Seven friends, seven different personalities. They work and play together, never actively searching for love. However, love comes when one least expects it to. Follow the love journey of these seven friends as they navigate their way through romantic and familial relationships, friendships, and everything else life throws their ways. Contains the stories: A Blessing in Disguise: Javier Gisbert and Hugo Romero are stuck in a hotel in Saint Louis due to a blizzard. It’s cold outside, but their mutual lust at first sight keeps them warm and sated. Can they sustain their passion once they return home to San Francisco? Or will the heat fizzle away into nothingness? A Misunderstanding: Justin falls in love with Blake at first sight, but he discovers Blake already has someone special in mind. Blake is infatuated with Justin. Sadly, based on the conversation between Justin and his best friend Blake accidentally overhears, Justin is attracted to someone else. Blake can’t be with someone who can’t fully commit to him. Can the two men resolve their misunderstanding in the end? Destined: James Chan and Joshua Wallace are attracted to each other. They begin to go out on dates, and everything is fine initially, but Joshua doesn’t grasp the culture James is familiar with, which may potentially turn into the one thing that ends it all for them. Can they smooth things out in time? Or will their differences be too much after all? Never Left Behind: Calvin Maxwell likes older men. Someone like Turner Marsh. That’s a good thing because Turner likes him, too. However, when Turner’s ex-boyfriend hits on Calvin, their respective emotional baggage rise to the surface, threatening the survival of their relationship.

In the spirit of Ludolph of Saxony (c. 1295-1378) and Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556), The Fourfold Gospel invites the reader into the mystery of God's redemption in Jesus Christ. All the parallel passages in the Gospels are glossed together, along with the unique material, using a medieval interpretive approach called the Quadriga or the acronym PaRDeS in Hebrew. Meditating on the literal, canonical, moral, and theological senses of Scripture offers a scaffolding for the spiritual formation of the reader. This volume, in addition to a thorough introduction to the method and the Gospels, focuses on the beginning of the story--the birth, baptism, and temptations of Christ.

Originally published in 1972. This important work of Chaucerian scholarship deals with two aspects of the poet and his work - his individual achievement and his place in history - and demonstrates that in both these senses Chaucer is a maker of English poetry. The author assesses the extent of Chaucer’s debt to the English tradition. She considers the development of his ‘urbane’ manner as a new poetic technique and, with reference to such poems as the Parlement of Foules and the House of Fame, discusses new themes in the Love Vision. She concludes with a detailed study of Chaucer’s great debate on love Troilus and Criseyde.
"My name is Ryuzaki Luca, half an angel, half a demon. Perhaps that makes me a full human. I am a first year at the prestigious Kuzusaki High school, a nationally famous school that hides a mystery I have sworn to unravel; a mystery of the day my city burned, and ash fell like snow. In the meantime, my grades take precedence over romance in order to maintain my scholarship, but I seem to keep running into women one after another. One might even think I'm gathering some sort of harem with the ecchi situations I keep getting caught up in, and women I end up helping. And so starts my high school life, a psychological thriller filled with supernatural occurrences that have bled into the normal world after being concealed in the shadows for an eternity. Read as I carve out my story, one mystery at a time"
