Living the Hours explores what makes the monastic tradition so appealing to ordinary people today who may be discovering a world of spirituality previously hidden from them, or perhaps questioning the balance, priorities and focal points of their lives. Since its beginnings in the fourth century, monasticism's alternative vision for living has, in different ways, always inspired men and women in the secular world to step outside the routine of everyday life and to give time to reflection and exploration. The monastic day is measured in 'hours' with times for prayer, physical work, study and rest all contributing to a balanced, holistic life. This book looks at different expressions of monastic life through history and at the new monastic movements emerging today and asks how they can teach us in today's consumerist world to live more fully, more consciously aware of how we choose to fill our hours and days.

In "Fifteen Hundred Miles an Hour," Charles Edward Dixon, who is well-known for his exacting observations of the natural world, deftly combines his scientific fiction worldview with his abiding passion for the natural world. Being a renowned naturalist and ornithologist, Dixon's literary skills go far beyond the confines of conventional animal research, taking readers into undiscovered realms of the imaginative and speculative. Dixon, who is renowned for his unmatched commitment to careful observation, uses the same meticulous attention to detail in "Fifteen Hundred Miles an Hour" as he did in earlier ornithological writings. His narrative progresses at a speed that parallels the amazing swiftness of his bird subjects, all thanks to his acute observation of the subtleties found in the natural world. Dixon's ability to move fluidly between factual and hypothetical elements is demonstrated in "Fifteen Hundred Miles an Hour," demonstrating that his writing talents are not limited to conventional genres. Readers are encouraged to soar with Dixon on this literary trip as he explores the infinite wonders of nature and his own limitless imagination as a world-class biologist turned science fiction storyteller.

The Last Hours of Christ's Life traces the experience of Jesus from the Garden of Gethsemane, where He declared, ?My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death? (Mark 14:34), to the cross, where He cried out, ?It is finished? (John 19:30). These scenes may be familiar to many readers, but new insights and a new appreciation for what Christ has done will be gained by a careful and prayerful reading of this book. The reader will also get a close look at the men who played a part in the last hours of Christ's life. In a very real sense we have all betrayed, denied, and abused Christ, for those men long ago were just like we are, and today many are repeating history. This book presents warnings against doing as these men did. May the Holy Spirit speak to your heart and lead you to ?Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world? (John 1:29).

Originally published in 1910, this guide offers down-to-earth, practical advice about how to make the most of your day and how to strike the work-life balance—an issue still at the forefront of modern society's concerns As you look back on the year that has just past, do you feel as though you spent another 12 months merely existing instead of truly living? Do you often go to bed at night with an anxious, sinking feeling that you wasted away another precious day? The important lesson, according to Arnold Bennett's guide, is to commit to carving out some time each day to do things that will really enrich your life and help you progress. Investing all your hours in a job you dislike; your routine consisting of getting up, going to work, coming home, unwinding, and going to bed—Bennett argues that this is not living but simply existing. Bennett's solution is to make the most of the time either side of working hours, the commute, the evening hours, and that golden time, the weekend! Time can be spent in various pursuits, from literature, enjoying of the arts, or even just time spent in reflection. This pioneering and original lifestyle and time management guide is succinctly and cleverly written in an easy-to-read and narrative style that readers will enjoy and find as useful today as it was 100 years ago.
