Day by Day

Loving God More Dearly

By: Frederick Borsch

The popular song Day by Day from "Godspell" was actually written in the Middle Ages by Richard of Chichester, a saint remembered for his humility, his perseverance in times of hardship, his care for the poor, and the strength and generosity of his faith. After his death miracles of healing were said to have taken place through his intercession, and a shrine grew up at his cathedral in Chichester, a small city south of London. His had been a life of close friendships and high position, but also exclusion, exile and poverty. The intonations of a brave and searching man on his knees can be heard throughout this prayer. Borsch uses the life of Richard to illuminate and guide us as we seek day by day to see more clearly, love more dearly and follow God more nearly. These intellectually solid meditations draw on Scripture and church history to aid us in our devotional life.

Many Things in Parables

Extravagant Stories of New Community

By: Frederick Houk Borsch

This book contains twenty four expositions of thirty of the main Parables of Jesus, along with an essay on their interpretation. It gives evidence that, in seeking to proclaim the Word of God in the present day situation, modern preaching is binding itself closely to the text of the Bible.

The Son of Man in Myth and History

By: Frederick Houk Borsch

Borsch has not answered all the questions, of course. Who can? But his view of the Man tradition makes more sense to me than, for example, Perrin's rather cavalier dismissal of the evidence, and it not only enlightens but also enlivens the discussion. As against the extreme skeptics, Borsch is also convincing to me in arguing the case for a large measure of authenticity in the Son of man tradition in the Gospels. If the proof of the pudding is in the eating, the book constantly calls me back to its pages for insight regarding the problem, both in its historical dimension and in its bearing upon the meaning of Jesus of Nazareth for faith today. --'Theology' "The author is well aware of the difficulties involved in entering a field wherein so much investigation has been done. And of this, with the positive and negative conclusions, he gives an excellent survey, crisp and critical . . . . The lines opened up will engage the attention of a new and more positive chapter in the form-critical argument. --'London Quarterly and Holborn Review

Retirement Income for Life

Getting More without Saving More (Third Edition)

By: Frederick Vettese

Canada’s most trusted resource on retirement income, updated for tumultuous times As the global economy faces uncertainty in the face of high inflation — at levels seen only twice before in this century — and the specter of recession looms, individuals in retirement or near to it are understandably anxious about living well long-term. Canadians need the tools to make better-informed choices to turn their retirement savings into retirement income for life. This revised and updated edition: • Explains how higher interest rates and higher inflation present both new opportunities and challenges to retirees • Illustrates how the expansion of the CPP (which started in 2019) will affect upcoming retirees • Examines the impact of inflation on the deferral of CPP and OAS pensions • Explores whether level-income annuities are still relevant and asks whether there are better products on the market • Provides a revamped retirement calculator Actuary Frederick Vettese demystifies a complex and often frightening subject and provides practical, actionable advice. With over one thousand Canadians turning 65 every day, the cultivation of good decumulation practices — the way in which you draw down assets in retirement— has become an urgent matter that no one can afford to ignore.

Our First Atom Bomb

An All-American Story

By: Borsch Frederick Borsch,Frederick Borsch

What could it have been like to press the switch that dropped the world's first atomic bomb? What might have been going through the head of the All-American young man who had that responsibility on the Enola Gay? Complete with interviews with people like Colonel Paul Tibbets and those who knew Curtis LeMay and Tokyo Rose, this re-creation tells of the entire six hours that the mission took, from take-off at Tinian to that awesome moment over Hiroshima. From an interview with Dr. Theodore McCluskey S.J.: "I try to imagine being in his front seat position. Can you imagine putting anyone into that position? Making any human being responsible for that? Such power over death and life? No wonder he was mixed up. No wonder he wanted to think up a plan B, or, how did he put it?-to try to reshuffle the cards. I can understand why you and he would want to imagine things differently. Imagination is needed if we are going to see other possibilities in time of war.

The Essential Retirement Guide

A Contrarian's Perspective

By: Frederick Vettese

Retirement planning is difficult enough without having to contend with misinformation. Unfortunately, much of the advice that is dispensed is either unsubstantiated or betrays a strong vested interest. In The Essential Retirement Guide, Frederick Vettese analyses the most fundamental questions of retirement planning and offers some startling insights. The book finds, for example that: Saving 10 percent a year is not a bad rule of thumb if you could follow it, but there will be times when you cannot do so and it might not even be advisable to try. Most people never spend more than 50 percent of their gross income on themselves before retirement; hence their retirement income target is usually much less than 70 percent. Interest rates will almost certainly stay low for the next 20 years, which will affect how much you need to save. Even in this low-interest environment, you can withdraw 5 percent or more of your retirement savings each year in retirement without running out of money. Your spending in retirement will almost certainly decline at a certain age so you may not need to save quite as much as you think. As people reach the later stages of retirement, they become less capable of managing their finances, even though they grow more confident of their ability to do so! Plan for this before it is too late. Annuities have become very expensive, but they still make sense for a host of reasons. In addition, The Essential Retirement Guide shows how you can estimate your own lifespan and helps you to understand the financial implications of long-term care. Most importantly, it reveals how you can calculate your personal wealth target - the amount of money you will need by the time you retire to live comfortably. The author uses his actuarial expertise to substantiate his findings but does so in a jargon-free way.

Keeping Faith at Princeton

A Brief History of Religious Pluralism at Princeton and Other Universities

By: Frederick Houk Borsch

An inside look at how religious diversity came to Princeton In 1981, Frederick Houk Borsch returned to Princeton University, his alma mater, to serve as dean of the chapel at the Ivy League school. In Keeping Faith at Princeton, Borsch tells the story of Princeton's journey from its founding in 1746 as a college for Presbyterian ministers to the religiously diverse institution it is today. He sets this landmark narrative history against the backdrop of his own quest for spiritual illumination, first as a student at Princeton in the 1950s and later as campus minister amid the turmoil and uncertainty of 1980s America. Borsch traces how the trauma of the Depression and two world wars challenged the idea of progress through education and religion—the very idea on which Princeton was founded. Even as the numbers of students gaining access to higher education grew exponentially after World War II, student demographics at Princeton and other elite schools remained all male, predominantly white, and Protestant. Then came the 1960s. Campuses across America became battlegrounds for the antiwar movement, civil rights, and gender equality. By the dawn of the Reagan era, women and blacks were being admitted to Princeton. So were greater numbers of Jews, Catholics, and others. Borsch gives an electrifying insider's account of this era of upheaval and great promise. With warmth, clarity, and penetrating firsthand insights, Keeping Faith at Princeton demonstrates how Princeton and other major American universities learned to promote religious diversity among their students, teachers, and administrators.

Power in Weakness

New Hearing for Gospel Stories of Healing and Discipleship

By: Frederick Houk Borsch

Borsch helps us feel our way into the text.... We experience the healing of a dumb man from within the consciousness of the tormented victim. We climb inside the skin of Andrew and feel his smug contempt for pagans and Gentiles, and his impatience with the Syrophoenician woman. With the flick of the writer's pen, we are that desperate woman. Served up with substantial biblical and theological commentary and laced with engaging experiences from the author's life, these stories bridge the gap between past history and contemporary interests and invite us to further study and reflection." -- Jerry K. Robbins, West Virginia University "This is a 'comforting' book in the original meaning of the word. Like Elijah we are strengthened for the journey which we must of necessity make. We may not know exactly where we are going, but it is good to know that we have this kind of company along the way." -- John S. Ruef, Anglican Theological Review "When one first picks up this book one feels enriched by being in the presence of an exceptional storyteller.... Borsch has given us much more than a book of stories. He has significantly closed the gap between the preacher and the scholar." -- John Stone Jenkins, St Luke's Journal of Theology

The popular song, "Day by Day", from Godspell was actually written in the Middle Ages by Richard of Chichester, a saint remembered for his humility, his perseverance in times of hardship, his care for the poor, and the strength and generosity of his faith. After his death, miracles of healing were said to take place through his intercession, and a shrine grew up at his cathedral in Chichester, a small city south of London. Richard’s life was characterized by close friendships and high position, but also exclusion, exile, and poverty. The intonations of a brave and searching man on his knees can be heard throughout his prayer. Borsch uses the life of Richard to illuminate and guide us as we seek, day by day, to see more clearly, love more dearly, and follow God more nearly. These intellectually solid meditations draw on scripture and church history to aid us in our devotional life. The work originated as retreat addresses for clergy, seminarians, and lay people. Its overall theme of “life shaping prayer and prayer shaping life” is one that bridges all seasons, and makes particularly good reading for Advent and Lent.
