No Cross, No Crown
God has a vocation for every human being, and you find it through discernment. The author provides a synthesis of Western philosophy for young adults by looking at our humanity, which is both permanent and changing. Every man or woman is the same person, yet different with time. Philosophy requires Christians to reflect on culture and their faith (theology). How do reflective believers view marriage, family, and work? Describing the contemporary challenges to marriage and the family, the book points to spiritual discernment as the means to good life decisions-a concise text for students and their formators in parishes, high schools, and colleges.
