Bone Digger

By: Jim d. Jordan

Johnny Zen and his girlfriend Jessica Sellars are back with another adventure when they are asked by a close friend to look into the cold case murder of a college student, Hannah McGuire. Who would want Hannah dead? From the viciousness of the crime it was obvious this was no random act of violence. Someone wanted to make sure Hannah was dead. The main suspect at the time was Hannah's own professor and thesis advisor. But almost as quickly as he the number one suspect, the police suddenly dropped their investigation of him and no one else ever seemed to come onto their radar. Now fourteen years later, Johnny and Jessica start digging into the bones of the stone cold case. There are those who will stop at nothing to prevent them from revealing secrets that will change everything we've been led to believe about 9/11. In the quiet recesses of Johnny's mind, he must ask himself, - What if it's true?

Bernard Lonergan's Philosophy of Religion

From Philosophy of God to Philosophy of Religious Studies

By: Jim Kanaris

Jim Kanaris provides a comprehensive understanding of esteemed theologian Bernard Lonergan's philosophy of religion and a crucial means of identifying precisely the points of contact between Lonergan's thoughts on God and religion and the issues presently discussed by philosophers of religion. Defining Lonergan's philosophy of religion presents a challenge because he does not use the term as it is generally understood. Rather, Lonergan addresses these issues under the guise of philosophy of God or natural theology, understands the role of religious experience idiosyncratically, and allows this concept to play various roles in his thought. The dynamics of these various components, their interrelationships, and their function from early to late development are fleshed out in this work. Kanaris finds Lonergan's philosophy of religion developing at that period when he attributes a new importance to the influence of religious experience. What this means for Lonergan's controversial proof of God's existence, the role of Lonergan's concept of consciousness, and the specifically religious dimension of the notion of experience are explored, along with the emergence of what is technically philosophy of religion.

Sharing with the Gods

Sharing with the Gods

Aparchai and Dekatai in Ancient Greece

By: Suk Fong Jim

Sharing with the Gods examines one of the most ubiquitous yet little studied aspects of ancient Greek religion, the offering of so-called "first-fruits" (aparchai) and "tithes" (dekatai), from the Archaic period to the Hellenistic. While most existing studies of Greek religion tend to focus on ritual performance, this volume investigates questions of religious belief and mentality: why the Greeks presented these gifts to the gods, and what their behaviour tells us about their religious world-view, presuppositions, and perception of the gods. Exploiting an array of ancient sources, the author assesses the diverse nature of aparchai and dekatai, the complexity of the motivations underlying them, the role of individuals in shaping tradition, the deployment of this religious custom in politics, and the transformation of a voluntary practice into a religious obligation. By synthesizing a century of scholarship on 'first-fruits' practices in Greek and other religious cultures, the author challenges prevailing interpretations of gift-exchange with the gods in terms of do ut des and da ut dem, which emphasize the reciprocal, obligatory, and sometimes commercial aspects of the gift, and explores hitherto neglected notions including gratitude and thanksgiving. Drawing on current approaches to gift-giving in anthropology, sociology, and economics, in particular the French anthropologist Godelier's idea of 'debt', the volume offers new perspectives with which to conceptualize human-divine relations, and challenges traditional views of the nature of gift-giving between men and gods in Greek religion.

Raven Strike

By: Dale Brown,Jim DeFelice

New York Times–Bestselling Authors: These CIA operatives are on a mission in the Sudan that’s classified—and illegal . . . In the blistering heat of the Sudan, the CIA has gone rogue. On the trail of a notorious terrorist, Agency operatives have overstepped their sanctioned boundaries. And now the ultimate weapon has fallen into the wrong hands. As Danny Freah and his spec-ops team scramble to recover a top-secret aircraft that has crashed in Africa, Whiplash Director Jonathon Reid finds himself mysteriously shut off from information about the robot drone and its mission. Maneuvering through the twisted back corridors of the CIA and Washington’s power elite, Reid discovers secrets both illegal and highly dangerous—a virtually unstoppable assassin and an out-of-control clique within the Agency. Torn between loyalty and conscience, Reid must find a way to alert the president and avert a national disaster. But with the Whiplash team caught in the chaos of a brutal African civil war and CIA officials desperate to keep Reid from telling what he knows, a monster re-emerges to target its creators . . . Praise for Dale Brown “The best military adventure writer in the country.” —Clive Cussler “The novels of Dale Brown brim with violent action, detailed descriptions of sophisticated weaponry, and political intrigue . . . His ability to bring technical weaponry to life is amazing.” —San Francisco Chronicle

No Bad Feelings

A Revolutionary Way of Relating to Your Emotions

By: June Spencer,Jim Spencer

Most people spend a lifetime trying to avoid what they don't want, never developing a talent for enjoying what they have. Accepting feelings for the joy and the pleasure we can derive from them is simply that, and not a tricky way of getting rid of what we haven't been able to enjoy. Life is a "turned-on experience." If that's not obvious, it's because our thumb is on the "off" button. Book jacket.
