Divided and coping with loss, the heroes of Dragon’s Nest must learn to carry on in their task to keep their home safe while on separate paths. The grand city of Lorsyn awaits three travelers, while the fourth is compelled to return to those who share her blood, in championing those who carry none of it. Trials await before either endeavor is to be concluded, and a onetime street urchin will have to reconcile with dark days long past if there’s to be hope in the ones to come. Lorsyn is in need of champions to unshackle its people from a gluttonous tyrant.

In the fight to save a dying land, can there still be a victor? Their champion lost, those who still stand against the Supremacy fight on in the wake of their latest defeat.

Falcon Crest and its hidden machinations have taken much from the Heroes of Dragon’s Nest, but the cost just might not have been for nothing. Change is on the horizon in the form of holding the powerful to task and the possible formation of a new royal lineage. The burden of completing the task for ancient, now-revealed entity, however, soon pushes Jack, Tanner, Allie, and Gefnar back out across a war-torn continent, and new obstacles arise.

Wizened and invigorated by their losses, fears, and ultimate triumph in the elven ruins of Kadason, the Heroes of Dragon’s Nest seek to continue the mission of their looming benefactor by traveling on to the magic-infused stronghold of Falcon Crest. Arriving in the great city, however, they find its people as distrusting of outsiders — especially those of half-breed blood — as they are enamored with their protectors; the Samanir Order and its champions.

Back in the age where they belong, Jack, Tanner, Allie, and Gefnar have bid farewell to their friends in the lawless lands of Varbius, only to encounter an old acquaintance - one who extends to them a curious invitation from the eagle-blood King Shanedir. Intrigued and assured that the requested detour will not delay them long, the heroes of Dragon’s Nest agree to meet with Shanedir, a man strangely intent on uniting all the half-breed nations under a banner of peace.

Gathered in this booklet is a sampling of the simplest but most effective pathways to connect with God in daily life. Most of the sections have been influenced by my retreat work with high school and college students, university faculty, and alumni. The rest of the booklet contains spiritual wisdom and advice that I have found holds universal appeal to all age groups seeking growth in the Christian life. All of it is intended as a means to draw you deeper into God’s love.

Still grappling with the darkness they encountered on Nisaim, Jack, Tanner, Allie, and their new friend Gefnar are merely seeking a moment of peace back in the safety of Dragon’s Nest. But the band’s alliance of happenstance is solidified when an ancient face of evil imparts them with a dangerous task. And, with the town they’ve worked so hard to safeguard held for ransom, refusal is not an option.

As the twenty-first century approaches there is increasing popular and scholarly interest in the Book of Revelation. In this comprehensive CD program, Rev. Daniel Harrington uncovers what this book really says, and explores it as a part of our religious heritage and as a rich research for Christian theology.

Fr. Harrington brings to life the social and religious climate of the ancient world. The everyday help that Proverbs offered the ancients is explained in clear and concise manner. The importance of the fear of the Lord is captured in Sirach and Wisdom. The poem of the good wife that ends Proverbs is astonishingly modern. The context of this poem is the key to its understanding. Honor and shame, evil and death, afterlife, friendship, and community are all delved into in these works.

Fr. Cecero gives a short list of ways to make those changes we are afraid to make. Are normal duties insurmountable? Do you often seek advice to the extreme? Do you find it difficult to express your own ideas? If you answer yes to one of these questions, you may be an unhealthy dependent. Fr. Cecero shows you how to move from unhealthy to healthy dependence. He suggests goals that will help make lifestyle changes; and increase a readiness to engage life.

Le portrait de Jésus que dessinent les trois premiers évangiles tout au long du récit de la Passion et de la Résurrection laisse apparaître, comme en filigrane, toute une série de figures du Premier Testament : "les figures de l'origine", Adam, Abel, Noé, Abraham et Joseph ; "les figures de l'histoire", de Moïse à Jérémie en passant par Josué, David surtout et Élie; "la figure de la fin" avec le serviteur souffrant qui représente la fin des figures.

"Ich bin davon überzeugt, dass es zu Krisen kommt, weil Menschen vergessen, auf was es im Leben eigentlich ankommt. Anders gesagt: weil sie in falschen Bildern vom glücklichen Leben gefangen sind. Weil Menschen sich von Dingen ihr Glück versprechen, die nicht glücklich machen" (Michael Bordt). Der Jesuit und Philosophieprofessor Michael Bordt macht Mut, sich auf die Suche nach einem gelungenen Leben zu begeben.

"Man kann im Leben vor vielem erfolgreich auf der Flucht sein. Vor sich selbst aber nie" (Michael Bordt). Warum ist es so schwer, sich selbst zu erkennen und zu akzeptieren? Wie findet man die innere Freiheit - die Freiheit, sein eigenes Leben zu führen und nicht das Leben, das andere von einem erwarten? Michael Bordt, Jesuit, Philosophieprofessor und Vorstand des Instituts für Philosophie und Leadership hat mit "Die Kunst sich selbst auszuhalten" einen klaren Leitfaden dafür verfasst.
