(What purpose do purely intellectual pursuits have in the ...)
What purpose do purely intellectual pursuits have in the lives of Christians? Why should Christians study subjects that have little bearing on their future careers and ministry? In a style reminiscent of the work of Arthur Holmes and Harry Blamires, veteran professor of philosophy Clifford Williams addresses these issues and more in this succinct and accessible examination of the life of the mind. Christians cultivating the life of the mind actively pursue situations and discussions that require experimentation, reflection, and perseverance. They are interested in the acquisition of knowledge that is both unrelated and directly related to their faith. Williams answers common Christian objections to such activities, describes the virtues of the person who engages in the life of the mind, and asserts that the life of the mind is justifiably a Christian calling. The Life of the Mind is directed toward college students contemplating the importance of college and intellectual activity in general, but it will be enjoyed by all committed to developing a Christian mind.

Overcoming Obstacles to Self-Discovery There is a conflict going on within us and we long to be free of it. On the one hand, we are caring, responsible, spiritually sensitive . . . but on the other, we are self-centered, greedy, bogged down by daily desires. Clifford Williams understands. Observant and sensitive to the human spirit, he reminds us that self-awareness is the only sure path to growth. His Daybreakers are fresh and insightful, showing us who we are and how to find the person we want to be. Offering a process long enough to last a year and flexible enough to use in any moment, each of these 365 reflections helps us identify our inner conflicts and then move beyond them. They tackle themes like restlessness, justifying ourselves, allowing ourselves to be loved, looking for goodness, and many more. Daybreakers helps us take a simple step toward keeping our lives in perspective and reminds us that each day is a new opportunity to discover who we are and where we are going.

A challenging but much-needed book for Christians across a broad spectrum-from laypersons and students to pastors and Christian philosophers-Singleness of Heart systematically yet gently searches the secret places of the Christian heart, taking readers beyond the cursory acquaintance they often have with their own true selves and leading them to the healing power of God's grace and the "single-minded pursuit of eternity"
