  "As a major fan and promoter of Julian of Norwich, whom I call 'my favorite mystic', it is genuinely exciting to find such a faithful but freeing translation of Julian's long-lost Showings. Now they are no longer lost—for anyone!"—Fr. Richard Rohr, O.F.M., Center for Action and Contemplation 
   In this contemporary translation of one of the most beloved and influential mystical texts of all time, Julian of Norwich: The Showings brings the message and spirituality of this 14th-century mystic to 21st-century readers. Revelations of Divine Love, the first book published in English attributed to a woman, is also included.  
   Julian of Norwich, a contemporary of Geoffrey Chaucer, was an English anchoress in East Anglia. At the age of 30, suffering from a severe illness and believing she was on her deathbed, Julian had a series of intense visions of Jesus, which she recorded and then expanded on later in her life. In her visions, God was not angry and wrathful. Instead, the three properties of God were presented as life, love, and light, and all of His creation was good, including his servant, man. In Julian's version, man is not to blame for his sin; sin is something that he must experience and overcome in his spiritual journey with God.  
   Her message for today's readers is simply this: 
  She reveals the feminine face of the Divine and reminds us to see God there.All our failings are an opportunity to learn and grow; they should be honored, but not dwelled upon.God's love has nothing to do with love and retribution and everything to do with love and compassion.In spite of all appearances, all is well. This book contains some of the most profound spiritual writing ever written and remains a perennial favorite among Christians. 
   This book was previously published as The Showings of Julian of Norwich. This new edition includes a foreword by Richard Rohr, author of Falling Upwards.

  Reconciling - A Lifelong...

  It's taken most of Larry Grant's long life for his extraordinary heritage to be appreciated. He was born in a hop field outside Vancouver in 1936, the son of a Musqueam cultural leader and an immigrant from a village in Guangdong, China. In 1940, when the Indian agent discovered that their mother had married a non-status man, Larry and his two siblings were stripped of their status. With one stroke of the pen, they were disenfranchised—no longer recognized as Indigenous. 
   
  Reconciling is a series of conversations between Larry and writer Scott Steedman as they visit pivotal geographical places together. Larry tells the story of his life, including his thoughts on reconciliation and the path forward for First Nations and Canada. His life echoes the barely known story of Vancouver and spans key events of the last two centuries, including Chinese immigration and the Head Tax, the ravages of residential school and now Indigenous revival and the accompanying change in worldview. 
   
  When Larry talks about reconciliation, he uses the verb reconciling, an ongoing, unfinished process we're all going through. "I have been reconciling my whole life, with my inner self," he explains. "To not belong was forced upon me by the colonial society that surrounded me. But reconciling with myself is part of all that."

  The Fall of Saigon - End of the...

  In the final phase of the Vietnam War, North Vietnam’s military strategy shifted into high gear. Following the 1973 Paris Peace Accords, which led to the withdrawal of U.S. troops, the North Vietnamese leadership viewed the South as vulnerable and unprotected. They seized this opportunity to begin a calculated and aggressive push toward Saigon. With the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) leading the offensive, key cities and regions across South Vietnam began to fall in rapid succession. Unlike earlier phases of the war, which were marked by a slow grind of guerrilla warfare and jungle battles, this stage saw well-coordinated, large-scale military campaigns. The North's confidence was bolstered by the perception that American military support would not return in a meaningful way. 
  This advance was not just a military endeavor—it was psychological. Each victory in the North’s campaign chipped away at the morale of South Vietnamese forces. Soldiers deserted in droves, supplies were stretched thin, and leadership at the local and national levels began to falter under pressure. In places like Ban Me Thuot and Pleiku, the speed of the North's takeover stunned both local populations and the South Vietnamese military, who had grown reliant on U.S. support during prior conflicts. Fear and confusion spread among civilians, many of whom began fleeing their homes in anticipation of the advancing northern troops. 
  The North Vietnamese did not rely on brute force alone. They combined strategic military planning with psychological operations to deepen the sense of inevitable defeat among South Vietnamese soldiers and citizens. Leaflets and radio broadcasts promised fair treatment to those who surrendered and warned of dire consequences for those who resisted. The result was an erosion of will more powerful than any bombing campaign. Defenses crumbled not only because of lack of resources, but because of fear and fatigue.
