Thinking about having a baby? Already pregnant? Pregnancy is a weekly, educational devotional that goes beyond describing the babys physical development. It combines Gods word with the studies in the field of prenatal memory. Research has confirmed that some of the experiences the baby has in the womb are being imprinted in its inner being. If you desire to connect with your baby and your baby with God, then Pregnancy is the book for you. Each week the baby describes itself in a joyful and sometimes amusing way. It speaks to its parents about its physical development during that week and glorifies God. This is followed by prayers based on the Bible, for the parents to pray for each organ in development, as well as the babys soul and spirit. Pregnancy covers the forty weeks of gestation, including the preconception period and the day of delivery. Pregnancy may be shared with your loved ones. Invite them to do something special and unforgettable by joining you in prayer. You will also find support guides for when the baby is not initially wanted, the experience of an abortion, and when you suffer the loss of a baby during pregnancy. Pregnancy will help you enjoy all the stages of your babys development and imprint special memories of love and acceptance in its inner self. You will be setting the foundation for the spiritual and social-emotional identity of your unborn child for the rest of its life.
This volume offers a sample of the many ways that medieval Franciscans wrote, represented in art, and preached about the ‘model of models’ of the medieval religious experience, the Virgin Mary. This is an extremely valuable collection of essays that highlight the significant role the Franciscans played in developing Mariology in the Middle Ages. Beginning with Francis, Clare, and Anthony, a number of significant theologians, spiritual writers, preachers, and artists are presented in their attempt to capture the significance and meaning of the Virgin Mary in the context of the late Middle Ages within the Franciscan movement. Contributors are Luciano Bertazzo, Michael W. Blastic, Rachel Fulton Brown, Leah Marie Buturain, Marzia Ceschia, Holly Flora, Alessia Francone, J. Isaac Goff, Darrelyn Gunzburg, Mary Beth Ingham, Christiaan Kappes, Steven J. McMichael, Pacelli Millane, Kimberly Rivers, Filippo Sedda, and Christopher J. Shorrock.
What forces, either emergent or centrally planned, have subtly changed American life? These questions and more are explored in Wiliam Reynolds' novel SANCTIFY. Set against the shocking murder mystery whose impact on American history was incalculable, SANCTIFY is a rich novel in every sense of the word. James Ortega was fifteen when his Cuban half-brother, Jesus, was a buried casualty of Vietnam. Not until he meets his brother's fiancée, the beautiful and enigmatic Kathy Shine, does he entertain the possibility that Jesus is still alive and the buried casket empty. Frustrated on all fronts, James finally contacts Paul Deland, who holds a high position in Naval Intelligence. So begins the search for the mysterious Jesus, a search that forces us to examine our own disturbing times, in light of tenuous, yet highly evocative, connections with history. SANCTIFY is a fictional tour de force, which reminds the reader--as in all great novels --what it is to be human.
