A practical, down-to-earth guide on the Rule of St. Benedict and its use in daily life. In the sixth century when the Roman Empire was breaking apart and politics, cultural life and even the Church were in disarray―tumultuous times not unlike our own―Benedict of Nursia designed what he termed “a little rule” that showed his monks the way to peace as they learned to prefer Christ above all things. Jane Tomaine translates St. Benedict’s ancient rule for a modern audience and offers readers a primer on how to use these tools in their own tumultuous lives. Each chapter examines one aspect of the Rule, from ways of praying to ways of being in relationships and community, and offers tools for reflection, prayer, journaling, and action. This updated edition includes historical background to the Rule, a new chapter on relationships and community, and a guide for group use. “[A] wonderful book, one of the best introductions we have in print today to the spirit of St. Benedict. It speaks clearly to Episcopalians of our day about the great spiritual treasure of the Benedictine tradition.”―The Rt. Rev. R. William Franklin, Assisting Bishop of Long Island.

This work is for the benefit of the modern skeptic that is open to possibly re-thinking their position and for Christians who have friends and family looking for a rational way out of their unbelief. The book starts with the indisputable: someday you are going to die. The question is, what's next? Since one's eternal state is forever, the thoughtful person should seek to obtain the best possible outcome. At one time religious traditions informed us about our fate, but the secular person has been cut off from traditional answers. One is left with the nihilism of scientific materialism or an irrational leap into mysticism. But perhaps today's most common alternative is to distract oneself with things of the world-entertainment, achievement, etc. At the beginning of the Enlightenment, the French mathematician Blaise Pascal noticed similar tendencies in affluent Paris. He was outraged that his friends would be so reckless with their souls. Framing his plea against the backdrop of Pascal's famous Wager, author Paul Ernst takes the reader through the cumulative case that a group of men and woman 2000 years ago were not merely pre-scientific and gullible, but were shaped by an event that would cause them to reject their own beliefs and give up everything for what they knew to be true. The early chapters are about establishing a method for evaluating truth claims and evidence. As most people do not have a clearly thought out worldview, Ernst lays out a simple but unexpectedly robust map for thinking about philosophical systems. The worldviews of Naturalism, Theism and Eastern Pantheism are set out so that the reader might be able to better identify their own faith commitments. At the same time Ernst exposes the myth of "neutrality" concerning ultimate ideas. The next part of the book lays out the case for a Being like the Judeo-Christian God from the evidence of the natural world. The Kalam Cosmological Argument as set forth by Dr. William Lane Craig and the design inference of Dr. William Dembsky are made accessible to the general reader. Ernst then sets up the plausibility of the claims of the earliest Christians with a defense of miracles based on C. S. Lewis's refutation of skeptic David Hume and the pretensions and limitations of modern science. The specific claims of the New Testament are examined using sound historical methodology based on what most 1st century historians, and not theologians, actually believe. Jesus' claims of deity are examined against a 1st century Jewish backdrop-the only one with the proper context. The resurrection of Jesus far exceeds any naturalistic explanation for basic facts believed by the majority of scholars. After the positive evidence, Ernst deals with classic objections to Theistic belief-such as the problem of evil, the hiddenness of God and alleged falsehoods in the Bible. There is solid defense of the Bible as God's revelation that makes its case based on the Bible's own internal evidence without resorting to circular reasoning. The author details his own hard-fought intellectual journey against doubt and his own anti-supernatural presuppositions. This is contrasted with the path taken by the famous atheist Antony Flew who likewise found the evidence compelling but never came to faith. The author believes Flew lacked the desire for eternal life. Ernst candidly admits that a fear of judgment and the dread of nonexistence were central for him, as they should be for all. In the final chapters, the love of God is demonstrated through his gracious offer to all his creatures and examples are given as to what it means to trust God. The book finishes with what Jesus' followers say is the way to secure eternal life.

In The Emotional Toolbox, Dr. Bochner provides a fresh and accessible perspective on the most common issues of psychotherapy and mental health. This book is a Manual for Mental Health and is organized as an owners manual for the relational world, which Dr. Bochner calls the great life machine. Unlike other manuals that focus on all brand-new systems functioning perfectly, however, The Emotional Toolbox recognizes the various types of likely breakdown that occur over time and focuses intently on helping you bring yourself to full potential. In essence, The Emotional Toolbox is the Introduction to Psychology people truly want and need, even though it does not include the typical Psych 101 articles on rats in mazes, pellet-pecking pigeons, cat-zapping contraptions, or old tired theories no longer useful in modern day psychotherapy. Instead, in this Manual the reader finds and feasts on expert knowledge regarding the intricacies of human interaction, the vagaries of couple and family life, and the ins and outs of mental health diagnosis. Dr. Bochners Emotional Toolbox addresses the most commonly encountered issues of life, explains emotional difficulties and interpersonal communication at a level where the reader can feel personally understood, and offers solutions and redemption where people struggle most.
