{ "item_title" : "Life", "item_author" : [" Joseph Mboya Okello "], "item_description" : "LIFE: Living and the Realities of Life - VOLUME II is the second volume of one complete work issued in a seven-volume series. The volumes are not separate books; together they form the print edition. The division preserves continuity while making the work suitable for reading and reflection. The eBook is the full digital edition, containing all fifteen Parts and 132 chapters.Volume II continues the movement established in Volume I. Beginning with life as gift, the self as interpreter, and the danger of false arrival, the work turns to the condition in which a person may be externally formed yet inwardly unformed.LIFE stands within Joseph Mboya Okello's wider LIFE UNDER TRUTH BEFORE GOD THEORY-a Christian philosophical-theological and structural-moral account of human life as received from God, carried under truth, searched by conscience, formed or deformed through desire, action, suffering, worship, and responsibility, and finally answerable before God.Volume II examines the distance between outward competence and inward formation. Education may sharpen the mind without producing wisdom. Professional success may build reputation without forming the person. Business growth may enlarge influence while desire remains disordered. Leadership may govern systems while the self remains ungoverned. Wealth, mobility, office, and public usefulness may create visible fullness while concealing anxiety, loneliness, fatigue, fear, moral numbness, family distance, spiritual poverty, and mortality.The volume therefore addresses the accomplished reader whose life appears outwardly formed: the educated person, professional, entrepreneur, investor, corporate leader, public official, office-holder, wealthy person, global traveller, and religious speaker. It asks whether outward formation has reached the hidden life, whether power has come under inner authority, whether wealth has become stewardship, whether professional identity has become vocation, whether public service has become justice, and whether religious speech has become surrender before God.Volume II does not despise education, work, capital, leadership, office, mobility, provision, or public duty. These may require discipline, intelligence, courage, sacrifice, and endurance. But none is final. Education is not wisdom. Professional standing is not formation. Wealth is not peace. Liquidity is not security. Mobility is not true location. Office is not moral legitimacy. Procedure is not justice. Leadership is not inner authority. Religious fluency is not surrender.Across Parts IV-VIII, Volume II follows a continuous inquiry: external formation and inner unformation; the hidden life beneath public formation; wounds, defences, shame, fear, dividedness, loneliness, and the cry for meaning; capital, wealth, ownership, risk, security, and outsourced wisdom; power, bureaucracy, procedure, political victory, presidency, protocol, legacy, and public service; and the unformed interior beneath visible fullness.Volume I opens with life as gift and the misreading of arrival. Volume II examines external formation and hidden inner unformation. Volume III exposes the protective systems of false arrival. Volume IV brings life before the tribunal of TRUE TRUTH. Volume V follows life re-formed before truth. Volume VI examines stewardship after false arrival. Volume VII brings the work to life before God and the final measure of being.This is not a motivational book, self-help manual, or casual reflection on meaning. It is the second movement of a sustained Christian philosophical-theological and structural-moral exposition of human life before God. It honours real achievement while denying that outward formation can become the final measure of the person.Volume II presses the governing question further: not merely, What have I built, gained, governed, or become before society? but, What has the hidden life become before truth and God?", "item_img_path" : "https://covers1.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/818/657/9798186572916_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "42.99", "online_price" : "42.99", "our_price" : "42.99", "club_price" : "42.99", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
