  While in solitary confinement for three years in a subterranean prison cell with no Bible, pencil or paper, Pastor Richard Wurmbrand composed hundreds of sermons. He committed them to memory by summarizing them in rhymes and delivered them nightly to an unseen congregation.  These sermons, the fruit of extreme depravation, demonstrate in a very personal way the relevance of Scripture to an imprisoned pastor-and to us today-while revealing Pastor Wurmbrand's thoughts and questions while locked in a solitary cell.

  Step into a harrowing and deeply moving story of one man’s battle against abuse, depression, gaslighting, and homelessness.Abandoned by his mother and subjected to years of physical and sexual abuse at the hands of his uncle and stepmother, Burak Yilmaz has few fond memories of his childhood. And when his family discovers the truth about his sexuality, he’s cast onto the streets by his father and left to fend for himself. 
  Burak survives by doing things he never imagined–but that only sends him deeper down a self-destructive spiral. Even after he escapes to New York to rebuild his life as a fitness model and bartender, the specter of his childhood continues to haunt him. Tormented by bouts of anxiety and chronic depression, the faint glimmer of rehab offers his only hope. He may have escaped his family–but can he heal the scars left behind in its wake? 
  Told with poignant reflections and brought to life with vivid detail, this gripping and powerful memoir shares Burak Yilmaz’s story confronting the harsh realities of abuse, depression, gaslighting, homelessness, and being gay in Islam. Readers will discover an unforgettable glimpse into one man’s fight for survival in a world where everything is stacked against him, along with his first-hand experience of homosexuality in his profoundly religious home country of Turkey.

   “Two prestigious scholars . . . serve up a gourmet banquet that blends the flavors of scripture and ethics without losing the distinctive tastes of each.” —Richard M. Gula, professor of moral theology, Franciscan School of Theology/Graduate Theological Union In Paul and Virtue Ethics, Daniel Harrington and James Keenan build upon their successful collaboration Jesus and Virtue Ethics to discuss the apostle Paul's teachings as a guide to interpret theology and ethics today. Examining Paul's writings, the authors investigate what they teach about the basic questions of virtue ethics: Who am I? Who do I want to become? And how do I get there? Their intent is not to provide stringent rules, but to awaken discovery and encourage dialogue. The book first considers the concept of virtue ethics, an approach to ethics that emphasizes moral character, and Paul’s ethics in particular. Next, the authors focus on the virtues of faith, love/charity, and hope as treated by Paul and Thomas Aquinas. Closing the book with reflections on the roles of other virtues (and vices) in individual and communal Christian life, the authors discuss various issues in social ethics and sexual morality as they are dealt with in Paul and in Christian virtue ethics today.   “One could not ask for better guides [than] Harrington and Keenan.” ―Theological Studies “Bringing the moral teaching of Paul and contemporary virtue ethics into dialogue with each other, Harrington and Keenan have done what others have only spoken about.” —Frank J. Matera, The Andrew-Kelly-Ryan Professor of Biblical Studies, The Catholic University of America “[A] deeply learned yet broadly accessible volume. . . . [a] perfect book for an introductory course in theological ethics.” —M. Cathleen Kaveny, Darald and Juliet Libby Professor of Law and Theology, Boston College

  AT 37, Irene Gleeson was a broken woman. Her marriage had crumbled, her children were out of control, and she had spiralled into a deep depression.Her life changed when she walked into a small beachside church and encountered God.Ten years later, she was on a plane bound for northern Uganda to rescue war-affected children.Armed with nothing but faith, courage and dogged determination, Irene sold her beach home, said goodbye to family, and hauled her tiny caravan 13,000 kilometres to Kitgum, an isolated community besieged by Joseph Kony and his brutal rebel group, the LRA.Under the shade of a mango tree,"Mama Irene" gathered the children of war and taught them to sing, and read and write by scratching letters in the dust. And then, for the next twenty two years together with the locals, forged a ministry that would transform the lives of thousands of former child soldiers, a work now applauded by the rest of the world. Heart of a Lioness bursts with drama and glows with miracles, a tale that brings Africa's culture and characters to life, capturing the horrors of war, the heartache of poverty, and the healing power of God's love through one woman. This story will captivate your imagination, challenge your beliefs and demonstrate that, regardless of who you are, or where you've come from, with God, anything is possible.
