  Japan, 1825: Low-ranking samurai Uchida Tomonosuke is a devotee of the way of manly love, but he has never pledged himself to another man. Until one day he accidentally crosses paths with Ichi, a beautiful blind masseur who challenges everything he thought he knew about love between men. 
  Ichi is independent and confident, but his blindness means he is considered a non-person in the rigid social hierarchy. Tomonosuke is torn between his passion for this elegant young man, and the expectations of his rank. Not to mention his obligation to his unhappy wife, Okyo. But when betrayal and natural disasters strike, it is Ichi who holds the key to saving Tomonosuke's life. 
  This vivid, meticulously researched novel depicts unconventional lives during the first half of the 19th century in Edo--the city that would become Tokyo. Step into a world in which the gay-straight binary doesn't exist, where androgyny in both men and women is celebrated. This thoroughly researched historical novel presents a realistic, deeply moving view of samurai, geisha, Japanese culture, and disability. It's also a steamy, explicit gay love story that knowingly bends the m-m romance genre.

  Some studies report that the average person experiences about 60,000 thoughts a day and eighty percent of them are negative in nature.  Journey’s fictional stories, embedded in Jewish and Roman history, are intended to help flip your script inside a new angle on an old story.   Listen with a fresh ear to Father’s voice through the Spirit’s power coming from Jesus’ mouth.    The classic hero’s journey is shaped like a checkmark—medium to low and high at the end.  Stories in this third volume of four in Jesus’ Silent Years are at the bottom of the checkmark.   These low points are the furnace that shaped his character more than any of the other books in this novel series.  Spoiler alert—Jesus is imprisoned, abused by willful excess and absence, and depressed.  This Son of Man is tempted and tried in all points as we are.  Embedded in these old stories is a training manual for how to live wisely in today’s world regardless of your faith, or lack of it.

  When the New Mexico territory is annexed by the United States in the mid-1800's, the Catholic Church decides it is time to re-assert its authority in the region which, due to centuries of neglect, is now a haven for corrupt priests. The Vatican chooses Father Jean Marie Latour, a French Jesuit living in Ohio, to accomplish this task and, soon after elevating him to bishop, sends him on his journey into the Wild West.  What follows is an epic, forty year tale of hardship, challenge and triumph as Bishop Latour slowly makes his way to Santa Fe, enduring bitter cold and blistering heat, battles corruption in the new territory and, ultimately, wins the respect of the people of Santa Fe and brings order to the Church in New Mexico.   Hailed as a triumph when it was released in 1927, Willa Cather's "Death Comes for the Archbishop" has become a beloved literary classic and it is presented here in its original and unabridged format.
