Book Description
Is truth a word we use only to affirm a statement, or is it also something more? In Finding and Confirming Truth, John S, Pletz explains that truth is more than mere affirmation. It also is the conclusion reached when we have effectively confirmed that an assertion accurately depicts the facts that it describes. Following a delineation of the major types of inferences used in confirming the truth of statements and the justifications for each of them, Pletz discusses the process used in identifying and verifying factual truth. That process includes the critical step of assessing the degree of certainty we have in a confirmed assertion, which the author contends must be ascertained before we should conclude that any statement is true. Finally, Pletz employs this confirmation framework and process in seeking the truth of the concept of truth itself. --Book Jacket.

Book Description
There are four needs that only God can meet in each of us. They are Acceptance, Identity, Security, and Purpose. Yet, we all strive to fulfill them on our own! In Accepting Truth, Finding Hope! Ricky D. Sluder invites you to join him in a deeply personal conversation where he shares lifelong struggles with answering these four questions for himself: Why are you striving for acceptance? Who are you? Why are you so insecure? What is your purpose for living? Ricky holds himself accountable along the way, admitting his mistakes and his intentional sins instead of providing excuses. In each chapter, he does a wonderful job of having a discussion with the reader instead of simply preaching to them. The use of rhetorical questions, hypotheticals, metaphors, and an overall reflection-based approach works phenomenally to engage the reader in conversation like no other book. Ricky's use of scripture to provide living examples from biblical history, followed by his raw analysis and real-world applications of the message, will aid readers in understanding God's true character and nature as it relates to these four needs. His transparency throughout the book is admirable, empowering readers to reflect on their own past, present, and future selves. Ricky serves as an inspiration for readers willing to take the step toward accepting Truth and finding Hope, just as he did. If this book has found its way to you, consider it a personal invitation to join Ricky in this riveting conversation. Ricky D. Sluder is a son and Outlaw Disciple of Jesus Christ. His identity is no longer defined by a badge on his chest, nor the scars on his heart from buying the countless lies of a painful past. Acceptance, Identity, Security, and Purpose are the four words God gave Ricky for ministry, and he plans to spend the rest of his life helping others accept Truth, that they might find Hope! He enjoys writing, public speaking, being a husband, a father, and a friend. A native Texan, he resides in Fort Worth, Texas with his wife and children.

Book Description
God has provided a way for all people, not just scholars, to know that the Bible is the Word of God. John Piper has devoted his life to showing us that the glory of God is object of the soul’s happiness. Now, his burden in this book is to demonstrate that this same glory is the ground of the mind’s certainty. God’s peculiar glory shines through his Word. The Spirit of God enlightens the eyes of our hearts. And in one self-authenticating sight, our minds are sure and our hearts are satisfied. Justified certainty and solid joy meet in the peculiar glory of God.

Book Description
The way a crime is defined is through criminal investigation. Criminal investigation is a multi-faceted effort that involves the study of facts presented by a criminal act or pattern of criminal conduct. These facts are then used to identify, locate and prove the guilt or innocence of a person or persons. Criminal investigation is usually carried out by a law enforcement agency using all of the resources available to discover, locate or establish evidence proving and verifying the relevant facts for presentation to a Court or other judicial authority. But how are these facts discovered? What resources do law enforcement use to uncover them? What is the process for a successful criminal investigation? In fact, how can we even define what is “criminal” in the first place? Daniel A. Reilly answers all these important questions, while providing the step by step process to gather facts, information, data, and evidence. Finding the Truth with Criminal Investigation is intended to answer all of the questions of who, what, where, when, why and how a violent crime occurred and/or was committed. It is intended for students in the field of criminal justice who wish to become criminal investigators – exposing them to the tools and processes needed to conduct a proper criminal investigation, but also real-life of working to support others as a team. Reilly spent a great deal of his professional life working on homicide cases, and he offers students his expertise in criminal investigation by successfully incorporating real-world context throughout this book.

Book Description
This book is the first of two volumes devoted to the work of Theo Kuipers, a leading Dutch philosopher of science. Philosophers and scientists from all over the world, thirty seven in all, comment on Kuipers' philosophy, and each of their commentaries is followed by a reply from Kuipers. The present volume focuses on Kuipers' views on confirmation, empirical progress, and truth approximation, as laid down in his From Instrumentalism to Constructive Realism (Kluwer, 2000). In this book, Kuipers offered a synthesis of Carnap's and Hempel's confirmation theory on the one hand, and Popper's theory of truth approximation on the other. The key element of this synthesis is a sophisticated methodology, which enables the evaluation of theories in terms of their problems and successes (even if the theories are already falsified), and which also fits well with the claim that one theory is closer to the truth than another. Ilkka Niiniluoto, Patrick Maher, John Welch, Gerhard Schurz, Igor Douven, Bert Hamminga, David Miller, Johan van Benthem, Sjoerd Zwart, Thomas Mormann, Jesús Zamora Bonilla, Isabella Burger & Johannes Heidema, Joke Meheus, Hans Mooij, and Diderik Batens comment on these ideas of Kuipers, and many present their own account. The present book also contains a synopsis of From Instrumentalism to Constructive Realism. It can be read independently of the second volume of Essays in Debate with Theo Kuipers, which is devoted to Kuipers' Structures in Science (2001).
