Rabbi Levi Yitzhak of Berditchev (1740-1809) is one of the most celebrated and beloved of all Hasidic masters, communicating the spirit of Hasidism in a way that few others can. His expansive personality was able to forgive the fiercest enemies, to bring factions together, to pray with the utmost devotion, and to say the unsayable of his time. In this small but beautiful little volume, Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi and Netanel Miles-Yepez present a careful selection of his stories and teachings, translating and retelling them for modern readers (many for the first time) and putting them into a meaningful context with their insightful commentary. Readers of their other work, A Heart Afire, will be thrilled with this delightful continuation of neo-Hasidic commentary.

It is Switzerland, in 1816. Lord Byron, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Shelley's wife Mary and Byron's physician Dr Polidori are ensconced in the Villa Diodati beside Lake Geneva. Polidori is a hanger-on whose presence is merely tolerated. Yet he will stop at nothing to outwit them all. He enters a Faustian pact with an elusive penfriend, Annette Legrand, who is the mysterious third member of the infamous Legrand sisters, the notorious vaudeville act. Annette will produce for him the most compelling vampire tale ever written, which he will read aloud the very night Mary Shelley is to reveal for the first time her tale of Frankenstein. But, in exchange, what can the effete Polidori offer this ghostly female predator, and what is her secret? How real is the insatiable thirst of the sisters for human male fluids? Dream and reality are fantastically blurred for Polidori as he strives to beat the Byron set at their own gothic literary game.

The story of a boy whose mother forbade him to join the air force, this volume presents a vivid and compelling account of Australian naval history from the firsthand perspective of Marsden Hordern. Through personal letters and journals, his triumphs and disasters as a naval officer and his rise from a young and callow sublieutenant to a lieutenant in command of his own ship are recounted. He recalls his hopes and fears, and, in the face of the horrors of war, reveals an appealing enthusiasm for new experiences and a growing love of the sea. From the Australian coast to Timor to Japan, these memories comprise both a coming-of-age tale and a history of an often overlooked maritime force.

We hear a lot about grace through songs, books, conventions and seminars but what about mercy? Mercy is mentioned 276 times in the Bible yet it is often ignored, taken for granted and overlooked. But, when we need mercy, we start to pay attention to it. In his new book, Merciful, Pastor Diego Mesa offers a fresh perspective and a clearer understanding of God s wonderful gift of mercy and how to receive it in your life. You will discover that God s mercy is the catalyst for miracles and the carrier of God s blessings to His children. Merciful will help you gain a deeper understanding of God s true nature and a new revelation of His love.

Here is a clear, concise and judicious examination of the bedrock Christian moral principles of mercy and meekness that leads the author, a professor of philosophy, to affirm their essential integration if we are to become complete Christians. Dr. Walters redefines and synthesizes the Christian principles: mercy and meekness together are virtues compatible, complementary, and essential to our pathway to union with Christ, convincingly countering the Nietzschean philosophy that rejects their synthesis (one or the other is possible, but not both), as incompatible, inherently contradictory and "morally repugnant." Intended as a reference work for undergraduate students, this spare book, rooted in Scripture and Christian tradition, the thought of Thomas Merton, Henri Nouwen, Ayn Rand, and Friedrich Nietzsche, including his polemics with the Sermon on the Mount, is also helpful for the general reader in search of spiritual wholeness. It is an effective counterguide to Christianity's naysayers.

Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899–1981), minister of Westminster Chapel in London for thirty years, was one of the foremost preachers of his day. His many books have brought profound spiritual encouragement to millions around the world. 

Some 37,000 soldiers from six German principalities, collectively remembered as Hessians, entered service as British auxiliaries in the American War of Independence. At times, they constituted a third of the British army in North America, and thousands of them were imprisoned by the Americans. Despite the importance of Germans in the British war effort, historians have largely overlooked these men. Drawing on research in German military records and common soldiers’ letters and diaries, Daniel Krebs places the prisoners on center stage in A Generous and Merciful Enemy, portraying them as individuals rather than simply as numbers in casualty lists.Setting his account in the context of British and European politics and warfare, Krebs explains the motivations of the German states that provided contract soldiers for the British army. We think of the Hessians as mercenaries, but, as he shows, many were conscripts. Some were new recruits; others, veterans. Some wanted to stay in the New World after the war. Krebs further describes how the Germans were made prisoners, either through capture or surrender, and brings to life their experiences in captivity from New England to Havana, Cuba.Krebs discusses prison conditions in detail, addressing both the American approach to war prisoners and the prisoners’ responses to their experience. He assesses American efforts as a “generous and merciful enemy” to use the prisoners as economic, military, and propagandistic assets. In the process, he never loses sight of the impact of imprisonment on the POWs themselves.Adding new dimensions to an important but often neglected topic in military history, Krebs probes the origins of the modern treatment of POWs. An epilogue describes an almost-forgotten 1785 treaty between the United States and Prussia, the first in western legal history to regulate the treatment of prisoners of war.

The day of the Lord is not just a future event.Many people regard the day of the Lord as a future reality with little relevance for the earthly life of believers. But the apostle Paul understood the theological concept differently. For him the day of the Lord was a matter of present experience that influenced every aspect of his theology. In The Righteous and Merciful Judge, authors Matthew Aernie and Donald Hartley issue a corrective to scholarship that misconstrues the day of the Lord as only a distant event. Through engagement with scholarship and careful exegesis of relevant texts, they argue that the concept of the day of the Lord was so significant for Paul that every aspect of his theology was in some way affected by it. Aernie and Hartley show us that Paul's understanding of the day of the Lord relates to all of Paul's theology precisely because it was shaped by his encounter with Jesus, the Lord himself.The day of the Lord is coming, but it already shapes our lives and theology. The Righteous and Merciful Judge demonstrates that the day of the Lord is transformative and influential for believers today, just as it was for Paul.

Thérèse of Lisieux, who lived and died in anonymity, is one of the best known and beloved saints of our age. Her spiritual autobiography, Story of a Soul, translated into nearly sixty languages, has nourished countless people with a message that is accessible to everyone. St. Pius X called her “the greatest saint of modern times” and Pope John Paul II named her co-patroness of France and the missions and declared her a Doctor of the Universal Church.Thérèse taught that sanctity is within everyone’s grasp. However, her happiness was not devoid of pain and conflict. Precisely in this fact does her life mirror our own. She can teach us how to find God in the mundane events of daily life.

In this insightful text, Stan Chu Ilo addresses key questions that face modern Catholicism, particularly in Africa. He shows how two key themes of Pope Francis-- the church of the poor and the church of mercy have deep roots in biblical, patristic, and diverse ecclesial traditions. In Ilo's focus on Africa, he offers a "Triple A ecclesiology" of accountability, accompaniment, and action guided by some of the practices and theological aesthetics of Pope Francis. The result is a road map and guide for the mission of God in history beyond the papacy of Pope Francis.

While eighteen beautiful, glowing icons lead us to see God face to face, the accompanying reflections call us to become this image of God, to put on the new life of Christ.As they have throughout the centuries, icons lead us, teach us, inspire us, and draw us into the presence of God. In the words of Megan McKenna, "The icon is a way for the friends of Christ to share in his mysteries, in the sacraments, and to come to know the Father as Jesus knew him in the flesh. . . . Each icon reveals a different facet of who Jesus is and what he has done in creation."
