"The gargoyles of Dublin, Ireland, have a sacred duty to perform. Formerly God's avenging angels, for centuries they have been entrusted with guarding the churches and cathedrals of the Irish capital while avoiding all contact with human beings. But once a month these loyal stone sentries must leave their posts to attend a conclave of their kind, and it is during one such absence that a sacrilege occurs. The guardian of St. Patrick's Cathedral, the gargoyle Padraig, called 'Paddy,' has returned to find violence and vandalism committed at his church and two silver artifacts stolen. Taking to Dublin's night streets in search of a culprit, Paddy inadvertently reveals himself to an aged chauffeur in an ancient Rolls Royce, thereby dooming Francis Templeton to an impending premature death. But the grim reaper will have to wait, because old man Templeton is a member of the Knights of Malta, a secret order of defenders of the faith dating back to the Crusades, and as such is an ideal partner for the onetime angel in his quest for justice and revenge. Their hunt is about to take some sinister turns, however, leading the gargoyle and the knight to Clontarf Castle, where a major demon, an emissary of Satan, is preparing to make his reentrance into the world. An acclaimed and much beloved fantasist best known for her popular Adept and Knights Templar series and her chronicles of the magical Deryni, Katherine Kurtz now displays another side of her extraordinary talent and succeeds magnificently. St. Patrick's Gargoyle is a delightful feast of the imagination, rich in Celtic lore and religious arcana, and brimming with wit and heart, wonder and magic. "

The Barnabas Factor: How Crosscultural Partnership Amplifies Global Mission

"Global Voices on Global Mission Global mission has moved into a new era when it is no longer just 'from the West to the rest' but rather 'from everywhere to everywhere.' But too often mission workers have not partnered well with local communities, hurting Christian witness and ministry efforts. And as the global church sends more and more missionaries, how can we learn from the past, develop new ways of partnering, and avoid repeating these same mistakes? The book of Acts provides a role model. Many people go into global missions to be like Paul, the pioneer taking the gospel to places where people have never heard. But in an era of mission when the church is truly global, Paul's companion Barnabas is an exceptional model of mission service. In this multifaceted volume, mission practitioners from around the world unpack the life and ministry of Barnabas. Contributors from Zambia, Bosnia, Australia, India, Ghana, New Zealand, Latin America, and the United States provide diverse experiences, global viewpoints, and best practices for effective mission partnerships that embrace humility, generosity, and mutuality."

Christ and Covenant in Global Politics: A Christian Introduction to International Relations

"Christ and Covenant in Global Politics casts a compelling vision for a Christian approach to international relations that seeks to transform global politics from systems driven by fear to covenantal global community based in shared loves, drawing on Augustine's understanding of rightly ordered loves and a contemporary Christian notion of covenantal pluralism. This groundbreaking textbook is designed for professors and students of international relations, offering a unique, faith-driven approach to global politics. In Christ and Covenant in Global Politics, Robert Joustra introduces international relations through a distinctly Christian lens; demonstrates how the Christian worldview can positively shape international politics; equips students to thoughtfully engage with pluralism and multiculturalism in international politics; and moves beyond discussions of biblical justice within states toward discussions of biblical justice between and among states. Christ and Covenant in Global Politics is a first-of-its-kind work that provides a comprehensive introduction to the state of international relations theory today as well as a constructive account of a truly Christian vision for global politics."

The Sacredness of the Moment: Abandonment to Divine Providence

"Where God Is Found 'God continues to speak today,' says renowned French Jesuit writer Jean-Pierre de Caussade. Yet de Caussade explains that He doesn't always speak in ways we expect. His will isn't always revealed to us in a broad vision for our lives or overt direction. His voice and His will can be discovered in our everyday world as we give our lives to Him in complete trust and allow Him to work out His purposes for us. God and His unfolding will are active in your life as you eat, sleep, work, rest, visit, write, converse, pray, worship, and travel. He is present to you in both peaceful times and difficult circumstances. As a spiritual guide and mentor, de Caussade encourages you to follow God in each moment, considering it sacred: 'In the state of abandonment, the only rule is the duty of the present moment. In this the soul is light as a feather, liquid as water, simple as a child, active as a ball in receiving and following all the inspirations of grace.' Start looking for God in every moment of your day and find the joy of living in His presence and fulfilling His divine will for your life."

Blessed Mary and the Monks of England: Benedictines and Cistercians, 1000–1215

"In the study of historical Mariology, the monastic communities of England in the eleventh and twelfth centuries receive too little attention. This 'monastic age' was a time of great flourishing for both religious life and Mariology, marked by new currents of prayer and thought. Matthew Mills uncovers and draws together vibrant contributions to Marian doctrine and devotion by some of those then living in England under the sixth-century Rule of St. Benedict: the Benedictines and their successors, the Cistercians. In a thematic unfolding of Mary's life and identity, a picture emerges of a Mariology shaped by the constant of monastic liturgy, anchored in the biblical and patristic wisdom cherished and transmitted by the Venerable Bede, and animated by love. Towering figures are also placed within a wider landscape alongside lesser known but still significant others. England's monastic Mariology was colored by Greek as well as Latin influences and touched by key experiences of the contemporary church at large: apocalyptic disappointment, reform, sacramentalism, and intense yearning for salvation. Mills brings to light the significance of Mary for monks' understanding of their own profession: their mother and their lady, Mary was also their icon and exemplar of life in St Benedict's 'school for the Lord's service' (Rule, Prol. 45)."

Rome's Great Eastern War: Lucullus, Pompey and the Conquest of the East, 74–62 BC

"This military history of Ancient Rome analyses the empire's revitalized push against rising enemies to the East. In the century since Rome's defeat of the Seleucid Empire in the 180s BC, the East was dominated by the rise of new empires: Parthia, Armenia, and Pontus, each vying to recreate the glories of the Persian Empire. By the 80s BC, the Pontic Empire of Mithridates had grown so bold that it invaded and annexed the whole of Rome's eastern empire and occupied Greece itself. But as Rome emerged from the devastating effects of the First Civil War, a new breed of general emerged with it, eager to re-assert Roman military dominance and carve out a fresh empire in the east. In Rome's Great Eastern War, Gareth C. Sampson analyzes the military campaigns and battles between a revitalized Rome and the various powers of the eastern Mediterranean hinterland. He demonstrates how this series of conflicts ultimately heralded a new phase in Roman imperial expansion and reshaped the ancient East."

Engineering Hitler's Downfall: The Brains that Enabled Victory

"While living in Liverpool, Britain's second most heavily bombed city during World War II, the author experienced firsthand the terrible effects of the war on the civilian population and when studying at Cambridge he witnessed the American heavy bombers and their fighter escorts flying to attack targets in Germany and occupied Europe. Serving as an engineering officer in the Royal Navy in HMS Sheffield provided firsthand realization of the importance of engineering and emphasized that victories achieved in the Battle of Britain and other campaigns were made possible by newly-developed machines, equipment, or techniques. These innovations gave the Allied forces a significant advantage and helped ensure eventual victory. Engineering Hitler's Downfall features numerous inventions such as the decoding machines developed at Bletchley Park; the hand-held mine detectors that cleared pathways through enemy minefields, firstly at the Battle of el Alamein but also in most subsequent actions; the newly-located factories and tanks that enabled the Russians to repulse the German invasion; the escort carriers and long range aircraft that enabled U-boats to be attacked in the mid-Atlantic; and the 4000 plus Bailey bridges that allowed narrow ravines and rivers as wide as the Rhine to be crossed. These and many other examples illustrate what was achieved under such immense pressure."
