How can we encounter the risen Lord Jesus in a life-transforming way? How can we be equipped and strengthened to share the message of the resurrection with the world? The post-resurrection encounters between Jesus and the disciples provide us with some of the most profound and personal moments to be found in scripture. The risen Christ comes to his disciples in all their brokenness-their sadness, fear, doubt, shattered dreams and failure-and calls them to a future filled with hope, confidence, confirmed faith, new beginnings and restored lives. Encountering the Risen Christ reflects on the main characters in the post-resurrection accounts and shows how we too can encounter Jesus Christ in a life-transforming way. The seven chapters plus discussion material can be used across the seven weeks from Easter to Pentecost in individual reflection or group study, or at any time of year.

Have faith. In yourself. Is there a higher self? As there a part of us that exists somewhere else? Are we the lower, physical portion of something more? Mark Bradford explores these questions candidly, and what that means if true. As arguably the deepest and most profound of subjects, one must tread lightly. I have no idea how many books are written in modern times that introduce a "new religion." This is not a book about vibrations, or crystals, or potions. This is also not a book about something that happened thousands of years ago, or writings that were found on a scroll or a tablet or a cave wall. This is instead a book about a hypothetical concept - one that if is correct will correct in spite of or regardless of your awareness or belief in it.

Upside Down: The 1,000 Year History of the Saints. (The Sword and the Sunflower)

When a chance meeting with an old man leads to a captivating story, the author is swept into a journey through time and the paranormal. Starting in 1966 at Oxford College, the story follows a professor's pet project to uncover a message that spans all of written history-a message from the devil himself. He leaned forward, "Do you believe in God?" I swallowed hard. This was not really something we talked about, and unlike now being an atheist wasn't all the rage. It was a personal thing. "Professor?" He did not like my lack of answer. "It's a simple question, young man. Do you believe in God? Or is what a little bird whispered in my ear untrue?" Before I could answer he slapped one of the piles. "...and I am wasting my time again." I struggled to answer him. "I.. Well... What does... Well no." He smiled a satisfied smile and leaned back a little. "Good. Good. This is a good start. Honesty. Finally." He put his spectacles back on and opened up his calendar book to jot a note. He shoved a piece of paper across his desk and pointed at a line with his fountain pen. A rather large blot accumulated as he waited for me to take the pen. "Sign here." --- I met Simon-not surprisingly-at a cafe. As I try to get out at an early hour and write, it seemed that our schedules matched-at least on Sundays. He was a nicely dressed gentleman that had a story to tell...

The Devil's in the Details: The greatest trick wasn't convincing you that he doesn't exist.

With impressive skill, irrepressible spirit, and more than a touch of class, the 2000-01 Notre Dame women's basketball team reached the pinnacle of college basketball and forever secured a place in the storied sports history of the university and in the hearts of thousands of fans. The senior leadership of Naismith Award winner Ruth Riley, Niele Ivey, and Kelley Siemon combined with the exciting and capable play of underclassmen such as Alicia Ratay and Ericka Haney emphatically spells C-H-A-M-P-I-O-N-S. These Lady Irish practiced and played with relentless resolve, endured injuries and setbacks, balanced emotions and studies, and nurtured bonds―on and off the court―giving new meaning to the words "dedication" and "teamwork." Nice Girls Finish First is the behind-the-scenes story of this remarkable group of young women who, with a goal firmly in mind, set a shining and enduring example of how to achieve in college athletics with grit and grace.

Mark Bradford (born 1961) uses materials found in the urban environment such as billboard sheets, posters and newspapers to create expansive, multi-layered paintings comprised entirely of paper. Focused on Bradford's recent body of work inspired by the interstate road network, this new monograph takes its title from a chapter in the memoirs of President Dwight D. Eisenhower about his experience as a member of the Transcontinental Motor Convoy of 1919, which informed his support for a nationwide highway system in the US in the 1950s. Topographical points of reference shift in and out of focus in Bradford's abstract compositions, characterized by ruptures, fractures and incisions that echo the social disruption that followed when interstate highways ripped through communities like Bradford's own in south central Los Angeles. Designed in collaboration with the artist, this volume includes an interview with Susan May and a new essay by Christopher Bedford.
