This is a life transforming story of a Protestant couple's crisis of faith. Suffering multiple miscarriages, disappointments and a series of unanswered prayers Judy found herself feeling abandoned by God and doubting everything she once believed in. In her confusion she cried out, "If you want me Lord, you are going to have to come down here and show me you're real. Show me that you hear my prayers. I don't know anymore." This is the true story of how God's mercy began to move from the moment that anguished prayer was spoken, lining up people and events that would answer her in the most unexpected and beautiful way. Events that not only changed Judy 's life but also the life of her skeptical husband, who unknown to her, had been keeping a painful secret that left him trapped in his own wounds and feelings of separation from God.Struggling with life and a new marriage, Judy and Don found themselves challenged with the age old questions regarding God. Does He really exist and, if so, was He concerned with the details of their life? Miraculously, the Virgin Mary intervened in this Protestant couple's life with an invitation that would take them on a journey half way around the world. Experience this true story that reads like a modern day Biblical story full of supernatural miracles that revealed the truth of God's existence and His personal love for them. Judy and Don saw angels, signs and wonders and witnessed how the Mother of Jesus is reaching out to a hurting world that has lost its way. The gifts Don and Judy received in a village called Medjugorje led them to Jesus and will strength your faith and leave you with the assurance of a God who loves and knows us all intimately.

Vittoria Colonna (1490-1547) was the genre-defining secular woman writer of Renaissance Italy, whose literary model helped to establish a decorous and wholly assimilated voice for women within the field of Italian literature. The Companion to Vittoria Colonna brings together an international and interdisciplinary group of leading scholars to assess Colonna’s contribution, both as a writer, a role model, and a contributor to important religious debates of the era. This book, while amply fulfilling the remit of providing a useful and comprehensive handbook to meet the needs of students and scholars at earlier and advanced levels, aims in addition to do more than this, by drawing into a single volume for the first time scholarship from across disciplines in which Vittoria Colonna’s influence has been felt, including literary criticism, religious history, history of art and music. Contributors are: Abigail Brundin, Stephen Bowd, Emidio Campi, Eleonora Carinci, Adriana Chemello, Virginia Cox, Tatiana Crivelli, Maria Forcellino, Gaudenz Freuler, Anne Piéjus, Diana Robin, Helena Sanson, and Maria Serena Sapegno.
