Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thrilling novel paints a grim picture of what the future may have in store for us. Advocate of the truth is a gripping novel set in today's society, marked by growing intolerance, populism, terrorism, the yearn for security and failing (political) leadership. A society in which technological developments seem endless, but where the privacy of the individual is undermined with no remorse. On a more personal level, it is a deeply moving story about friendship, love and the compassion Francis of Assisi stands for. This fast-paced literary thriller prompts you to reflect on wisdom from the past and ethics for the future, showing the intense struggle between good and evil that hits home in today's society. When Thomas, a former partner of a prestigious law firm, promises his best friend Sam to keep his groundbreaking Spider technology away from mankind, he has no clue what awaits him. A chilling scenario unfolds when Thomas is plunged into a web of corporate espionage, misleading information, the rising power of populism and murder. As he finds signs pointing to a high-level conspiracy, a mysterious and deadly virus sweeps across the earth. Politicians and unknown forces take advantage of the panic, hitting fear buttons worldwide. A pandemic is looming, and so is a dystopian future. Orwell's 1984 is getting closer every day. "If we aren't careful we will turn into a society in which all human consciousness ceases to exist. It will be much worse than Orwell's 1984." Suddenly Sam's Spider technology has life-saving potential, raising profound ethical questions: Do we allow fear and greed to overrule the natural bonds between people? Should the privacy of individuals be sacrificed to the illusion of safety? How do we prevent technology from casting a dark shadow over the future? And ultimately: is mankind nearing its expiration date? Thomas sets out to find the truth against a backdrop of misleading information, manipulation, deceit and intimidation. Nothing is what it seems. His tense search leads him to the medieval Italian city of Assisi, oppressive boardrooms, back alleys and dimly-lit churches in Rome, and a former monastery overlooking the Mediterranean in France. He is supported by his old college buddy Charles, a philosopher who has moved up the ranks of Dutch politics, and by Gianni, a quick-witted Italian lawyer in Rome. Meanwhile, he has two women vying for his heart: Sophia, a sensitive violinist who cared for his father in the final days of life, and Juliette, an alluring and intriguing Parisian he meets by chance in Tuscany.

Book excerpt: Father Andrew skillfully explains how human knowledge works, the relation between faith and reason, and how the Holy Spirit uses both to lead us to the truth. He discusses the vice that is at the root of all falsehood and the virtue that is necessary for acknowledging and living out the truth. Learn how to overcome harmful ignorance, develop a "positive hunger" for the truth, and why the role of Advocate is uniquely tied to the sacrament of Confirmation. The reflection questions that accompany each chapter encourage the reader to examine his or her own relation to the truth and to invoke the Holy Spirit for guidance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David E. McCraw recounts his experiences as the top newsroom lawyer for the New York Times during the most turbulent era for journalism in generations. In October 2016, when Donald Trump's lawyer demanded that The New York Times retract an article focused on two women that accused Trump of touching them inappropriately, David McCraw's scathing letter of refusal went viral and he became a hero of press freedom everywhere. But as you'll see in Truth in Our Times, for the top newsroom lawyer at the paper of record, it was just another day at the office. McCraw has worked at the Times since 2002, leading the paper's fight for freedom of information, defending it against libel suits, and providing legal counsel to the reporters breaking the biggest stories of the year. In short: if you've read a controversial story in the paper since the Bush administration, it went across his desk first. From Chelsea Manning's leaks to Trump's tax returns, McCraw is at the center of the paper's decisions about what news is fit to print. In Truth in Our Times, McCraw recounts the hard legal decisions behind the most impactful stories of the last decade with candor and style. The book is simultaneously a rare peek behind the curtain of the celebrated organization, a love letter to freedom of the press, and a decisive rebuttal of Trump's fake news slur through a series of hard cases. It is an absolute must-have for any dedicated reader of The New York Times.

By the time she was in her early twenties, Bassey was a spoken word artist and traveling with HBO's Def Poetry Jam, channeling her life into art. But beneath the façade of the confident performer, Bassey's mental health was in a precipitous decline, culminating in a breakdown that resulted in hospitalization and a diagnosis of Bipolar II. In I'm Telling the Truth, But I'm Lying, Bassey Ikpi breaks open our understanding of mental health by giving us intimate access to her own. Exploring shame, confusion, medication, and family in the process, Bassey looks at how mental health impacts every aspect of our lives—how we appear to others, and more importantly to ourselves—and challenges our preconception about what it means to be "normal." Viscerally raw and honest, the result is an exploration of the stories we tell ourselves to make sense of who we are—and the ways, as honest as we try to be, each of these stories can also be a lie.
