My only remaining marriage prospects were the head gardener, the vicar, and the steward. But how could I marry any of them when I was in love . . . with Lord Brookhaven?

Charlotte Robbins accepts a governess position for the Earl of Brookhaven's siblings despite rumors of the earl's severe and mysterious demeanor. As a lowly governess, Charlotte entertains thoughts of possible romance with an eligible servant until she does fall unexpectedly in love--with the pensive earl himself.

But love does not mean a match is possible, and the earl's friends warn Charlotte that if he were to fall for her, it would ruin him.

Consecrated Celibacy - A Fresh...

Christine Barnabas

Christians who feel drawn to remain unmarried but know that life in a religious order is not for them often face the challenge of identifying, naming and responding to their vocation, both within and outside traditional church life.

 
Christine Barnabas takes a fresh look at consecrated celibacy, a calling she believes experiences a new lease of life on the edges of the institutional church. Reflecting on her own journey and encounters with others, she explores the biblical affirmation of the single life and the many ways consecrated celibacy has been expressed throughout history.

 
This book will be a welcome resource for many who want to discern their calling to a committed and meaningful life before God. Christine Barnabas explores some of the questions that need to be asked, how to come to a decision and make a vow to stay single out of love for God and live out this calling “in the world”. It will also be helpful for spiritual directors, priests and pastors who accompany others on this journey or seek to deepen their own understanding about this ancient charism God continues to give to the Body of Christ.

Reason and Revelation

Gopi Krishna

This is a work which challenges the agnostic and atheistic attitudes of modern science. As Gopi Krishna assesses the situation, “I know that Revelation has been right in predicting a glorious spiritual destiny for mankind and Reason has been grievously wrong. The marvels of technology we see around us, beyond a certain limit that has been passed, can become a prison for the evolving human mind.” He asserts that, in order to progress in a healthy way, science must free itself of the self-imposed, rigid and closed-minded attitudes that have limited its scope of investigation into non-physical realms of creation.
