Why Do I Find Myself In These Situations

Why Do I Find Myself in These Situations? was chosen because of many unique situations during fifty-five years of flying military and civilian aircraft. All are specific that are unique to this pilot. Many are specific that have not been experienced by other pilots and hopefully will not be experienced on their flights. Heavenly guidance was certainly present in several of these experiences that guided responses, subtly prompted actions, and allowed a very experienced pilot to respond beyond normal human abilities. After each individual story, the title question could be asked, but you will enjoy that it was not you who had to deal with the same situations. Enjoy!

In Prophetic Politics, Philip J. Harold offers an original interpretation of the political dimension of Emmanuel Levinas’s thought. Harold argues that Levinas’s mature position in Otherwise Than Being breaks radically with the dialogical inclinations of his earlier Totality and Infinity and that transformation manifests itself most clearly in the peculiar nature of Levinas’s relationship to politics. Levinas’s philosophy is concerned not with the ethical per se, in either its applied or its transcendent forms, but with the source of ethics. Once this source is revealed to be an anarchic interruption of our efforts to think the ethical, Levinas’s political claims cannot be read as straightforward ideological positions or principles for political action. They are instead to be understood “prophetically,” a position that Harold finds comparable to the communitarian critique of liberalism offered by such writers as Alasdair MacIntyre and Charles Taylor. In developing this interpretation, which runs counter to formative influences from the phenomenological tradition, Harold traces Levinas’s debt to phenomenological descriptions of such experiences as empathy and playfulness. Prophetic Politics will highlight the relevance of the phenomenological tradition to contemporary ethical and political thought—a long-standing goal of the series—while also making a significant and original contribution to Levinas scholarship.

We've been sold a bill of goods. Not out of malice but out of a fundamental misunderstanding of how to effectively approach our lives-and the world-in order to secure the genuine happiness and authentic loving relationships we desire. In Reclaiming the Life We Lost Along the Way, we discover that at the heart of every decision we make is the intention to reduce our suffering and satisfy our unmet yearnings. Authentic love, safety, acceptance, connection, belonging, meaning, purpose, value, appreciation. These are the shared desires of every human being. To meet these desires, we have invested tremendous effort, yet the quality of life we have sought continues to elude us. The reason is shockingly simple: We have attempted to resolve an internal problem with external solutions. The outside world can never satisfy our deepest longings until our inner world makes a critical shift in perception and orientation. When this internal shift occurs, our experience of everything outside of us begins to change as well. This is the key to realizing and experiencing the quality of life we have been seeking for so long. Discover who you really are, recover your true self, bring your unique gifts to life, then share them with the world. This book shows you how to reclaim the life you were born to live by recovering the authentic love and deep fulfillment you came out of the Universe to encounter and extend in your own life and the lives of everyone you touch....

“And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God” (Philippians 1:9–11). This passage sums up the heart of Called to Purity: A Chosen Generation. With everything that tries to pull today’s youth away from Christ and into the things of this world, it is more important than ever to instruct them in the true meaning of purity so that they may begin down the road that leads to true righteousness. Called to Purity: A Chosen Generation presents teens with ideals concerning purity in many different areas of life and encourages them to discover their own convictions in each area, leading teens into a more excellent way of life so that they can bypass the pitfalls of this life and move straight towards a life of righteousness! Be holy, for I am holy. • Is holiness really achievable in today’s society? • Can teens really make it to adulthood without succumbing to peer pressure? • Are temptations and pitfalls really avoidable? • Can our youth “be preserved blameless”? The answer is yes! “With God all things are possible”—and that includes holiness and purity!
