Download or read book The Fragility of Goodness written by Martha C. Nussbaum and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2001-01-15 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of ancient views about 'moral luck'. It examines the fundamental ethical problem that many of the valued constituents of a well-lived life are vulnerable to factors outside a person's control, and asks how this affects our appraisal of persons and their lives. The Greeks made a profound contribution to these questions, yet neither the problems nor the Greek views of them have received the attention they deserve. This book thus recovers a central dimension of Greek thought and addresses major issues in contemporary ethical theory. One of its most original aspects is its interrelated treatment of both literary and philosophical texts. The Fragility of Goodness has proven to be important reading for philosophers and classicists, and its non-technical style makes it accessible to any educated person interested in the difficult problems it tackles. This edition, first published in 2001, features a preface by Martha Nussbaum.

Book excerpt: An invitation for overachievers to discover what it means to rest as God's daughters without compromising their God-given design as doers. Are you a Martha who feels guilty for not being a Mary? Do you want to sit at Jesus’s feet as Mary did—but you feel the need to get things done? In Made Like Martha, Katie M. Reid invites you to exchange try-hard striving for hope-filled freedom without abandoning your doer’s heart in the process. Through her own story and rich biblical illustrations, Katie reminds you that it’s not important whether you sit and listen or stand and work. What matters is that your spiritual posture is one of a beloved daughter who knows she doesn’t need to earn God’s love. Your desire to get things done is not something to temper but something to embrace as you serve from a place of strength and peace—knowing Christ already did His most important work for you on the cross. With “It Is Finished” activities at the end of each chapter and a fiveweek Bible study included, Made Like Martha helps you find rest from striving even as you celebrate your God-given design to “do.” “Made Like Martha will infuse your life with a fresh perspective as you learn both to embrace your God-given personality and also discover how—and when—to rest and retreat.” —Karen Ehman, Proverbs 31 Ministries speaker and New York Times bestselling author of Keep It Shut

Download or read book Martha s Journals Book One written by Thomas Isaac Franklin and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2009-03-02 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martha Baker was a very average Midwestern girl. She wrote in her journal nearly every day of her life beginning at the age of nine. Her life changed directions many times but she always stayed true to her journal. Some people find it hard to deny their nature. Martha found it impossible. Her inner conflicts and tortured decisions affected her life far more than events happening in the world around her. Author Thomas Isaac Franklin served as both editor of Martha's journals and writer of this chronicle of her early life. All of the most fantastic events and deeply felt emotions in the book came directly from her journals. Her entries were often graphic, uncensored, and raw. They are intended for mature readers. Franklin had to supplement the sometimes-sparse journal entries with research. He interviewed Martha's relatives, friends, and noteworthy characters that appear in her journals. He found it necessary to expand the least descriptive portions of the journals to add imagery, form, and continuity to his writing. As you open Martha's Journals: Book One, you will be privy to her deepest held thoughts and desires. She will tell you secrets she would never verbalize to even her closest friends. This narrative follows Martha's life from birth to womanhood. You will accompany her as she explores her mind, body, and desires like few woman could or would.

Book excerpt: Politics is a dirty business and it gets even dirtier when billionaire Ronald Tripp covets the Republican Presidential nomination. The Ronalds first dirty deed is to take advantage of the wandering eye of the frontrunner, Senator Bill Flowers. Bills mistress is actually a porn star named Lola Fontaine and she was hired by The Ronald to blackmail Bill. When Bill drops out, Bills father, former Senator George Flowers Sr., has a revelation. Hell just insert his other son George Flowers, Jr. into the race. Don Chambers, a Reagan era Republican political genius, and Martha Wilson, one of George Sr.s executives, join George Sr. as part of the candidates team. The team has one significant challenge. Their candidate is one of Gods special creations. Natural Born Leader follows the adventures of George Jr. as he conducts himself in the same way any first grader might. Kids say the darnedest things, and George Jr. rarely reacts the way that a Presidential candidate should. With Marthas damage control and the natural inclination of voters to believe in their candidate, George Jr. reacts just right. The Ronald is busy winning over conservatives with a show of guns, old time religion, a proposed moat to keep illegal immigrants out of the US and any other idea that can bring America back to the social norms of the 1950s. He also tries to bag George Jr. the same way he bagged his older brother. George Jr. has several close encounters with Lola. Natural Born Leader takes Americas rich, scandalous and embarrassing Presidential political history to the next level. Most Americans have long since realized that the best and the brightest rarely enter politics. This book proves that they should, because in America any citizen can one day be our President.

Alafair Tucker is desperate to find out. One August evening in 1914, a bushwhacker ended a pleasant outing by blowing a hole in Bill McBride, kidnapping and ravaging Bill's fiancée, and wounding Alafair's daughter Mary. Does Mary know who did the low-down deed? If she does, the bullet that grazed her knocked that information right out of her head. All she remembers is that it has something to do with the Fourth of July. Several malicious acts testify to the fact that Bill's killer is still around and attempting to cover his tracks. The question is, can Mary remember before the murderer manages to eliminate everyone who could identify him? The law is hot on the bushwhacker's trail. There is little Alafair can do to help the sheriff, but that will never stop her from trying. If there's a chance she can protect Mary from further harm or help her remember, she'll do anything she can. Even confront a vicious killer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Being Martha is a personal-at times a searingly personal-account of Martha's life from the inside, by a friend. It's fascinating-very anecdotal and very emotional. It won't be like anything else you've ever read about her." -John Small, editor of SaveMartha.com From Being Martha "Martha has taught people to do many things and not in the way an ordinary teacher would, but in her own particular way. She taught people about the good things in life-the simple things." -Martha Kostyra, Martha's mother "My mother and I have always been close. We are not closer since the trial and prison-we've always been close. . . . Don't we all want a better life? No matter what they say about my mom, all she ever does is teach the world good things that will help them in life. So what if she shows you the perfect way to do it? Would you want your professor at school to do anything less in any other subject? Her fans know what she's all about." -Alexis Stewart, Martha's daughter "It was all about going and finding a piece of land and living off of it, learning how to get back to nature. Listening to banjos, listening to folk music, discovering Leadbelly and the Mamas and the Papas. We used to have the greatest evenings with a bunch of hospitable people. Martha would make pies and other things for the occasions." -George Christiansen, Martha's brother, about the early years "Martha raised the bar for me and made me think big. . . . We have an alley cat, Ricky, that lives next door at the deli, and he roams in and out of the neighborhood. Ricky has no tail, he's dirty, and he acts like a dog. One morning during the trial, Martha was in the salon wearing a three-thousand-dollar Jil Sander suit. She was sitting on one of the chairs in the back. Ricky came in and jumped on top of her and was all over her, licking her neck and putting paw marks all over her. Martha said, 'Oh my God, this cat is so dirty, this is such a dirty little cat!' But she let him crawl all over her. She just dusted the hair and dirt off. She really has a lot of kindness in her." -Eva Scrivo, Martha's friend and hairdresser
