James M. Houston Manufacturer: Victor ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 078144425X |
Book Description
One of the greatest Christian thinkers and writers on spiritual formation today, Dr. James Houston thoughtfully examines what is at the core of every human soul: a longing for intimacy with God. In each book, Houston examines an aspect of what it means to truly experience the most profound of all relationships.
Vol. 1: The Desire
"Desire is the throbbing pulse of human life. What we long for determines the scope of our experiences, the depth of our insights, the standards by which we judge, and the responsibility with which we choose our values."
Vol. 2: The Fulfillment
In this important volume, Dr. James Houston explores the nature of happiness and the world's supposed answers. Then he holds Christ up as the definitive example of truly fulfilled happiness.

Aelred of Rievaulx: Pursuing Perfect Happiness (The Newman Press)

ASIN: 0809142619 |
Book Description
For the medieval Cistercian abbot Aelred of Rievaulx, human beings are capable of happiness because human nature is good-but the self-defeating choices of humans have led to their misery. A loving God leads humans to happiness by nudging their free wills toward choosing the good and then, if they respond positively, giving them the power to realize that good. The power, or virtue, which perfects the human intellect is humility, which is not meekness but self-knowledge, gained through introspection and meditation on and through nature and Scripture. The will is perfected through love, without which no human act is good. Love for oneself, for others, and for God are complementary, not competing acts of the will. A special way of loving is friendship, on which Aelred's teaching is perhaps the most complete and most sophisticated in the history of Christian thought. Perfection is, for Aelred, attainable in this life, since he sees perfection as a process, not a static condition. That condition will be attained in the total fulfillment of the afterlife.

Pursuing Happiness
Stanley Lebergott Manufacturer: Princeton University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0691025991 |
Book Description
Whether watching baseball or undergoing heart surgery, Americans have bought a variety of goods and services to achieve happiness. Here is a provocative look at what they have chosen to purchase. Stanley Lebergott maintains that the average consumer has behaved more reasonably than many distinguished critics of "materialism" have suggested. He sees consumers seeking to make an uncertain and often cruel world into a pleasanter and more convenient place--and, for the most part, succeeding. With refreshing common sense, he reminds us of what many "luxuries" have meant, especially for women: increased income since 1900 has been used largely to lighten the backbreaking labor once required by household chores.
