Sacred Matters explores the multi-disciplinary literature about the
role of religion in family life and provides new research and a new
theory about ways various aspects of the sacred are helpful and
harmful. The authors hope that their new conceptual framework will
stimulate new research and encourage the creation of new
intervention programs designed to help families. Sacred Matters
features: a new conceptual framework and theory about how, when,
and why sacred matters influence family processes and outcomes new
qualitative and quantitative research collected in a variety of
ways from people with different religious perspectives in different
geographical areas an expansion in theory and research about the
role of forgiveness, sacrifice, prayer, and sanctification in
family life the integration of studies and issues from psychology,
sociology, family studies, anthropology, and religion. This book
raises the bar in creating new theories about family processes and
in the integration of theory, research, and application. It begins
with a review of the previous literature and then expands the
research about sanctification to create a new general theory (or
model) about ways sacred processes help and hinder families. Next
the authors expand the theory and research about the role of
forgiveness, sacrifice, and prayer in families. New theory and
research are then added about loving, coping with conflict, dealing
with undesirable behavior, generational relationships, morality,
and the psychosocial aspects of religion. The authors then describe
ways sacred theory can be integrated with other theories and ways
it provides new explanations about broader social problems. The
book concludes with new quantitative research and suggestions for
future research. Researchers, practitioners, and advanced students
in several disciplines will find this volume valuable. It will
expand and enrich the reading in graduate and advanced
undergraduate courses in areas such as family studies, human
development, marriage and family therapy, the psychology of the
family and the psychology of religion, the sociology of the family
and the sociology of religion, pastoral counseling, anthropology,
and social work.

Rod Logan is an architect who is constantly tormented by his past.
After returning from Southeast Asia, flashbacks of horrific events
during his time as a Navy SEAL contribute to, but are not the sole
source of, his inner turmoil. Desperately seeking to put his
troubled past behind him, Rod embarks on a business trip to San
Francisco.
Once in California, Rod comes face-to-face with the one woman
able to turn him to jelly-his ex-wife Lena. His head whirls at the
thought of being hurt again by the woman who wounded him so badly
in the past, while simultaneously trying to resolve his inner
plight. Rod's dilemma becomes even more complicated after
discovering that his association with Lena leads him to his true
destiny. But knowing the truth is one thing-surviving it is
something else.
Rod and Lena bravely set out to stop the efforts of the sinister
cult leader, Mr. Kazan. A man who will stop at nothing to see his
plans to fruition, Kazan has surrounded himself with a highly
trained contingent of willing minions. From kidnapping and burglary
to ritualistic sacrifices and murder, "The Vessel" is a devilishly
exciting tale.
