Book Description
Humanity has thrown everything we have at implacable luck-novel theologies, entire philosophical movements, fresh branches of mathematics-and yet we seem to have gained only the smallest edge on the power of fortune. The Myth of Luck tells us why we have been fighting an unconquerable foe. Taking us on a guided tour of one of our oldest concepts, we begin in ancient Greece and Rome, considering how Plato, Plutarch, and the Stoics understood luck, before entering the theoretical world of probability and exploring how luck relates to theology, sports, ethics, gambling, knowledge, and present-day psychology. As we travel across traditions, times and cultures, we come to realize that it's not that as soon as we solve one philosophical problem with luck that two more appear, like heads on a hydra, but rather that the monster is altogether mythological. We cannot master luck because there is nothing to defeat: luck is no more than a persistent and troubling illusion. By introducing us to compelling arguments and convincing reasons that explain why there is no such thing as luck, we finally see why in a very real sense we make our own luck, that luck is our own doing. The Myth of Luck helps us to regain our own agency in the world - telling the entertaining story of the philosophy and history of luck along the way.

Book Description
A rich fool. A wayward son. A good but despised hero. A dubious but impressive manager. A persistent widow who would not be denied. What do all these characters have in common? Jesus! Jesus wove His narratives around these wildly different characters to teach us about the kingdom of God. In a world filled with so many voices struggling for attention and supremacy, the voice of Jesus echoes through the ages in the timeless parables He shared with us some 2000 years ago. Jesus Christ skillfully used storytelling as a powerful vehicle for delivering eternal and timeless truths about life, eternity, faith, religion, forgiveness, pride, greed, and many pertinent subjects. The question is: Why and how are these parables relevant to us today? This series answers the question. It promises to be an exciting and life-transforming read. Come along! This volume digs deep to reveal the hidden gems in the following powerful parables told by Jesus Christ: the Workers in the Vineyard, the Wineskins and the Garments, the Talents or Minas, the Wicked Tenants, the Ten Virgins, the Unfruitful Fig Tree, the Two Sons, the Tax Collector and the Pharisee, the Persistent Widow, and the Importunate Friend. The parables centre on the subjects of stewardship, humility, and prayer.
