The Reality of God
Does God exist? Which is true? Evolution, creation...or both? Are we no more than meaningless collisions of molecules? Or do we owe our existence to a Creator, who has willed us (and everything else) into being, and who has a plan and purpose for our lives? The Reality of God addresses these all-important questions by providing an introductory overview of key scientific evidence, philosophical reasons, and insights drawn from human nature demonstrating God’s existence. In simple, accessible language, and well-supported by scientific experts, author Steven Hemler guides the reader through the most compelling evidence for the existence of God. Hemler shows how natural sciences such as biolog...
Confirmation
What are we doing when we confirm teenagers? Why is the religious education of teenagers so perplexing? Why is confirmation often a moment of "graduation" out of parish life? Confirmation: How a Sacrament of God's Grace Became All about Us tells the story of how confirmation, more than any other sacrament, has interacted with secular culture to give rise to these kinds of pastoral challenges. At the same time, confirmation has, over the course of the twentieth century, become a sacramental stamp of approval for various Catholic renewal movements. The cultural shifts of the last century have led to various theological themes for confirmation, creating a crisis of meaning today. Is confirmation a personal choice for faith, or is it the deepening of an ongoing relationship with the Divine? Timothy Gabrielli gives us a fresh approach for addressing these pressing questions.

Wind Loads and Anchor Bolt Design for Petrochemical Facilities
Prepared by theØTask Committee on Wind-Induced Forces and Task Committee on Anchor Bolt Design of the Petrochemical Committee of the Energy Division of ASCE. This report presents state-of-the-practice set of guidelines for the determination of wind-induced forces and the design of anchor bolts for petrochemical facilities. Current codes and standards do not address many of the structures found in the petrochemical industry. As a result, engineers and petrochemical companies have independently developed procedures and techniques for handling engineering issues such as the twoØcontained in this report. A lack of standardization in the industry has led to inconsistent structural reliability, however. This volume is intended for structural design engineers familiar with design of industrial-type structures.
Three Worlds of Collective Human Experience: Individual Life, Social Change, and Human Evolution
This book explores three worlds shared by the humans in their collective experiences. It identifies and explores the world of commonsense, the world of religion, and the world of science as three essential dimensions of human experience. The book helps understand that humans can gain comfort and pleasure in commonsense, achieve meaning and purpose from religion, and attain truth and rationality through science. It actively applies theories to and develops theoretical explanations from different domains or situations of human existence. This book is of interest to theorists, researchers, instructors, and students across major academic disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.
Abortion and Public Policy
This collection of essays provides an interdisciplinary analysis of the abortion debate in the United States from the perspective of the Catholic tradition. The essays, presented originally at a conference at St. Louis University, examine the scientific, philosophical, theological, legal, and political dimensions of public policy on abortion. By presenting the balanced, rational argument for the Catholic position on this highly charged subject, Abortion and Public Policy makes a major contribution to public policy discourse in our pluralistic society.
Guidelines for Seismic Evaluation and Design of Petrochemical Facilities
Topics include design and evaluation philosophy, seismic hazards such as ground shaking, fault rupture, and tsunamis, analysis and load definition, primary structural design criteria and considerations, walkdown evaluations of existing facilities, design and evaluation of tanks at grade, and retrofit design and procedures for seismically deficit structures.
A Call for New Crusaders
The author brings to these books his African background and understanding of Catholic teaching, along with his education in economics, politics, and philosophy at the London School of Economics and Political Science, University of London. He also reflects, in the books, his professional experience as a former economic adviser with the UK government and a senior economist at the World Bank, where he worked on various projects in the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Europe.
