  Overcome with mental anguish, Monica A. Coleman's great-grandfather had his two young sons pull the chair out from beneath him when he hanged himself. That noose remained tied to a rafter in the shed, where it hung above the heads of his eight children who played there for years to come. 
   
   
   
  As it had for generations before her, a heaviness hung over Monica throughout her young life. As an adult, this rising star in the academy saw career successes often fueled by the modulated highs of undiagnosed Bipolar II Disorder, as she hid deep depression that even her doctors skimmed past in disbelief. Serendipitous encounters with Black intellectuals like Henry Louis Gates Jr., Angela Davis, and Renita Weems were countered by long nights of stark loneliness. Only as Coleman began to face her illness was she able to live honestly and faithfully in the world. And in the process, she discovered a new and liberating vision of God. 
   
   
   
  Written in crackling prose, Monica's spiritual autobiography examines her long dance with trauma, depression, and the threat of death in light of the legacies of slavery, war, sharecropping, poverty, and alcoholism that masked her family history of mental illness for generations.

  Mother of Invention - Mother...

  There is nothing conventional about the life and religious journey of Grace Costin. After a family tragedy caused her to reject God, she began on the long path back to faith through pioneering social work, a solo journey across the United States and a brief interlude as one of the first women police officers. Following a fleeting ministry as Sister Teresa in the Order of St Anne, she met the charismatic priest Bernard Walke, with whom she formed a loving but combative working partnership before experiencing a calling to create a religious Order unlike any that had existed before. Her quest took her from remote parishes in Cornwall to the slums of Paisley, an inner-city parish in 1930s London and the Isle of Wight until finally she found what she was searching for in the personal ads of the Daily Telegraph—a “Typical Thatched Devon farmhouse”.
  
   
  And so in the middle of the Second World War, aged 54 with a heart condition and no money, she set out to transform the run-down house in a remote corner of Devon into the Community she had dreamed of for so long. With the help of a series of remarkable women she had attracted along the way, she created Posbury St Francis—a community, not a convent, with sisters, not nuns, and a Mother, but not a Mother Superior.
  
   
  Mother of Invention is the story of how a woman, the daughter of a bigamous marriage, with no money, connections or academic background, founded her own religious Order which, at its height, was visited by over 2,000 people a year.

  Esto Es Mi Cuerpo

  Una reciente encuesta del Pew Forum reveló la alarmante cifra de que el 69% de los Católicos no cree en la Presencia Real de Cristo en la Eucaristía. Para la mayoría de los Católicos en la actualidad, la Eucaristía es meramente un símbolo de Cristo, y la Misa es meramente una colectividad de personas que piensan parecido que se reúne a recordar su vida. Esto evidencia un desastre espiritual porque la Eucaristía es “la fuente y culmen de la vida Cristiana”. En respuesta a esta crisis, el Obispo Robert Barron, entonces el Presidente del Comité sobre Evangelización y Catequesis de la Conferencia de Obispos Católicos de los Estados Unidos, comenzó a trabajar con sus hermanos obispos en una solución. De estas conversaciones surgió el Avivamiento Eucarístico Nacional.Esto es Mi Cuerpo: Un Llamado a un Resurgimiento Eucarístico tiene el propósito de acompañar este resurgimiento. En este texto breve pero revelador, el Obispo Barron ofrece un análisis tripartito de la Eucaristía como comida sagrada, sacrificio y Presencia Real, ayudando a los lectores a comprender el sacramento del Cuerpo y Sangre de Jesús más minuciosamente para que puedan enamorarse de él más completamente. Descubra la verdad profunda que brota de las palabras de Jesús en la Última Cena: “Tomen y coman, esto es mi Cuerpo . . . Beban todos de ella, porque esta es mi Sangre, la Sangre de la Alianza”.

  The Mahabharata, one of India's most cherished epics, has fascinated generations. The age-old saga of warring cousins-the valiant Pandavas and the formidable Kauravas-has left an indelible mark on our collective imagination. Yet, beneath the stories of valour and villainy lie complex human emotions that challenge our ideas about 'good' and 'evil'. Can the virtuous always conquer the malevolent? Are the Kauravas truly the embodiment of darkness, while the Pandavas exude righteousness? Does Dharma triumph in the end? 
  In Dwapar Katha: Mahabharat kii Gathayen, Sudipta Bhawmik delves deep into the intricacies of human nature as he explores the psyches of an eclectic cast of characters, unearthing their motivations and desires. He immerses us in their ceaseless inner struggles on a battlefield more profound than Kurukshetra. Feel the seething anger of Bheem as he rages against the silent Yudhishtir during Draupadi's disrobing and grieve with Duroyadhan when he loses his dear friend Karna in the war. Explore the concepts of Dharma and Karma along with the Pandavas, as Sudipta unearths age-old tales of the Vana Parva, where rishis share life lessons with the exiled Pandavas. 
  Rooted in Sudipta's immensely popular podcast, which has recorded over 20 million downloads, Dwapar Katha is a delight to read. The captivating prose and stunning illustrations breathe new life into this timeless tale where darkness and light intertwine and heroes are often indistinguishable from villains. The Mahabharata has never been more enchanting, thought-provoking and alive.
