Description:

Bonfire of the Verities - Coming Soon!!

by Roderic Hewlett

In an era marked by uncertainty, fragmentation, and superficial metrics,
Bonfire of the Verities provides a meaningful and timely revival of
decision-making as a sacred act. Rooted in the Franciscan tradition
and guided by the enduring wisdom of theology, this book transcends
narrow concepts of utility and control to redefine choice as a moral
and spiritual practice that carries significant consequences and has the
potential to shape a fairer and more joyful world.

Drawing from Scripture, classical philosophy, and modern discernment
tools, this text merges theological reflection with Franciscan wisdom,
expanding traditional decision-making models into a broader framework
of human, intellectual, and spiritual capital. Each chapter guides readers
through the complexities of choice as expressions of our evolving selves.
Central to this work are four dignities: the dignity of the human person, the
dignity of the natural world, the dignity of space and environment, and the
dignity of free will and conscience. These dignities must be honored and
nurtured in every decision made by individuals and societies.

With a reflective voice, Bonfire of the Verities challenges false
certainties such as the pursuit of efficiency and the commercialization
of the human spirit, while offering clarity and a renewed commitment
to sustainable living. For Franciscans, Catholics, and anyone seeking
deeper moral understanding, this book serves as a guide, urging us to
view decisions as formative journeys that echo through eternity.
