Although most natural law ethical theories recognize moral
absolutes, there is not much agreement even among natural law
theorists about how to identify them. The author argues that in
order to understand and determine the morality (or immorality) of a
human action, it must be considered in relation to the organized
system of human practices within which it is performed. In order to
depict this structure and to explain how it bears upon the analysis
of action, the author investigates a number of issues that have
attracted the attention of Thomistic and Aristotelian scholarship.
He examines the nature of practical reason, its relationship with
theoretical reason, the derivation of lower from higher ethical
principles, the incommensurability of human goods, the relationship
between will and intellect, and the principle of double effect.
Suicide is the nation's tenth leading cause of death, and in 2018
nearly 50,000 people in the US died by suicide, with thousands more
attempting to take their own lives. Countless others experience
suicidal ideation due to depression, anxiety, addiction, and more,
living for years in silent misery. The sad truth is that someone
you know may be suffering. With great compassion and clear,
actionable strategies, So Much to Live For shows you what to do,
what to say, and how to intervene if you suspect a friend or loved
one is considering suicide. You'll learn the signs and symptoms,
understand the causes, and build the courage to step up and speak
out. God heals wounds and repairs brokenness, and he often does it
using people like you. You can be instrumental in saving the life
of a suicidal person you know. This book shows you how.
"You Don't Have to be Poor" is a book that will address one of if
not the most important components of life for the individual and by
extension, the family. In addition, the same principles guiding an
individual or family will also benefit the leaders of our country
and other countries of the world. Everyone at one time or another
is faced with a decision to make that will influence either
adversely or positively his or her financial standing. Biblical
scriptures address the problems we encounter today related to
finances, and even address issues related to a country, which is
admonished not to borrow from another.

One week to a fitter, healthier you with the revolutionary Zone
diet plan. Find out what to eat, when to eat it, and how this is
better than any other high protein diet. The Zone books have sold
over 4 million worldwide. Dr Barry Sears is the author of The Zone,
the revolutionary, multi million copy selling diet plan based on
Nobel Prize-winning research. The Zone prescribes a diet designed
to maximise optimal metabolic function (that means BURN MORE
CALORIES) by eating more proteins and good fats, and few high
glycaemic-index (GI) carbohydrates. Thousands testify that it
works. The 7 Day Zone Diet is a perfect introduction to the Zone
style of eating and is the first ever 7 day low-carb diet plan. The
Zone is different from other low-carb diets in that it does not
encourage 'no carb' and always insists on proteins that are low in
saturated fat. Other 'high protein' diets lump all 'carbs' together
as 'bad' and let the dieter eat as much fat as they like. This
introductory Zone guide includes: - how to eat in the Zone - how to
shop in the Zone - 7 days worth of healthy, satisfying recipes
including quick and easy Zone breakfasts, lunches and dinners - the
Zone for vegetarians - eating out in the Zone
Maintaining physical and mental performance with a revolutionary
diet that helps prevent age-related diseases. Sears explains that
it is possible to reverse our 'biological' age (which is different
to our 'chronological' age) if we look at our hormones and our
diet. It is crucial to maintain the right balance of hormones in
our bodies - ageing is not necessarily about the decreasing of
certain hormones but rather how they effectively communicate with
each other to maintain equilibrium. The Zone is a revolutionary
diet plan which advocates a lower intake of carbohydrates which
convert to sugar creating a diabetic-like condition. If we eat more
protein and monosaturate fats we enter the Zone of optimum
metabolic function. This diet has been proven in preventing
age-related diseases: heart disease and diabetes (non-insulin
dependent diabetes largely occurs in older age). Sears explores the
activity of hormones as we age and gives a dietary plan (and
supplement advice) to maintain peak performance: * calorie
restriction without hunger or deprivation * insulin, cortisol,
seratonin and eicosanoids * oestrogen and the menopause *
testosterone as men and women age * DHEA, melatonin - are these
hormonal supplements merely hype? * your thyroid gland and how it
affects metabolism * exercise and the anti-ageing Zone lifestyle
