Jasmine Fishers life as of current was nothing short of a dream come true. The problem was that it had all been made possible by Curtis Winslow, an overachieving entrepreneur in the lucrative business of illegal substance trafficking. Despite all of the luxuries that he had provided her and her family with, Jasmine found it hard not expressing her disgust with him about what it was that he did for a living. She wanted him out of the business. Curtis had failed to see any problem with him staying in, and considering the very high ranking position that he held in the cartel that he belonged to, he had occasion to express to her how difficult, if not impossible, a transition like that would be to accomplish. The issue was developing a rift between them that was threatening to tear the couple apart. It was business as usual for Curtis. Everything was running smoothly and he had nothing to do but sit back and watch the money roll in. That isuntil an attack is made on his organization. An attack that will most certainly lead them to war. During the ensuing mayhem Curtis will be left to do battle with the conflictions within himself as well as make a choice between his allegiance to his criminal faction and his loyalties to his family at home.

"The Orthodox Church, presented here in a newly revised edition, has become an indispensable classic on the history of the Orthodox Church and the unique position it holds in today's world. Fr. Meyendorff reviews the great events and the principle stages in a history of nearly two thousand years, its diversity not only in Eastern and far-Eastern countries, but also in the West and in the whole world. He also presents the culture and spiritual tradition of Orthodoxy, its connection to other Christian churches, its religious activities in various communities and its position and actions in former Eastern Communist countries. The postscript describes the new post-Communist situation of Orthodoxy."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Both Alexander Schmemann and Joseph Ratzinger insist that the human person remains shrouded in mystery without God’s self-disclosure in the person of Jesus Christ. Like us, Jesus lived in a particular time and location, and therefore time and temporality must be part of the ontological question of what it means to be a human person. Yet, Jesus, the one who has time for us, ascended to the Father, and the bride of Christ awaits his return, and therefore time and temporality are conditioned by the eschatological. With this in mind, the ontological question of personhood and temporality is a question that concerns eschatology: how does eschatology shape personhood? Bringing together Schmemann and Ratzinger in a theological dialogue for the first time, this book explores their respective approaches and answers to the aforementioned question. While the two theologians share much in common, it is only Ratzinger’s relational ontological approach that, by being consistently relational from top to bottom, consistently preserves the meaningfulness of temporal existence.
