A Treasure Reborn
by Pamela GriffinDerek is after what's rightfully his. Derek Burke's father never gave him so much as a kind word during his life, but before his death, he left him one piece of a crude map to a silver mine.

As the oldest son, Derek is outraged at having to share this inheritance. Will stealing the map from his siblings and striking out alone bring Derek success in his hunt for treasure? Or will reluctantly helping Penny Crawder, a young widow, and her daughters cross the wilds of Nevada make him realize what's truly valuable?

A Treatise of Relics
by John CalvinSt Augustinus complains, in his work entitled "The Labour of Monks," that certain people were, even in his time, exercising a dishonest trade, hawking about relics of martyrs, and he adds the following significant words, "should they really be relics of martyrs," from which we may infer, that even then abuses and deceits were practised, by making simple folks believe that bones, picked up any where, were bones of saints. Since the origin of this abuse is so ancient, there can be no doubt that it has greatly increased during a long interval of years, particularly as the world has been much corrupted since that age, and has continued to deteriorate until it has arrived at its present condition.

A Tremor of Bliss: Sex, Catholicism, and Rock 'n' Roll
by Mark JudgeUp to the current day, matters of sexual morality—including contraception, abortion, premarital sex, and gay marriage—have polarized the Catholic Church. In the wake of the turmoil of the 1960s, when liberal theologians challenged the Church’s traditional views on the subject, a schism has opened. Much of the world, and many Catholics themselves, believe that the views of each camp are clear and well defined. As Mark Judge reveals in this trenchant and illuminating defense of the teachings of his Church, this is far from the case. Without sensationalism, Judge is candid here about his personal journey from the playgrounds of the sexual revolution to his eventual belief in the need to combine sexuality with love and commitment to another person, not as an end in itself but rather as a particularly direct means of opening oneself up to God’s love. He also sees support for the Christian theology on love in a seemingly unlikely place: rock music. He delves into the Church’s teachings on sexual matters, going back to the time of Saint Augustine, Saint Thomas Aquinas, Saint John of the Cross, and Pope John Paul II while also acquainting us with more contemporary voices from within the Church—as well as from the pop charts.From the Trade Paperback edition.
