Book Description
Humanity has fallen into a canyon far away from God, and many of us don't know why we are here or what we are supposed to be doing. It's important to recognize that in order to find happiness, man must learn how to avoid being an instrument of his own destruction. He must control his desires, thoughts, ego, and selfishness. He must also learn how to embrace others. In this guidebook, you'll find the answers to important and fundamental questions that everyone asks, including: What do you do when you feel stagnant but really want to progress? Is there anything you should be doing more of or should know? How do you know if you are on the right track? How do you pull yourself out of a downward spiral? How do you know if you have the free will, and how do you harness it? Equip yourself with the tools to break free from a stagnant lifestyle and start accomplishing your goals.While temptations abound, it's possible to muster up the willpower to make the right decisions, find the tree of knowledge and eat of its fruit in this lifetime. It begins with Gift of Freewill(R).

Book Description
The question of whether humans are free to make their own decisions has long been debated and it continues to be a controversial topic today. In Free Will: The Basics readers are provided with a clear and accessible introduction to this central but challenging philosophical problem. The questions which are discussed include: Does free will exist? Or is it illusory? Can we be free even if everything is determined by a chain of causes? If our actions are not determined, does this mean they are just random or a matter of luck? In order to have the kind of freedom required for moral responsibility, must we have alternatives? What can recent developments in science tell us about the existence of free will? Because these questions are discussed without prejudicing one view over others and all technical terminology is clearly explained, this book is an ideal introduction to free will for the uninitiated.

Book Description
The question whether human choices and actions are causally determined or are in a way free, and the implications of this for our moral, personal and social lives continues to challenge philosophers. This book explores the determinist rejection of free will through a detailed exposition of the central determinist argument and a consideration of the responses to each of its premises. At every stage familiar examples and case studies help frame and ground the argument. The discussion is at no time peremptory and the invitation to the reader to be drawn in and to contribute to the debate as an engaged participant is palpable in the manner and approach adopted throughout. "Free Will" will be welcomed by students looking for an engaging and clear introduction to the subject, and as a rigorous exercise in philosophical argument it will serve, for the beginning student new to philosophy, as an excellent springboard into the subject more generally.

Book Description
A compelling essay on free will from an internationally recognized authority on atheism, and author of God: The Most Unpleasant Character in All Fiction. Do we have free will? And if we don’t, why do we feel as if we do? In a godless universe governed by impersonal laws of cause and effect, are you responsible for your actions? Former evangelical minister Dan Barker (God: The Most Unpleasant Character in All Fiction) unveils a novel solution to the question that has baffled scientists and philosophers for millennia. He outlines the concept of what he calls “harmonic free will,” a two-dimensional perspective that pivots the paradox on its axis to show that there is no single answer—both sides are right. Free will is a useful illusion: not a scientific, but a social truth.
