Book Description
A psychiatric casualty from the Vietnam War, Trip Tripoletti accepts a teaching position at St. Sebastian College run by Norbertine monks and discovers not all madness is confined to army psychiatric wards. They're all here—a stigmatic dwarf, a cat-torturing Ukrainian, a poisonous dean, an LSD-crazed monk, a necrophilic priest, a suicidal homosexual, a pre-orgasmic dean of women—along with the usual collection of zany faculty all too familiar to those of us who survived Catholic higher education. Gabriel's characters are alive and crazy, and hysterically funny to boot, that is until Trip stumbles upon the terrible secret kept by the monks of St. Sebastian, and then events take a deadly turn that threatens Trip's sanity and his life. Sebastian's Cross is black humor at its best!

Book Description
IN A DARK AGE OF UNENDING WAR AND VIOLENCE, ONE YOUNG WARRIOR OPPOSES A MIGHTY KING TO FORGE A NEW PATH TO PEACE... During the savage Frankish-Saxon wars, the moving force of his age, Karl der Grosse, King Charlemagne, fights and rules like the pagan enemies he seeks to conquer. But in the long shadow of war and genocide, a spark of enlightenment grows, and the king turns to learned men to help him lead his empire to prosperity. One of these men is the unlikely young warrior Sebastian. Raised in an isolated fortress on the wild Saxon border, Sebastian balances his time in the training yard with hours teaching himself to read, seeking answers to the great mysteries of life during an age when such pastimes were scorned by fighting men. Sebastian’s unique combination of skills endears him to Charlemagne and to the ladies of the king’s court, though the only woman to hold his heart is forbidden to him. As the king determines to surround himself with men who can both fight and think beyond the fighting, Sebastian becomes one of the privileged few to hold the king’s ear. But the favor of the king does not come without cost. As Charlemagne’s vassals grapple for power, there are some who will do anything to se Sebastian fall from grace, including his ruthless cousin, Konrad, whose hatred and jealousy threaten to destroy everything Sebastian holds dear. And as Sebastian increasingly finds himself at odds with the king’s brutal methods of domination and vengeance, his ingrained sense of honor and integrity lead him to the edge of treason, perilously pitting himself against the most powerful man of his age. This fast-paced adventure story brings Charlemagne’s realm to life as the vicious Christian-pagan wars of the eighth century decide the fate of Europe. Filled with action, intrigue, and romance, Sebastian’s Way is a riveting and colorful recreation of the world of Europe’s greatest medieval monarch.

Book Description
1997, Boston -- Fifteen years ago an eleven-year-old girl died an unspeakable death in a small Midwestern city.... As a child, Weeble earns her nickname for her ability to stand up under difficult circumstances. Despite the squalor, neglect, and abuse of her home, Weeble adopts the role of protector, first for her younger sister, Annie, and then for her best friend, Lauren. When Lauren dies, Weeble hides her stark, painful childhood from herself in order to survive. Years later and now a civil engineer living thousands of miles away, Weeble's tenuous hold on her emotional state has started to unravel. The methods she uses to cope with her shame and grief no longer work. After winning a grant to create a Web site dedicated to the victims of serial killers, Weeble shuts out longtime friends and begins training for the Boston Sprint Triathlon. Running hard has always kept the nightmares at bay. Then during an early-morning run, she's caught off guard by a Freegan named Tom Paul, a glass artist and modern mystic. Weeble's numb detachment shatters. As her past increasingly invades her present, she will be forced to confront the truth of what happened that long ago summer. Using a structure that switches abruptly between radiant present and dark past, Saint Sebastian's Head tells the ultimately healing love story of a damaged woman and the faithful man who can see the hidden beauty of her soul.

Book Description
Sebastian Knoll suggests that the successful realization of growth synergies is associated with a selective focus on specific growth opportunities, decentralized cross-business collaboration that motivates productive business unit self-interest, and a corporate management approach that guides and balances this self-interest in an evolutionary fashion.

Book Description
I’ve always been a fan of fiction and myths about other worlds and the power and abilities that they can express and produce, I’ve always seen things differently than the average person, not that there aren’t people who would agree with me and see things how I do, but I haven’t met them. But when someone sees something that confuses them I understand, things that people don’t understand I find fascinating. I’m not crazy or anything I just have a unique eye for things that we encounter on a day to day basis. I see more to life, earth nature outer space, heaven and hell a lot of things that go unexpressed because its something that just comes and becomes apart of what I believe in witch happen to be a lot of things and how I see things. Most of my inspirations come from life experiences, a relationship with someone I got very attached too, frustrations about how I grew up, not that it was all bad, being abandoned, feeling alone, writing was a way to keep me from losing my mind and not caring if I was going down hill, I started to live inside my head and use metaphor’s about how I saw life as it was. Training in martial arts played a big role in my writing, whatever I felt at the time and however long it followed me. One of the things I’m coming to realize is that the bad things never leave us, because they are the memories that haunt us, instead of ignoring them or denying them we can use them and shape them into a work of art or whatever you prefer that fits who you are, it depends on how far you look inside yourself, sometimes you can look so far that it scares you and you never knew you had that side to you. The journey inside the mind and feelings is a never ending story that continues even after death, its what makes your soul that determines how well you’ll be heard. I enjoy writing, but yeah, when I think about it, I don’t want to write, but after I start its like finding myself all over again and something gets reinvented in someway.

Book Description
This Theological Commentary is the first full-length work in English to consider Johann Sebastian Bach’s St John Passion in its entirety, both the words and the music. Bach’s oratorio is a globally popular musical work, and a significant expression of Lutheran theology. The commentary explains the Biblical and poetic text, and its musical setting, line by line. Bach’s Passion is shown to be the work of a master craftsman and trained theologian, in the collaborative and cultural milieu of eighteenth-century, Lutheran Leipzig. For the first time, this work makes much German scholarship available in English, including archival sources, and includes a new scholarly translation of the libretto. The musical and theological terms are explained, to enable an interdisciplinary understanding of the Passion’s meaning and continued significance.
