  Lust is a man's problem, right? Wrong. When we see lust as an exclusively male issue, it leaves Christian women with nowhere to turn when they struggle with the same things. They suffer silently and feel like they will never be free. 
   
  Jessica Harris has been there, and she has made it her mission to break the silence, banish the shame, and bring women's struggles into the light of God's grace and forgiveness. She understands that when you suffer in silence, you are building a wall of shame between yourself and God that God does not desire for you. In this authentic and honest book, she shows women a road map for restoration that answers the question "Is there grace left for me?" with a resounding and emphatic "Yes!" 
   
  For any woman who desires to escape the pull of lust, pornography, and sexual shame, this book is a refreshing drink of water that will quench the fire within and point the way toward freedom.

  A Catholic Pilgrimage through...

  Historian Kevin Schmiesing takes you to more than two-dozen sites and events that symbolize and embody America's rich and sometimes tumultuous Catholic past, including the Santa Fe Trail, Gettysburg, and the Bourbon Trail. You'll also meet both famous and infamous Catholics—including Augustus Tolton, Dr. Samuel Mudd, and Frances Cabrini—who impacted our nation's history. 
   
   
   
  The idea for A Catholic Pilgrimage through American History came from Schmiesing's mother, he says. She turned every childhood vacation into a pilgrimage, purposely inserting religious sites into the family's journey to places such as Niagara Falls, Washington, DC, or Myrtle Beach. 
   
   
   
  Catholics have been part of the American experiment since the beginning—in founding the colonies and expanding the west, building education and health care systems, abolishing slavery, fighting on the front lines, and advancing science, technology, and space exploration. Each of the twenty-seven sites on Schmiesing's virtual itinerary—including, the Washington Monument, Wounded Knee Creek, the University of Notre Dame, and Mission San Diego de Alcalá—transports you to a significant time in US history and connects the dots to our Catholic heritage. You will meet notable Catholics such as John F. Kennedy, Black Elk, and Katharine Drexel, and learn more about their contributions to history.

  There is something about the number 3.    
   
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
   
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
   
  From their pens to your your ears.

  Why is it that so many Christians read these as metaphors: 
  "The Whore of Babylon" (Revelation 17:5) 
  "Pluck out your eye" (Matthew 5:29) 
  "Strain a gnat, swallow a camel" (Matthew 23:24) 
  "Salt of the Earth" (Matthew 5:13) 
  "Living Stones" (1 Peter 2:5) 
  "A Thorn in the Flesh" (2 Corinthians 12:7) 
  "The Lamb of God" (John 1:29) 
  While reading these literally: 
  "The Lake of Fire" (Revelation 20:14-15) 
  "Unquenchable Fire" (Matthew 3:12) 
  "Weeping and Gnashing of Teeth" (Matthew 8:12) 
  "Worm That Never Dies" (Mark 9:48) 
  "Furnace of Fire" (Matthew 13:42) 
  "Outer Darkness" (Matthew 22:13) 
  "Fire and Brimstone" (Revelation 21:8) 
  While my 340-page book, HELL: A Jewish Perspective on a Christian Doctrine, has received tremendous reviews, I understand that not everyone has the time to read such a lengthy work. So, if you’re looking for answers, this new, concise, standalone book focuses on the "hellfire verses" in the Bible, examining them within their original Jewish context. This small book is an excerpt (Part III) from my 2024 book on Hell, created especially for those with limited time! 
  In this short 140-page book, we will journey through Bible verses that Fundamentalists believe reference the Eternal Conscious Torment view of hell (aka "Hellfire"; an abusive physical, mental, and emotional punishment that lasts forever). The book will provide an easy-to-read, contextualized commentary to refute the popular Augustinian-Calvinistic view. We will also explore the meanings of four distinct Hebrew and Greek words frequently translated as "hell" in English.
