On My Way To You: At a young age, John Patterson left behind his Colorado home for the adventure and isolation of the Himalayas. But after years spent building his reputation in the climbing circuit, his heroic rescue of an inexperienced climber on Everest results in the loss of his leg. Michelle Bonheur still blames herself for the car accident that killed her husband Adam two years ago. When her best friend Cam convinces her that the two should fulfill Adam's dream of hiking the Himalayas, Michelle reluctantly accepts. As John and Michelle's paths converge in Nepal, they navigate the winding mountain trails together and discover they're not alone in their grief, the guilt they carry, or their attraction to each other. When disaster strikes one morning on the Annapurna circuit, the two wounded souls find themselves in peril, and Michelle makes a decision that will change both of their lives.

The Himalayan: Taken in by the Himalayan Sherpa as a child, Mountaineer Frank Kincaid grew up following the ways of the mountain people. When Sarah Madden came to Nepal in 2011, it was for her son’s expedition, which nearly took his life. Now, Sarah has become part of Frank's world. The lama in Khum Jung calls it destiny. But the lama doesn’t know his part to play in the death of Sarah’s husband twenty-five years ago, or his role in a recent accident on the Everest Icefall. With Sarah getting closer and closer to his heart, he finds himself at the crossroads. But can he come to terms with a fateful decision in his past, to find their future together?

Binod and Sila walk the streets in a desperate attempt to get back their children.

The Pilgrim's Progress

John Bunyan

"I dreamed, and behold, I saw a man clothed with rags, standing in a certain place, with his face from his own house, a book in his hand, and a great burden upon his back."

Follow Christian as he flees the City of Destruction on a perilous journey toward the Celestial City. The Pilgrim's Progress is an immersive adventure that transforms the internal struggles of the human spirit into a tangible, dangerous landscape. From the suffocating mud of the Slough of Despond to the terrifying battle with the demon Apollyon, and from the seductive traps of Vanity Fair to the dark dungeons of Doubting Castle, Christian's path is a masterclass in perseverance. Bunyan's prose—simple, powerful, and deeply moving—makes the quest for a meaningful life feel like a high-stakes epic that resonates with seekers of every generation.

What makes this book a masterpiece is Bunyan's ability to turn abstract concepts into unforgettable characters. You will meet Mr. Worldly Wiseman, Pliable, Faithful, and Hopeful—figures who represent the conflicting voices within us all as we navigate the challenges of morality and conviction.

Though written from a 17th-century Puritan perspective, the "Great Burden" on Christian's back is a universal symbol for the guilt and existential weight that every human seeks to lay down. The moment the burden rolls away at the foot of the Cross remains one of the most iconic scenes in world literature.

The Pilgrim's Progress shaped the English language and the Western imagination for centuries. Its influence can be seen in everything from the works of C.S. Lewis to modern fantasy epics. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of thought, the art of allegory, or the timeless story of an underdog fighting for his soul.

A Christmas Tree

Charles Dickens

Charles John Huffam Dickens (7 February 1812 – 9 June 1870) was an English writer and social critic. He created some of the world's best-known fictional characters and is regarded as the greatest novelist of the Victorian era. His works enjoyed unprecedented popularity during his lifetime, and by the twentieth century critics and scholars had recognised him as a literary genius. His novels and short stories enjoy lasting popularity.
I have been looking on, this evening, at a merry company of children assembled round that pretty German toy, a Christmas Tree. The tree was planted in the middle of a great round table, and towered high above their heads. It was brilliantly lighted by a multitude of little tapers; and everywhere sparkled and glittered with bright objects. There were rosy–cheeked dolls, hiding behind the green leaves; and there were real watches (with movable hands, at least, and an endless capacity of being wound up) dangling from innumerable twigs; there were French–polished tables, chairs, bedsteads, wardrobes, eight–day clocks, and various other articles of domestic furniture (wonderfully made, in tin, at Wolverhampton), perched among the boughs, as if in preparation for some fairy housekeeping; there were jolly, broad–faced little men, much more agreeable in appearance than many real men—and no wonder, for their heads took off, and showed them to be full of sugar–plums; there were fiddles and drums; there were tambourines, books, work–boxes, paint–boxes, sweetmeat–boxes, peep–show boxes, and all kinds of boxes; there were trinkets for the elder girls, far brighter than any grown–up gold and jewels; there were baskets and pincushions in all devices; there were guns, swords, and banners; there were witches standing in enchanted rings of pasteboard, to tell fortunes; there were teetotums, humming–tops, needle–cases, pen–wipers, smelling–bottles, conversation–cards, bouquet–holders; real fruit, made artificially dazzling with gold leaf; imitation apples, pears, and walnuts, crammed with surprises; in short, as a pretty child, before me, delightedly whispered to another pretty child, her bosom friend, “There was everything, and more.”
