The deepest words are the most prosaic. They are enriched by everybody's voice, and only through them are our joys, sufferings, doubts, and choices illuminated and shared. This book's brief meditations lend an ear to ten of them, from breath to wound, from way to abandonment, from attention to peace. The lesson of poets, the wisdom of saints, and the teaching of philosophers with these simple words afford innumerable pathways. To gather ourselves, letting the weight of these essential words sink into us, is to catch our breath silently, rendering its rhythm fuller and stronger. Yet what is the point, if we were to stand pat? The price of the highest breath can only be to give itself without reserve, until we lose our breath. A contribution to the venerable tradition of lectio divina, Ten Meditations for Catching and Losing One's Breath invites its reader to embark on a contemplative journey led by an author who was one of France's most prolific and profound philosophers in generations.

Has a repressive morality been the primary contribution of Christianity to the history of sexuality? The ascetic concerns that pervade ancient Christian texts would seem to support such a common assumption. Focusing on hagiographical literature, Virginia Burrus pursues a fresh path of interpretation, arguing that the early accounts of the lives of saints are not antierotic but rather convey a sublimely transgressive "countereroticism" that resists the marital, procreative ethic of sexuality found in other strands of Christian tradition. Without reducing the erotics of ancient hagiography to a single formula, The Sex Lives of Saints frames the broad historical, theological, and theoretical issues at stake in such a revisionist interpretation of ascetic eroticism, with particular reference to the work of Michel Foucault and Georges Bataille, David Halperin and Geoffrey Harpham, Leo Bersani and Jean Baudrillard. Burrus subsequently proceeds through close, performative readings of the earliest Lives of Saints, mostly dating to the late fourth and early fifth centuries—Jerome's Lives of Paul, Malchus, Hilarion, and Paula; Gregory of Nyssa's Life of Macrina; Augustine's portrait of Monica; Sulpicius Severus's Life of Martin; and the slightly later Lives of so-called harlot saints. Queer, s/m, and postcolonial theories are among the contemporary discourses that prove intriguingly resonant with an ancient art of "saintly" loving that remains, in Burrus's reading, promisingly mobile, diverse, and open-ended.

“Our God is a God of surprises... Am I open to the God of surprises?”—Pope Francis, 2014 Responding to this challenge, Surprised by God explores what it means to reflect on life and our journey of faith. Theological reflection has been primarily used in academic training for ministry preparation, but it is an essential tool for any person pondering Pope Francis’ questions. Christina Zaker provides an in-depth look at the foundational elements of theological reflection including definitions and guidance through various methods. Offering a lens for reflection based on the unique way Jesus’ parables surprise and invite listeners to collaborate in the reign of God, the book foregrounds the importance of reflection as a spiritual practice committed to justice. Reveling in the many ways God surprises us, we learn how to respond to the invitation of faith with open minds and hearts.

The Necropolis Siege: Undead Rising Word Count: 55,176 Genre: Survival Horror Series: The Necropolis Siege Series - Book 1 In The Necropolis Siege: Undead Rising, the first installment of the pulse-pounding Necropolis Siege Series, rookie detective Marcus is thrust into a nightmare beyond imagination. A routine call to the North Public Cemetery quickly spirals out of control as the dead rise from their graves, unleashing a horde of zombies, skeletons, and grotesque abominations upon the unsuspecting city. As the city falls into chaos, Marcus and his seasoned partner, James, must navigate a nightmarish landscape where every shadow hides a threat and every decision could mean the difference between life and a fate far worse than death. Together with a ragtag group of survivors, they race against time to reach Cirila, where a fortified bunker offers their only hope of refuge. But as the undead tighten their grip, Marcus discovers that survival demands more than just bravery—it requires sacrifices, alliances with unlikely allies, and the courage to confront the terrifying truth behind the siege. The Necropolis Siege is a gripping tale of survival horror, delving deep into the human psyche as it faces the unimaginable. Fans of Stephen King and Guillermo del Toro will find themselves immersed in a world where fear and resilience are pushed to their limits, and the line between the living and the dead blurs with every heartbeat.

Second in the “series with plenty of heart” from the bestselling author of “compelling military science fiction thrillers” (AllReaders.com). The Spec Ops Squad is a team of elite soldiers from every alien race in the Alliance of Light. They’re supposed to be the best of the best, handling all the toughest missions—but these elite soldiers don’t have a whole lot in common. It’s fallen to Sgt. Bart “Dragon” Dark to forge them into a seamless fighting machine. It hasn’t been easy, but they’ve accomplished some big things: they scored a major victory over the Ilion Federation, and importantly, they proved that they can function as a team. Now the First Combined Regiment are back on Earth, recovering from their first mission together, trying to unlearn some of the bad habits they picked up. But before they get much down time, they’ve got to go on the offensive: they’re going deep into enemy territory to take and hold the key world of Olviat. If they fail in this Deep Strike, it’s not just this mission that falls apart—it could be the entire Alliance. “A good, fast read for those who are into military science fiction.” —Rambles Praise for Rick Shelley “Rick Shelley was a soldier at heart, and his books were written from the heart. They carry the real feel of the sweat, blood, and camaraderie of those on the front lines.” —Jack Campbell, New York Times–bestselling author
