  In Gnostic John the Baptizer, G. R. S. Mead explores the esoteric role of John the Baptist within early Christian Gnostic traditions, presenting him not merely as a forerunner of Jesus but as a profound mystical teacher in his own right. Drawing from ancient texts and sects such as the Mandeans, Mead reveals how certain Gnostic groups viewed John as a key figure in the transmission of hidden spiritual knowledge. The book includes translations of rare writings that portray John’s teachings on repentance, baptism, cosmic wisdom, and the mysteries of the divine realm. Mead contextualizes these beliefs within broader Gnostic thought, offering insight into alternative early Christian views that emphasize inner transformation and secret doctrine. A valuable resource for those interested in the deeper, often overlooked dimensions of Christian origins.

  The Abadi Family saga begins when a modern-day Romeo and Juliet story between a Palestinian and a Jew ends in predictable tragedy. The family flees to America to mend, but encounters only more turmoil that threatens to tear the family apart. 
   
   
   
  In the wake of the 1967 Six Day War, Tamar Abadi's world collapses when her sister-in-law is killed in what appears to be a terror attack but what is really the result of a secret relationship with a Palestinian poet. Tamar's husband, Salim, is an Arab and a Jew. Torn between the two identities, and mourning his sister's death, he uproots the family and moves them to the US. As Tamar struggles to maintain the integrity of the family's Jewish Israeli identity against the backdrop of the American "melting pot" culture, a Palestinian family moves into the apartment upstairs and she is forced to reckon with her narrow thinking as her daughter falls in love with the Palestinian son. Fearing history will repeat itself, Tamar's determination to separate the two sets into motion a series of events that have the power to destroy her relationship with her daughter, her marriage, and the family she has worked so hard to protect. This powerful debut novel explores Tamar's struggle to keep her family intact, to accept love that is taboo, and grapples with how exile forces us to reshape our identity in ways we could not imagine.
