When death comes to a spouse, does the surviving spouse face a lonely sojourn on Earth in which reminiscing becomes the only recourse to experiencing those treasured joys of wedded bliss? Must the survivor receive consolation from merely an expected future reunion at death? Is the cherished loved one dead and gone—or alive in an inaccessible world beyond? How the surviving spouse chooses to answer these questions, in a way, is a matter of life and death. Must the surviving spouse languish in a world of perceived loss? Or is the “departed” loved one available and anxious to continue the life of wedded bliss? The poems in this book are written with a view to reaching people who find themselves in the situation of pondering these questions. Can there really be an Earthly/heavenly romance in which the beloved “departed” is not “dead and gone,” but “alive and here?” The poems in this book answer that question with a resounding “Yes!” As the last couplet of poem 4, “A Heavenly Hum,” says: Reminisce, my Earthly man, Rememb’ring THIS—We live again.

Leonora by Maria Edgeworth is about the newly married Leonora and her decision to bring back to England a woman who had been exiled to France. The woman, Olivia, is known as a "coquette," and her controversial behavior about her marriage had driven her to France, where she cultivated an aristocratic, "French" sensibility that exists apart from conventional morality. Excerpt: "What a misfortune it is to be born a woman! In vain, dear Leonora, would you reconcile me to my doom? Condemned to incessant hypocrisy, or everlasting misery, a woman is the slave or the outcast of society. Confidence in our fellow creatures, or ourselves, alike forbidden us, to what purpose have we understandings, which we may not use? hearts, which we may not trust?"

The Complete Prayers of St. Francis and St. Clare, with Selections from Brother Juniper, St. Anthony of Padua, and Other Early Franciscans We do not immediately associate Francis and Clare with prayer and praying. St. Francis, according to the most common legends, rarely sat still. St. Clare did, more so, but that was probably mostly because of the convent and the grille and the conventions of the time: she couldn’t be a walkabout friar. However, they did sit still. And they stood. And they danced. And they fasted. And they sang. In all these ways, Francis and Clare prayed for hours each day, as did the brothers and sisters who came after them on the Franciscan way. This prayer book gathers the stories and words of the prayer life and prayers of these remarkable Christians.

It follows a family from the Middle Ages in Holland to the Twentieth Century in Oklahoma. The family chooses a unique faith--Anabaptist-Mennonite--and for that reason they are hounded across Europe by the political and religious establishment.

The Sabbath is the original feast day, a day of joy and freedom from work, a holy day that allows us to reconnect with God, our fellows and nature. Now, in a compelling blend of journalism, scholarship and personal memoir, Christopher D. Ringwald examines the Sabbath from Creation to the present, weaving together the stories of three families, three religions and three thousand years of history. A Day Apart is the first book to examine the Sabbath in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. A marvelously readable book, it describes the three weekly holy days--the Muslim Juma on Friday, the Jewish Shabbat on Saturday and the Christian Lord's Day on Sunday--and introduces us to three families, including Ringwald's own, and shows how they observe the holy day and what it means to them. The heart of the book recounts the history of the Sabbath, ranging from the Creation story and Moses on Mount Sinai to the teachings of Jesus and Muhammad, the impact of the Protestant Reformation and the Industrial Revolution, and the rise of the modern weekend. Ringwald shows that the Sabbath instinct, to observe a special day of withdrawal and repose, is universal. Indeed, all religions and philosophies teach that life is more than toil, that time should be set aside for contemplation, enjoyment and culture. In today's frantic 24/7 world, the Sabbath--a day devoted to rest and contemplation--has never been more necessary. A Day Apart offers a portrait of a truly timeless way to escape the everyday world and add meaning to our lives. "I can not recall reading anything on the three faiths that so deftly engages them in robust conversation. Amazingly learned, Ringwald nonetheless has a light, friendly touch. The warmth of his soul is unmistakable." --Christian Century
