Simply Surrender: Therese of Lisieux


Description

In Simply Surrender, readers meet one of the modern world's best-loved saints and spiritual guides, Therese of Lisieux. Day after day readers will slowly discover the profound truths in the Little Way, the insights about prayer and holiness that this great saint shared in her autobiography, The Story of a Soul. A written invitation to a spiritual journey with a kind and gentle mystic, it is part of the popular and beautifully redesigned spirituality series, 30 Days with a Great Spiritual Teacher.

An outstanding storyteller, Susan Howatch has created a novel of spirituality and morality where the loyalties and passions of four people are played out against their dedication to religion and the path of right. The next book in the successful 100 MOST series, 100 Most Feared Creatures features the scariest beasts in the animal kingdom! Roy Rappaport argues that religion is central to the continuing evolution of life, although it has been been displaced from its original position of Simply Surrender: Therese of Lisieux free epub intellectual authority by the rise of modern science. His book, which could be construed as in some degree religious as well as about religion, insists that religion can and must be reconciled with science. Combining adaptive and cognitive approaches to the study of humankind, he mounts a comprehensive analysis of religion's evolutionary significance, seeing it as co-extensive with the invention of language and hence of culture as we know it. At the same time he assembles the fullest study yet of religion's main component, ritual, which constructs the conceptions which we take to be religious and has been central in the making of humanity's adaptation. The text amounts to a manual for effective ritual, illustrated by examples drawn from anthropology, history, philosophy, comparative religion, and elsewhere.
