Does God speak to the common man?

Is His voice heard among the populace of the pews, and can a common man speak from the pews? Realizing that not everyone holds a doctorate or serves as a professional church leader, A Voice from the Pews attempts to share insights and devotionals from the life and experiences of just such a common man. Using word pictures, Scripture references, and life experiences, Mr. Sheldon hopes his book will encourage you through a variety of circumstances.

Kegan was a police K-9 who delivered life lessons better than he delivered at work. This book was written not just to remember a terrific partner but to share his story with everyone. Love is a word that is used too many times without understanding just how deep and meaningful it really can be. He was a dog, but he was so much more than that. He lived to be happy and that happiness was infectious. He took a hard-nosed former U.S. Marine and current police officer and turned him into a sentimental, loving and happy man. Life lessons come from some of the strangest places and no one ever saw this lesson coming. A story of excitement, love and rememberance of an amazing friend, partner and dog.

Being human while trying to scientifically study human nature confronts us with our most vexing problem. Efforts to explicate the human mind are thwarted by our cultural biases and entrenched infirmities; our first-person experiences as practical agents convince us that we have capacities beyond the reach of scientific explanation. What we need to move forward in our understanding of human agency, Paul Sheldon Davies argues, is a reform in the way we study ourselves and a long overdue break with traditional humanist thinking. Davies locates a model for change in the rhetorical strategies employed by Charles Darwin in On the Origin of Species. Darwin worked hard to anticipate and diminish the anxieties and biases that his radically historical view of life was bound to provoke. Likewise, Davies draws from the history of science and contemporary psychology and neuroscience to build a framework for the study of human agency that identifies and diminishes outdated and limiting biases. The result is a heady, philosophically wide-ranging argument in favor of recognizing that humans are, like everything else, subjects of the natural world - an acknowledgement that may free us to see the world the way it actually is.
