Why do liberals and conservatives differ so consistently on such varied issues? Why do people fight so bitterly over political and religious issues? Don't our shared human interests outweigh our differences? Tom Lovett looked for answers in the natural sciences, in the social sciences, and in the humanities. Over time, he linked key knowledge from those three sources into a theory of the art of living, a theory that honors our shared human interests.Select Quotations on the Art of Living (2024) outlines that theory and uses quotations from eminent authors to illustrate it. His earlier book, Creating Beautiful Lives (2020), presents details of the theory.In the proposed theory, we learn skills in the art of living and create beautiful lives by doing three things: Seeking the ancient ideals: beauty, truth, and goodness. Essential dictionary meanings of those three words can help us seek them.Seeking those ideals while engaging in our most basic behavior. Like other animals, we create living space, obtain food, eat, court, have sex, parent, groom, play, build, form social bonds, fight, flee, and sleep.Seeking those ideals through art, science, and religion. Unlike other animals, we can modify our behavior with artistic skill, with scientific knowledge, and with religious devotion and inspiration.Art can be a path toward beauty, science a path toward truth, and religion a path toward goodness. Each path can eventually lead toward all three.We become artistic by refining a skill sufficiently. We become scientific by evaluating a theory rigorously and finding it adequately reliable or false. We become religious by devoting ourselves thoroughly to an activity, idea, group, or interest, and/or by joining an organized religion.We can learn everyday forms and specialized forms of art, science, and religion. Everyday forms modify our basic behavior, and everyone can learn them. The specialized forms are fine art (painting, sculpture, writing, singing, music, dance, theater, and many more), social and natural science, and organized religion. Everyone can value those specialties and choose whether and how to participate in them.The proposed theory reconciles realism about our animal nature with idealism about our highest human potential. The art of living becomes our way of life, and the human species becomes one human family. We live in peace and harmony with one another, with other species, and with nature. We are at home on the earth and in the universe.

As a child growing up in Fargo, North Dakota in the 1950's, learning to fly was not even remotely on author Sherry Knight Rossiter's radar. In Flying Lessons: One Woman's Story, the author relates in a conversational style how she overcame personal fears, social barriers, and economic obstacles to become a professional airplane and helicopter flight instructor, an aviation ground school instructor, an U.S. Army helicopter pilot, and an aviation business owner. The author's primary goal is to entertain, but the book also educates and encourages readers, especially those who may have a secret desire to learn to fly.

When Bake Sterling left his hometown for college, he began to leave reality and responsibility behind. His promising life of an athlete of note took on all the characteristics of a self-indulgent, no good, hedonist. He was a drop-out, destined for a regular spot in a soup line, but the Lord had other ideas. He would become the most prominent hero in this tale of dystopian days, the time of chaos that followed America's surrender to an alliance of her most powerful enemies, the Global Peacekeepers or GP for short.Mysteriously, as a hitch-hiker the Bake who fled his past was introduced to his future by a young family of four. They were using their last gas in the tank to drive to a remote Camp of God for refuge. Once escorted inside, the transformation began, not just in Bake, but in the entire meaning of God's camp of refuge.With the main theme of "Rescuing love" flowing like a life giving stream throughout the novel, the reader will be introduced to a series of sub-plots, and a multitude of interesting characters. Each character, some inherently good and noble and others nefarious, creates twists and turns that will keep the pages turning and the emotions changing. Fluctuating between tears of laughter to tears of sorrow, and from anger to joy, from defeat to triumph, from mediocrity to excellence and splendor, the book demands we fasten the seat belt throughout our journey. Expect the unexpected as the reader previews the last days from a Camp of God perspective.It was God's providence that brought Bake together with the ordinary men and women within the Camp of God who would accomplish extraordinary feats. One example is Wendy, a dedicated young mother still in her twenties, who wonders why the Camp's Prayer Team always asks God for protection from the Global Peacekeeper enemies, but never threatens their power or attacks their stronghold.As Bake rises in the ranks of the Camp's security detail, he proposes the camp forms a team of righteous warriors (Hebrew "Gibor") patterned after Bible heroes like David, Gideon, Joshua, and others who were raised up by God to destroy Israel's enemies. Bake receives the leadership's support and goes to work.Bake's growing understanding of Jesus' rescuing love coupled with his remorse over his past neglect of his family become seeds for Rescue and Harassment Operations (RNH) on the Global Peacekeeper strongholds. Using Bruce, a key man remaining in the town that Bake once abandoned, bold attacks permanently crippled the GP's ability to control by fear. Saved were family and others who rejected the Global leader's mark of loyalty on the forehead and hand. This included Bake's family and his sister's friend, a young woman named Julie who would later become Bake's wife.Collectively, the attacks devastated the GP's ability to remain in the Camp Eirene area adding more security to the blessings of camp life. Rescuing love made the team aware that many Camps of God did not have this degree of security.Unwilling to rest on their laurels, Bake and his team were challenged to save another Camp of God that was being threatened with extinction. Travel was full of risks and options were few. Only the GP-approved were allowed to buy fuel and to be on the road.The book was set for an exciting conclusion. Miraculous events and clever ruses by Bake and company, achieved the impossible. From the north country to South Alabama, a company of twenty of all ages arrived at Camp of God Rejoice. Prayers were answered and spirits were lifted as a Gibor mentality was infused in the Camp's faithful who were expecting death and disaster.Camp Leader, Vince Riley, and Bake hit it off instantly. Vince confided in Bake his oath to rescue a hundred nearby prisoners. This conclusion to BAKE'S BRIGADE paves the way for a dramatic sequel.

The borders between dimensions had been quiet for almost a month. And I'd even managed to work my regular part-time gig at The Muddle, helping my best friend keep the human-type boogies at bay. But alas, the sanity was destined to end. And so was my naïve notion that working within my own dimension for a change was going to be familiar and easy. I'm such a putz.
