Book Description
Search for the Authentic is an enticing life story about the search for authenticity in self, and for the source of the authentic in life. It is a riveting telling of meaningful and powerful life experiences leading to the wonderful conclusion of that search; leading to, and finding that pearl of great value. It leads the reader on a trail through deep and dark caverns, to great heights and vistas of discovery, to meaningful grounding in truth, and unexpected joy. The journey, sometimes humorous, but always playfully serious, travels the road of adventure and thrilling tales of drama that few will have experienced in their own search for authentic. From South American travels, working undercover as a DEA special agent; to two tours of duty in Burma, the enchanted land; to tumultuous episodes in Haiti, bringing designated drug kingpins to justice; finally resulting in the demise of a corrupt president. How this all leads to the precious discovery of the authentic will be discovered herein.

Book Description
With a particular emphasis on the soul, this book explores Edith Stein's holistic conception of the human being's body-soul-spirit unity, which forms the foundation of her Christian anthropology and her view of human formation. Characterized by an unremitting attention to interconnections, Stein emerges as a forerunner of contemporary holistic approaches. Edith Stein and the Body-Soul-Spirit at the Center of Holistic Formation demonstrates the breadth and relevance of Stein's work by engaging her thought with the anthropological views of fellow phenomenologist John Paul II, Wilkie Au's perspectives on holistic spirituality and formation, and several nonreductionist, neuroscientific viewpoints of the human being. This book also makes available to the English reader a significant amount of material from Stein's untranslated works. Anyone interested in theological anthropology, holistic spirituality, human formation, the body-mind question, or Edith Stein studies will benefit from the wealth of material presented in this single book.
