        A Kiss to Wake Me

        by Cheryl Eager

        A Kiss to Wake Me is a modern-day love story between Jamie and Cara. When the two first lock eyes in the high school cafeteria, “love at first sight” is no longer just a cliché to either of them.   Their romance takes off at record speed but just as quickly crashes into a wall of disbelief when a figurative bomb is dropped into their lives, upending the world as they knew it: Cara is pregnant, even though she believed she was a virgin. When these unforeseen circumstances threaten the couple’s future together, everything comes into question. Is Jamie the father of her baby? Will he still love her and the baby if he’s not? How did Cara even get pregnant? How could she possibly cope without him and his family, whom she has grown to love and depend on?   Will Jamie and Cara’s love endure the hardships thrust so harshly upon them? Fans of romantic first love and those who desire to see first love withstand seemingly insurmountable obstacles will enjoy this sweet yet intense novel.   ----------   Three days before high school graduation, 18-year-old Cara mysteriously delivers a premature baby boy at home in her bathroom. The novel begins with her frantic 911 call and flashes back to unfold the beautiful and romantic first-love story between Cara and Jamie, the new tall and handsome student from California. They are two clever, level-headed teens who strive to do the right things but make one big mistake leading to dire consequences. Faith and morality hang in the balance between choices made and the tiny miracle baby they’ve all grown to love. The couple’s hope of a happily-ever-after is further at stake as the ensuing police investigation uncovers secrets, lies, and, finally, the answers they have all been holding their breaths to receive to move forward.

      • The Changing Terrain of Religious Freedom

        The Changing Terrain of Religious Freedom

        by Edited by Heather J. Sharkey and Jeffrey Edward Green

        The Changing Terrain of Religious Freedom offers theoretical, historical, and legal perspectives on religious freedom, while examining its meaning as an experience, value, and right. The volume starts from the premise that the terrain of religious freedom has never been easy and smooth. Across societies and throughout history, defending or contesting principles of religious freedom has required compromise among multiple interests, balancing values, and wrangling with the law. Drawing on examples from the United States and around the world, and approaching the subject from the disciplines of history, law, sociology, philosophy, religious studies, and political science, the essays in this volume illustrate these challenges. They sketch the contours of contemporary debates while showing how the landscape of religious freedom has shifted over time. They consider various stakeholders that have asserted competing claims, among them individuals and groups; members of minority and majority communities; states and corporations (including both religious organizations and businesses); and believers and non-believers. Taken together, the studies in this volume suggest that understanding religious freedom means grappling with conflicting and perhaps irreconcilable claims about whose rights should prevail over others, what religion is or may be, and how religion should relate to other cultural values.

        On Consolation

        Finding Solace in Hard Times

        by Michael Ignatieff

        To console someone to be a source of meaning and understanding amidst the pain and loss of life is one of the hardest things a person can do. More and more it's being sought after, not in religious institutions, but through individuals and personal networks. Less and less it's being associated with political traditions, particularly those on the left that tell us to fight, to resist the status quo rather than to accept.   Michael Ignatieff explores how those of us who live in a secular world, without the comforting thought of an afterlife free from suffering, have found a modern form of consolation through the religious structures of the past. Using the history of the psalms from the Jewish and Christian traditions, Ignatieff revives these masterpieces to understand the power of their words, and their limits.   On Consolation is tragically relevant to our current age, but that is what makes it all the more necessary. Through this book, we learn what it means to find consolation to balance struggle with submission, acceptance of defeat with the lasting light of hope.

        by Túlio Mourão

        "When I seek the best of myself, I find music that lifts me above my fears and I also find understanding, convictions and hopes that support me over the depths of disbelief, indifference and intolerance." In addition to the piano, Túlio Mourão reveals mastery in literature by transforming trivial situations into good chronicles and printing the value of a historical document behind the scenes of Brazilian Popular Music.

        Our Search with Socrates for Moral Truth

        by Gary Michael Atkinson

        Many people believe that when it comes to moral questions, anyone's opinion is as good as anyone else's. Teachers of philosophy, by exposing students to the full panoply of moral theory, can reinforce this prejudice towards skepticism even when they intend to challenge it. Gary Michael Atkinson has taught introductory courses in philosophy for decades, and he has developed an effective approach to show that widespread skepticism based on the existence of persistent moral disagreement is mistaken. Our Search with Socrates for Moral Truth will appeal not only to students and teachers of philosophy but to any educated reader seeking to ascertain or defend the existence of moral truth.

        The Shadows Cast On History (Carittirattil paṭinta niḻalkal)

        A Most Astonishing Fantasy Ever Written in Tamil with Modern Political Tones

        This is the unbelievable history of a Queen of an imaginary country who has the ability to see the world and things closing her eyes while her husband the Raja looks green in colour, capable of giving birth to children.

His brother, whose name is Light on the Mountain, plays the dual role of the persecutor and the persecuted in an underground movement, the members of which abducted him during when he was a child. This novel of belief and disbelief structured into one whole aims to evoke an aesthetic pleasure of a children's literature and at the same time a Folk narration of surrealistic tone of fun and wonder.

        Simply Darwin

        by Michael Ruse

        Simply Darwin tells the story of Charles Robert Darwin (1809–1882) and his theory of evolution through natural selection. On one level, it is the story of a dedicated scientist who, through careful observation and brilliant insight, became convinced that organisms are the end product of a long, slow, natural process of development. On another level, it’s an account of the end of an era and a cataclysmic change in our ideas about ourselves—a conceptual upheaval the aftershocks of which continue to this day.   In Simply Darwin, author Michael Ruse puts Darwin and his ideas in context, clearly showing that, while Darwin was a great revolutionary, he was no rebel. His ideas came directly out of his background and training, and he was simply following an evidentiary trail that led to an inevitable conclusion. Eventually, as Darwin and his fellow scientists began to apply his ideas to our own species, long-held notions about the nature and origins of religion, morality, race, sexuality and much more were called into question. Then, as now, some embraced these provocative ideas, while others reacted with horror and disbelief.   In recounting this fascinating and inspiring history, Ruse doesn’t neglect the visual component that has always been an inherent part of evolutionary thought, and Simply Darwin’s copious illustrations provide an informative and captivating counterpoint to one of the greatest stories ever told.

Their quest to solve the riddle over the summer holidays leads to a boat buried under a grassy mound – and a tunnel that takes them to a secret lake.

      • John Henry Newman on Truth and its Counterfeits
        February 2020

        John Henry Newman on Truth and its Counterfeits

        A Guide for Our Times

        by Reinhard Hutter

        Reinhard Hütter’s main thesis in this third volume of the Sacra Doctrina series is that John Henry Newman, in his own context of the nineteenth century, a century far from being a foreign one to our own, faced the same challenges as we do today; the problems then and now differ in degree, not in kind. Hence, Newman's engagement with these problems offers us a prescient and indeed prophetic diagnosis of what these problems or errors, if not corrected, will lead to—consequences which have more or less come to pass—and, furthermore, an alternative way which is at once thoroughly Catholic and holds contemporary relevance. The introduction offers a survey of Newman’s life and works and each of the subsequent four chapters addresses one significant aspect of Christianity that is not only contested or rejected by secular unbelief, but also has a counterfeit for which not only Christians, but even Catholics have fallen. The counterfeit of conscience is the “conscience” of the sovereign subject (Ch. 1); the counterfeit of faith is the “faith” of one who does not submit to the living authority through which God communicates but rather adheres to the principle of private judgment in matters of revealed religion(Ch.2); the counterfeit of doctrinal development is twofold: (i) paying lip service to development while only selectively accepting its consequences on the grounds of a specious antiquarianism and (ii) invoking development theory to justify all sorts of contemporary changes according to the present Zeitgeist (Ch. 3). Finally, the counterfeit of the university are all those “universities” whose end is not to educate and thereby to perfect the intellect, but rather to feed more efficiently the empire of desire that is informed by the techno-consumerism of today (Ch. 4). The book concludes with an epilogue on Hütter’s journey to Catholicism.

Symbols are the signs that reveal and perpetuate the unlimited universe in our world and in our common life. They reveal meanings beyond those obvious to the senses and to our rational sphere. They exist before we can imagine or think about them: like genes and DNA on the physical plane, symbols pre-exist us, they carry with them the original instructions of life. They exist in nature and we have then encoded them to express in perceptible and comprehensible forms the essential forces that structure existence since the beginning. They are a synthetic map of the motions of what we call energy.The Power of Symbols is a deck of 41 Oracles with guide book.
