Today's (2/4/2012) New Book Releases on Religion & Spirituality

Highly skilled Search and Rescue (SAR) team leader, Honor Mackenzie, works almost as hard at guarding the dark secrets of her past as she does when training SAR dogs. As for widowed Sun reporter Matt Phillips, not even his former SAR work is as important as protecting his ten-year-old twin boys.  

When a jumbo jet crashes outside Baltimore one cold night, their respective jobs put them face-to-face at the grisly scene--and force Matt and Honor to reconsider the difficult decisions that resulted in their long-standing "single forever" status.

As Matt tries to come to terms with his feelings for Honor, he gets word that she hasn’t reported in since starting the search for a missing child. Reverting to his SAR training, Matt leads the search team as a vicious winter storm bears down on the area. Will he find her in time? And if he does, will they find their way back to each other or go back to living life alone?

"Honor Redeemed takes readers into the challenging--and often heartbreaking--world of emergency responders who enter disaster and find their lives and choices irrevocably changed by it. A timely novel about the power of love in all its aspects."
--Susannah Charleson, author of Scent of the Missing: Love and Partnership with a Search and Rescue Dog

Excerpt: ... BOOK FIRST. THE ALARM. fs there not on the ground we tread, And in the rock-heaps round us spread, In every hollow of the hill, In fywing river, creek, and rill, In silent dingle, down, and dell, And shady wood, and mossy cell, On crag, and cross, and castle lone, On tor, and tarn, and Druid-stone, Some olden tale the Muse to lead, So that whoever runs may read? "Who has not heard at evening hour, "When seated in some lonely bower,--What time the ploughman leaves the lea, And dances baby on his knee, And down the lane the milkmaid sings, As she the full pail homeward brings,--Who has not heard from fern and fen, From whispering wood and grassy glen, From mystic marsh, and ruin wild, And altar-stone on stone up-piled, Mysterious voices, song-o'ercast, The genii of the mighty past? T is eve, 't is calm; the winds are still; Not e'en a whisper walks the hill; In silent groups the lilies lie, Nor tremble as the stream steals by; The closing flowers in garments fair Beneath the twilight seem at prayer; The rushes stir not by the lake, The bramble bends not in the brake; The oak is moveless on the moor; The hawthorn near the herdsman's door, The larch adown the lengthen'd lane, The willow by the warrior's fane, The ivy o'er the fortress gray, No leaf is lifted on the spray; And Peace in many a fair festoon Is singing to the rising moon. With cautious footsteps up Cam Brea A palmer climbs in vest of grey, A staff he carries, and a Book, In which he solemnly doth look; And often doth he lift his eye In prayerful glance towards the sky, As if for souls of guilty men With Heaven he interceded then. His face was brown, his hair was long, His agile limbs were spare and strong; A shaggy deer-skin cap he wore; A horn within his belt he bore; A wallet from his shoulder ...

Excerpt: With happier tears and softening voice she said To Keshint: " Speed yet again, my girl; And, while he wots not, from the kitchen take Meat he hath dressed, and bring it here to me." So went the maid, and, waiting secretly, Brake from the mess a morsel, hot and spiced, And, bearing it with faithful swiftness, gave To Damayanti. She (O Kuru King 1) -- That knew so well the dishes dressed by him -- Touched, tasted it, and, laughing -- weeping -- cried, Beside herself with joy: " Yes, yes; 't is he I That charioteer is Nala 1" Then, a-pant, Even while she washed her mouth,1 she bade the maid Go with the children twain to Vahuka; Who, when he saw his little Indrasen 1 Like a well-bred and pious j. idy, the utmost emotion does not make Damayanti forget her religious duties. The Law of Manu enjoins (v. 145)1 "After tleep', after sneezing, eating, drinking, spitting, telling juntruths, and before reading the sacred books, let every one, though pure, wash out the mouth." j, And Indrasena, started up, and ran, And caught, and folded them upon his breast ; Holding them there, his darlings, each as fair As children of the gods. Then, quite undone With love and yearning, loudly sobbed the Prince. . JUntil, perceiving Keshini, who watched, Shamed to be known, he set his children down, And said : " In sooth, good friend, this lovely pair So like mine own are, that at seein...

Excerpt from book: The writer brings forward in confirmation of the phenomena of clairvoyance, both magnetic and spontaneous, a great number of facts, partly from his own observation, principally, however, from that of other investigators; but always selected from those which present all the elements of a sound logical and historical evidence, or which, being vouched for by the character of the reporters, and by the concomitant circumstances, possess' in the highest degree the impress of truth. Among the writers quoted on this head are Ennemoser, Esdaile, Clark, Gregory, Despine, Colquhoun, Briere de Boismont, and Aber- crombie. Adverting more especially to magnetic clairvoyance, after having recalled to mind that the commissioners of the Academie de Medecine admitted likewise the existence of this singular faculty, the writer demonstrates it by well-chosen arguments and by facts which, like those adduced in support of spontaneous clairvoyance, present all the characters of truth and credibility. Your commissioners would like to enlarge upon this delicate question, if such were consistent with the limits to which the report must be restricted, in order to show with how much intelligence and learning the writer supports his opinions, and shows how undeniable are his convictions. Should his memoir be deemed worthy of the preference, he promises to add to it an appendix respecting this phenomenon of clairvoyance. Such a faculty, applied to the diagnosis of disease, may be, as every one will perceive, of great use.The commissioners of the Acadetnie considered that it should he recognised, having been en- ahled, in a few cases, to verify its application in this respect. The writer does not deny, however, that the instances are rare in which this power of introvision is met with, as compared with th...

Excerpt: ... APPENDIX, HORTEUSIAj OR, THE TEANS FIGURATIONS, The charm, elegance, and retirement of the villa, the hospitality of our rich host, Ambrosio Faustino, and the grace of his most lovely wife, contributed not a little to the healing of our wounds, received in the battle of Molito (we were four German officers), but still more the pleasing discovery, that both the generous Faustino and his beautiful wife were of German descent. He was formerly called Faust, and was, by a singular chain of circumstances, induced to settle in Italy and to change his name. The delight of being able, far from our native land, to exchange German words, made us mutually confidential. I had the liberty of passing my morning hours in Faustino's library. There I found, in magnificent rows, the choicest works, and also some volumes of Italian manuscripts, written by Faustino. They were memoirs of his own life, mingled with observations on painting and sculpture. I asked the favor of being permitted to read them, which Faustino was not only good enough to grant, but also drew out one of the volumes, and pointed out what I should read. "Eead it," said he, " and believe me, however incredible it may appear, it is true. Even to myself, it seems at times a deception of the imagination, though I have experienced it all." He also imparted to me many smaller circumstances. But this is sufficient for an introduction. Here follows the fragment from Faustino's, or rather Faust's memoirs. ADVENTURES IN VENZONL On the twelfth of September, 1771, I crossed the stream of Tagliamento, at Spilemberg. I approached with firm steps the German confines, which I had not seen for many years. My soul was full of an indescribable melancholy, and it seemed as if an invisible power drew me back. It constantly c...

Excerpt: ... conclusion that full forty per cent, of all and every description of the manifestations are truly spiritually originated; that about thirty per cent. is epidemical psychology; about twenty-five per cent-sympathy and misapprehension; and the remainder, five per cent., is simple deception or voluntary imitation, by persons fond of attention and approbation. From the foregoing scale we learn the relative position and proportion of the causes of modern mysteries. But I am interiorly assured that this percentage will be, ere long, reversed; that is, sixty spiritual causes to forty material causes of the manifestations. The Table indicates the number of minds, in this world, interested in the new developments, to be, in the aggregate calculation, six hundred and forty-six thousand--two hundred and sixty thousand of which immense multitude already accept the spiritual side of the question; these receive the truth of intercourse between terrestrial and celestial spheres. Here, too, we have the curious explanation of the diversity of feelings and prejudices which the same phenomena, or the public reports of them, create in different mental organizations. It seems that about one hundred thousand persons have concluded that all psychological wonders, ancient and modern, are simply "Voluntary Deception," on the part of certain individuals, and, when they think of these, that number of minds is moved with impatience; the disciples of the theory of "Neurologic" or hysteric causes, being fifty thousand, are saddened; the receivers of the "Vital Electricity" doctrine, eighty thousand, are presumptuous and egotistic; the "Nervo-psychologic" party, or imaginationists, fifty thousand, are distressed with vagaries and skepticism; the disciples of "Cerebro-sympathy," or epide...

PHYSICAL MEDIUMS, A PHYSICAL medium is one who through spiritual agency.. . is able to perform mechanical or chemical feats without the use of mechanical or chemical means, or even to do things which are not from a human point of view regarded as possible with any means or by any power at our command. Increasing the height of the body, suspension of the body in the air, playing on musical instruments, increasing the weights of substances, holding live coals in the hand, etc., are instances of the ability which first class mediums of this kind are claimed to possess. As we have seen, there are many tricks of legerdemain which are fully equal, indeed superior in apparent impossibility, to any one of these things; but I propose to discuss some of these assumed faculties with more particularity than when they were referred to in the chapter on sleight of hand. Increasing and diminishing the stature. This is one of Mr. Home's favorite performances. The account is given by Mr. Home/ but on the authority of Mr. Jencken, who thus details the occurrence.

Remarkable was the breathing of Mr. Home on Mrs. 's spine, causing alternately a feeling of cold and then of intense heat. Mr. Home said, 'I am now going to grow taller,' and then the remarkable phenomenon of elongation was witnessed. The elongation repeated itself three times. The first time Mr. Home lengthened to about six feet nine inches. And then he shortened...

Excerpt: ... Even in its most degraded forms, Christianity superadds some-thing to the moral restraints of men; and impresses in some degree the doctrine of future retribution. So far as this goes, it is an advantage to th« community. But so far as the vital, evangelical spirit of Christianity is rejected, or contemned, just so far the prospect that religion will have a benigii'influence on society is obscured. If a denial of the divinity and atonement of the Savior, be denying the Lord that bought us, then, whatever character a man who does this may sustain among his, fellow Creatures, in the sight of God he is an unbeliever; and whatever may be the degree of his guilt and punishment, he is as surely xpssed to final destruction, as the-Atheist or the Deist.-It luts always appeared to us, that the divinity and atonement 'of the Savior are essential doctrines in the Christian System; not as subjects of speculation only, biit as practical truths. Such being the fact we cannot help believing, that those, who reject and contemn these doctrines, have not a fair claim to be considered as standing on Christian ground. It is a sorrowful thing to be compelled to say, that there are now many persons, in the capital of New England, and hot a few in its vicinity, who utterly reject the doctrines in question, and many others, essentially, if not equally, important. The Pamphlet befoie us offers evidence on this subject, which it is impossible to mistake. Had the facts, which this pamphlet discloses, been stated on the 'authority of an orthodox man, we should doubtless have been met at the threshold, with the allegation of "party spirit and misrepresentation." No orthodox man could ever have hoped for such materials to corrrpile a history as arc here presented. The writer has ...

In him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead JL HE text now recited, is one which bears full upon that article of the Unitarians which comes next under consideration; an article in direct opposition to this, and to very many similar passages. This Scriptore teaches the actual Godhead of the Son, and his coequality with the Father; and these, together with the doctrine of the atonement made by him, are denied by the followers of Unitarianism in the foll6wing termsa. They believe that our blessed Lord "Jesus Christ was a proper Colos. ii. 9. bodily. "human being, in all respects like unto "his brethren;" though they acknowledge him to have been the greatest of prophets, and the promised Messiah; who was " sent "to supersede the Mosaic institute, and to "introduce a new and more liberal dispen"sation; and to reveal the doctrine of "eternal life by a resurrection from the "dead." They believe his miracles, prophecies, resurrection, and ascension. With this sort of profession of positive belief, such as it is, which derogates so essentially from the dignity of our Almighty Saviour, they deny that most important doctrine of the atonement made by himb; and they disclaim that, which they plainly, though falsely, insinuate that Christians hold, "ca subordinate Creator and Go"vernor of the universe." I ought perhaps to apologize for the utterance of such doctrines as these within these walls, consecrated to the God of our Fathers, the one God in three Persons; were it not necessary to state them, in order to their refutation; and I should have been unwilling to lay them before such of my congregation, as may be altogether unpractised in the question, were it not, that it seems better for them to hear these things now stated, ...

THE CHURCH AT WAR WITH THE WORLD. "We have seen that the Church is a kingdom, and what manner of kingdom it is : now look at the Church and world alongside of each other. I. What the world thinks of itself. 1. That it is going to last for ever: so it plants and builds and projects and dreams, overvaluing its dreams, and, poor blindfold thing, not seeing that they are dreams, realizing not that it is a victim condemned to be burnt, with its sentence uncertainly delayed. 2. That there are no other interests but its own; ignoring the personality of God. 8. That there is nothing like itself anywhere ; yet the devil could contrive many equal manifestations of his ability. 4. That religion was made for its convenience, to satisfy an appetite, and must not forget itself. 6. That there cannot be two opinions about its own value; its case is selfevident. 6. That of all vulgar things spirituality is specially vulgar, cowardly, and little. 7. It sees no disgrace in eating its own words, when convenient -- unlike the infallibility claimed by the Church. Leading articles of modern newspapers an instance of the hold the world has on men without their knowing it, and irrespective of sin. II. What the Church thinks of the world. 1. No middle course -- she judges it enmity with God -- calls it a devil -- the Holy Ghost bids her do so. Here war to the knife is proclaimed at once. 2. Foolishness of temporal affairs; and how the Church contrives to take all interest out of them: the world retaliates -- builds glasshouses -- shows what it can do without the faith -- as at the tower of Babel. 3. The liter...

Excerpt: ... description given by Tregarva remains true to facts: "Go where you will, in town or country, you'll find half a dozen shops struggling for a custom that would only keep up one; and so they're forced to undersell one another. And, when they've got down prices all they can, by fair means, they're forced to get them down lower by foul,--to sand the sugar and sloe-leave the tea and put Satan only that prompts them knows what into the bread; and then they don't thrive, they can't thrive. God's curse must be on them. They begin by trying to oust each other and eat each other up; and, while they're eating up their neighbors, their neighbors eat up them; and so they all come to ruin together." All these social evils strike down their tap-roots beneath the very groundwork of our civilization. They are the sequelce of the fever of individualism firing the social system. The tremendous force of selfishness, once freed from the strong box in which Communism shut it up. threw off the venerable bonds of fellowship, broke through the sacred laws of morality, and developed a fierceness of greed which became a root of all evil, socially. Selfishness has proven itself the nullification of true order in a general " ooze and thaw of wrong." What a terrific indictment of our economical system is presented in the simplest statement of the results of ages of competitive civilization! A few living in idle luxury, the great mass toiling slavishly from ten to eighteen hours a day;f the producers of all wealth receiving just enough to keep above the hunger level; f women taking the place of men in the weary work of the factory,§ consuming the mothering powers of body, mind, and soul, wherein lie the hopes of humanity; children, who should be accumulating in wise play the cap...
