Letters from a Stoic is one of the essential works of Roman Stoic philosophy, offering a series of moral reflections on virtue, discipline, friendship, time, grief, mortality, wealth, simplicity, and the art of living well. Written as letters addressed to Lucilius, these meditations combine practical advice with deep philosophical insight, showing how reason, self-command, and inner freedom can help a person face uncertainty, loss, desire, and fear.

The deepest currents of passion seldom break the surface of literature. Romantic classics abound; but however skilled a writer may be in verbalising an emotional experience, he cannot publicly evoke the heat of blood, the yearning of soul, bared in perfect intimacy between two beings. But letters can do this, and songs never meant to be sung by any but the lover, or the beloved.

She shaped the greatest churchman of the fourth century. The Church forgot her name. Ask any Orthodox Christian, Catholic, or student of church history who saved the Nicene faith — the faith behind the Creed billions of Christians confess every Sunday — and they will name Basil the Great. Ask who made Basil the Great, and almost no one will know the answer.

One Light, Many Lanterns is a contemplative journey through the rituals that connect people across faiths, cultures, and time. The world’s religions can look endlessly different—different names, buildings, prayers, customs, and rules. But beneath those differences, many traditions return to the same human needs: to begin again, to remember, to cleanse, to fast, to gather, to walk toward what matters, to practice mercy, and to sit quietly before mystery.

I have encountered many Muslims in Europe, the United States, the Middle East, and South East Asia, who have been heavily influenced by the ideas of orientalist scholars. These Muslims have expressed doubts about the authority and preservation of Hadith. This led me to research this topic in-depth in order to address the concerns and doubts of these individuals.

Three men are handed a fortune and told nothing. Two put the money at risk. One buries his share, keeps it perfectly safe, and returns every coin of it. He is the only one condemned — and he is the only one who lost nothing. Most of us spend a third of our waking lives inside arrangements we rarely examine: an agreement to give hours in exchange for money, made with someone who holds more power than we do, governed by rules that are mostly unwritten. We know when something has gone wrong in such an arrangement. We are far less certain what would make it right.

From miraculous deliverance out of captivity to decades of extreme solitude on Mount Athos, St. Peter wages relentless spiritual warfare, conquers the passions, and rises into deep communion with God. His life becomes a living testimony of hesychasm, inner purification, and union with the divine.

Why do so many of today’s debates seem impossible to resolve? Often it’s because we’re asking the wrong questions. Whether the subject is family, church, education, justice, economics, life, death, or the culture around us, our answers will only be as sound as the assumptions behind the questions we ask. Too often, those assumptions have been shaped more by the surrounding culture than by Scripture. In Think Again, Andrea Schwartz invites listeners to step back from familiar arguments and examine the hidden ideas that quietly influence how we think.

Faith in Space examines the key thinkers and religious leaders throughout American history who built faith communities around the notion that we are not alone in the universe, and that the path to spiritual truth leads heavenward to the stars.

Some individuals have such a magnetic personality that they can attract a hugely devoted following, ignoring the misdeeds of their leader and even committing evil on their behalf. With religious, spiritual or philosophical beliefs to guide them, cults can lead to some of the disturbing events of the modern era. Filled with shadowy rituals and sinister hierarchies and led by masterful manipulators, they can easily become the site of unthinkable horror—and it is only after the leader is brought down that those caught deep inside truly understand what was going on.
