Download or read book To Crispen Courage written by William L. Roth and published by The Morning Star of Our Lord, Inc.. This book was released on 2005 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In manifesting the Salvation of man, God oftentimes resorts to inexplicable actions to ratify His people's participation in their eternal redemption, even to the point of closing the breach between Heaven and Earth with signs and miracles to rival no other age. Now, the Most Blessed Virgin Mary has appeared in the heartland of the United States to two of Her children who have been traveling an extraordinary journey beneath Her mystical guidance since 1991. The pages of this enlightening work are the supernatural product of that intercessory relationship whose purpose and character are to rescind the faithlessness which is accelerating our western culture toward the dismal abyss of certain failure. There is no truth in the declaration that Christianity is dead! The King is alive! It is the secular world which is lost, and Heaven is proving once again that each generation will be found within the beatific embrace of the Holy Savior of the Cross. Secular debate has never facilitated deliverance, skepticism is a diseased irrelevance, intellectualism will die of its own accord, and relativism is gasping its last breaths of unprincipled error. The unseen realms of Creation are poised to strike the preeminent blow of God's Divinity against our American culture. A mystical eclipse has commenced! Sight will be given to the blind through an apocalyptic revelation to overshadow our skewed definition of history and give us a renewed vision of the submission God requires from humanity to the Redemptive Legacy of Jesus Christ and His Apostolic Church. The times could not be more urgent for the reevaluation of our existence. Every person who reads this book from cover-to-cover will be given the miraculous graces needed to look upon the world as they have never seen it before. For those shining moments, their eyes will fall upon the Truth known from the purview of Infinite Glory. Herein, the destination of deliverance is being revealed!

Download or read book 21st Century Courage written by Mark Felton and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2011-02-23 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book examines examples of outstanding courage exhibited by people living in modern Britain. These include British servicemen and servicewomen serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, police officers, and ordinary civilians in Britain and around the world. All of the cases cited have been awarded gallantry medals by the British government since 2000.The purpose of the book is to inspire modern British people. In the past, the heroes of Empire were well-known and respected, but since the Second World War people have tended to associate heroism with celebrity instead. We hear footballers and actors described as heroes, and this demeans the word, and the real heroes of modern British society. The generations that fought the First and Second World Wars have often been held up as the greatest generations of British people. This book shows Britons that the kind of grit, determination, courage and willingness to have a go exhibited by previous generations are as alive now as they ever were, and heroes can come from all walks of life and all ethnic groups in modern Britain.
Download or read book On Courage written by Geoffrey Scarre and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-07-26 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is courage and why is it one of the oldest and most universally admired virtues? How is it relevant in the world today, and what contemporary forms does it take? In this insightful and crisply written book, Geoffrey Scarre examines these questions and many more. He begins by defining courage, asking how it differs from fearlessness, recklessness and fortitude, and why people are often more willing to ascribe it to others than to avow it for themselves. He also asks whether courage can serve bad ends as well as good, and whether it can sometimes promote confrontation over compromise and dialogue. On Courage explores the ideas of Aristotle, Aquinas and many later philosophers who have written about courage, as well as drawing on classic and recent examples of courage in politics and fiction, including the German anti-Nazi "White Rose Movement", the modern phenomenon of "whistle-blowing", and Stephen Crane’s The Red Badge of Courage.
Download or read book Courage to Remember written by Kinue Tokudome and published by Paragon House Publishers. This book was released on 1999 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Holocaust was an attempt to erase those considered undesirable by the Nazi state from history, and thus remembering the Holocaust is essential if the Nazis are to remain defeated. This book introduces those people who are trying to make the world remember the Holocaust and the lesson it has taught. Tokudome focuses on each person -- their background, accomplishments, beliefs and hopes -- rather than on the events surrounding their activities. In writing this book, she hopes that readers will understand the significance of the Holocaust in human history by getting to know the people who are keeping the memory alive.

Download or read book The Mystery of Courage written by William Ian Miller and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few of us spend much time thinking about courage, but we know it when we see it--or do we? Is it best displayed by marching into danger, making the charge, or by resisting, enduring without complaint? Is it physical or moral, or both? Is it fearless, or does it involve subduing fear? Abner Small, a Civil War soldier, was puzzled by what he called the "mystery of bravery"; to him, courage and cowardice seemed strangely divorced from character and will. It is this mystery, just as puzzling in our day, that William Ian Miller unravels in this engrossing meditation. Miller culls sources as varied as soldiers' memoirs, heroic and romantic literature, and philosophical discussions to get to the heart of courage--and to expose its role in generating the central anxieties of masculinity and manhood. He probes the link between courage and fear, and explores the connection between bravery and seemingly related states: rashness, stubbornness, madness, cruelty, fury; pride and fear of disgrace; and the authority and experience that minimize fear. By turns witty and moving, inquisitive and critical, his inquiry takes us from ancient Greece to medieval Europe, to the American Civil War, to the Great War and Vietnam, with sidetrips to the schoolyard, the bedroom, and the restaurant. Whether consulting Aristotle or private soldiers, Miller elicits consistently compelling insights into a condition as endlessly interesting as it is elusive.
