Book Description
The good news of Jesus Christ is for both sinners and the sinned-against. For the past two thousand years, Christian theologians have focused on the experience of sinners, but treated their victims inadequately. To counterbalance this perspective, a diverse group of Christian scholars consider sin "from the other side." To make sense of Christianity from this standpoint, they offer a more complex and comprehensive analysis of human participation in evil and its reconciliation than the simple formula of sin and repentance. The Other Side of Sin is an original, fresh, and exciting adventure into one of the most needed areas of theological thinking.

Book Description
This book represents ten years of writing weekly articles for the local newspapers. It began at a time in my life when I felt pressed by many things, not the least of which was the desire to express the word of God. I have always been taken captive by Holman Hunt's allegorical painting Light of the World, which represents the figure of Jesus preparing to knock on an overgrown and long-unopened door. This is the door of our own heart, which only we can open to Jesus. This book represents my Bible-based thoughts, beliefs and experiences on the other side of that door with Jesus.

Men do not “... put new wine into old wineskins, otherwise the wineskins burst “ (Matt 9:16-17). Learn what these elementary things are and how they hinder your life with God. See how they can be removed and replaced with better things. • Know the depth and richness of the born again stage. • Know how it feels to live in the overcoming stage. • Enjoy life in the ruling stage. • Be crowned with life in the heavenly stage.

Book Description
With the election of a new Abbot at the Abbey of Gethsemani, Merton enters a period of unprecedented freedom, culminating in the opportunity to travel to California, Alaska, and finally the Far East – journeys that offer him new possibilities and causes for contemplation. In his last days at the Abbey of Gethsemani, Merton continues to follow the tumultuous events of the sixties, including the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr., and Robert Kennedy. In Southeast Asia, he meets the Dalai Lama and other Buddhist and Catholic monks and discovers a rare and rewarding kinship with each. The final year is full of excitement and great potential for Merton, making his accidental death in Bangkok, at the age of fifth-three, all the more tragic.

Book Description
Our soul is the part of us that we often do not think much about. Our soul has feelings and emotions. Our soul experiences pain and agony. Our soul laughs and enjoys being full of joy and happiness. Most of all, our soul yearns to be closer to our God. Our soul is the part of us that will live forever throughout eternity with God or away from God. In A Glimpse into the Other Side Through the Eyes of My Soul, author Louise considers her life’s journey and recognizes it as a wonderful blessing, because she has been called to share many great blessings and hallelujah moments of her life with us. Louise also realizes that she is responsible for sharing the heartbreaking trials and the tear-filled sorrows that she has endured along the way. Louise also knows that her life has been richly blessed and highly favored by her God; therefore, she must continue to write all that her God allows her to write. Louise is a Christian who loves God the Father; Jesus Christ, her lord and savior; and the Holy Spirit. She is not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. Louise has been chosen—by God—to be a vessel that will share her life’s journey with each and every one of us. A wonderfully amazing gift was given to her that allows her to see what her soul sees, hears, and experiences at various times in her life. Louise’s journey proves God’s existence over and over again as we all realize the similarities of narratives that are also found in the Bible.

Book Description
This perceptive, coherent, thought-provoking and piercing work highlights the subtle social game of everyday life filled with puns and double meanings, seen through the eyes of an unorthodox hero - a very young priest by the name of Nickolas Jordan. He is a teenage African boy who loses his family in a gruesome genocide. He finds himself in New York City as a political refugee; disillusioned with the adult world and its phoniness; where his world takes another tumble as he meets all kinds of people that further shatter his understanding of life; an envious lawyer, an angry artist, an egocentric heiress, a greedy businessman and a slothful dreamer. After a decade has passed, he returns to his native country to meet his only remaining relative, and childhood best friend maybe to find some closure, but to his surprise, he discovers that she is a gluttonous alcoholic and the best friend, an opportunistic pervert. All these encounters, events and relationships, shape his views and beliefs that ultimately induce him to become a priest. The story is set between 1993 and 2013 in New York, Paris, Nairobi and Burundi, and begets the question whether the Grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.
