Book Description
The Bishop of Princhester has come to doubt the Trinity, as well as a number of other things relating to the Creed. Not only this, but he has come to realise that there are others within the church with doubts-some who even doubt the existence of God. Although the Bishop believes fervently in God, his disagreements with the dogma, creating an inner turmoil that throws his life into chaos. Herbert George Wells (1866 - 1946) was a prolific English writer who wrote in a variety of genres, including the novel, politics, history, and social commentary. "The Father of Science Fiction" was also a staunch socialist, and his later works are increasingly political and didactic. Today, he is perhaps best remembered for his contributions to the science fiction genre thanks to such novels as "The Time Machine" (1895), "The Invisible Man" (1897), and "The War of the Worlds" (1898). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author. This book was first published in 1923.

While Scrope is spiralling, a widow moves into his house as his first follower - much to the dismay of his wife... Drifting between the mystical and the humorous, ‘The Soul of a Bishop’ is a deeply personal story about a lost man trying to find his way in the world. Teeming with fantastical images and family drama, this novel is ideal for fans of ́Under the Banner of Heaven ́. H. G. Wells (1866-1946) was an English author and Noble Prize in Literature nominee, prolific across several genres, and celebrated as the "father of science fiction".

Book Description
"The Second Vatican Council called the Bible 'the food of the soul.' Yet, for many Catholics, their engagement with Scripture is often limited to what they hear at Mass--and the dull, safe, predictable homilies that obscure rather than break open up the Word of God. In Food for the Soul, a riveting three-part series, celebrated philosopher Peter Kreeft invites the faithful—clergy and laity alike—to a heart-to-heart relationship with Christ the Word through the Word of the Scriptures." --

The Interfaith Sexual Trauma Institute has commissioned this pastoral work which focuses on the healing of congregations following clergy sexual misconduct. The book discusses the original problem of sexual misconduct and exploitation and then focuses on those neglected "secondary" victims of abuse: the congregation, the wider community, other clergy, the wider church, the offender's family, and the pastor who takes over.
