Christ's contemporaries ascribed to Him many names and titles, and each represents a ray of light that brings us to a clearer understanding of our Savior. He was called Nazarene, Shepherd, Physician, Son of God, Christ, Lord, and Rabbi. All told, Jesus was given twenty-four names in St. Matthew's Gospel -- and each holds a key to unlocking the mysteries of Christ's life. If you're looking for a completely new access point for coming to know and love Jesus, this book is for you. In pondering the Gospel of Matthew, Eric Sammons rediscovers the beauty and wonders of Scripture and helps you grow in intimacy with your Redeemer. Through the lens of the saints, the prophets who prefigured Christ, and Church teachings, Sammons examines the twenty-four names to help you see the composite Christ in an entirely new way. In chapter after chapter, you will learn how Christ's titles provide valuable lessons for you in daily living, including: * Carpenter's Son: How Christ's humanity unveils the extraordinary in mankind * Rabbi: What this title teaches about temptation and the means to conquer it * Ghost: How Jesus is the healing balm for anxieties that paralyze you * Shepherd: The two essential ways to preserve Church unity * Emmanuel: Three ways to know God and imitate His Love -- especially in the Holy Eucharist * Son of Abraham: Incarnational faith -- how God comes to us so that we may rise with Him Perfect for Lectio Divina, each chapter helps you meditate on Christ's many titles through the perspective of His life and times, their theological and moral significance, and their impact on your life today. Above all, you will learn the authentic path to holiness and the secret to loving the Divine Bridegroom as He desires to be loved.
In its early days, bitcoin was known as the currency of drug dealers and criminals of all stripes. Anarchists promoted it as a means to overthrow the government. In these illuminating pages, however, Crisis Magazine editor and author Eric Sammons asserts that bitcoin is the most moral money ever created and that it outshines our current economic system, which empowers the corrupt and corrupts the powerful. The money system we use now, Sammons explains, is one that is deeply immoral. But because most people assume that our money is just a fixed part of our economic background, the morality of our modern form of money has rarely been challenged--until now. In his trademark straightforward, accessible style, Sammons leaves no stone unturned in unpacking how our current form of money developed, and he offers a deep-dive look at why our government-issued money--also known as "fiat money"--is actually a in the history of money. He logically demonstrates that bitcoin is the next step in money, one that overcomes the deficiencies inherent in fiat money. He reveals: Eight principles to consider when evaluating the morality of forms of money Seven properties necessary for something to be considered good money The inherent spiritual dangers and grave injustice behind fiat money How rising inflation and massive debt creates financial nihilism among the young How bitcoin is an advancement beyond both fiat money and gold Why bitcoin is unique among all cryptocurrencies Sammons further lays out what bitcoin is, how it is designed and operates, and how to safely purchase and hold it, incisively arguing that it is the most efficacious form of money while quelling numerous misconceptions. He demonstrates that, unlike government-controlled money, bitcoin gives people true financial freedom, even in economically troubled times or under oppressive and totalitarian governments. In a time when more and more people are drowning in a sea of high inflation and debt and suffering under restrictions on their freedom, bitcoin provides a bright ray of hope for the future, both for individuals and for nations.
