Book Description
Is there life after loss? Grace Mathers is almost certain there isn't. She's slowly picking up the pieces of her shattered life, one painful step at a time. She's hiding from the pain, avoiding the truth, and living in a full state of denial. When Ryan Bernhart walks into her life, she is anything but pleased. Although she's instantly attracted to him, she wants nothing to do with the tattoo-covered bad boy. She has no room in her life for any more chaos or confusion, and she does not intend to get involved with someone who is destined to break her heart. Ryan is a man on a mission. Keeping his shop afloat and finding a place to live are his top priorities. What he doesn't need is Grace Mathers, the spunky beauty who threatens to upend his entire world. She's everything he could ask for if he were the kind of guy to want more, which he most definitely is not. He's not looking for forever, not looking for anything resembling a relationship. Not now. Not ever. It's not easy learning to let go and learning to love. Will they decide to take a chance on friendship, on possibly finding love, on hopefully finding faith in one another? Or will their pasts threaten any chance of future happiness?

Book Description
In his new book Losing Faith in the BBC Nigel Holmes uses the Corporation's own published reports, research documents and statistics to bring the argument up to date. Losing Faith in the BBC demonstrates clearly: The loss of airtime, both on BBC TV and Radio, for religious programmes; the replacement of high quality religious programmes with trivial 'fillers' and the pushing of the religious programmes to the margins of the schedules. A large proportion of the population is seriously interested in religion and matters of faith (despite gloomy statistics about church atttendances, many more people attend church than go to watch football matches). The BBC is a national institution, whose own publicity boasts "You make it what it is." But is that claim true if the needs of a substantial sector of the population is being marginalized in the name of viewer and listener ratings? Nigel Holmes brings his years of experience to bear as he tackles this controversial question.

Book Description
Faith Brooks is a typical teenaged pastor’s kid, until she does the unthinkable and moves in with Gabe, an edgy musician and nonbeliever, seemingly closing the door on her past forever. After Faith abandons them, the Brooks family is left to pick up the pieces, unsure if they’ll ever see her again. While coping with Faith’s unsettling desertion, each family member separately wrestles with feelings of betrayal, anger, and fear. The chaos that ensues threatens everything they have ever believed about themselves, God, and the world around them. As Faith struggles to find her way in a scary new world without a support system, her family desperately searches for the reasons why she was driven to commit such a treacherous act. In losing Faith, now the possibility looms that they might also lose their own. Losing Faith is a compelling, modern-day tale of loss, love, and the enduring power of faith, as a teenage girl escapes her reality to explore a world devoid of God’s influence, leaving her heartbroken family to wonder why.

Book Description
The Vanishing reveals the plight and possible extinction of Christian communities across Syria, Egypt, Iraq, and Palestine after 2,000 years in their historical homeland. Some of the countries that first nurtured and characterized Christianity - along the North African Coast, on the Euphrates and across the Middle East and Arabia - are the ones in which it is likely to first go extinct. Christians are already vanishing. We are past the tipping point, now tilted toward the end of Christianity in its historical homeland. Christians have fled the lands where their prophets wandered, where Jesus Christ preached, where the great Doctors and hierarchs of the early church established the doctrinal norms that would last millennia. From Syria to Egypt, the cities of northern Iraq to the Gaza Strip, ancient communities, the birthplaces of prophets and saints, are losing any living connection to the religion that once was such a characteristic feature of their social and cultural lives. In The Vanishing, Janine di Giovanni has combined astonishing journalistic work to discover the last traces of small, hardy communities that have become wisely fearful of outsiders and where ancient rituals are quietly preserved amid 360 degree threats. Di Giovanni's riveting personal stories and her conception of faith and hope are intertwined throughout the chapters. The book is a unique act of pre-archeology: the last chance to visit the living religion before all that will be left are the stones of the past.

Book Description
With the emerging vitality of the Hispanic church in the United States, the voices of Hispanic theology raise a new and vital challenge. A bridge between the North American church and the liberation theology of Latin America, Hispanic theology reflects on the experience of faith rooted in the cultures, histories, and hopes of the Hispanic people here in the U.S. Frontiers of Hispanic Theology in the United States draws on the key figures and explores the central themes of Hispanic theology, including such issues as popular religion, spirituality, liturgy, Hispanic feminist perspectives, and the meaning of "mestizaje" as a source of theological reflection. What emerges is a truly contextual theology, rooted in the unique cultures and tradition of Hispanic Catholics, a theology which also issues a wider challenge to the Anglo church and the world theological community.
