In Hounded by God, the author writes about his struggle to integrate his homosexuality with his personality and his Catholic-Christian spirituality. Born in 1948, he grew up in the '50s, '60s, and '70s when homosexuality was considered either a mental illness or a major sin. In 1968, he had his first homosexual experience. Feeling shame and trying to repress his feelings, he spent over six years in therapy. Raised a strict Roman Catholic, Joseph confessed his many "sins" to a priest and attended Mass daily. He felt hopeless in accepting his homosexuality and living happily as a gay man, repeating nightly, "If it gets too bad, I can always kill myself." By 1974, he knew that therapy was not changing his sexual orientation and felt desperate. Joseph experienced God as hounding him to accept his gay identity and to believe that God loves him as he is. His autobiographical journal reveals his gradual awakening to live his vocation, not only as a gay man in relationship with his partner and with God, but also as someone willing to share his journey with those who struggle with their homosexuality and their faith. St. Augustine put it beautifully into words: "You made us for yourself, Oh Lord, and our hearts will never rest until they rest in you." Most of us go through life covering over that yearning at the heart of every human, distracting ourselves with the desires of this world. Not so, Joseph Gentilini. God gave Joseph an extraordinary awareness of that call to union with God. In his autobiographical journal, Joe spells out his painful journey as an active gay man, from revolt against that voice of God to final acceptance with God's grace of his gay identity given to him by God-a remarkable journey which brings hope to all of us that God's call to union is to the authentic self. God dwells within us, and the only way to union with that God is through the authentic self! John McNeill, former Jesuit priest and author of The Church and the Homosexual; Taking a Chance on God; Freedom, Glorious Freedom; and My Spiritual Journey: Both Feet Planted in Midair

When rivers run red with blood, you know that the gods are hard at work. And so am I. My name's Vic Stratton, and I'm on a mission to kill the gods. But first I have to find them. Thanks to my new friend SplitScreen, I got a tip about shady government activity in the middle of Nowhere, Oregon. But what seems to be a wild goose chase soon descends into utter madness when I'm hunted by a one armed god of war and his horde of rampaging followers. And if they don't kill me first, I may just start breaking jaws in this backward town. What's with these locals anyways? It's like they don't want me to discover the truth. You'd think being humanity's hero would buy me some respect.

Despite the author's efforts to squelch the question “Why did Jesus have to die on the cross?” it continued to hound him for over twenty-five years. Like many, he believed the reason for Christ's death was to pay the price to redeem us from our sins and he couldn't understand why the question wouldn't leave him. Finally, hoping to put an end to the hounding, he set aside time to systematically search for the answer. During his exhaustive Bible search, the author was given a new life changing understanding concerning the reason behind Jesus' willingness to die on the cross. As is often the case, God also blessed him with afresh insight into the Trinity.

What happened? God met me in the center of my pain, and using the power and truth of His Word, He taught me who I am in Jesus and who He is.

"Part Kurt Vonnegut, part Douglas Adams, but let's be honest, Matheson had me at ‘Based on the Bible.'" —Dana Gould, comedian and writer The Bible offers some clues to God's personality—he's alternately been called vindictive and just, bloodthirsty and caring, all-powerful and impotent, capricious and foresighted, and loving and hateful. But no one has ever fully explored why God might be such a figure of contrasts. Nor has anyone ever satisfactorily explained what guides his relationship not just with angels, the devil, and his son, but also with all of creation. Might he be completely misunderstood, a mystery even to himself? Might his behavior and actions toward humankind tell us much more about him than it does about us? Enter the mind of the creator of the universe, travel with him through the heavenly highs and hellish lows of his story, from Genesis to Revelation, to better understand his burdensome journey: being God isn't easy. After hearing his story—at times troubling and tragic but always hilarious in its absurdity and divine in its comedy—you'll never look at a miracle or catastrophe—or at our place in the universe, or God's—the same way again.

Why does everyone else seem so happy? Can't anyone see how badly I'm hurting? Why did God let this happen to me? Am I the only one who hurts? We all ask these kinds of questions when our hearts have been wounded. Do you live your life pretending to be okay? Have you tried to just get over it and found yourself moving forward only to end up right back where you started, dealing with the same pain and the same issues? People often wonder why life doesn't magically change when they have trusted God to heal their wounded hearts. Based on lessons from Ezra and Haggai, this book will show you your part in the journey to freedom, healing, and wholeness, working with God to rebuild that which was torn down by the wounds you've experienced.

Albert Fischer needed to do one more thing to take control of his inheritance. He needed to get married. In the Volynian-German community where he lived a son was not a man until he married. Albert desperately wanted to be counted as a man. On the other hand Alwine Frey just wanted to escape. She was only months away from her 19th birthday when young girls can consider themselves as unmarriagable and become old maids. She also wanted to escape her responsibilities as the oldest daughter; an honor that seemed full of work and totally devoid of any privileges. She needed to marry to escape. Marriage however, was not a simple affair for these Germans living in the remote Polish province of Volhynia. There was family to consider, tradition, land and the demands of the Russian and Polish governments. Over a period of a hundred years their ancestors had moved to Volhynia at the invitation of the Russian government. Now after all this time when they could finally see some progress their way of life began to crumble as persecutions stirred up by jealousy and political expediency began tear at them. Fighting against betrayal and exile they finally turned for help to a new power rising in Germany. Promises of rescue and redemption quickly turned into more betrayal and the final end of their 150 years in the Russian province of Volhynia.. With the end of WWII they found themselves surrounded by enemies seeking revenge.
