  It seemed God had gone silent… 
  Haunted by grisly scenes from her past, journalist Ione Stavros needs to heal and recharge. According to its website, the mysterious St. Ninian’s Sanctuary is a perfect place to do that. On an island so far south it’s nearly in Antarctica, the retreat center promises quiet opportunities to meet with God and find refreshment. She prays that’s true, because this is her last hope. 
  Callen came to the island to escape a fatal failure. Working the island farm and hiding in a cabin alone, this former Rocky Mountain search and rescue paramedic prays God will let him stop hearing, even for a moment, screams from his past. He doesn’t expect God to place a woman in his path more broken than he is. He can’t bear to carry her pain along with his own, but every time he turns around, there she is. 
  Together they listen for God’s voice, explore the mysteries of the island, and try to make sense of their lives. It isn’t until danger threatens the entire island that they begin to understand God’s plans for them—apart and together—as well as plans for the island they’ve grown to love. 
   Beneath the Broom Tree is book one in the St. Ninian’s Sanctuary series, contemporary Christian small-town romance with a mysterious island twist.

  The Promise of the Atonement

  Ester Rasband

  The Lord promises victims full restitution and thorough healing. He taught this doctrine to ancient Israel and during his earthly ministry, and he has reaffirmed it in these latter days. The law of Moses is the schoolmaster that holds the key to understanding his promise. It can lead us to valuing the atonement enough to forgive and to feel forgiven. 
  "The mistaken notion that we are required to excuse those who have trespassed against us and that we must discount the pain we have suffered leaves many wounded souls unnecessarily guilt-ridden and comfortless," writes author Ester Rasband. 
  In this important volume, we learn that acceptance of the atonement allows us to forgive those who have wronged us, not because that acceptance is a forfeiture of justice, but because it is the very assurance of it. And justice, as The Promise of the Atonement ultimately shows, means restitution, restoration, and healing for the heavy-laden.

  The Ritual of Transcendental Magic

  Éliphas Lévi

  • 0

  The Ritual of Transcendental Magic was published in 1856. It discusses the actual materials, processes, and settings for conducting ritual magic. The practitioner must purify himself through a temperate diet, regular sleep, and thorough attention to cleaning and hygiene. A complete description of tools like a magical lamp, rod, sword, and dagger follows, leaving the magician well equipped to perform ceremonies and rituals. Levi also added the Tarot to the tools of the magician, which was a new development in the occultism of the time.This work explores the magician’s foundations for his spiritual beliefs, as well as his idea that an elite class of priests would be necessary to lead the people into both social and magical order. He writes, “Occult philosophy seems to have been the nurse and godmother of all intellectual forces, the key of all divine obscurities, and the absolute mistress of society, in those ages when it was exclusively reserved for the education of priests and of kings...Magic is the traditional science of the secrets of Nature which comes to us from the Magi.”Although Levi didn’t enjoy much notoriety during his life, his works eventually became highly influential among other occultists, and he is now considered one of the fathers of modern mysticism. Famous occultist Aleister Crowley even claimed to be Levi himself in one of his past lives, as he was born less than six months after Levi’s death in 1875.
