Paperback. Condizione: Good. A distillation of over seventy years as a monastic and more than three decades of writing on centering prayer, Reflections on the Unknowable is Fr. Thomas Keating's latest volume on how we might develop our intimacy with God and our experience of the Christian contemplative tradition. The first part of the book consists of a long interview with Fr. Thomas, in which he examines concepts of the divine-including the astonishments, playfulness, and transformation available to the individual willing to open the door to God. The second section consists of thirty-one brief homilies, which range over topics as diverse as the Trinity and the message of Epiphany, spiritual evolution and cultivating interior silence, and the treasure of spiritual poverty and the beauty of chaos.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Were Thomas Jefferson alive to read this book, he would recognize every sentence, every elegant turn of phrase, every lofty, beautifully expressed idea. Indeed, every word in the book is his. In an astonishing feat of editing, Eric S. Petersen has culled the entirety of Thomas Jefferson's published works to fashion thirty-four original essays on themes ranging from patriotism and liberty to hope, humility, and gratitude. The result is a lucid, inspiring distillation of the wisdom of one of America's greatest political thinkers. From his personal motto-"Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God"-to his resounding discourse on "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" in the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson defined the essential truth of the American spirit. In the essays that Petersen has crafted from letters, speeches, and public documents, Jefferson's unique moral philosophy and vision shine through. Among the hundreds of magnificent sentences gathered in this volume, here are Jefferson's pronouncements on Gratitude: "I have but one system of ethics for men and for nations- to be grateful, to be faithful to all engagements and under all circumstances, to be open and generous." Religion: "A concern purely between our God and our consciences." America's national character: "It is part of the American character to consider nothing as desperate; to surmount every difficulty with resolution and contrivance." Public debt: "We shall all consider ourselves unauthorized to saddle posterity with our debts, and morally bound to pay them ourselves." War: "I abhor war and view it as the greatest scourge of mankind." In stately measured cadences, these thirty-four essays provide timeless guidance on leading a spiritually fulfilling life. Light and Liberty is a triumphant work of supreme eloquence, as uplifting today as when Jefferson first set these immortal sentences on paper.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. This provocative work challenges traditional accounts of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark's expedition across the continent and back again. Uncovering deeper meanings in the explorers' journals and lives, Exploring Lewis and Clark exposes their self-perceptions and deceptions, and how they interacted with those who traveled with them, the people they discovered along the way, the animals they hunted, and the land they walked across. The book discovers new heroes and brings old ones into historical focus. Thomas P. Slaughter interrogates the explorers' dreams, how they wrote and what they aimed to possess, their interactions with animals, Indians, and each other, their sense of themselves as leaders and men, and why they feared that they had failed their nation and President. Slaughter's Lewis and Clark are more confused, frightened, courageous, and flawed than in previous accounts. They are more human, their expedition more dramatic, and thus their story is more revealing about our own relationships to history and myth.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Spectacular . . . Remarkable . . . Powerful . . . Compelling . . . Unique . . . Provocative. A BASEBALL BOOK UNLIKE ANY OTHER In Ghosts of October: Reflections on Life, Death and Baseball, Kevin Thomas Mulhearn, a leading New York attorney for survivors of childhood sexual abuse, showcases the remarkable healing and redemptive powers of baseball. Mulhearn's riveting family narrative focuses on the star-crossed life and untimely death of his beloved twin brother and the ensuing evolution of his relationship with his old school New York City police officer father. He also provides a rare and candid inside look at several of his uphill battles to obtain justice for dozens of childhood sex abuse survivors who were betrayed by esteemed schools (such as Poly Prep and Yeshiva University) that were charged with their education and protection. Underlying all of these themes is the omnipresent game of baseball, which provides Mulhearn with a much-needed anchor to hold onto through both triumphs and tragedies. In this unflinching memoir, Kevin Mulhearn challenges the reader to rethink his or her basic assumptions about life and death, love and loss, law and justice, and various aspects of the game of baseball. Praise for Ghosts of October An inspiring story of a family's tragedies, celebrations, compassion, and love for each other--through the reflective lens of baseball. Kevin Mulhearn's vivid descriptions of schoolyard fights and baseball games . . . call to mind the language and style of my late colleague, Red Smith. --Alex Yannis, New York Times Sportswriter Mulhearn's] story and his work is a testimony to the idea that that when we make the choice to fight for the truth and to fight for healing and justice for others, it can make a difference in ways that we often can't predict. His skill at blending his family narrative with his legal battles and overlaying it all with the metaphors and lessons of baseball is nothing short of spectacular. --Christopher M. Anderson, Executive Director, MaleSurvivor As an attorney for sexual abuse survivors, Kevin Mulhearn has been an indefatigable warrior for justice. As an author, Kevin demonstrates the same level of honesty and courage. Kevin has never been afraid to ask tough questions or take on big institutions, and that's what makes his life and work--as well as this unique memoir--compelling. --Michael O'Keeffe, New York Daily News The lessons Kevin Mulhearn learned on Brooklyn's sandlots playing for one of New York City's finest baseball clubs served him well in the years that followed. Somehow he managed to turn grief over his twin brother's death into a legal crusade that brought a measure of peace to victims of sexual abuse committed by a beloved coach at one of the city's top prep schools . Mulhearn has turned in a powerful memoir of love, family, grief, recovery, and the enduring powers of baseball. --Thomas Zambito, The Journal News A]n inspiring story from a bold and unflinching man whose creative and relentless advocacy for those who've been deeply betrayed will leave you outraged yet hopeful. --David G. Clohessy, Director, Survivors Network of Those Abused By Priests This is a remarkable book. --Paul Mones, Esq., Children's Rights Attorney In this book, Kevin Mulhearn speaks eloquently about the terrible plight of those he describes as 'lost boys' and about the need to get justice for the terrible crimes against them. --Hon. Margaret A. Markey, New York State Assemblywoman.…
