Reverence is an ancient virtue that survives among us in half-forgotten patterns of civility and moments of inarticulate awe. Reverence gives meaning to much that we do, yet the word has almost passed out of our vocabulary.

Reverence, says philosopher and classicist Paul Woodruff, begins in an understanding of human limitations. From this grows the capacity to be in awe of whatever we believe lies outside our control -- God, truth, justice, nature, even death. It is a quality of character that is especially important in leadership and in teaching, although it figures in virtually every human relationship. It transcends religious boundaries and can be found outside religion altogether.

Woodruff draws on thinking about this lost virtue in ancient Greek and Chinese traditions and applies lessons from these highly reverent cultures to today's world. The book covers reverence in a variety of contexts -- the arts, leadership, teaching, warfare, and the home -- and shows how essential a quality it is to a well-functioning society.

First published by Oxford University Press in 2001, this new edition of Reverence is revised and expanded. It contains a foreword by Betty Sue Flowers, Distinguished Teaching Professor Emeritus at the University of Texas at Austin, a new preface, two new chapters -- one on the sacred and one on compassion -- and an epilogue focused on renewing reverence in our own lives.

The Pure Encapsulations Magnesium Citrate is a very good product. I am a senior woman and is struggling with low bone minerals and strength. I found this product to be very good for my bone health, helping to strengthen the bone and bone density as well it helps with blood pressure stability, and can help with maintaining heart health, and it works well as a supplement for constipation and other digestive issues.

Great Supplements. Good prices. Made in the USA
Size: 90 Count (Pack of 1)
I love this company for all my supplement needs. My only complaint about the magnesium supplement is that the capsules are pretty large. If you have a problem swallowing pills/capsules you may have a bit of trouble swallowing these. However, I’ve never had magnesium that was easy to swallow. Most of Pure Supplements are small and very easy to swallow. The magnesium is the exception. All magnesium pills are large.
