Most ethical categories are based upon philosophical concepts rather than scientific laws. The truth can be known with theanthropic ethics, which understands theology as a scientific discipline. By using this approach, author Brian Keen, president of the Ethics Institute, describes a method for applying professional ethical standards using scientific methodologies. Individuals can use this approach to become successful, and businesses can apply these concepts in preparation of achieving a Certified Ethical Enterprise status. Keen considers what the nature of the universe's creator, the Bible, and competing religious ideas mean for humanity and individuals, exploring along the way what thinkers such as Martin Luther, John Calvin and others said about the nature of God. Other topics include the life of Jesus, the study of ethereal beings, anthropology, the study of sickness, and more. Determine the difference between truths and lies and answer any ethical dilemma with a detailed study of religion. Start achieving your goals with "Power Living Through Science."

The Truth can be known with Theanthropic Ethics, which is one of the few scientific ethical categories.

Dr. Brian Keen has researched numerous ethical categories, and has found only Theanthropic Ethics understands that there is one universally applicable Truth. The Truth has practical application in every enterprise, business, or profession.

Any business, enterprise, or profession operating in an ethical manner will have the necessary "POWER" to succeed. Accounting is featured since accountants as professionals must utilize scientific methodologies.

Businesses and enterprises require "POWER Living People" to employ, since ethical employees are an asset in Truth. Many entrepreneurs are "POWER Living People."

Dr. Keen proves through conclusions from objective data that the Truth has relevance for today. Ethical dilemmas can be resolved through adherence to the Truth. For example, would you allow a cashier to accept two $5 bills for a product costing $45, and give a $10 bill for change? Would adherence to a philosophy that 5 + 5 = 55 be sufficient?

Dr. Keen knows the Truth that 5 + 5 = 10 when the same types are added. Living the Truth is ethical when utilizing this scientifically-verifiable ethical category, which is confirmed in Theanthropic Ethics.

"The tone and building dread reminds me of classic Stephen King. Great velocity and impact, and super creepy. Don't go in the basement "
-- Stewart O'Nan, New York Times bestselling author of The Night Country and A Prayer for the Dying

When Henry was a child, something terrible happened in the woods behind his home, something so shocking he could only express his terror by drawing pictures of what he had witnessed. Eventually, Henry's mind blocked out the bad memories, but he continued to draw, often at night by the light of the moon.

Twenty years later, Henry makes his living by painting his disturbing works of art. He loves his wife and his son, and life couldn't be better... except there's something not quite right about the old stone farmhouse his family now calls home. There's something strange living in the cramped cellar, in the maze of pipes that feed the ancient steam boiler.

A winter storm is brewing, and soon Henry will learn the true nature of the monster waiting for him down in the darkness. He will battle this demon and, in the process, he may discover what really happened when he was a child -- and why, in times of trouble, he thinks: I paint against the darkness.

But will Henry learn the truth in time to avoid the terrible fate awaiting him... or will the thing in the cellar get him and his family first?

Written as both a meditation on the art of creation and as an examination of the secret fears we all share, The Painted Darkness is a terrifying look at the true cost we pay when we run from our grief -- and what happens when we're finally forced to confront the monsters we know all too well.

"Wonderfully reminiscent of the quiet horror of Charles L. Grant, The Painted Darkness takes readers on a gently chilly walk through the forest of fears both conscious and subconscious.

A very impressive achievement."
