A propos de cet article

Near fine unread condition beige linen boards with brown spine lettering contained in a very good condition color photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by Fulton J. Sheen. Table of Contents is as follows: Introduction: Plan and Purpose; Happiness; Work; Love; Children; Youth; Man's Goal; Inner Peace; Giving; Fellowship; and Man. Book Club Edition. All pages are in fine unmarked condition and the spine/binding is in exceedingly tight and square unread condition (see photographs). "This volume was compiled by Bishop Sheen with a specific purpose - "to bring solace, healing and hope to hearts; truth and enlightenment to mind; goodness, strength and resolution to wills." There are three basic assumptions of this book: First: The overemphasis on politics today indicates that people are goverened rather than governing. We are so intent on governing what is outside of us that we neglect to govern our own selves. Yet the key to social betterment is always found in personal betterment. Remake man and you remake his world. Second: As society is made by man, so man, in his turn, is made by his thoughts, his decisions, and his choices. Nothing ever happens to the world which did not first happen inside the mind of some man: the material of the skyscraper merely completes the architect's dream. Even the material of our physical selves is the servant of our thoughts. Psychologists recognize that our bodies may become tired only because of tiredness of the mind. Worry, anxiety, fear, and boredom are felt as physical. Mind fatigue appears to us as bodily fatigue. Third: Our happiness consists in fulfilling the purpose of our being. Every man knows, from his unfulfilled hunger for them, that he was built with a capacity for three things of which he never has enough. He wants life - for always and with no aging or disease to threaten it. He wants truth. And he wants love - not with a time limit, but love that will be an abiding acstasy. These three things are not to be found in this life in their completion: on earth life is shadowed by death, truth mingles with error, love is mixed with hate. But men know they would not long for these things in their purity if there were no possibility of ever finding them. "We must seek," Biship Sheen says, "for Pure Life, Pure Truth and Pure Love - and that is the definition of God. His Life is personal enough to be a Father; His Truth is personal and comprehensible enough to be a Son; His Love is so deep and spiritual that it is a Spirit. "When enough men have found this way to happiness, they will find one another in brotherhood. Social peace will then ensue." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.…

Description de la boutique

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
