	The Divine Secret of Nothing By: Vincent Morales Price: $14.95 Quantity in Basket: none ISBN: 978-1-60862-122-4 Edition: Paperback, 225 Pages Publication Date: January 14, 2010
A man shares his synthesis of ancient and quasi-empirical thinking that helped him to become more open to receive the grace that he needed to conquer the passions of the flesh to return to God what belongs to Him. The man utilizes scriptural verses, the wisdom of saints and philosophers, and insightful illustrations to empower and encourage the reader in the good fight to conquer the passions of self; for the reward that God gives to a person – for conquering the passions and returning what belongs to Him – is nothing less than, as St. Teresa of Avila said, the reward of Himself. This book might be difficult for some people to read due to its controversial content. Nevertheless, it is an illuminating and thought-provoking read for people who want to know God as Complete Goodness as well as the man’s revelatory thoughts on: the Bible, the devil, the fallen angels, creation and the afterlife.
	Codex Michelangelo By: Raul P. Rodriguez Price: $10.95 Quantity in Basket: none ISBN: 978-1-59824-996-5 Edition: Paperback, 131 Pages Publication Date: February 12, 2009
The subject of creation is commonly regarded as an arena of incompatibility between science and religion. This book is an attempt to harmonize scientific theories regarding the beginning of the universe and the existence of living beings with the story of creation revealed within the Bible. The anecdotal approach employed in this book contains accurate historical references, albeit melded with distinguishably fictitious stories that intertwine with the realities of our past to illustrate the drama on which our narrative embarks. This work is not in any way intended to compromise the teaching of the Church for the sake of accommodating the scientific theories of mankind. On the contrary, it is the objective of this book, as previously stated, through sound reasoning and the powerful and clear voice of fiction, to show that both teachings could be equally accepted.
	The Moral Atheist Living Ethically Without God, Gods or Demons By: Bill Tomlinson Price: $12.95 Quantity in Basket: none ISBN: 978-1-59824-946-0 Edition: Paperback, 175 Pages Publication Date: November 1, 2008 Other Editions: Hardcover
The Moral Atheist argues in non-technical terms that ‘being moral’ is compatible with ‘being an atheist’, but goes further to suggest that there is more harmony between these two notions than there is between ‘being moral’ and ‘being a theist’. Using reason, semantics and common sense, Tomlinson makes the case that, first, the non-existence of a god does not imply that there is no discoverable objective morality and that, second, without the belief in a god there are still excellent reasons for the atheist and everyone else to strive to be a good person. The book presents a practical and objective ethical system that reflects how language is used in everyday communication. Along the way the reader explores important philosophical insights while gaining an appreciation for the way that philosophy is actually done. Tomlinson has been an instructor of Philosophy at California State University, Northridge for thirty-three years.

	Notes from the Aboveground By: John Sullivan Price: $10.95 Quantity in Basket: none ISBN: 978-1-59824-723-7 Edition: Paperback, 146 Pages Publication Date: November 21, 2007
Notes from the Aboveground provocatively argues that competition for power leads totalitarian man inexorably toward a libertarian order. The relationships examined between human nature, power and ideology are a synthesis of Hobbes, Mandeville, and Nietzsche, but the conclusions drawn depart from them and are startlingly original. The feature of man that premises Notes from the Aboveground is egocentrism. Defining the ego as a need for social recognition, selfishness takes the form of both success and charity, dynamically creating the nexus of civilization. While aggressively challenging man’s opinion of himself, Notes from the Aboveground suggests that civil institutions are not the product of enlightened thought, but of appeasement to rising power. Societies are the result of the balance of power, and as human competition intensifies, power is won by increasing portions of it, the unplanned wisdom being that it is limited to the preservation of order, and with it the species.

This is a true story of a journey and a miracle. On December 6, 2005, in the offices of two separate medical experts, I was informed that my days were numbered. I was advised to take more medicines, and get admitted into the emergency room. If not, there was little the doctors could do. By then, I was already on numerous medicines for countless years. I knew that my body and stomach would not permit the intake of any more medication. All my life, I had lived my way. So, I signed a liability release form and decided to die my way. I surrendered to HIM. On January 7, 2006, I was down to just one medicine. I was on my way to full recovery. It is a fun, happy, and romantic story that is culturally educational, medically astonishing, spiritually uplifting, and studded with travel experiences. The journey was long and arduous, but never dull. It was scenic, adventurous, thrilling, and fulfilling. It took me through two masters degrees, two marriages, two children, two 10+ year long divorces, a few acquaintances, several friends, some companions, a career, several hobbies, the 7 continents, 5 oceans, 4 rivers, several islands, many debilitating illnesses, several awakenings, noteworthy self realization and a miraculous recovery. Most importantly, it helped me find answers to two very important questions. Is happiness a medicine? Is there one medicine whose purpose is to eliminate the need for all other medicines? The answers to both of which are a resounding – Yes. Perhaps, that is why I got nicknamed AN – Amazing Nupur.
	Modern Philosophical Dialogues Reclaiming the Tradition By: Benjamin Stern Price: $8.95 Quantity in Basket: none ISBN: 1-59824-332-2 Edition: Paperback, 89 Pages Publication Date: August 17, 2006 Other Editions: Adobe Ebook (read on computer only)
Modern Philosophical Dialogues: Reclaiming the Tradition, is a philosophical dialogue between a man immersed in modern/postmodern thought and culture named Joe, and a Christian woman named April who is immersed in the Western tradition. Together they discuss philosophical issues relevant to every person including beauty, government, art, morality, virtue, friendship, love, commitment, God, and many other topics. The purpose of these dialogues is to provoke interest in philosophy, stimulate intellectual discussion, and promote authentic moral living in the reader. Modern philosophy has strayed from the dialogue approach in favor of an academic model. This book wishes to reclaim the ancient spirit found in Plato and applies the search for wisdom in our modern day for “the average person”.
