Long Loneliness : The Autobiography Of The Legendary Catholic Social Activi
$16.99This inspiring and fascinating memoir, subtitled, “The Autobiography of the Legendary Catholic Social Activist,” The Long Loneliness is the late Dorothy Day’s compelling autobiographical testament to her life of social activism and her spiritual pilgrimage. A founder of the Catholic Worker Movement and longtime associate of Peter Maurin, Dorothy Day was eulogized in the New York Times as, “a nonviolent social radical of luminous personality.” The Long Loneliness recounts her remarkable journey from the Greenwich Village political and literary scene of the 1920s through her conversion to Catholicism and her lifelong struggle to help bring about “the kind of society where it is easier to be good.”

Jezebel : The Untold Story Of The Bible’s Harlot Queen
$18.00There is no woman with a worse reputation than Jezebel, the ancient queen who corrupted a nation and met one of the most gruesome fates in the Bible. Her name alone speaks of sexual decadence and promiscuity. But what if this version of her story, handed down to us through the ages, is merely the one her enemies wanted us to believe? What if Jezebel, far from being a conniving harlot, was, in fact, framed?
In this remarkable new biography, Lesley Hazleton shows exactly how the proud and courageous queen of Israel was vilified and made into the very embodiment of wanton wickedness by her political and religious enemies. Jezebel brings readers back to the source of the biblical story, a rich and dramatic saga featuring evil schemes and underhanded plots, war and treason, false gods and falser humans, and all with the fate of entire nations at stake. At its center are just one woman and one man-the sophisticated Queen Jezebel and the stark prophet Elijah. Their epic and ultimately tragic confrontation pits tolerance against righteousness, pragmatism against divine dictates, and liberalism against conservatism. It is, in other words, the original story of the unholy marriage of sex, politics, and religion, and it ends in one of the most chillingly brutal scenes in the entire Bible.
Here at last is the real story of the rise and fall of this legendary woman-a radically different portrait with startling contemporary resonance in a world mired once again in religious wars.

Women In The Gospel Of John
$14.99When Dan Brown’s novel The DaVinci Code was published, it did something that many biblical scholars had not been able to do. It posed difficult questions about the role of women in Jesus’ life and in the early church, and brought these questions to the forefront of conversations. Judith Kaye Jones contends that the gospel of John does not just include stories about women, it is structured around stories of women. In this unique testament, women and their encounters with Jesus provide the framework for the central message of Jesus.

What Paul Meant
$24.00In his New York Times bestseller What Jesus Meant, Garry Wills offered a fresh and incisive reading of Jesus’ teachings. Now Wills turns to Paul, whose writings have provoked controversy throughout Christian history. Upending many common assumptions, Wills argues eloquently that what Paul meant was not something contrary to what Jesus meant. Rather, the best way to know Jesus is to discover Paul. In this stimulating and masterly analysis, Wills illuminates how Paul, writing on the road and in the heat of the moment, and often in the midst of controversy, galvanized a movement and offers us the best reflection of those early times.

Jael : Rewards Of The Most Blessed
$20.61In this sequel, the auspicious Jael moves forward in victory over Sisera’s wicked mother who tries to kill her. Finally, Jael meets Deborah the prophetess, the judge of Israel. She runs in the X-war games and wins over the unbeatable Zophar the Great, gaining freedom and equal rights for all women in her country. Herber, the husband of Jael, at last comes to know Jehovah, the God of Israel, and is saved. He becomes king and Jael becomes queen of the Kenite nation. Jael bears many children, and they reign in peace for over forty years. Jael was blessed above women with good works of rewards. Our works follow us to our destiny where eternal rewards wait for us (Revelation 14:13). Christ is returning to earth with rewards in His hands (Revelation 22:12). Blessings come by God’s favor but rewards by labors and works. Christians must now focus upon their eternal rewards and not just their material blessings. This book reveals that Christ is the “Lord of Rewards” and the “God of the heart.” All believers must view the Bible is the daily workbook, destiny manual, heart directory, and reward instruction guide for life.
