Book Description
Dan Davidson is a horror novelist, who just signed a three-book, $30 million contract. But it wasn't his talent alone that got him the deal. It was JR, the demon spirit, which had been living dormant inside him for the past thirty-two years. Until now. JR seeks restitution for helping kill Dan's abusive father all those years ago. Now he wants Dan to write the ultimate horror novel, coupled with his rising popularity, that will coerce people into selling their souls to the Devil; a fresh start to a new and enticing world. But with Dan's life turning upside down, he finds it difficult to concentrate on the new novel. Though the less work he does, the more JR threatens to take full control of him. Adam, Dan's only child, recognizes the signs of demonic possession in his father and begs the help of Father Levin, who was almost killed in his first and only exorcism, twenty years prior. Reluctantly, he agrees to see Dan. And when priest and demon meet, a spiritual calamity breaks loose, shattering the serenity of a cabin by the lake and the small town nestled beside it.

Book Description
Isaiah. 53:4 tells us, "Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows." Because Jesus has redeemed us from grief and sorrow, we are not obligated to respond to the tests and storms of life like those in the world. Too often, believers have taken their cues and views on tragedies and the storms of life from the world and have opened the door to depression, grief, and sorrow. When a Christian's mind is renewed with the Word of God, they know too much to respond to tests and the storms of life like everyone else. People become entrenched in a flow of depression, grief, and sorrow when they operate out of the emotional and mental arenas, but if believers will stay in the spirit arena, the faith arena, they will be able to yield and draw on the faith, peace, and joy that is in them. In this important book, Nancy Dufresne teaches from first-hand experience the all-conquering force of peace. Even death is no match for the mighty force of peace that is available to every believer. Find out how to take your place in the peace that Jesus left you as an inheritance and live totally free from grief and sorrow.

Book Description
The work of the mature person is to carry grief in one hand and gratitude in the other and be stretched large by them. As seen on All There Is with Anderson Cooper Noted psychotherapist Francis Weller provides an essential guide for navigating the deep waters of sorrow and loss in this lyrical yet practical handbook for mastering the art of grieving. Describing how Western patterns of amnesia and anesthesia affect our capacity to cope with personal and collective sorrows, Weller reveals the new vitality we may encounter when we welcome, rather than fear, the pain of loss. Through moving personal stories, poetry, and insightful reflections he leads us into the central energy of sorrow, and to the profound healing and heightened communion with each other and our planet that reside alongside it. The Wild Edge of Sorrow explains that grief has always been communal and illustrates how we need the healing touch of others, an atmosphere of compassion, and the comfort of ritual in order to fully metabolize our grief. Weller describes how we often hide our pain from the world, wrapping it in a secret mantle of shame. This causes sorrow to linger unexpressed in our bodies, weighing us down and pulling us into the territory of depression and death. We have come to fear grief and feel too alone to face an encounter with the powerful energies of sorrow. Those who work with people in grief, who have experienced the loss of a loved one, who mourn the ongoing destruction of our planet, or who suffer the accumulated traumas of a lifetime will appreciate the discussion of obstacles to successful grief work such as privatized pain, lack of communal rituals, a pervasive feeling of fear, and a culturally restrictive range of emotion. Weller highlights the intimate bond between grief and gratitude, sorrow and intimacy. In addition to showing us that the greatest gifts are often hidden in the things we avoid, he offers powerful tools and rituals and a list of resources to help us transform grief into a force that allows us to live and love more fully.

Book Description
“It is not merely penance that the Church asks of us during Lent. It is extra prayer.” Some preachers are more notable than others. Fr. Gerald Vann, O.P., was ordained in 1929 at the remarkable age of twenty-three in a Dominican Order known for its careful discrimination about its candidates. Despite fame both in his native England and in the United States, his brilliant and accessible writing has largely disappeared from view. Of great significance is this compendium of Lenten inspirations. In seven chapters marked by originality and striking clarity, Fr. Vann gets under the rind and into the heart of every aspect of Christ's Passion. You'll learn: What the Agony in the Garden tells us about our own struggles, sorrows, and sins What Christ's betrayal reveals about the depth of our love, fait
