  The Blurred Cross - A Writer's...

  In early 2022, esteemed New Testament scholar Richard Bauckham nearly lost his ability to read--an alarming prospect for a man who considers reading, writing, and scholarly work to be his vocation from God. Despite it being one of the most difficult times of his life, it was also a period in which Bauckham felt closest to God. 
   
  In this beautifully written book, Bauckham combines memoir, theological and biblical reflection, and poetry to offer profound insight into God's providence amid life's difficulties. He discusses relevant aspects of his earlier life, delves into the time when his eyesight began to deteriorate, and reflects on issues that arose during that period. The book also includes generous amounts of Bauckham's own poetry. 
   
  Throughout his experience, Bauckham maintained a close relationship with God and drew nearer to him. His journey with God during this time led him to contemplate God's purpose for his life and how he can live in a way that reflects his overwhelming sense of gratitude. He shares his story as a way of encouraging others in their own unique walk with God.

  The Glories of the Sacred HeartBy Cardinal Henry Edward Manning · Published by TAN BooksOverviewIn The Glories of the Sacred Heart, Cardinal Henry Edward Manning presents one of the most profound dogmatic defenses of devotion to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus ever written. Rather than approaching the Sacred Heart merely through sentiment, Manning grounds the devotion firmly in the dogma of the Incarnation and the worship due to the Sacred Humanity of Christ. In doing so, he unites devotion to the Sacred Heart with devotion to the Blessed Sacrament, echoing the insistence of Saint Margaret Mary that these mysteries cannot be separated.Manning argues that authentic devotion flows from rightly understood doctrine. When divine truth is grasped in its fullness, it ignites love. In an age marked by spiritual coldness and superficial faith, this work calls the reader back to a deep personal relationship with Christ, the Divine Master, whose Heart remains the center of all dogma and the source of all true charity.Discover how the devotion to the Sacred Heart is rooted in the dogma of the Incarnation.Understand why true devotion must flow from solid theological foundations.Explore the transforming power of the Sacred Heart in the Christian soul.Learn the intimate connection between the Sacred Heart and the Blessed Sacrament.Deepen your personal love for Christ through doctrinal clarity and spiritual depth.From the Book“I believe firmly that when divine truth is fully understood it generates devotion; that one cause of shallowness in the spiritual life is a superficial apprehension of the dogma of the Incarnation; and that one divine purpose in the institution and diffusion of the devotion of the Sacred Heart, in these last times, is to reawaken in the minds of men the consciousness of their personal relation to a Divine Master.”— Cardinal Henry Edward ManningIntended AudienceIdeal for clergy, seminarians, theology students, and lay faithful seeking a deeper doctrinal foundation for their spiritual life. Especially suited for those devoted to Eucharistic adoration, the Sacred Heart, and the renewal of authentic Catholic piety rooted in dogma.FAQsIs this book primarily devotional or theological?It is theological in foundation, focusing on the dogmatic basis of devotion, yet it powerfully stirs the heart toward deeper love of Christ.What topics are covered in the book?The ten chapters address themes such as the Divine Glory of the Sacred Heart, Dogma as the Source of Devotion, the Transforming Power of the Sacred Heart, the Signs of the Sacred Heart, and the Eternal Glory of the Sacred Heart.Key ThemesThe Sacred Heart as the center of all dogmaThe Incarnation as the foundation of devotionThe transforming charity flowing from Christ’s Sacred Humanity

  In the wild mountains of the Montana Territory, the Coulter ranch is a place of family, loyalty, a hidden fortune…and a bride he can’t remember marrying.  Jude Coulter is far more comfortable in his family’s sapphire mine tucked in the Montana mountains than on the bustling streets of New York City, where he’s been sent to deliver a shipment of gems. His relief at boarding the train for the first leg of his journey home is short-lived when an accident renders him unconscious.  Angela Larkin worked hard to earn this assignment for the Treasury—an undercover mission to determine the source of the sapphires brought each year for auction in the city. When an accident causes her target to lose his recent memory, Angela jumps at the opportunity to create the ideal ruse. Jude seems surprised to learn the two of them had married and were returning from a glorious wedding trip, but his severe head injury keeps him from protesting…for now.  But the accident is far from the worst threat they face. When enemies close in, Angela and Jude must depend on each other to survive the treacherous journey home. As the danger mounts, so too does an attraction neither of them anticipated. But can their love withstand the revelation of their tangled beginnings?  From a USA Today bestselling author comes a mountain family saga filled with a pretend marriage, amnesia, undercover agents, and a love worth treasuring far more than riches.
