My Philosophy
Author: John W. Hawkins

Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
Release Date: 2010-03-29
This book consists of a series of essays written by the author following his retirement from Sun Oil Company (now renamed Sunoco) in the 1980s. They are based on a life-changing experience by him at the age of 36 which showed him that all men and women are possessed of unlimited potential to achieve nearly anything that they desire. As a result of this experience he taught an adult education class for two years entitled Realize Your Potential. As quoted on the dedication page to this book, God has made us but little lower than Himself and has placed all things under our feet. An earlier book was published by the author last year entitled What Manner of Man is This? about the life of Jesus. Like St Paul the author agrees that all things work together for good for those who love God and who are called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28) and that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. (Philippians 4:13). All of these essays as well as the chapters in his previous book may be found on his website at www.johnwhawkins.com. His previous book may also be purchased by going to this website.
Aristotle's Children
A true account of a turning point in medieval history that shaped the modern world, from "a superb storyteller" and the author of When Jesus Became God ( Los Angeles Times). Europe was in the long slumber of the Middle Ages, the Roman Empire was in tatters, and the Greek language was all but forgotten—until a group of twelfth-century scholars rediscovered and translated the works of Aristotle. The philosopher's ideas spread like wildfire across Europe, offering the scientific view that the natural world, including the soul of man, was a proper subject of study. The rediscovery of these ancient ideas would spark riots and heresy trials, cause major upheavals in the Catholic Church—and also set the stage for today's rift between reason and religion. Aristotle's Children transports us back to this pivotal moment in world history, rendering the controversies of the Middle Ages lively and accessible, and allowing us to understand the philosophical ideas that are fundamental to modern thought. "A superb storyteller who breathes new life into such fascinating figures as Peter Abelard, Albertus Magnus, St. Thomas Aquinas, Roger Bacon, William of Ockham and Aristotle himself." — Los Angeles Times "Rubenstein's lively prose, his lucid insights and his crystal-clear historical analyses make this a first-rate study in the history of ideas." — Publishers Weekly
