A lesser-known tradition in theology--the apophatic--has resurfaced in our time. Simply stated, this tradition has long recognized that discussion of what God is not is central to theological discernment. The apophatic emphasis on giving the negative its due has been rediscovered and enlarged today in several ways. Above all, this theological orientation warrants our radical questioning and honors the importance of doubt. It also leads us to greater awareness of our hidden fears of loss and of the costs of our unconscious flight from death. At the same time, it can open the door to new perceptions of what lay persons--as well as theologians such as Eckhart and Tillich--have understood as our deepest relationship to the God beyond God. This development is significant for those in progressive faith communities, for those who call themselves "spiritual but not religious," and those who assume that religion and spirituality have no place in their lives.

On December 1, 1941, the author's unit was sent to the southern Philippine island of Mindanao to establish an air base. Less than six months later, on May 10, 1942, Sergeant Nordin was captured by the Japanese. For two years he was imprisoned on Mindanao before boarding a Japanese hellship destined for Moji, Japan. He spent the remainder of the war working on the railroad in Yokkaichi. Throughout his time in captivity, the author detailed the conditions and his thoughts on the camps in a secret diary that became the basis of this work. This powerful story recounts the horrors of the prison camps, the torturous journey on the hellship, and the little things that provided him and his fellow prisoners the strength to survive.

A Gay Paranormal Harem RomanceWhat do you get when you mix a dragon, a vampire, a griffin, a mage, and a human? Sawyer Smith's life sounds like a punchline, but the mates he's come to love are no joke. They're fierce and wonderful, protecting him from the outside forces trying to destroy him. Add in a reluctant hippocamp and an egotistical fae prince, and Sawyer has his hands full in more ways than one. Sawyer is closer than ever to fulfilling the ancient prophecy of the Chosen One, but the bonds between him and his newest guardians are giving him doubts. The rules are changing, and Sawyer has to adapt quickly if he's going to keep up, especially after he's whisked away to the land of the fae, a place with cryptic customs. One misstep could very well lead to his death. Navigating the waters of his newest relationship is tricky enough without the encroaching dangers. Something terrifying is heading Sawyer's way, threatening not only his life, but everything he's built with the mates he loves. Despite their concerns, Sawyer is ready to make sacrifices, because there's next to nothing he wouldn't do to keep them safe.

"The novel has lost its purpose, Joseph Bottum argues in this fascinating new look at the history of fiction. We have not transcended our need for what novels provide, but we no longer "read novels the way we used to." In a historical tour de force--the kind of sweeping analysis almost lost to contemporary literary criticism--Bottum traces the emergence of the novel from the modern religious formation of the individual soul and the atomized self. Reading everything from Jane Austen to genre fiction, Bottum finds a lack of faith in the ability of art to respond to the deep problems of existence. "The decline of the novel's prestige reflects and confirms a genuine cultural crisis," he writes. "The novel didn't fail us. We failed the novel." Told in faced-paced, engaging prose, Bottum's The Decline of the Novel is a succinct critique of classic and contemporary fiction--a must read for students of literary form, critics of contemporary art, and general readers who wish to learn, finally, what we all used to know: the deep moral purpose of reading novels." --back cover of book
