The Ignatian Adventure: Experiencing the Spiritual Exercises

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: O'Brien, Kevin, PUBLISHER: Loyola Press, Embark on the spiritual adventure of a lifetime--with St. Ignatius Loyola as your guide There are many ways to experience the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius Loyola, each way known as an annotation. In "The Ignatian Adventure," Kevin O'Brien, SJ, offers his own adaptation of the widely used 19th annotation, which allows people to "make" the Exercises over an extended period of time in the course of their daily lives. The first part of O'Brien's book provides helpful background information, including a brief history of St. Ignatius, an explanation of the Spiritual Exercises and their purpose, and a description of different ways to make the Exercises. The book's core offers 32 weeks of prayer and meditations, the ultimate intent of which is to draw participants into a deeper encounter with God. But what truly sets this book apart from other 19th annotations is how O'Brien, the executive director of campus ministry at Georgetown University, has woven throughout the chapters his own personal accounts of living out the Exercises in everyday life. Through O'Brien's deeply moving stories, readers discover how the Exercises intersect with the real world. "The Ignatian Adventure" is an ideal resource for spiritual directors, but its user-friendly, down-to-earth style also makes it perfect for any individual seeking a better understanding of Ignatian spirituality or a deeper life of prayer.

Original Sin: Illuminating the Riddle

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Blocher, Henri / Carson, D. A., PUBLISHER: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, This series addresses key issues in the discipline of biblical theology. Scholarly yet entirely accessible to students, pastors, and lay readers, these volumes avoid technical jargon, interact with the best, most relevant literature, and -- above all -- provide clear and creative insights that help thinking Christians better understand the Bible and its application to contemporary life. In this sophisticated treatment of the biblical evidence for original sin, Henri Blocher offers a robust study that interacts with the best scientific, literary, and theological thinking on the subject. Building his argument on a detailed analysis of the scriptural evidence for original sin, especially looking at key texts in Genesis and Romans, Blocher shows that affirming the traditional belief in original sin is the only way to make sense of evil and wrongdoing.

There Is a Better Way: A New Economic Agenda

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Smith, John Grieve / Grieve Smith, John, PUBLISHER: Anthem Press, Has the British Labour Party lost its way? In this critical analysis of New Labour's economic and welfare policies, John Grieve Smith suggests that, far from pursuing any new Third Way, Tony Blair's Government is actively consolidating the Thatcherite Revolution. He argues that if Labour is to break the Thatcherite mould and achieve its long-standing objective of a fairer society, it must adopt radically different policies. John Grieve Smith analyzes the policies needed to achieve genuine full employment, and examines the continued whittling away of social security benefits and the need for higher and more progressive taxation if the quality of health and education services is to be improved. The greatest challenge of coming decades for Britain is to develop more effective international institutions in the economic and other fields. Here, John Grieve Smith puts forward a program of major reforms of the global financial system, to make both developing and industrialized countries less vulnerable to unstable financial markets. This lively and controversial book is a timely contribution to the debate over the future of New Labour.

The Myth of the Paperless Office

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sellen, Abigail J. / Harper, Richard H. R., PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), IEEE-USAB Award for Distinguished Literary Contributions Furthering Engineering Professionalism Over the past thirty years, many people have proclaimed the imminent arrival of the paperless office. Yet even the World Wide Web, which allows almost any computer to read and display another computer's documents, has increased the amount of printing done. The use of e-mail in an organization causes an average 40 percent increase in paper consumption. In "The Myth of the Paperless Office," Abigail Sellen and Richard Harper use the study of paper as a way to understand the work that people do and the reasons they do it the way they do. Using the tools of ethnography and cognitive psychology, they look at paper use from the level of the individual up to that of organizational culture. Central to Sellen and Harper's investigation is the concept of "affordances"--the activities that an object allows, or affords. The physical properties of paper (its being thin, light, porous, opaque, and flexible) afford the human actions of grasping, carrying, folding, writing, and so on. The concept of affordance allows them to compare the affordances of paper with those of existing digital devices. They can then ask what kinds of devices or systems would make new kinds of activities possible or better support current activities. The authors argue that paper will continue to play an important role in office life. Rather than pursue the ideal of the paperless office, we should work toward a future in which paper and electronic document tools work in concert and organizational processes make optimal use of both.
