Join the author on a journey into the development of wisdom, and the path of that legacy through generations, as seen through the lens of a profound relationship between a grandmother and granddaughter. Practical scientific research and multi-generational family stories come together to offer a complex look at what the word "wisdom" truly represents, how individuals develop it, and how we pass it on. The world's greatest thinkers and the world's greatest grandmas are on the same page when it comes to the impact of applied wisdom in our lives. Those two worlds now come together in Legacy of Wisdom.

The purpose of A Legacy of Wisdom is to enrich the lives of Christian women by enabling them to gain spiritual wisdom and encouragement from the examples of biblical women who touched the lives of the great biblical men of God as well as the Lord Jesus Christ. The Christian women featured in this book are excellent examples of faith and character. As partners to men like Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Samuel, King David, King Solomon, the Apostle Paul, and our great Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, they were real women who left a legacy of faith. They showed us how the presence of God guided their everyday lives. Understanding the partnership each of these women had with God and with the great men featured in this guidebook will enhance your everyday life as you deal with decision-making, joy, sorrow, your personal walk with God, and everyday family life. Through the lives of these women, God provided us with valuable examples of good and bad decisions that produced good and bad consequences. Using A Legacy of Wisdom as a guide, women can learn from the examples set by these inspiring women and apply those lessons learned to develop a stronger relationship with Jesus Christ and live righteously.

We search for spiritual grounding. We seek wisdom to create meaning in our lives, to nurture our souls, and to guide us to the wholeness, power, and potential of who we are as sacred people. In our quest many paths open before us. For those of us with Irish ancestry we often long for the resonance of a wisdom tradition that is uniquely and authentically ours. This book is an exploration of that wisdom tradition.

Legacy of Wisdom: Great Thinkers and Journalism introduces the reader to the ideas of more than 30 great philosophers, writers, and intellectuals - from Confucius and Plato, to Machiavelli and Kant, to Simone de Beauvoir and Sissela Bok - and the ways their ethical systems apply to journalism and journalists today. Author John C. Merrill provides brief sketches of each thinker as "intellectual springboards" for journalists and journalism students seeking motivation and ethical guidance in their professional lives.

A beloved author and storyteller shows how ordinary people can preserve and pass on their wisdom, values, and spiritual legacy to loved ones.

A myth-shattering view of the Islamic world's myriad scientific innovations and the role they played in sparking the European Renaissance. Many of the innovations that we think of as hallmarks of Western science had their roots in the Arab world of the middle ages, a period when much of Western Christendom lay in intellectual darkness. Jim al- Khalili, a leading British-Iraqi physicist, resurrects this lost chapter of history, and given current East-West tensions, his book could not be timelier. With transporting detail, al-Khalili places readers in the hothouses of the Arabic Enlightenment, shows how they led to Europe's cultural awakening, and poses the question: Why did the Islamic world enter its own dark age after such a dazzling flowering?
