Описание: God's Presence in the Loss of Child began as simple daily accounts of the author and his wife's trials and emotions and activities during the 12 days in which their daughter was alive and in the hospital, after her birth. Following her unexpected death and through the coming months and years, they began to see and experience God's blessings and better understand some of HIS plan for their daughter's life and for them. This is a simple story of just how Bill and his wife, dealt with real life as it was quickly thrown at them early one morning in June of 1989. Hopefully, you too, will see just how good God was, and how gracious and merciful HE was to Bill and his wife during that traumatic time in their young lives, and the many years since then, as HE continues to bless them and encourage them as they seek HIS will for their lives. Their prayer is that you too, might experience the same encouragement and strength that they did during that time and even today.
Описание: This book is about how, when, and why our dead visit us. Allan Kellehear-a medical sociologist and expert on death, dying, and palliative care-has gathered data and conducted studies on deathbed visions across cultures.
Despite the improving human condition and our increasing prosperity as a species, a sense of collective existential dread is intensifying beneath the surface. While there is every reason to be optimistic about our future, people across the Western world are instead relentlessly pursuing a fatal combination of nihilism and hedonism; simply put, the belief that nothing really matters and immediate pleasure is the only thing worth pursuing.
In his groundbreaking first book, Luke Schiller attributes this very puzzling discrepancy to a cause that we are all too eager to avoid talking about - a crisis of meaning.
By initially taking us on a brief yet fascinating historical journey in humanity's quest for understanding, Schiller compellingly argues that this preeminent crisis of meaning has been brought about by five crucial trends. Understanding these trends and acknowledging the existence of this crisis, Schiller argues, are the first steps in being able to mend ourselves.
A formula for solving this crisis is precisely what Schiller then offers. The insights contained in this book, combined with its masterfully-crafted framework of meaning, provide us with a practical, transformative, and deeply fulfilling enterprise at a time when it is needed most.

Описание:
"What is the meaning of life?" Throughout history, people have spent much of their lives trying to explain how the world works and why. Initially, they seek to live better lives and thrive. Ultimately, they seek to find purpose and significance in their existence.
Experience the scientific and philosophical journey billions of years in the making to answer the question that all living beings capable of rational thought will ask themselves: why are we here? Over the course of that journey, you will come to understand how humans determine their meaning and, with some of your own analysis, discover your own purpose along the way.
