The best ever explanation of the Catholic doctrine of the communion of saints written for a popular audience. Patrick Madrid explains in a clear and easy-to-follow style why Catholics pray to Mary and the saints. Using the Bible and the testimony of the early Church Fathers, he shows the biblical and historical foundations of this often misunderstood Catholic doctrine. He also walks the reader through the standard anti-Catholic arguments against praying to Mary and the saints and demonstrates why these arguments are themselves unbiblical.

“I used to be a lesbian.” In Gay Girl, Good God, author Jackie Hill Perry shares her own story, offering practical tools that helped her in the process of finding wholeness. Jackie grew up fatherless and experienced gender confusion. She embraced masculinity and homosexuality with every fiber of her being. She knew that Christians had a lot to say about all of the above. But was she supposed to change herself? How was she supposed to stop loving women, when homosexuality felt more natural to her than heterosexuality ever could? At age nineteen, Jackie came face-to-face with what it meant to be made new. And not in a church, or through contact with Christians. God broke in and turned her heart toward Him right in her own bedroom in light of His gospel. Read in order to understand. Read in order to hope. Or read in order, like Jackie, to be made new.

In life, you can never do anything without our Lord God Savior and a helping hand of our neighbor. “Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend” (Prov. 27:17 KJV). Lord Knows That Little Bird Friend of Mine Is a story of a day lived. This book paves the way for the second book entitled Penelope’s Plateau of Life and View of the Love of Look. From humble beginnings to living in the world, all becomes a stage. Both are written to follow the other in the teachings of growing up with lessons of the Holy written word. But Je'-sus beheld them, and said onto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. (Matthew 19:26 KJV) As I personally take a step back yet bring this forward to you with this scripture passage, I know my place is in acknowledgment with Jesus Christ. —Mark Ira Krausman “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, least any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Je’-sus onto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them” (Ephes. 2:8–10 KJV).

The author's world encompasses dilapidated fight arenas, state mental hospitals & chaotic emergency rooms. The inhabitants are his brilliantly etched characters, who battle desperately against fate in a game of life they cannot win but dare not lose. As we approach the end of the century & the millennium, no one writes better or more vividly than Jones does about the personal, private apocalypses we all face in our darkest moments. In one story, a Vietnam vet, a Recon Marine, swims alone across the English Channel, the Straits of Gibraltar, & the Bosporus to maintain "the edge" that kept him alive in wartime - & that is all he now has left. In another, a brilliant doctor verges on a breakdown. In the title story, a young amateur fighter stoically endures repetitive beatings because he knows the world of boxing shields & protects him from the even crueler world outside of the ring. A number of these stories have appeared in different forms in the New Yorker, Playboy, & Esquire.
