Thomas Paine's The Age of Reason; Being an Investigation of True and Fabulous Theology, published in three parts from 1794, was a best seller in America, where it caused a short-lived deistic revival.

This book is geared to the average citizen with little or no economics background who would like the tools to think critically about economic issues.

This book is about the great moral issues underlying many of the headline-making political controversies of our times. It is not a comforting book but a book about disturbing and dangerous trends.

"Écouter est une attitude du cœur, un désir authentique d'être avec l'autre qui attire et guérit à la fois." J. Isham. Lorsqu'un conflit apparaît, il est le plus souvent le fruit d'un malentendu, c'est à dire un "mal exprimé" et un "mal écouté". Nous sommes souvent plus habiles à dire leurs quatre vérités aux autres qu'à leur exprimer simplement la vérité de ce qui se passe en nous. Nous n'avons d'ailleurs pas appris à tenter de comprendre ce qui se passe en eux. Finalement, nous avons appris à nous couper de nous-mêmes pour être avec les autres.
