  Three great nonfiction works from the Nobel Prize–winning, Catholic, French author of Thérèse Desqueyroux.Saint Margaret of CortonaFor François Mauriac, Saint Margaret of Cortona became a source of fascination and solace during the Nazi occupation of France. During that time, feeling himself and all his countrymen to be among the downtrodden, he wrote this biography of the thirteenth-century Italian penitent who would become the patron saint of the homeless . . .Born in 1247 to a farming family in a small village outside Perugia, Margaret of Cortona was willful and reckless in her youth. At age seventeen, she became a wealthy man’s mistress—even bearing his son out of wedlock. But her life of sin ended when she found her lover murdered.Devoting herself to prayer and penance, Margaret eventually joined the Third Order of St. Francis and took a vow of poverty. She established a hospital for the poor and homeless at Cortona. On divine command, she challenged her own bishop for his lavish and warlike lifestyle. Canonized by Pope Benedict XIII in 1728, she became a patron saint of the downtrodden, including the falsely accused, homeless, orphaned, and mentally ill, as well as midwives, penitents, single mothers, reformed prostitutes, and third children.Letters on Art and LiteratureIn this collection of letters, Mauriacshares fascinating insights through correspondence with Albert Camus, Jean Cocteau, and other authors, artists, intellectuals, as well as the readers of his various articles and columns. The letters delve into a variety of topics—from the death of Georges Bernanos to the correspondence between Paul Claudel and Andre Gide, and the Routier youth movement.Proust’s Way The thinking and suffering of the author of Remembrance of Things Past are intimately exposed in these letters to Mauriac.

  Happy birthday dear Mom- Grammy, Tora, Auntie, Happy birthday to you!” The people that fill my screen – each in their own little box – sing and smile once more before disappearing, one by one. Blowing them kisses I say, “Thank you all. I love you!” As I reflect on this sixty-fifth birthday of mine, filled with the forced distances of our pandemic era, the phone rings, jarring me back into the moment. “Hello Billy,” I say.                                                                      “Hey, Tor.” My cousin’s tone is serious. His words clipped.“What’s going on? Everyone okay?” I ask.“Yes, we’re fine but… well, I was just driving by your Uncle Einar’s place… I hate to tell you this, Tora, but somebody broke in. The sheriff is coming out in the morning. It’s quite a mess in there. Looks like every drawer and cupboard was emptied out.”Uncle Einar’s home stands empty much of the year, and is the original family homestead my grandparents built in Solbakken, Minnesota, in the early 1900’s after immigrating from Norway. “What? Are you kidding? Who would do that?” I spout. “You need me to come up there?” A house. A mess. A mystery. Amongst the scattered papers and photographs, intriguing questions lay unanswered in the Anderson family lineage, hidden for decades. When a stash of ancient coins is found, and a gifted stranger moves in next door, windows are opened to incredible possibilities that transcend imagination and transport Tora throughout her family’s generations.

  God’s Epic Plan of Redemption -...

  God’s Eye-Opening Plan for All Creation is Rooted in Israel 
  In this Bible overview, Charles Shefler outlines God’s entire plan, from start to eternal finish, showing how all nations will be redeemed through Israel and the Jewish Messiah, Yeshua (Jesus). Its simple, everyday language will help you better understand the Bible, as well as Israel's vital role in the things to come.  
  The Gentile church doesn’t historically see the special, important, and distinct place of Israel in the scriptures, prophecies, and biblical events, that will lead to the very salvation, redemption of the world, and blessing of all nations in accordance with the promise God made to Abraham. In large measure most Christians are unaware of who the real Jewish Jesus is, and the vital role that Israel plays in God’s Plan for the redemption of the world. The in-grafted branches of the Gentile church do not support its Jewish root; the root supports the branches. You may be surprised, as the author was, to discover that Jesus and most of his disciples were Jewish, the church was started by the Jews, and most Jews of Jesus’ day actually believed that Jesus was the Jewish Messiah.  
  This Bible overview will prepare you to move forward in truth with a renewed sense of purpose, faith and hope for the future. You’ll meet the real Jewish Jesus, Yeshua, and have a profound experience of God’s love for you, and safety under His wing. You will stand unshaken in the knowledge that God has a plan to prosper us and not to harm us, not only for the world, but also for you. 
  This book is a must read for Christians wanting to know how and why Israel is so important to God, to partner in His world plan of redemption, and to be well-prepared for the end times and things to come.
