This book on forgiveness, lovingly assembled and written by Michael Delia, is based on the work of Fr. Gerry O'Rourke, a Roman Catholic priest. Of course, all Catholic priests are schooled in the sacrament of forgiveness. Knowing something and believing it is not the same as being able to get your hands on it when you need it most.

"For as long as the British royal family has existed, their children have been brought up in ways that seem bizarre and eccentric to the rest of us—the royal family’s obsession with making their children tough and independent as early as possible, often by delegating their parental duties to staff, goes back centuries. Gilded Youth looks at centuries of growing up aristocratic and royal—from Edward VII smashing up his schoolroom...

14) Darwin on Trial
Author
Description
Darwin's theory of evolution is accepted by most educated Americans as simple fact. This easy acceptance, however, hides from us the many ways in which evolution-as an idea-shapes our thinking about a great many things. What if this idea is wrong?
Berkeley law professor Phillip E. Johnson looks at the evidence for Darwinistic evolution the way a lawyer would-with a cold dispassionate eye for logic and proof. His discovery is that scientists have...

"The problem is not to find the answer, it's to face the answer." – Terence McKenna At school, you are taught "science". You are not taught the history of science, so you have no idea how science came to be the institution it now is. You are never taught the secret history of science whereby scientific idealism (based on the mind) could have become the orthodoxy, rather than scientific materialism (based on the body). In this book, we will show...

Existence is mathematical music, and all of us are the instruments playing the cosmic symphony. Our task is simple – to arrive not at any old music, but the finest music that can possibly be played. The ideal music is reached when every player is in perfect harmony with every other player, and not a single discordant note is played. The orchestra is as one, and there are no disruptive soloists trying to play their own song. It takes the lifetime...

The New Way Is there a better way of doing physics that retains the best of current physics while going far beyond it? Physics is currently based on the claim – and claim it most certainly is – that physics deals with something real (let's call that real thing "matter", though there is no ontological definition of matter) and it can be somehow analyzed by an unreal, manmade abstraction, namely mathematics. But what happens if you accept a different...

Blaise Pascal wrote, "Men are so necessarily mad, that not to be mad would amount to another form of madness." Curing humanity of its madness is the biggest challenge there is. The only remedy is to subject everyone from the day they are born to an educational regime of reason, logic, clear and critical thinking, i.e. Logos thinking, and to teach them to see straight through emotional Mythos and understand it for exactly what it is: emotional lies...

Most of us see sports as a welcome-even blessed-relief from the challenges and frustrations of everyday life. We want to sit back, open a beer, and enjoy the game.
But many of those who bring us the game have a different agenda-they use their broadcasting platform to harangue us with their own politically correct preoccupations. If a seventh-round NFL draft pick who can't make the team or an over-the-hill basketball player declares that he's gay,...
