The Greatest Love of All

"The Greatest Love of All" is a powerful, deeply contemplative book about a journey with God. A compilation of intense Christian poetry and Catholic apologetics. Moving, inspiring love sonnets to God, Christmas poems that will put you in the manger with the Holy Family and Passion poems that will make you feel like you were standing at the foot of the Cross on the first Good Friday. There are also great, unanswerable questions for God. Atheists don't believe in God's existence at all; but there must be a God because matter cannot cause itself and complex life cannot come from unintelligent matter. As Albert Einstein ingeniously said, "The perfect order of the Universe is proof of the existence of God." The author always sarcastically tells atheists that he will contemplate their extremely unscientific "Big Bang" theory when they can blow up a pile of lumber and a house comes down." No, there absolutely must to be a God. The enormous questions this book asks are: "How did a perfect and all powerful God create such an incredibly imperfect world with foreknowledge and omnipotence? How does a kind and merciful, holy, all good and loving Heavenly Father sit on a throne in Paradise while He is safe and sound and watch the Nazi Holocaust and all the rest of human pain and suffering?" "The Greatest Love of All" is universal in it's appeal and will be a part of the curriculum for college theology classes around the world stirring vigorous intellectual debate everywhere. This book is a compelling, must read for all spiritual people.

Sources of Tibetan Tradition

The most comprehensive collection of Tibetan works in a Western language, this volume illuminates the complex historical, intellectual, and social development of Tibetan civilization from its earliest beginnings to the modern period. Including more than 180 representative writings, Sources of Tibetan Tradition spans Tibet's vast geography and long history, presenting for the first time a diversity of works by religious and political leaders; scholastic philosophers and contemplative hermits; monks and nuns; poets and artists; and aristocrats and commoners. The selected readings reflect the profound role of Buddhist sources in shaping Tibetan culture while illustrating other major areas of knowledge. Thematically varied, they address history and historiography; political and social theory; law; medicine; divination; rhetoric; aesthetic theory; narrative; travel and geography; folksong; and philosophical and religious learning, all in relation to the unique trajectories of Tibetan civil and scholarly discourse. The editors begin each chapter with a survey of broader social and cultural contexts and introduce each translated text with a concise explanation. Concluding with writings that extend into the early twentieth century, this volume offers an expansive encounter with Tibet's exceptional intellectual heritage.
