous men. But danger awaits on Wyllie Mountain and events quickly spin out of Edward's control. What do you do when the enemy is a family member who will do anything to get what he wants?This extraordinary historical romance, teeming with intrigue and cliff-edge tension, is the story of a love that was meant to be. And the book's timeless messages of family and loyalty are both raw and honest. As in Wiley's other novels, the author's complex characters come alive and are joined by a memorable ensemble of friends and family. As Wiley skillfully unravels this compelling tale, she includes rich historical elements to create The Beauty of Love's vivid colonial world. But in a slight variation of style for this popular author, Wiley blends the feel of a modern mystery thriller with the romance of a moving love story to create a highly engaging page-turner.Inspired by history, Wiley's books may all be read independently, including her highly-acclaimed debut novel WILDERNESS TRAIL OF LOVE, the first in her American Wilderness Series. The novels of this Readers' Favorite Gold Medal winning author are enjoyed worldwide by readers of historical romance, westerns, and classic American adventures.

At age 23, Schirra Simmons received full custody of his son, who was only six months old. A big believer in marriage's beauty, he didn't give up on finding love, despite having lost one relationship.

• Chapter 1: To cross the great unknown to harvest love is a challenge we all face. • Chapter 8: You cannot close your heart, ignore the hurting world around you, and be content with life. • Chapter 32: Love is real. The question is whether we are real enough to embrace love. • Chapter 21: We hide inside shells of denials and go under shades of lies to avoid the piercing rays of truth. • Chapter 6: To share love in the arena of life, you open the vault of your heart and disburse gems polished by God. • Chapter 11: Regret robs your life. It is a thief you allow to rummage your soul and steals the precious life you have been given. • Chapter 27: In the face of adversity, you are forced to define yourself. You are given a chance to show your essence. The depth of your heart exposed and the size of your faith revealed. • Chapter 2: Love binds feelings on the solid rock of faith and ties passion within the sacrificial cord of promise. • Chapter 34: Life grows cold when you do not put ideas in the furnace of adversity. When you tarry, dreams become wavering titillations of the soul, and aspirations turn into useless trinkets of the mind. • Chapter 16: When we fail to follow God, we drift in a sea of confusion, struggle in the field of opportunity, and wither in the garden of life.

The idea of "salvation" tends to be interpreted as an exclusively religious category. The author of this essay believes that philosophy, the quintessence of human thinking, possesses a salvific power, as it offers the possibility of broadening the horizons of humanity, leading us out of the oppressive limits of our "hic et nunc." However, philosophical salvation needs to be found in time and space. The edification of a society based upon the ideal of solidarity, in which history may be meaningful for everyone, is its preeminent manifestation.

The Poetics of Philosophy is my attempt to hear what academic philosophy attempts to silence, namely, how reason resonates with madness. It is thus a stinging of the great steed of academia in order to recover and re-experience what otherwise would be repressed by the exigencies of bureaucratic-commodity life in the late capitalist world. An analysis of Plato’s principal dialogues with a view towards developing the author’s conception of thinking, knowing, and loving, it incorporates the insights of Heidegger, Nietzsche, and Derrida. Provoking the world mind to reflect upon its phenomenological possibility for Being dispersed within its daily routines or business, the book argues for the metaphysicality of physical reality articulated through the narrative trope of fractal dialectical logic. The present volume’s more general implications extend the insights of the author’s previous work in the area of social science. I refer to the possibility for world communist revolution, which is predicated on communism’s thorough ridding itself of its naïve materialist perspective, the relics of a Newtonian Universe, and its embracing of a fractal-dialectical logic (or similar) that is better able to incorporate the yearning for immortality, desire to experience beauty, and the need to have a meaningful life that define human species life. To articulate such a framework is the aim of my general research.
