Patience Worth, a disembodied spirit, was God's handmaid here on earth. She brought spiritual healing to the hearts of all her brothers and sisters who harkened to her words. Through her conversations, prose, and poetry, she gave the world many words with which to feast on and grow spiritually. But her words are not easy to chew and digest; they are not easily assimilated by our fast-food mentality. As a result, not many of us take the time to read them. For the few of us who do, her words stir within our hearts a love of, and for, God. This book presents a selection of writings by Patience Worth in the format of brief passages. The passages were culled from previously published and unpublished material. Each passage presents a particular theme in clearer than usual language (yet, still her own). In other words, the book presents Worth in manageable, understandable chunks. Each passage, as a point of meditation, provides a gateway to self-transformation.

Nietzsche wrote The Gay Science, which he later described as 'perhaps my most personal book', when he was at the height of his intellectual powers, and the reader will find in it an extensive and sophisticated treatment of the philosophical themes and views which were most central to Nietzsche's own thought and which have been most influential on later thinkers. These include the death of God, the problem of nihilism, the role of truth, falsity and the will-to-truth in human life, the doctrine of the eternal recurrence, and the question of the proper attitude to adopt toward human suffering and toward human achievement. This volume presents the work in a new translation by Josefine Nauckhoff, with an introduction by Bernard Williams that elucidates the work's main themes and discusses their continuing philosophical importance.
