I have found that as I get deeper into the spiritual world, life gets more exciting, and there is no end as to where I can go. An inspirational look at the power of self, Be, Do, Have takes readers on a spiritual journey right alongside author Norman Cantor. Unhappy with his life, Cantor embarks on a twenty-five-year journey that ultimately helps him realize what was missing from his life. As he slowly awakens from his depressive state, Cantor comes to learn that each person is an infinitely spiritual person with absolutely no limitations. So many people believe that all they need to fill the emptiness within themselves is the perfect job or perfect partner, but only once these illusions are released can true healing begin. Be, Do, Haveshares the lessons that Cantor has learned as he explains how, withstrong desire, a powerful belief system, and an ability to visualize what it will look like when we have it, anyone is capable of being, doing, or having anything. This motivational autobiography guides readers through practices that encourage spiritual growth, teaching exactly how to take charge of one's life and become the best that one can be.

The Middle Ages, in our cultural imagination, are besieged with ideas of wars, tournaments, plagues, saints and kings, knights, lords and ladies. In his era-defining work, Inventing the Middle Ages, Norman Cantor shows that these presuppositions are in fact constructs of the twentieth century. Through close study of the lives and works of twenty of the twentieth century¿s most prominent medievalists, Cantor examines how the genesis of this fantasy arose in the scholars¿ spiritual and emotional outlooks, which influenced their portrayals of the Middle Ages. In the course of this vigorous scrutiny of their scholarship, he navigates the strong personalities and creative minds involved with deft skill.Written with both students and the general public in mind, Inventing the Middle Ages provided an alternative framework for the teaching of the humanities. Revealing the interconnection between medieval civilisation, the culture of the twentieth century and our own assumptions, Cantor provides a unique standpoint both forwards and backwards. As lively and engaging today as when it was first published in 1991, his analysis offers readers the core essentials of the subject in an entertaining and humorous fashion.
