Blast off into deep space and deep philosophy with the apologetic of the future in The Truth is Out There!
Two friends and colleagues, the thoughtful Brendan and the impulsive Erc, make their usual trip as interplanetary couriers, but this time the trip isn't going like they're used to. Brendan has begun to think about the question, "Why are we here?" and the discussions he has as a result send him and Erc to places they've never been before - places of the mind and spirit, not of the physical galaxy. Against the backdrop of a dynamic and engaging graphic novel, the author Amadeus (pen name for a Marionite monk) presents an argument for Christian belief that will look familar to those who have read the great Catholic writers such as the Patristics, Augustine, Aquinas and Newman, but looks new and fresh for a young audience. From the existence of a human soul, Brendan hears arguments for the existence of God, the validity of Revealation, and ultimately the personal response to Christ's invitation to follow him. Clear, compelling and comprehensive in its writing; bold, evocative and just plain fun in its design, this resource will jump out at certain students, and be easily recognized in its themes and style by all students. In fact, the presentation of the curious questioner, the wise informer, and the obstinate resistor in a three-way dialogue working through profound questions of philosophy is a Classic strategy found from Ancient to Renaissance writers. This just has lasers, too. |

Music has just cracked open its brilliance to me. Or perhaps I've crack myself open to it. This week I received more hours of intensive music instruction than I had received in almost four decades of life. It was eating a giant birthday cake: at first my brain was delighted to gorge unlimited, and then in due time it wondered where the next slice would fit.
Here's what I've learned, about music, and about God. |
