It rises suddenly out of the Sonoran Desert landscape, towering over the tallest tree or cactus, a commanding building with a sensuous dome, elliptical vaults, and sturdy bell towers. There is nothing else like it around, nor does it seem there should be. This incongruity of setting is what strikes first-time visitors to Mission San Xavier del Bac. This great church is of another place and another time, while its beauty is universal and timeless. Mission San Xavier del Bac is a two-century-old Spanish church in southern Arizona located just a few miles from downtown Tucson, a metropolis of more than half a million people in the American Southwest. A National Historic Landmark since 1963, the mission’s graceful baroque art and architecture have drawn visitors from all over the world. Now Bernard Fontana—the leading expert on San Xavier—and award-winning photographer Edward McCain team up to bring us a comprehensive view of the mission as we’ve never seen it before. With 200 stunning full-color photographs and incisive text illuminating the religious, historical, and motivational context of these images, A Gift of Angels is a must-have for tourists, scholars, and other visitors to San Xavier. From its glorious architecture all the way down to the finest details of its art, Mission San Xavier del Bac is indeed a gift of angels.

From Hannah: This book has over 55 sauce recipes that will change your life. For real, they will take a so-so dish and make it gold, Baby! I think it’s fair to say that sauce is one of the most important parts of a dish. Sauce is what brings everything and everyone together. No one just sits around eating wings, fries or tater tots without something on top of them. Sauces make dishes far more interesting. You would feel lost without something to dip your waffle fries into. What would you do without honey mustard? Well… plant-based honey mustard. A trio of simple chip dips makes it seem like you put some serious effort into something, even if it took you 5 minutes to make. Congratulations you are now the MVP of Super Bowl Sunday! If it weren’t for you, your spouse and friends would be sitting around eating Fritos while simultaneously screaming and throwing stale popcorn at the TV. That might make it fun for you to watch, but their beer filled bellies will scream for more substance. With so many choices you’ll find lots of recipes that will become new staples for you and your family. Love, Hannah
