    What if early Christian “heretics” preserved alternative visions of Jesus—Jewish, purely gracious, or prophetically inspired—before official orthodoxy took shape? 
    This anthology presents fragments of the Ebionites’ Jewish-Christian gospel, Marcion’s radical canon, and oracles from the Montanist “New Prophecy.” Updated for modern readers, these texts reveal communities that clashed with mainstream leaders yet influenced the theology, worship, and scriptural boundaries we take for granted today. 
    Included Texts:Gospel of the Ebionites & Fragments of Jewish-Christian SectsMarcion’s Edited Luke & Pauline Summaries (Patristic Reconstructions)Montanist Oracles – Priscilla and Maximilla’s prophecies.Epistle of the Apostles & Patristic Excerpts – Early refutations and context. 
    What You’ll Discover Inside:A More Jewish Jesus? – Ebionite dietary laws, rejection of sacrifice, the role of the Torah.Marcion’s God of Pure Grace – A stark divide from the “inferior” Old Testament creator.Prophetic Frenzy vs. Church Order – Montanist oracles challenging hierarchical authority.The Formation of the Canon – How these debates forced decisions on scripture and doctrine. 
    Meet the “heretics” who shaped orthodoxy by forcing early Christianity to define its boundaries. Consider their provocative ideas—and why they ultimately lost favor.

    Things in Nature Merely Grow

    Yiyun Li’s remarkable, defiant work of radical acceptance as she considers the loss of her son James.“There is no good way to say this,” Yiyun Li writes at the beginning of this audiobook.“There is no good way to state these facts, which must be acknowledged. My husband and I had two children and lost them both: Vincent in 2017, at sixteen, James in 2024, at nineteen. Both chose suicide, and both died not far from home.”There is no good way to say this—because words fall short. It takes only an instant for death to become fact, “a single point in a timeline.” Living now on this single point, Li turns to thinking and reasoning and searching for words that might hold a place for James. Li does what she can: “doing the things that work,” including not just writing but gardening, reading Camus and Wittgenstein, learning the piano, and living thinkingly alongside death.This is an audiobook for James, but it is not an audiobook about grieving or mourning. As Li writes, “The verb that does not die is to be. Vincent was and is and will always be Vincent. James was and is and will always be James. We were and are and will always be their parents. There is no now and then, now and later, only, now and now and now and now.” Things in Nature Merely Grow is a testament to Li’s indomitable spirit. A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

    Andrée Griotteray was nineteen when the Germans invaded France and occupied Paris, where she worked as a clerk in the passport office. When her younger brother, Alain, created a resistance network named Orion, Andrée joined his efforts, secretly typing up and printing copies of an underground newspaper, and stealing ID cards which allowed scores of Jewish citizens to escape persecution. 
     
     
     
    Charming and pretty, Andrée nimbly avoided the unwanted attentions of German officers, even as she secretly began working as an undercover courier. Displaying fearlessness in the face of immense pressure, she traveled throughout the county delivering vital intelligence destined for France's allies—until the day she was betrayed and arrested. Throughout her ordeal, Andrée stayed composed, refusing to inform on her comrades. Before she was set free, she even duped her interrogators into revealing who had betrayed Orion, and continued her underground activities until France's liberation. 
     
     
     
    Weaving in diary entries, letters, and conversations, Andrée's daughter, Francelle, brings a uniquely personal slant to her mother's story. The Paris Girl reveals the narrow escapes and moments of terror, the daily acts of bravery and defiance, and the extraordinary courage displayed by Andrée and so many of her contemporaries, that helped turned the tide of war.
