Follow Andrew Klavan to a deeper, richer understanding of the words of Jesus. Andrew Klavan believed what he read in the Gospels, but he often struggled to understand what Jesus really meant. So he began a journey of wrestling with the beautiful and often strange words of Jesus. He learned Greek in order to read the Gospels in their original languages, and he vowed to set aside any preconceptions about what the Scriptures say. But it wasn't until he began exploring how some of history's greatest writers wrestled with the same issues we confront today--political upheaval, rejection of social norms, growing disbelief in God--that he found a new way of understanding what Jesus meant. In The Truth and Beauty, Klavan combines a decades-long writing career with a lifetime of reading to discover a fresh understanding of the Gospels. By reading the words of Jesus through the life and work of writers such as William Wordsworth and John Keats, Mary Shelley and Samuel Taylor Coleridge--the English romantics--Klavan discovered a way to encounter Jesus in a deeper and more profound way than ever before. For readers seeking to find renewed meaning in the words of Jesus--and for those who are striving for belief in a materialistic world--The Truth and Beauty offers an intimate account of one man's struggle to understand the Gospels in all their strangeness, and so find his way to a life that is, as he says, "the most creative, the most joyful, and surely the most true."

There is one lie that is bigger than all the rest. Have you fallen for it? This lie is being told every day on television and radio programs, in books, magazines, and via the Internet, and the grand deception has even spread to churches across the country and around the world. Whether you fall for it or not will determine if you spend eternity in heaven or hell. In his book, The Greatest Lie, Dr. Michael Youssef urges readers to discover the truth and live forever. Jesus made it clear when He said, I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me (John 14:6). But, in today s media-driven world, talk-show hosts and false teachers mislead their audiences by telling them there are many paths to God.

“Part memoir, part investigative reporting . . . a richly layered and ultimately balanced account of the decades-long trend of sexual abuse at Horace Mann.” —Sarah Saffian, author of Ithaka In June 2012, Amos Kamil’s New York Times Magazine cover story, “Prep-School Predators,” caused a shock wave that is still rippling. In his piece, Kamil detailed a decades-long pattern of sexual abuse at the highly prestigious Horace Mann School in the Bronx. After the article appeared, Kamil closely observed the fallout. While the article revealed the misdeeds of three teachers, this was just the beginning: an extraordinary twenty-two former Horace Mann teachers and administrators have since been accused of abuse. In gripping detail, Kamil and his coauthor, Sean Elder, relate what happened as survivors of abuse came forward and sought redress. We see the school and its influential backers circle the wagons. We meet Horace Mann alumni who work to change New York State’s sexual abuse laws. We follow a celebrity lawyer’s contentious efforts to achieve a settlement. And we encounter a former teacher who candidly recalls his inappropriate relationships with students. Kamil and Elder also examine other institutions—from prep schools to the Catholic Church—that have sought to atone for their complicity in abuse and to prevent it from reoccurring. “Great is the truth and it prevails” may be the motto of Horace Mann, but for many alumni the truth remains all too hard to come by. This book is essential reading for anyone trying to understand how an elite institution can fail those in its charge, and what can be done about it.
