The Rich Fool

One who was in the crowds came to Jesus and said, “Teacher, speak to my brother so that he will share the inheritance with me.”

Jesus then said, “Be aware of covetousness. You must know that a man’s life does not consist of the number of possessions he has.”

Believed

Michael James Emberger

Kelsea Jones is like a lot of girls at the University of Northern Minnesota. She has a boyfriend, she works at a coffee shop, and she’s on the swim team. But she’s not a girl. She’s a mermaid.
Trouble brews when star hockey player Chad Andersen takes an interest in her. She tries to avoid him, but he won’t leave her alone. A son of wealth and privilege, he takes what he wants, and he gets away with it. He wants Kelsea, she says no, and so he rapes her. Kelsea stands on a tail and two fins to fight the most painful trial of her life. Despite her trauma and a crisis of faith, she speaks the truth of what Chad did, but will she be believed?
A note from the author:
1 out of 4 college girls experiences rape or sexual assault. That breaks my heart. It’s a crime that has affected people I love, and it has to stop. This novel is my way of raising awareness and showing survivors that someone hears them.
Believed is a product of my friendship with a survivor who is an author and advocate. She opened my eyes to a world of trauma and PTSD that had been largely invisible to me before I met her, and it was life-changing. I needed to share that with others. The burden on my heart was too great to not say something, and fiction is the method I know best to convey the thoughts, truths, pains, and struggles that I see.
Sexual assault is not my story. I haven’t experienced it, I don’t live with the resulting trauma, and I do not wish to profit from the pain of survivors. This is a book for them. It’s a book for those who love them. It’s a book to encourage readers to think and to empathize and to consider the realities of so many whose lives have been affected by this crime.

Novena to the Holy Spirit -...

St. Alphonsus Liguori

From Slaying Dragons Press Classics, this reprint of Novena to the Holy Spirit includes an introduction about the Church’s high esteem for this great Doctor of the Church.
~~~
Our hearts have become the altars of God upon which He desires that the “fire of His divine love,” should always be burning. It is for this reason that the Eternal Father was not satisfied with sending only His eternal Son to us, but longed to send to us the Holy Spirit as well, that He might dwell in our souls “and keep them constantly on fire with love.”
St. Alphonsus said, “Love is also called dew, because it cools the heart of bad passions and of temptations. Therefore the Holy Ghost is also called refreshment and cooling in the heat. This dew descends into our hearts in the time of prayer.” By this reliance upon the action of the Holy Spirit, St. Alphonsus teaches that every disordered passion of ours will be appeased, and we will come to know that peace of God which surpasses all understanding.
These insights of St. Alphonsus Liguori are among the many which fill this book. They are sure to awaken in the reader, and in particular the one who prays through this Novena, a deep desire to do God’s will that this divine fire may be always burning in his soul.
St. Alphonsus Liguori (1696 – 1787), was a zealous missionary, exemplary bishop, miracle worker, and prolific writer whose praises were sung by the whole Church during his life and after his death. Following his departure from this world, the Pope was inundated with requests to list St. Alphonsus Liguori among the great Doctors of the Church, an honor which his writings, capturing the hearts of all who take hold of them, testify he is worthy. The two works presented here are just a small part of the great writings he has left to the Church.
