Synopsis

In "De Profundis," Oscar Wilde unfurls a poignant letter penned during his imprisonment, offering a profound exploration of love, suffering, and redemption. Written in rich, lyrical prose, Wilde distills his tumultuous experiences into a meditation on the transformative power of adversity. The work is deeply embedded within the context of late Victorian society, reflecting Wilde's personal battles with societal norms and his quest for individuality amidst profound existential despair. Infused with references to classical literature and Christian mysticism, Wilde's letter oscillates between bitterness and philosophical acceptance, making it a compelling example of his literary genius. Oscar Wilde (1854-1900), celebrated for his flamboyant wit and socially incisive works, faced a scandalous downfall that precipitated his two-year imprisonment. His experiences in prison profoundly affected his worldview, leading him to reevaluate his relationship with art, morality, and his own identity. "De Profundis" serves as both a reckoning with his past and a sincere expression of love for his former muse, Lord Alfred Douglas, showcasing Wilde's emotional depth and intellectual rigor. This remarkable work is essential for readers seeking to understand the intersection of art and life, suffering and salvation. Wilde's eloquence and insight render "De Profundis" not merely a letter, but a timeless exploration of the human condition, making it an invaluable addition to literary and philosophical discourse.

    "Are you sure you won't consider a reduction?"
    
    The monitor beeps.
    
    
    Christin Rosa is propped up on pillows in a hospital maternity ward. She's nearly nine months pregnant and about to give birth to twins, yet she knows that one of them likely won't survive. She and her husband, Mauricio, have been advised to reduce . . . to terminate . . . to abort "Baby A"—the tiny boy inside her—but the Rosas have decided to fight for their son's life.
    
    
    The last several months have felt like waiting for a roller coaster ride to begin, and now the Rosas are preparing for the inevitable plunge they have no way of stopping. They didn't choose to board this ride, and they would certainly get off if they could, but they trust that God is with them. Christin and Mauricio have no choice but to cling tightly to their faith and to each other, uttering desperate prayers for help and hoping that somehow they'll make it through.
    
    This testimony of trusting God and overcoming medical odds includes:
    - A real-life photo insert featuring the Rosa family,
    - inspirational, true story-driven discipleship content
    - practical life-affirming resources and guidance regarding the issue of abortion and the value of human life
    Now they're headed to the operating room, where a team of medical specialists is standing by. It's time to have these babies. Let the ride begin.

    A ruthless Viking warrior who named his most prized battle weapon after the Norse goddess of death, Olav Haraldsson and his mercenaries wrought terror and destruction from the Baltic to Galicia in the early eleventh century. Thousands were put to the sword, enslaved, or ransomed. In England, Canterbury was sacked, its archbishop murdered, and London Bridge pulled down. The loot amassed from years of plunder helped Olav win the throne of Norway, and a century after his death he was proclaimed "Eternal King" and has been a national hero there ever since. 
     
     
     
    Despite his bloodthirsty beginnings, Olav converted to Christianity and, in a personal vendetta against the old Norse gods, made Norway Christian too, thereby changing irrevocably the Viking world he was born into. Told with reference to Norse sagas, early chronicles, and the work of modern scholars, Desmond Seward paints an intensely vivid and colorful portrait of the life and times of arguably the greatest Viking of them all.

    John F. Kennedy was the 35th President of the United States as President and the country's youngest and first Catholic leader. His singularity foreshadowed a sort of challenge to his presidency from the start. Many people were taken aback by his assassination. It was the height of the Cold War and the United States' involvement in Vietnam. John F. Kennedy was elected President on January 20, 1961, by a razor-thin margin of 113,000 votes out of 69 million against his Republican opponent, Richard Nixon2. He was almost immediately confronted with the Cuban missile crisis, which he handled carefully, allowing him to defuse tensions and avert war. This immediately helped to establish a new image for him, which is still held in high regard today.  
    On November 22, 1963, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, President of the United States of America, was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. Since nearly 50 years after President John F. Kennedy's assassination, much speculation, theory, and movement have existed. The only remaining mystery from the previous century appears to be this one.
