Book Description
Max Scheler (1874-1928) decisively influenced German philosophy in the period after the First World War, a time of upheaval and new beginnings. Without him, the problems of German philosophy today, and its attempts to solve them would be quite inconceivable. What was new in his philosophy was that he used phenomenology to investigate spiritual realities. The subject of On the Eternal in Man is the divine and its reality, the originality and non-derivation of religious experience. Scheler shows the characteristic quality of that which is religious. It is a particular essence that cannot be reduced to anything else. It is a sphere that belongs essentially to humankind; without it we would not be human. If genuine fulfillment is denied it, substitutes come into being. This religious sphere is the most essential, decisive one. It determines man's basic attitude towards reality and in a sense the color, extent and position of all the other human domains in life. It forms the basis for various views about life and thought. Scheler was emphatically an intuitive philosopher. In Scheler's work the break between being as the almighty but blind rage and value as the knowing but powerless spirit-has become complete, and makes of each human a split being. Personal experiences may be reflected here. The development of Scheler's work as a whole was highly dependent on his personal experiences. It is this that gives Scheler's work its liveliness and its validity.

Book Description
Herbert Peppard: The Eternal Man tells the true story of a 94-year-old World War Two veteran who was a member of the First Special Service Force, which is also known as the Devil's Brigade. Peppard grew up during the Great Depression in Truro, Nova Scotia. Unable to afford books for school, he dropped out at age 16 to work at the lumberyard. But with Hitler and the Nazis terrorizing Europe, he felt the call to join the army. Critical moments of battle are interwoven with letters, written by Peppard to his family and to Greta, the woman he vowed to return to and marry. Many letters were written from his hospital bed in Naples, where he spent six months recovering after being shot. The story follows Peppard after the war when he returned home to Nova Scotia. Today, Peppard is living in the very home where he was born. He writes columns in the local paper, walks a mile every day and continues to inspire others.

Book Description
Quest for Eternal Sunshine chronicles the triumphant, true story of Mendek Rubin, a brilliant inventor who overcame both the trauma of the Holocaust and decades of unrelenting depression to live a life of deep peace and boundless joy. Born into a Hassidic Jewish family in Poland in 1924, Mendek grew up surrounded by extreme anti-Semitism. Armed with an ingenious mind, he survived three horrific years in Nazi slave-labor concentration camps while virtually his entire family was murdered in Auschwitz. After arriving in America in 1946—despite having no money or professional skills—his inventions helped revolutionize both the jewelry and packaged-salad industries. Remarkably, Mendek also applied his ingenuity to his own psyche, developing innovative ways to heal his heart and end his emotional suffering. After Mendek died in 2012, his daughter, Myra Goodman, found an unfinished manuscript in which he’d revealed the intimate details of his healing journey. Quest for Eternal Sunshine—the extraordinary result of a posthumous father-daughter collaboration—tells Mendek’s whole story and is filled with eye-opening revelations, effective self-healing techniques, and profound wisdom that have the power to transform the way we live our lives. An inspirational biography of a Holocaust survivor overcoming depression and PTSD. An essential new addition to Jewish Holocaust history.

Book Description
Has religion, the church, or Christianity become convoluted? confusing? disappointing? We live in a time where church attendance is declining, where faith has become so deeply intertwined with politics, ideologies, theologies and personal opinions that it's seemingly impossible to find Truth. In all of this, we have lost sight of the center of it all-that is, the utterly enchanting person of Jesus Christ. In G.K. Chesterton's Everlasting Man, the reader will be brought back to the very foundation of the Christian faith: that is, Jesus-His life, death and resurrection. G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936) was arguably the greatest writer and thinker of the 20th century-his keen intellect, wit, spirit and wisdom would go on to influence writers like J. R. R. Tolkien, Ernest Hemingway, C. S. Lewis, T.S. Eliot and many more. Chesterton's ability to broach controversial and diverse topics with a sense of humor and the use of paradox has made him one of the most influential voices in both Christian and secular spheres. In Everlasting Man, Chesterton brilliantly examines the history of man from a Christ-centered perspective, appealing to the mind and heart as he points to the power, truth and supremacy of Jesus by exploring: The uniqueness of Jesus' claims Jesus' ability to unite religion and philosophy Jesus' radical and shocking teaching Jesus' affirmation of human goodness The hope of Jesus' resurrection for all mankind Chesterton writes, "There are two ways of getting home; and one of them is to stay there. The other is to walk 'round the whole world till we come back to the same place." Everlasting Man will lead us home-to the person of Jesus, to the foundation of faith, and perhaps even to the doors of the Church.

My father never apologised for anything, even when he was wrong. But in the hours before he died, when I was alone with him in his hospital room, he begged for forgiveness.

A Summer/Fall 2018 Indies Introduce Debut Fiction Selection When Samuel Johnson dies, he finds himself in the body of the man who killed him, unable to depart this world but determined, at least, to return to the son he left behind.

He worked as a musician for most of his twenties, in nonprofit literary publishing for most of his thirties, and has spent the first half of his forties teaching in the English department at Washington University in St. Louis.
