Book excerpt: Your small, everyday choices have eternal effect. Philosophers from Plato to Pixar all assume we have a soul. But what does that actually mean, and why does it matter? In this bold new work, pastor Arthur Jones weaves together Scripture, history, theology, and pop culture to reclaim the ancient concept of a soul. A soul is not afterlife vapor but something very real and very specific: the resurrection of the body. Jesus' message is that the kingdom of heaven is here now. Some think the state of our soul only comes down to one big spiritual decision in life. However, while we depend on the grace of God, our soul is shaped by life's little everyday decisions, not just a few big ones. These small decisions in our relationships, in our work, and for ourselves put us on a trajectory towards a more solid soul, or a more shriveled soul, one that is isolated from others and God. The choices that we make in every moment lead us toward heaven or away from it. In Solid Souls, learn to see your life and the lives of others with eternal eyes, and learn how to live life in such a way that you find yourself on a trajectory toward fulfillment and flourishing. Discover how to make your soul more solid today.

Download or read book Augustine and the Cure of Souls written by Paul R. Kolbet and published by University of Notre Dame Pess. This book was released on 2009-11-15 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Augustine and the Cure of Souls situates Augustine within the ancient philosophical tradition of using words to order emotions. Paul Kolbet uncovers a profound continuity in Augustine’s thought, from his earliest pre-baptismal writings to his final acts as bishop, revealing a man deeply indebted to the Roman past and yet distinctly Christian. Rather than supplanting his classical learning, Augustine’s Christianity reinvigorated precisely those elements of Roman wisdom that he believed were slipping into decadence. In particular, Kolbet addresses the manner in which Augustine not only used classical rhetorical theory to express his theological vision, but also infused it with theological content. This book offers a fresh reading of Augustine’s writings—particularly his numerous, though often neglected, sermons—and provides an accessible point of entry into the great North African bishop’s life and thought.

So overwhelming was their power that Earth's outposts and finally the Earth itself were utterly destroyed. But one starship managed to escape, carrying colonists toward some distant habitable planet, if such a place existed, and if the Cromanths didn't find them first. The mission was successful and the colony established. Mankind began to adapt to its new world, developed new abilities, and forgot much of its past on Earth. But then a Cromanth ship landed on the new planet--and the last remnants of humanity were in jeopardy once more. Could humankind somehow survive this savage new onslaught by the Cromanthian Empire? A first major SF novel by a modern master of the genre!

Download or read book Our Soul - A Transworldly Energy Complex written by Hermann de Witt and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2013-01-14 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Translated by Johanna Ellsworth, MA The basic question of human existence is: does the decomposition of my terrestrial body also mean the destruction of my conscious being? Drawing upon scientific and philosophic sources Herman de Witt seeks to prove that, since according to the laws of physics, energy is never destroyed but rather transformed, the energy of the soul similary experiences a constant process of transformation, or reincarnation. The Author presents the reader with a series of analogies comparing the human body and mind to everyday objects and practices, thus bringing this complex issue down to earth. Just as he recommends that we look within ourselves, pursuing self-knowledge and the search for our soul, so too does he strip his own philosophy down to its roots.
