The Vicar of Christ
Author: Walter F. Murphy
Publisher: Quid Pro Books
ISBN: 1610272536
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 1084
Book Description
The New York Times Bestselling novel is now available in modern digital formats, featuring a new, substantive Foreword by Justice Samuel Alito. This book is universally considered to be an unusual, fascinating, and well-written observation of the life of a man who was first a war hero and Medal of Honor winner from the Korean War, then Chief Justice of the United States, later a monk reeling from tragedy, and finally elected to be Pope: Pope Francis I, in fact. His exciting life is described by three men who 'knew him well.' The first narrator is a Marine, telling of their time together in Korea. A constitutional scholar and Supreme Court Justice, appalled at the new Chief Justice, narrates the second phase. The third is a Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church: fat, kind, but distracted. The Marine cares for him the most, the Supreme Court Justice condescends and despises him, and the Cardinal is much more interested in food than his subject. But Declan Walsh was a man who earned the Medal of Honor while ordering the death of friends, ruled pragmatically and energetically on the Court but lost his way to death and neglect, and became a miraculous healer, assassinated for challenging the powers that rule the secular world. New ebook edition features proper formatting, active and detailed Table of Contents, and linked notes and URLs in Justice Alito's extensive and informative introduction. What makes this book extraordinary is that it proves itself by paradox — reconciling and weaving together strong, seemingly incompatible elements into a cohesive, memorable work quite unlike any other in recent fiction. Ambitious in length and scope, the stage is nothing less than the contemporary world, its recent history and prophecy; while the focus, from several points of view, is clearly upon a single man — an American — who rises to become Bishop of Rome.

Pages : 304
Book Description
Debut author Annabelle Greene brings us the brilliant first book in her Society of Beasts series, in which a quiet country vicar is unwillingly reunited with the duke who left him long ago… As a young man, Sir Gabriel Winters left behind his status as a gentleman, turning his back on his secret desires and taking a self-imposed vow of celibacy. Now a chaste hard-working vicar, his reputation is beyond reproach. But, try as he might, he’s never forgotten the man he once desired or the pain of being abandoned by his first love. Edward Stanhope, the Duke of Caddonfell, is a notorious rake, delighting in scandal no matter the consequence. With a price on his head, he flees to the countryside, forced to keep his presence a secret or risk assassination. When Edward finds Gabriel on his estate, burning with fever, he cannot leave him to die, but taking him in puts them both in jeopardy. With the help of a notorious blackmailer, a society of rich and famous gentlemen who prefer gentlemen, and a kitten named Buttons, they might just manage to save Edward’s life—but the greatest threat may be to their hearts.

Pages : 210
Book Description
Dora is a barmaid. Usually her life is fairly simple: she gets up, cleans the inn, feeds the chickens, argues with the increasingly obstreperous cockerel, listens to the woes of her fellow barmaid, avoids doing the laundry, and serves drinks to the motley crew of islanders who lurk about the taproom every night. The same old routine, day in, day out. Tonight, though, is different. Tonight, just one week before the vernal equinox, after a catastrophically bad harvest the year before, a stranger has walked into the bar... A light-hearted historical fantasy that pokes fun at traditional horror and romantic fiction. Fans of Terry Pratchett or Jodi Taylor will love this book

The Vicar's Dog

ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 102
Book Description
One who has faced the evil that lurks in darkness comes to cherish the gentle grace of moonlight... Innocent mistake unravels dark secrets and divine deceptions among people of faith. In the early morning of the month of May, 1952, the African sun blazed with its usual intensity as the missionaries arrived, their presence met with warm, curious hospitality. They approached the local customs with sensitivity and humility, navigating the complex introduction of a foreign deity to the native people. The serene community's peace was soon disrupted by an unexpected event—the mysterious disappearance of Collar, the Vicar’s wife’s beloved Chihuahua. This seemingly trivial incident set off a chain of events that tested the faith and resilience of both the missionaries and the villagers. The Vicar’s Dog is a satirical exploration of the intricate dynamics between an African settlement and the influence of foreign religions, when a single act of youthful folly ignites a cascade of revelations and consequences.
