Book Description
An above-average high school student at Spring Palms High, Scott Kane lives a daily routine which few envy. Poised to be valedictorian of his class and almost assured of his entrance to the prestigious Southwood University, Scott only has one major problem: all-star bully Jack Williams. Jack has tormented Scott for the last seven years, and even though Scott has the moral support of his best friends Mark, Joseph, and Henry, he avoids Jack whenever possible. But the status quo is about to be upset. When Henry suffers a life-threatening accident apparently due to Jack, a furious Scott confronts his arch nemesis in the school's parking lot with every intention of beating him to a pulp. Just as Scott is about to deliver the final blow, their surroundings begin to shift violently, and the asphalt under their feet shatters like glass, tumbling Scott, his friends, and Jack into a mystical portal. Now inside the strange world of Dourren, the boys find themselves on a journey filled with danger, excitement, and incredible adventure beyond their wildest imaginations. As they learn about this new land, they become involved in a quest to obtain three swords of immense power, one that will culminate in a battle against an incredible evil...and teach them the meaning of true friendship.

“So…are we insane?” “Yes.” “And?” “What.” “What.” “Yes?” “You said we were insane.” “Yes. Yes, we’re insane. You asked if we were insane, right?” “And?” “And YES, we’re INSANE. Jesus, Bob.”

Book Description
Faith has lost something in the twenty-first century. In a drive to market Christianity to the world, churches have sacrificed the depth and riches of theology. Faith is bought and sold in American churches, but it is a faith without substance. Martin Recio, an Augustinian with decades of experience in ministry, shows us what it is that we've lost. Christianity is a revealed religion of redemption and reconciliation with the Lord God, through faith in his son, Jesus Christ. It is also an eschatological religion. It points to a victorious and triumphant conclusion, when Christ shall come in his second advent. Recio presents the teachings of our religion in their near-classical form, from creation through salvation to the end of time. This retelling of the Gospel of grace as it was known in the ancient world has the power to transform our modern society and beckon the coming of the kingdom of God.

Book Description
Threshold Phenomena reexamines Jacques Derrida’s thinking of hospitality, from his well-known writings of the 1990s to his recently-published seminars on the same topic. The book follows Derrida’s rereading of several central figures and texts on hospitality (Sophocles’ Oedipus at Colonus, Kant’s Perpetual Peace, Levinas’s Totality and Infinity) and his attempt to rethink questions surrounding not only private but also public hospitality in the form of immigration law, the contemporary treatment of migrants or stateless peoples, and the establishment of cities of asylum. Naas develops many of the central themes of Derrida’s seminar—the relationship between hospitality and teletechnology (telephone, internet, cyberspace, etc.), the role of fatherlands and mother tongues in hospitality, questions of purity, immunity, and xenophobia, and the possibility of extending hospitality beyond the human—to animals, plants, gods, and clones. Reframing Derrida’s approach to ethics, Naas reconsiders the relationship between hospitality and deconstruction, concluding that hospitality is not merely a theme to be treated by deconstruction but one of the best ways of describing its work. Naas’s book turns around a figure that Derrida himself returns to several times throughout the seminar: the threshold—a figure of hospitality par excellence, but also, in his seminars, another name for what Derrida in the 1960s began calling différance. Threshold Phenomena concludes that Derrida’s seminar on hospitality is one of the best introductions we have to Derrida’s work in general and one of the surest signs of its continuing relevance, a seminar that is at once fascinating and engaging in its own right and necessary for analyzing today’s increasingly nationalistic and xenophobic political climate.

Book Description
Frances Houston Cuffie, an empowerment specialist who has served in ministry more than fifty years, answers that question and many more in this book. Looking to the Bible and drawing on her own experiences, she explores how to: navigate tests of character that come your way; realize God has a future for you—no matter what happened in the past; become a cleaner, stronger vessel that can hold the power and wisdom of the Lord; learn to live for Christ in everything you do. The Spirit of the Lord is continually teaching and guiding us to truth, but we must listen—really listen—and then be prepared to respond. It does not matter whether your trial has come through family, friends, employment, education or health, the strength to continue can be found in these pages. Move closer to the Lord with the wisdom in Thresholds to Greater Glory.

Book Description
Basing his study on Jung's archetypal theory-especially that of initiation-Thresholds of Initiation represents thirty years of testing the theory in analytical practice. Joseph Henderson considers archetypes to be predictable patterns of inner conditioning that lead to certain essential changes and shows the parallels between individual psychological self-development and the rites that marked initiation in the past. Dr. Henderson's topics include the uninitiated; return of the mother; remaking a man; trial by strength; the rite of vision; thresholds of initiation; initiation and the principle of ego-development in adolescence; and initiation in the process of individuation. This is essential reading for an understanding of the universal nature of initiation, especially as it relates traditional initiatory practices to Jung's theory of archetypes.
