Authentic prayer begins when we realize that we do not know how to pray. But what do we do after this realization? Pure Faith is a hardcover devotional written to help people deepen their interior life so that they can encounter God on a daily basis. It contains prayers for every occasion, prayers before and after Mass and Confession, prayers to various saints, and a wealth of advice on how to develop a rich prayer life.

This illuminating history explores the complex relationship between mathematics, religious belief, and Victorian culture. Throughout history, application rather than abstraction has been the prominent driving force in mathematics. From the compass and sextant to partial differential equations, mathematical advances were spurred by the desire for better navigation tools, weaponry, and construction methods. But the religious upheaval in Victorian England and the fledgling United States opened the way for the rediscovery of pure mathematics, a tradition rooted in Ancient Greece. In Equations from God, Daniel J. Cohen captures the origins of the rebirth of abstract mathematics in the intellectual quest to rise above common existence and touch the mind of the deity. Using an array of published and private sources, Cohen shows how philosophers and mathematicians seized upon the beautiful simplicity inherent in mathematical laws to reconnect with the divine and traces the route by which the divinely inspired mathematics of the Victorian era begot later secular philosophies.

Faith isn't just believing. It's knowing.We don't have to be certain about everything in order to be certain in faith. Certainty of faith is certainty of and in God. It's saying, "I know God" even when I don't know the answer. It's replacing our search for answers with a search for the personal God who wants a relationship with us so he can progressively reveal himself to us. Certainty of faith is replacing the "what ifs" with the "who is."Perhaps you're not certain about God. You believe you hold the certainties yourself. You're invited to explore what God reveals about himself. It's a difficult shift to set your self aside and consider a true frame of reference outside of yourself. It can be difficult to yield control. It can be unsettling. However, if you're really invested in exploring what faith is, you're also interested in truth. Truth isn't something you find. He is a Person who reveals himself to you. Wherever you are in your faith journey, God wants to meet you in your "here" and take you closer. Open your mind. Open your heart. Seek, listen, and grow. Pure Faith is a journey you can take on your own, alongside a friend, or with a small study group. Pure Faith invites you to interact through reflection, journaling, discussion, and applying what you read. Pure Faith is more than what you believe. It's what you live out loud!Faith means being sure of the things we hope for and knowing that something is real even if we do not see it. (Hebrews 11:1)
