Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vainglory-- a keen desire for attention and approval. Although contemporary culture has largely forgotten about vainglory, it was on the original list of seven capital vices and is perhaps more dangerous than ever today. DeYoung tells the story of this vice, moving from its ancient origins to its modern expressions. She defines vainglory, gives examples from popular culture, and discusses other vices associated with it such as hypocrisy and boasting. She then explores personal spiritual practices that can help us resist it and community practices that can help us handle glory well.

Book excerpt: THE obligation, which was promised to the blessed Pope Castor in the preface to those volumes which with God's help I composed in twelve books on the Institutes of the Coenobia, and the remedies for the eight principal faults, has now been, as far as my feeble ability permitted, satisfied. I should certainly like to see what was the opinion fairly arrived at on this work both by his judgment and yours, whether, on a matter so profound and so lofty, and one which has never yet been made the subject of a treatise, we have produced anything worthy of your notice, and of the eager desire of all the holy brethren. But now as the aforesaid Bishop has left us and departed to Christ, meanwhile these ten Conferences of the grandest of the Fathers, viz., the Anchorites who dwelt in the desert of Scete, which he, fired with an incomparable desire for saintliness, had bidden me write for him in the same style (not considering in the greatness of his affection, what a burden he placed on shoulders too weak to bear it)--these Conferences I have thought good to dedicate to you in particular, O blessed Pope, Leontius, and holy brother Helladius.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Summa Theologica is the best-known work of Italian philosopher, scholar, and Dominican friar SAINT THOMAS AQUINAS (1225 1274), widely considered the Catholic Church s greatest theologian. Famously consulted (immediately after the Bible) on religious questions at the Council of Trent, Aquinas s masterpiece has been considered a summary of official Church philosophy ever since. Aquinas considers approximately 10,000 questions on Church doctrine covering the roles and nature of God, man, and Jesus, then lays out objections to Church teachings and systematically confronts each, using Biblical verses, theologians, and philosophers to bolster his arguments. In Volume III, Aquinas addresses: faith and heresy charity peace and war mercy, anger, and justice prayer truth and much more. This massive work of scholarship, spanning five volumes, addresses just about every possible query or argument that any believer or atheist could have, and remains essential, more than seven hundred years after it was written, for clergy, religious historians, and serious students of Catholic thought."

This book was released on 2024-05-01 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Francis Bacon (1561–1626) was an English philosopher, statesman, scientist, and essayist, widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the history of Western thought. Born in London to a prominent family, Bacon received an excellent education and showed remarkable intellectual promise from a young age. Bacon's literary legacy is perhaps best represented by his essays, a collection of short, thought-provoking reflections on a wide range of subjects, including truth, friendship, marriage, and ambition. Written in clear, concise prose, Bacon's essays offer timeless insights into the human condition and continue to be studied and admired for their wisdom and wit. The transformative wisdom of Francis Bacon concised as "Life Changing Lessons from Francis Bacon's Essays," where each essay is distilled into ten concise, powerful insights. Through clear and accessible language, readers are guided on a journey of self-discovery, enlightenment, and personal growth. From reflections on truth and virtue to contemplations on adversity and ambition, Bacon's timeless wisdom offers practical guidance for navigating life's complexities with integrity and purpose. Authored by Udaya Kumar Alajangi, this book serves as a beacon of light, illuminating paths to fulfillment and inspiring readers to embody the timeless virtues espoused by Bacon.

Book excerpt: Vainglory begins in France in 1429, the year of the Siege of Orléans, as Victoire de Gloriole regains possession of the family castle from the English following the Battle of Agincourt. Having consolidated his position by marrying a beautiful Englishwoman, Victoire sets out to rebuild a dynasty and a castle. However some years on, he finds himself without a legitimate heir, and at war with a family of scheming cousins. From Joan of Arc and the 15th century wars with the English through to Catherine de Medici and the slaughter of the Huguenots, Vainglory tells the story of a power-hungry family who will let nothing and no one get in their way. Cleverly plotted and beautifully written, it is a historical novel of rare class.
