    In her poem “The Lost Courage,” Tanya Marie Breaud exhibits the style and emotive voice that weaves its poignant way through Words of Expression, her first published collection of verse.

     

    “Hear me when I cry at night,

    be Mother’s arms that hold me tight.

    Come to me when no one else is around. . .

    Listen to the words that I speak,

    give me courage when I’m scared and weak.”

    The New Tower of Babel

    Price range: $3.99 through $11.99

    Do we really believe in God? What difference does it make if God exists or does not exist? Are we better off with God or without God? Are we made in God’s image or is it God who is made in our image? Is God our creator or are we the creators of God the way we create other gods? Does God tell us from on high what to do or do we go on building higher and higher towers and defy the God of heavens? Does God have rights? Do we have rights? Are these and those rights the same, different, or incompatible?

    Obviously, it is not easy to fi nd adequate answers to such fundamental and life or death questions. In this book, philosopher Jean Maalouf helps us to find our way around. With “[his] gift for writing about the most sublime truths in the most simple language,” as his style was once described, he masterly walks us through the eras of Enlightenment, modernism, post-modernism, existentialism, and the deconstruction and cancel culture projections. With clarity, lucidity, and boldness, he explains how we are building the new tower of Babel, what the meaning of it is, and what the next step in our human journey could be.
