On the surface Liz Petrone looks as if she has it all: a family, a budding writing career, a successful marriage. But, like so many women, she is desperately lonely. She's also dealing with the life and death of her alcoholic mother and the ghosts of her own suicidal past. The Price of Admission takes us on a journey with Liz from loss into renewed life. Raw, unflinchingly honest, and surprisingly funny, Liz writes from a universally understood place of struggle, whether that is the deep darkness of grief or the hazy, yet joyful, dimness of demanding everyday lives spent caring for ourselves and our families. Through a combination of personal narrative and common truths, Liz provides a timeless reminder to world-weary readers that, just as birth follows death, light does indeed follow darkness; and that, often, it is because of our pain--and not despite it--that we grow, survive, and--yes--thrive.

"One Of The Whosoevers" tells the story of a young man growing up in the hills of Kentucky, who from a very young age had only dreams and aspirations of being a minister of the Gospel. He went from these humble beginnings with this one desire in his heart, and has gone forth with God to become an honored leader in the nation.

Each sermon in this collection is a testament of Dr. McCutchen's faith, devotion and journey with the Lord, and is an inspiration to all.

The autobiographical novel "O Love How Deep" by Diana Maryon contains striking insights into relations between the sexes, Christian spirituality, and mastering disappointment. I hope that I shall see it in print in some form in due course. J.I. Packer, Author and Theologian

"I knew from the first 100 pages that I was going to be enthralled with this story, and so I was, right to the end. I literally couldn't put it down. Of course, it doesn't seem like the end because I still want to know more about Hope.

The loving portraits of the author s two children were the highlight for me. Why that is so, I don't know. Perhaps the honesty about motherhood.

It is a fine adult-Christian book and should enjoy a wide readership." Mary Razzell, Author

After twenty-six-year-old Australian David Carpenter, a psychiatrist and neurological researcher himself, had a breakdown in his first year at Cambridge, his therapist told him, Go into the Anglican Chaplaincy, investigate Christianity, and have a love-affair with a nice Christian girl. He did precisely that.

Diana was only twenty. They grew so close that when, after four years, she married someone else, he returned home devastated. They did not meet again for eight years. He realised then that he still loved her, and she him. He asked her to break her marriage for him. Instead, she sent him away indefinitely.

In her last letter she begged him to give her up. She said that Oxford had rejected her dissertation. She was thirty-three, with her academic career now shattered.

This is the poignant true story of three hyper-intelligent, cosmopolitan, and highly-educated people fighting their way through to genuine faith, hope and love in the modern world.

As I turned the pages of this book, I began to view my own life a bit differently with regard to happenstance.

The complete and unedited edition of Thomas Merton's famous autobiography, one of the greatest works of spiritual pilgrimage ever written. 'The Seven Storey Mountain is a book one reads with a pencil so as to make it one's own.' Graham Greene 'A remarkable book, a classic of its kind, written in a vivid, rich and alert style which ranges from crisp vernacular to passionate eloquence, full of picturesque incident and passing at times into religious ecstasy.' The Times Literary Supplement 'A book which may well prove to be of permanent interest in the history of religious experience.' Evelyn Waugh

Son of a Preacher Man is a deeply personal and profound exploration of faith and self-realisation. Never experiencing God through the Anglican Church, Matthew Gregorowski embarks on a journey that is as much about understanding his father's calling as it is about discovering one's own path to purpose and fulfilment.

Taking up Vedic meditation as a way to manage his snowballing anxiety, he finally meets God on his own terms. But most surprising of all is that it unlocks the secret to an entirely new way of living.

Borne of the hope it may inspire others to realise their true potential, Son of a Preacher Man offers a unique perspective on finding peace and purpose in life, regardless of one's circumstances, and a compelling narrative about the transformative power of spirituality.

It is a book that will challenge you to reflect on your own journey with a grateful heart and see the fingerprints of God throughout your life.

How I was able to find peace and joy in the face of diversity and tribulations. Early in life, I have always had Someone looking after me even when I did not realize it. Later in life, after becoming a true believer, my faith was challenged. Even in the face of this chronic illness called MS, my faith never faltered. I did not revert to asking, "why me?" I know my purpose is to boldly show what Christ has done in my life regardless of any obstacles. Born on Chicago's west side in 1958, I aspired to do better than what was expected. I did the traditional college. I got my Bachelor of Science and Masters degrees. I started my career in Chicago. Working for corporate giants like Merrill Lynch, IBM, and Siemens was what I thought I was supposed to do back then. In 1999 I was blessed with employment at a small, public, non-corporate technology organization. However, in 2001, I experienced a steady decline of my health. Not knowing what to do, I went to my primary physician for help, but the prescribed stress pills did not work. Finally, in 2006, I received a call at a time when most doctors were not working. I was diagnosed with MS.

First published in 1978, Christmas Humphrey's autobiography presents the fascinating history of a life rich and varied in both private and in public. Spanning seven decades it touches on many events of historical interest in which he was personally involved. Among them the abdication of Edward VIII, the Japanese War Trials and his time with the Dalai Lama after his flight from Tibet. The author gives a graphic portrait of life behind the Bar and on the Bench - of what it is like to prosecute and to defend, and of the immense difficulties which face a judge when passing sentence. Here too are recollections of many famous cases of the twentieth century, and of the many murder trials in which he appeared as prosecuting counsel or judge. Of equal interest is his fifty years' of work in the field of English Buddhism. In 1924 he and his wife founded the Buddhist Society, which would become hugely influential in the spread of Buddhism throughout the West. Both Sides of the Circle is rich in humour and humanity. There is the joyful account of the author's Edwardian Boyhood followed by the tragedy of his brother's death in World War 1, which lead to the awakening of his interest in Buddhism and Theosophy. He speaks freely of his encounters with the Dalai Lama, with D.T. Suzuki, with Jung and with the Royal families of Thailand, Sikkim and Nepal, as well as his travels throughout the Europe and in the Orient. Both sides of the Circle is more than autobiography - it is also a spiritual odyssey whose reissue will be of great interest to those who've enjoyed Christmas Humphreys' other work and wish to know more about his brilliant career. It will also be very welcome to those wanted to learn about Buddhism in general, and the origins of English Buddhism in particular.

When Ben and Barbara Girod married in 1973, they had no idea their new life together would be one of shared burdens and blessings, lovely dreams and bitter disappointments. Both products of a strict and conservative Amish upbringing, they sought to know Jesus, and they wanted more than the form and tradition of their Amish upbringing. In An Amish Journey to Forgiveness, author Ben Girod tells his remarkable and unusual story of Amish life, reflecting his painstaking social and spiritual journey over many decades. His responsibilities as a bishop and church leader were manifold as he dealt with the predominant and inherent traditions of the Old Order Amish church. A divine encounter with God brought peace and joy to their lives, but this was soon followed by misunderstanding and rejection by family, church members, and leaders, ultimately ending in excommunication from their respective district. Devastated, confused, and unable to understand why this was happening, they turned to the Lord in search of meaning and purpose. An Amish Journey to Forgiveness shares their story as they began to understand that God was allowing such persecution and suffering to draw them closer to Him. It shows how God used Girod to bring about an awareness of the need for healing and reconciliation throughout the body.
