EARL woke in the body of his new lover. He found himself pawn in her plot, deposited in the hands of a Family off-kilter. Trickster fox spirits, their rules unwritten, and he to play the pretty doll in her skin among them. VALENTINE stole a man’s body from great need. How else was she to infiltrate the halls of power against those who could smell her Kitsune blood? She fought against a god, searching for the means to free her family from that despotic rule before they were driven to extinction. YET Earl had no intention of playing out a meek fantasy, and Valentine would find the power she faced hungrier and more powerful than even a clever Kitsune could expect. TOGETHER, they would live or die – and the Kitsune with them.

We're all called to sainthood. (What else is there?) And we have living examples of holy men and women who overcame the same types of temptations we face and shortcomings we all have, to become "huge, blinking neon signs that pointed to Jesus." And if they can do it, so can we...with a little practice. Author, speaker, and dynamic Catholic convert Matthew Leonard combines the stories of the saints triumphs and struggles along with his own personal anecdotes and wry humor to give us a (very) fresh take on the art of being truly Catholic in a contemporary world. “We all need help to grow spiritually, especially when it comes to cultivating a life of prayer and holiness … Matt Leonard shows us the way. Full of biblical wisdom and practical insight, readers will be inspired and challenged to grow, and then motivated and empowered to go forth.” —Dr. Scott Hahn, best selling author and speaker “‘Louder Than Words’ is a theological thrill ride, one that will leave you breathless and exhilarated by God’s love. Matthew Leonard knows the Catholic faith and, even more impressively, he knows how to articulate it in a way few others can. This book inspires while it challenges – echoing Sacred Scripture, it will both comfort you in your afflictions and afflict you where you might have grown too comfortable. Do yourself and your loved ones a favor and get this book.” —Mark Hart, author, speaker, and Executive Vice President of Life Teen International “Matt Leonard wants to show us that God repeatedly chooses weak folks like us to accomplish glorious things.” –From the foreword by Mike Aquilina, author of more than 40 books and EWTN personality

Maybe you’ve read stories about millionaires who travel to Tibet to learn how to meditate. Maybe you know someone who visited a monastery for a month to learn how to pray. Maybe you don’t have that kind of money or spare time. But you still want to learn to pray. Don’t worry. You don’t need money or a monastery. You have this book. You have a sense of humor. And you have God’s grace. You’re ready to pray. Prayer is how we talk with God. The Bible says we should do it constantly. Jesus said it’s the one thing we need to do. Your soul was made to be in conversation with God. Nobody knows you better. Nobody cares more about you. The good news is that prayer isn’t something exotic or esoteric – not when Matthew Leonard talks about it. He makes the methods manageable. (Promise: you won’t have to twist your body into a pretzel, hire a coach, or learn a foreign language.) So if you’ve never read a book on prayer, you’ve got the right one. And if you’ve read lots of books on prayer, you’ve still got the right one. It’s got laugh-out-loud humor, great storytelling, and rock-solid instruction. Prayer Works is fun and fast-paced. It will put you on your knees – after you’re finished slapping them. This is authentic Catholic spirituality as you've never encountered before. “Matthew Leonard shows us the joy of the life of prayer, the spiritual life - whatever you wish to call it. This book is for everybody, not matter your age, state in life, or how many or how few books you've already read on prayer.” —Dr. Scott Hahn, Author of numerous books and Professor of Theology, Franciscan University of Steubenville

St. Teresa of Avila's Nine Grades of Prayer

Mitch, Curtis

Beneath the Killing Fields of the Western Front still lies a hidden landscape of industrialized conflict virtually untouched since 1918. This subterranean world is an ambiguous environment filled with material culture that that objectifies the scope and depth of human interaction with the diverse conflict landscapes of modern war. Covering the military reasoning for taking the war underground, as well as exploring the way that human beings interacted with these extraordinary alien environments, this book provides a more all-encompassing overview of the Western Front. The underground war was intrinsic to trench warfare and involved far more than simply trying to destroy the enemy’s trenches from below. It also served as a home to thousands of men, protecting them from the metallic landscapes of the surface. With the aid of cutting edge fieldwork conducted by the author in these subterranean locales, this book combines military history, archaeology and anthropology together with primary data and unique imagery of British, French, German and American underground defenses in order to explore the realities of subterranean warfare on the Western Front, and the effects on the human body and mind that living and fighting underground inevitably entailed.

The poppy has been the enduring symbol of World War I since the years of the war itself, and it now embodies a century of ever-changing attitudes towards the world’s first global war. But the Great War didn’t represent the poppy’s first association with combat—long before 1914, it was seen as an emblem of war, both its heroism and its futility.Poppyganda uncovers the history of the poppy and its relationship to warfare, showing how it has been used by various factions over the centuries to both justify and condemn war, and how it continues to be a potent symbol today, one that plays a part, both rueful and celebratory, in nearly every commemoration of World War I.
