And yet, few take time beforehand to think about these endings, and in the process may lose the wisdom of the ages that comes after facing death. Perhaps this explains why when Plato was asked to summarize his philosophy he reportedly said: Practice dying. He understood that dying is what each one of us does throughout our lives, whether it is leaving home the first time to go to school or departing from this planet when our lives end. If we learn how to die--to let go and get our egos out of the way--we will have gained wisdom about how best to live. This brief yet comprehensive book deals not only with the philosophical and psychological meaning of death but its practical implications for our lives. Written by two brothers who have taught philosophy, ethics, psychology, and religion at community colleges and four-year private colleges, this book can be used in many learning situations, whether part of courses in philosophy, ethics, psychology, or counseling; or for short-term workshops or continuing education courses for students in human services, health care, social work, or any of the helping professions.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50394189005073,"sku":"CIN1597524050G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1597524050.jpg?v=1751087962"},{"product_id":"resisting-tyranny-book-john-c-morgan-phd-9781532644658","title":"Resisting Tyranny","description":"Resisting Tyranny is a new book about an American Revolutionary patriot, Matthew Lyon, a Congressman from Vermont, who was thrown into jail for criticizing then President John Adams under the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798. This is the story of a young Irish immigrant who became a leader in the Republican Party of his time, a crusading newspaper editor, and the founder of a town in Vermont and another in Kentucky. His legacy makes history come alive in our time with warnings for us to treasure and protect our First Amendment rights. This book makes for fine reading, not just for its story value. Resisting Tyranny also gives an insight into the dynamic of how tyranny can thrive, not just in Lyon's time, but our own. It speaks to the crucial importance of protecting our rights to free speech and a press. --Don Wendorf, Retired Psychologist and Musician At a time when a U.S. president and his sycophants, and even religious advisors, are accusing the media of inventing 'fake news, ' this brief book inspires us to remember our priceless constitutional rights. This Irish-American and friend of Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys never feared to champion democracy against the pretensions and powers in both State and Church. --Dwyn Mounger, Historian, American History The sheer genius of this book is found in the way it puts the average person in touch with this period of history and in the way it makes history's lessons relevant for today. It warns against governments that step into tyranny to insure they can do what they desire to do against the will of the people. --Will Randolph, Director of Office on Aging, United Methodist Church This is a good time for the Morgans' book Resisting Tyranny to appear, as we live with Faulkner's declaration, 'The past is not dead, it's not even past.' Matthew Lyon's story needs to be revisited, as some of the challenges to democracy Lyon faced, we confront in our time. In a real sense Lyon's opposition to the then President John Adams Sedition Acts of 1798 is a mirror of what we face today in places of power. We need to heed Lyon's letter to future citizens to take being a citizen seriously, 'to organize for good causes, ' 'to seek truth, ' and 'challenge lies, ' if we are to preserve and extend our freedom. If not, the words of George Santayana may well come true, 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.' This is a well written book without a dry word in it. --Jane M. Thibault, Retired Gerontologist Penning a letter to the present generation in what they imagine to be the words of their Irish ancestor, who rose to the level of statesman from the ranks of servanthood, the Morgans' write, 'Protect and defend your republic, whether from within or without. . . . The worse threats come from those who subvert the values we uphold.' I would highly recommend this book to any who seek to preserve the lessons of history, both for the betterment of themselves and the current generation, and those whose responsibility it will be to ensure the lives and liberties of all. --Daniel C. Potts, Founder and President Cognitive Dynamics Foundation As an American History major, I certainly remember reading about the 1798 Alien and Sedition Acts, but I don't recall reading about Matthew Lyon, the first American tried, fined, and imprisoned under these very acts for speaking out against the then President John Adams. Matthew Lyon's life was dedicated to securing these ideals for himself and for others, and in so doing, he became our country's first martyr for freedom of speech and the press. --Lynda Everman, Convener, Clergy Against Alzheimer's Network. Matthew Lyon is an oft overlooked personage who played an important role in the founding and shaping of the nation. Resist Tyranny, written by two of Lyon's descendants, is a brief but informative book that gives insight into this colorful character, whose spirit was filled with the proverbial Celtic fire.

What is truly personal is also truly universal. Where you touch the Holy, it reaches to touch you, and your life will be transformed. If enough of us begin with our own spiritual disciplines, a whole community may be transformed, or a neighborhood or city or nation. --from the Preface In the first daily devotional guide for Unitarian Universalists since the nineteenth-century Day Unto Day (American Unitarian Association), John Morgan has discerningly compiled a unique collection of 365 devotions on prayer, forgiveness, suffering, compassion, social justice, Unitarian Universalist heritage, and many other topics. Mirroring the pluralism in our congregations, the contributions to this book come from many roots--Christian, Buddhist, mystic, Jewish, pagan, humanist, and agnostic. In Awakening the Soul, John Morgan reflects on a year's worth of texts and stories and concepts that range broadly from the parables of Jesus through the writings of George de Benneville--teacher, physician, and lay minister--to the life of James Reeb, Unitarian martyr for civil rights. These reflections represent a lifetime of conscious struggle and conscious wonder and invite us to reflect on our own lives, our struggle, our wonder. My soul was awakened. --Reverend Frank Rivas, First Universalist Church, Minneapolis John Crossley Morgan graduated from Albright College, and earned an MA in philosophy from Oberlin College, an MDiv from Andover Newton Theological School in Boston, and a DMin from the Lutheran Theological Seminary in Philadelphia. Before entering the ministry, he directed both inner-city and rural programs for older adults and also was a working journalist. He has served congregations in Maine, Ohio, and Pennsylvania as well as a national denomination and two of its districts. He is retired, but writes a regular newspaper column while also working with community groups. He has published eight books, the most popular being the first daily devotional book for Unitarian Universalists since 1898. He is contributing editor of The Universalist Herald, the oldest, continuously published magazine for religious liberals. He is married and has a son and two daughters, and two grandchildren.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51030549790993,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51030554116369,"sku":"NIN9781498235860","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52125187375377,"sku":"NLS9781498235860","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53064854438161,"sku":"CIN1498235867VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1498235867.jpg?v=1751148504"},{"product_id":"little-wisdom-for-growing-up-second-and-expanded-edition-book-john-c-morgan-phd-9781532604843","title":"A Little Wisdom for Growing Up, Second and Expanded Edition","description":"A Little Wisdom for Growing Up is an ancient form of storytelling, of passing on wisdom between generations. In this delightful collection of fables from the natural world (in the style of Aesop's famous fables), the author seeks to pass on to his young son, Jonathan, what he has learned from life. Characters in these brief fables run the gamut---from skunks and fish, to trees and the human body. Each story has been carefully written to reflect the natural world in which children live, teaching them to be attentive to what is around them every day, but also to begin reflecting on what these mean. These stories are intended for children of all ages. Parents or teachers can use them to offer wisdom, whether at bedtime or before a nap, or whenever there is a need for a time out during the day. The stories may be read aloud first, before listeners offer their own morals and learnings from what they hear. Each story is told simply, in language children understand, but each fable illustrates a truth Morgan has gleaned from living. This 'quick read' embodies animal fables short enough for the youngest child's attention span on the one level, but  is] philosophical enough for the much older student and adult. . . . Every unit on fables and folklore should include this modern work. . . . I am grateful to have A Little Wisdom for Growing Up to add to a unit I teach on folk tales and fairy tales to second graders. --Blinda Baxter, Mapleton Elementary School, Ashland County, Ohio A Little Wisdom for Growing Up: From Father to Son by John C. Morgan is a book that I enthusiastically recommend. I read the book to my grandchildren and they also have given it their whole-hearted endorsement. This is a book that will aid parents, grandparents, teachers, and care-givers in their endeavor to teach children to be caring, thoughtful, and responsible. --Elena H., Associated Content producer and author, http: \/\/www.associatedcontent.com\/user\/108710\/elena_h.html John C. Morgan is a writer who also happens to teach college philosophy and ethics. He lives with his wife, son, three cats, and one dog--sources of support and learning for his stories. He has written many serious books before, but he believes he had the most fun writing this one. He thinks it just may be his best because it took him over sixty years to learn much at all and then to put what he had learned into so few words. The author holds two master's degrees and one doctorate in philosophy and ethics, but insists he learned mostly from staying awake and reflecting on life.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51034850165009,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51034853245201,"sku":"NIN9781532604843","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52477951148305,"sku":"NLS9781532604843","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/153260484X.jpg?v=1751022527"},{"product_id":"resisting-tyranny-book-john-c-morgan-phd-9781532644665","title":"Resisting Tyranny","description":"Resisting Tyranny is a new book about an American Revolutionary patriot, Matthew Lyon, a Congressman from Vermont, who was thrown into jail for criticizing then President John Adams under the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798.
