"Flying to beautiful Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to do research for a travel article seemed like an ideal way for reporter Megan O'Neal to forget the stunning news she had just received. The man who had caused the loss of her family's fortune, and subsequently the decline of her father's health, had been released from prison... Assigned to be her guide and photographer in Wyoming is Tom Howard, a Californian who came for a visit to Jackson Hole and stayed. Megan and Tom hit it off at first sight, and enjoy a wonderful two weeks rafting, hiking, and visiting museums. It seems like the start of a storybook romance. But as charming and friendly as Tom is, there is something in his past that will shatter their happiness, and jeopardize their future together."--

The various kinds and conditions of love are a common theme for Kierkegaard, beginning with his early Either/Or, through "The Diary of the Seducer" and Judge William's eulogy on married love, to his last work, on the changelessness of God's love. Works of Love, the midpoint in the series, is also the monumental high point, because of its penetrating, illuminating analysis of the forms and sources of love. Love as feeling and mood is distinguished from works of love, love of the lovable from love of the unlovely, preferential love from love as the royal law, love as mutual egotism from triangular love, and erotic love from self-giving love. This work is marked by Kierkegaard's Socratic awareness of the reader, both as the center of awakened understanding and as the initiator of action. Written to be read aloud, the book conveys a keenness of thought and an insightful, poetic imagination that make such an attentive approach richly rewarding. Works of Love not only serves as an excellent place to begin exploring the writings of Kierkegaard, but also rewards many rereadings.

The book is concerned with questions about love: questions about its many forms, strands and aspects, and the relation in which they stand to each other. It is concerned with the way different aspects of sexual love conflict with each other, with the way self-regard and self-interest can corrupt love, and with spiritual love and its difficulties. It seeks the views of some writers who have suggested some distinctive solutions to the existential problems that love poses in the face of its obstacles: Plato, Proust, Sartre, Freud, D.H. Lawrence, Erich Fromm, C.S. Lewis, Kierkegaard, Simone Weil and Kahlil Gibran.

"What is persuasion? For some, it should be thought of primarily as an alternative to violence. For others, persuasion is less an ethical practice and more a neutral instrumentality-a valued source of soft power. Whichever position seems more appealing, they both rest on a fundamental belief: persuasion is a power residing in an individual speaker who acts on an audience. But what if we question this basic understanding of persuasion? What if we shift the focus and ask a different-and in some ways more fundamental-question: why does an audience stand in need of persuasion? This is the question that animates Loving the World Appropriately. In turning the question around, James Kastely delivers an original and provocative contribution to the history of rhetoric and philosophy, one that moves persuasion away from being a matter of effective communication and recasts it as an important philosophical concern tied up with fundamental notions of human subjectivity. Ultimately, Kastely insists, the purpose of persuasion is to enable us to love the world appropriately"--

The purpose of this treatise is three fold. First, to sound a warning to the followers of Jesus Christ. Secondly, to encourage those who are still searching for the Truth and finally, to prayerfully, help to open the spiritual eyes of those who have been ensnared and deceived by the enemy. Jesus Christ himself warned his disciples of the great danger of being deceived. Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ: and shall deceive many. (Matthew 24:4,5) and again, in verse eleven Jesus warned of false prophets saying, And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

Flourishing Love is a secular defence of marriage and long-term intimate partnership. It rejects a moral-religious code to govern love lives and instead puts its faith in the human potential for couples to be benevolent, loyal, and forgiving to preserve and enhance their romantic union. Dr Gnaulati draws on a variety of sources to present the joint emotional upkeep necessary to make an intimate relationship not just satisfactory, but vital, and to illustrate what these lasting bonds look like. The latest science, anecdotes from his own 30-year marriage as well as from his psychotherapy practice, the musings of ancient and contemporary philosophers, and real-life interviews from partners in long-term happy marriages and intimate unions are all used to reveal the secrets to a successful romantic partnership. The result is a how-to of engaging in attentive and sensitive communication; employing a fairness habit of mind around household chores, childrearing responsibilities, and finances; optimally moving through and beyond conflict; keeping an erotic spark alive; and ethically handling urges to stray outside the couple. A must-read for all those who crave meaning, happiness, and fulfilment in life and need their romantic partnerships to help, not hinder, in this endeavour.

The Possibility of Love is an exploration of a concept close to the human heart. Grounded in the ordinary, everyday experiences of human living, the book provides an exploration of the diverse obstacles to the experience of love, the consequences of loveâ (TM)s absence, and the unquenchable desire for love which propels, influences and ultimately motivates much of human behaviour. The Possibility of Love poses the question: is love actually possible between human beings, or is it an ideal, a fantasy, an illusion, or a comforting aspiration which enables a palliative denial and distortion of the reality of human being? This expansive question is approached through an interdisciplinary analysis. The author addresses the question of loveâ (TM)s possibility as it is explored in a selection of literature from the disciplines of philosophy, psychoanalysis and poetry. The interdisciplinary nature of the study is based on the assertion of an interconnection between the three disciplines, and that this interconnection enables a unique and insightful exploration of the question of loveâ (TM)s possibility. Thus, the question is explored from diverse view-points, and also from different time-frames; convergences and divergences are noted and discussed, and conclusions are drawn from the ensuing findings. The book is essentially a philosophical analysis of an emotion that significantly impacts on human experience. It attests to the gradually increasing acknowledgement of the power of emotional experience in the search for knowledge, wisdom and truth. Thus, it is a uniquely honest exploration of human nature in contemporary times.

"As she constructively engages feminist critiques of Christianity's complicity in violence, Deidre Nicole Green challenges traditional beliefs that self-sacrifice amounts to love and that suffering is inherently redemptive by arguing for a Kierkegaardian conceptions of Christian love that limits self-sacrifice." -- Back cover.

Pam flees to London, where she takes refuge in a lonely, sparsely furnished room. With a twist of her wrist, she turns on the gas and resigns herself to death, only to be rescued by a neighbor.

Bound by despair, these two unlikely lovers begin a new life, and together they will find a reason to live This lonely middle-aged couple finds victory in living, searching for love and happiness, and overcoming their pasts.
