All of my family of origin passed away by 2001, but in 2017, I looked at the massive paper trail left by my grandmother, mother, and father. For the first time, I discovered that the story of my adoption did not match the mountain of evidence set before me. I believe that the circumstantial evidence points to one conclusion: that I am an illegitimate daughter of the deposed shahanshah ("king of kings") of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. This startling discovery caused me to ask myself this question: What would I think of myself if I really were the daughter of the Shah of Iran?
In a world that seeks to dictate the terms of His involvement, a correct view of God is critical. Unveiled is about taking God at His Word, and is both challenging and encouraging to us in our walk with Christ. It is challenging because of its direct appeal to have us consider where we are in our Christian walk, relative to where God would have us be. Unveiled is encouraging; in spite of the many ways in which we fall short of God's glory, His grace remains. Unveiled brings us back to a God-centered focus. Plain-spoken and practical, Unveiled benefits anyone at any level of spiritual maturity. Spiritual growth occurs day by day as we encounter God. With devotions, combined with prayers and Scripture readings, Unveiled helps you in that encounter. By God's grace, your faith will grow, your life will be changed, but most importantly, our God will be glorified. "Unveiled is one of the most unique devotionals I have seen. The reader is stimulated to read God's Word and to contemplate complex issues. It is a great tool for growing in the faith and knowing God more intimately. I find it to be a user-friendly devotional with practical concepts for dealing with everyday challenges." --Lt. Gen. William G. Boykin, executive vice president, Family Research Council and author of Never Surrender: A Soldier's Journey to the Crossroads of Faith and Freedom

What happens to us when we die? Many think of heaven as an unimaginable state of bliss. As for hell, it's far out of proportion to any sin we might have committed and makes a travesty of God. But what if the afterlife was something very different? The key to such knowledge is mediumship. Three decades of research have taught the author, a world expert in the field of death and afterlife studies, who the most reliable voices are. These accounts are far better developed and more plausible than anything found in the world's scriptures or theologies. We hunger for a reliable revelation telling us that life here and now is meaningful and good, that each of us has an important part to play in its proper unfolding, that we are accountable for all we do, and that the godless materialism all around us is a pathological mistake. The world ahead, unlike ours, is fascinating and fair. Authentic mediums may be the closest thing to the voice of God that our planet has.
Man cannot live without love.... His life is senseless if love is not revealed to him, if he does not encounter love, if he does not experience it and make it his own, if he does not participate intimately in it. — John Paul II, Redemptor Hominis If you were asked what immediately comes to mind when you hear the words "Catholic Church", would you answer an intimate relationship with the God who loves me? If not, you would do well to read this engaging and thought-provoking book which explains why such a relationship is the reason for everything the Church does and teaches. Professor Edward Sri will show you how all the pieces of the Catholic faith, including the most baffling ones, fit together to make one beautiful mosaic of God's love for us and our own participation in that all-encompassing love. Using the Catechism of the Catholic Church as his itinerary, Sri will walk you through all the important aspects of the Catholic Church—what Catholics believe about God and the difference it should make in life. Along the way he addresses such often-heard questions as: Why do I need the Church—can't I be spiritual on my own? Isn't one religion just as good as another? How is the death of a man two thousand years ago relevant for my life today? Why does the Church talk so much about morality? Can't I make up my own morals? Is it really our responsibility to care for the poor— doesn't God help those who help themselves? Why do Catholics and Protestants disagree? Must Catholics worship Mary and always obey the pope? More than an intellectual enterprise, this work is also a deep spiritual reflection and a practical guide to living out our faith in Christ. It aims to form both the head and the heart, not only helping us to understand Jesus and his plan of salvation, but inspiring us to love God and our neighbor better.
Anne Tucker is a fifty-five-year-old educator-turned-writer who lives in Turner Falls, Maine. When Crown Press selects her novel for publication, she develops a rich, intense relationship with her editor, Emily Ryder. Father Dennis McManus frequently finds himself at odds with his superiors due to his strong views on abortion and gay rights. After he and Sister Carol Robinson hold a rally supporting same-sex marriage, their bishop pressures them to abandon their beliefs or leave the Church. The lives of these characters intersect when a priest confesses to Dennis that he has molested a young boy. Dennis refuses to hold his disclosure in confidence, and all hell breaks loose in the diocese and beyond. As Anne, Emily, Dennis, and Carol search for the identity of the abused child, the middle-aged "detectives" must confront the minefield of their beliefs . . . and their feelings. "Unveiled" is a story of struggle, advocacy, courage, and-most of all-the healing power of love.
"Twenty-one-year-old Emma Matthews lost the song in her heart the same night she lost her dad. With an unfulfilled promise and an ultimatum shadowing her junior year of college, maybe it's better that way. You can't hurt if you can't feel. But when the reflection she sees in musician Riley Preston's eyes borders dangerously close to the one she's spent the last five years searching for, Emma discovers her walls can't guard her heart from its fiercest desire. Terrified of what she's experiencing, and even more afraid of what she might lose, Emma grapples for the courage to hold on to one dream without abandoning the promise of another"--Page 4 of cover.
