Superheroes and Gods


Book Description

The work provides a unique study of superheroes and gods in literature, popular culture, and ancient myth. The author selects a number of mythological figures (e.g., Babylonia's Gilgamesh and Enkidu), ancient gods (e.g., Greece's Eros and Tartarus), and modern superheroes (e.g., the United States' Superman and Captain Marvel) and identifies the often striking similarities between each unique category of characters. The author contends that the vast majority of mythological superheroes follow the same archetypal character patterns, regardless of each hero's unique time period or culture. Each of the first nine chapters examines the heroes and gods of a particular region or country, while the final chapter examines modern descendants of the hero prototype like Batman and Spiderman and several infamous anti-heroes (for example, Dracula and The Hulk). Instructors considering this book for use in a course may request an examination copy here.




God's Superheroes


Book Description

Did you know that God has superheroes of his own? They started as ordinary people of different ages, from all different countries and different races, from rich and poor and all walks of life. Then they heard God's call, accepted their missions, and were changed forever! God's Superheroes: Amazing Catholic Men, Vol. II highlights another thirty-eight amazing Catholic men, including Saint Damien de Veuster, Saint Francis de Sales, Hugh O'Flaherty, Saint Jean de Brebeuf, Saint José Sánchez del Río, Saint Juan Diego, Saint Philip Neri, Blessed Solanus Casey, and a trio of heroic chaplains: Servant of God Emil Kapaun, Venerable Joseph Lafleur, and Servant of God Vincent Capodanno. The men in this book were brave and bold in their Catholic Faith. Some of them even had what could be called "superpowers." God gave them special abilities that helped them bring people closer to him, such as healing, bilocation, reading hearts and minds, and knowing future events. Whether dealing with their own weaknesses or facing persecution, torture, and even death, they held onto their faith and never wavered in their mission. God's superheroes are still champions for good today. They want you to continue their work of helping those in need, fighting evil and injustice, and making Jesus known and loved. They want to help you find the mission that God has for you. Learn about holy women in this book's companion — God"s Superheroes: Amazing Catholic Women, Vol. II.

Superhero


Book Description

"Who really am I?" This question may be the root cause of all questions you may have asked. Questions such as: Why do I always fail? Why do I keep acting this way? How come life is a struggle for me? Why is it that I have everything and still I'm not happy? I know I need to change, but how do I do it? These questions have no racial barrier. They don't care whether you are black, white, or Hispanic. These questions can care less if you're poor, middle-class, or rich! These questions are rooted and grounded in the hearts of men like green grass is rooted and grounded across the earth. In today's society, the masses of men are being held captive by a self-imprisonment called an "identity crisis." I've experienced the worst of both worlds, a spiritual prison within myself and a natural prison behind real bars. It wasn't until I made my mind up to simply be a free man by awakening the true man on the inside of me. How? By discovering who I really am. In this mind-renewing book, you will discover that true freedom will exist in your life when you discover who you really are. This book was written behind the dark walls of prison while sitting on an old ice cooler. For a number of months, as chapters went by, you were on my mind while writing this book of change. I must say that this book is designed for men who are tired of being tormented by living a lifestyle of not knowing who you are. Keep in mind that the key to having a fulfilled abundant life is when you discover who you really are. Then, and only then, will you stand boldly as the super hero that you were created to be. And God will say boldly "This is a man after my own heart."
