Wandering Wounds is an expression of feelings and / or experiences
of life's turbulent journey. Pain, anger, and grief mixed with hope
are forefront through childhood to adulthood. The poems'
presentations differ in styles and formats and many use allegories
and / or metaphor to deliver their message. Opening pieces,
universal in nature, relate to effects on life, moving through
depression, the battle against evil and life's frustrations. The
focus then turns to specific causal areas of life's trials and
sorrows, such as illness and recovery, physical and sexual abuse of
children and adults, and drug and alcohol addiction. Poems will
traverse the wondrous mountain peaks and the deepest and darkest
gullies of love. Much of the writing contains a morphing quality,
as life's circumstances change you will find poems revealing new
meaning. James L. Finley's first book Wandering Wounds shines a
light upon the hope that resides on the outskirts of "Happiness
Falls."
James Finley recognizes the depth and range of today's spiritual
yearning and refuses to settle for anything but its most profound
possibilities. He opens our everyday living to the contemplative
traditions, practices, and teaching that have been traditionally
the preserve of the monk, and he does so without diluting them. The
Contemplative Heart, enables readers to realize that wherever we
live, whatever we do, the richest possibilities of a contemplative
life are within our reach-that they are in fact what we have been
searching for all along.

"Christian Meditation" introduces an ancient practice to a
contemporary audience. James Finley, a former monk and student of
Thomas Merton, presents the fundamentals of both understanding and
practicing Christian meditation. He provides simple, helpful
instructions, as well as explaining the deeper connection with the
divine that meditation can bring. Above all, he makes clear that
the aim of meditation is to allow us to experience divine
contemplation -- the presence of God.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of
Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical
understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking.
Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel
Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and
moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade.
The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and
Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a
debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below
