Warrior Wisdom


Book Description

As long as humankind has recorded the written word, the warrior has been admired as the embodiment of some of the best aspects of human beings. They have demanded and demonstrated the great qualities and possibilities of moral human action such as courage, loyalty, determination and intelligence. Writers of all kinds and natures have recorded the deeds of these great warriors as models of manly behavior and chivalrous ideals. The great names of history are the names of fighters and warriors. These great warriors lived on the knife edge between life and death, and their pending mortality acted to reveal eternal truths about human life through both their motives and acts. Thus the warrior perspective is universally unique and therefore still applicable today in our more complex modern world. Warrior Wisdom includes a huge collection of unforgettable quotes, sayings and writings from warriors and warrior leaders, both past and present, and from around the world. This exhaustive book reveals the essentialities of the Fighter's life, speaking with great heart, eloquence, wisdom and an earned authenticity on subjects still crucial to you today: leadership, loyalty, honor, courage, tactics, strategy and much more. Read what warriors - Western and Eastern, obscure and famous, admirable and despicable - have said about themselves and others. Be inspired by the words of such important figures from Alexander the Great to General George Patton. Benefit from the pithy strategic wisdoms of Xenophon, Miyamoto Musahi, Sun Tzu and Napoleon Bonaparte. Enjoy the wit of Winston Churchill, and the philosophical and spiritual musings of Marcus Aurelius and King David. Warrior Wisdom offers a unique opportunity to thoroughly explore what it really means to be a warrior...in the worlds of yesterday and today.




Wounded Wisdom


Book Description

Most of us have lived through painful, humiliating or traumatic experiences, leaving us haunted and conditioned by reactions that trap us in ongoing cycles of feeling hurt and hurting others. And on the wider political scale, we have obviously yet to learn the art of responding well to the hurts of terrorism, exploitation, or more local conflicts of interest. Either we resort to reciprocal violence, or claim too readily the status of innocent victim. The book begins by looking at three predominant negative responses. It then draws on a variety of traditions from the author’s own Buddhist Christian perspective, exploring how deep meditation can help take us beyond the negative narratives of hurt. The author finds ambivalent but broadly positive images in childhood innocence and the tragicomic fool, and urges the importance of a radical and unconditional forgiveness of self and others that is grounded in both Buddhist Emptiness and the risen Christ. By these means, the habit of accusation that so easily dominates self and society can give way to humour and mutual wonder.

Armed and Dangerous


Book Description

We are all fighting battles in one way or another--either physical, mental, or spiritual. We've all been wounded in those battles, and we've wounded others in the process. We can choose to let those wounds define who we are, or we can choose to clothe ourselves with the armor of God, stand, and fight! Armed and Dangerous: From Wounded to Warrior can help you face the physical, mental, and spiritual battles that we face every day, inspiring you to turn to God's Word for his victorious wisdom. Author Vanessa Mininger invites you to show off your battle scars and prepare for the assaults of the world--greed, lust, gluttony, laziness, wrath, envy, and pride. But by putting on the armor of God, we can be a light in the darkness of the world, even learning how to save others from these harms. We are all dangerous to the world through either our wounds or through our battle to be a light in an ever darkening world. It's time to go from wounded to warrior!
