Book Synopsis The Deepest Human Life by : Scott Samuelson

Download or read book The Deepest Human Life written by Scott Samuelson and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-04-03 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This accessible and thought-provoking introduction to philosophy shows how the eternal questions can shed light on our lives and struggles. These days, we generally leave philosophical matters to professional philosophers. Scott Samuelson thinks this is tragic, for our lives as well as for philosophy. In The Deepest Human Life, he restores philosophy to its proper place at the center of our humanity, rediscovering it as our most profound effort toward understanding, as a way of life that anyone can live. Exploring the works of some of history’s most important thinkers in the context of the everyday struggles of his students, Samuelson guides readers through the most vexing quandaries of existence—and shows just how enriching the examined life can be. Samuelson begins at the beginning: with Socrates, and the method he developed for approaching our greatest mysteries. From there he embarks on a journey through the history of philosophy, demonstrating how it is encoded in our own personal quests for meaning. Through heartbreaking stories, humanizing biographies, accessible theory, and evocative interludes like “On Wine and Bicycles” or “On Zombies and Superheroes,” Samuelson invests philosophy with the personal and vice versa. The result is a book that is at once a primer and a reassurance—that the most important questions endure, coming to life in each of us. Winner of the 2015 Hiett Prize in the Humanities

Book Synopsis Into the Deep by : Lauren Gaskill

Download or read book Into the Deep written by Lauren Gaskill and published by Abingdon Press. This book was released on 2018-11-06 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following Jesus doesn’t guarantee sunny skies and smooth sailing. In fact, the waters of life are often tumultuous, crashing over us. Sometimes we can feel that we’re drowning in a sea of confusion, division, frustration, complacency, or disillusionment. We need more than a shallow faith to survive these deep waters. Into the Deep is an invitation to dive headfirst into a life of courageous faith. With endearing warmth and authenticity, Lauren Gaskill shares how she and others have learned to swim with Jesus in the deep waters of life—facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, and chronic illness—only to discover a more authentic, enduring faith that cannot be shaken by circumstances. In addition to examining the character of God and the lives of women and men of the Bible who chose to dive deeper with God, she provides practical examples and tools that help us take our faith to the next level by learning to make decisions by faith alone, control our reactions to overwhelming situations, and live a life rooted in love. Get ready to exchange fear and frustration for the boldness, courage, and holy confidence that lead to a life of deep faith and joy!

Book Synopsis The Deep End Of Life by : Benjamin Kent Hewett

Download or read book The Deep End Of Life written by Benjamin Kent Hewett and published by Mahogany Bard Press. This book was released on 2021-02-20 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marley Jones is starting the 5th grade: a new school; a new sport; a new home. She wanted to do dance, but instead her parents got divorced, and she ended up in after-school swimming because some quack-job counselor told her dad it was a good way to blow off steam. And Marley hates swimming. Every practice is a gift of chlorine-scented hair, ear water, and creepy, can't-get-out-of-your-head shark facts that the popular girls keep telling her to make her squirm. The only good part about swim team is Omar, whose award-winning belly-flop could make a goat laugh. But even Omar's belly-flop won't be enough to keep Marley sane if she can't fix things with popular girls, escape counseling, and stop her best friend from moving to Alaska. "The Deep End of Life is as charming in its shallows as it is poignant in its depths. Marley's story and voice leap with charm, while the struggle with her parents' divorce and her experience with therapy give the story weight and soul. A refreshing book for young readers and parents alike." -ALLISON K. HYMAS, AUTHOR OF THE EXPLORER'S CODE
