When Moses asked God to show him his glory, the Lord passed before him and proclaimed his name. And from that name cascaded a promise of grace and love, compassion and faithfulness, forgiveness and slowness to anger. The story is told in Exodus 34:5-7, but the resonant name reverberates through the corridors of Scripture. Michael Knowles teases out the rich dimensions and implications of this name by listening carefully to Exodus 34 and its biblical echoes. He particularly tunes his ear to the spiritual meditations of later sages. In tracing the unfolding mystery of the divine name throughout the span of Israel's story, he finds it startlingly resolved in the God of Sinai becoming present in our midst. The manifold name of God has long captivated those who trace their spiritual ancestry to Abraham, whether they are Jewish, Christian or Muslim. This book brings this spiritual quest into dialogue with Scripture and tradition, and invites us to experience this God of the eternal name.

When The Church Rides the Beast Unfolding a Rome Centered Mystery! With impassioned words Paul said, Let no man deceive you, That day [second coming] shall not come, exceptthat man of sin be revealed (1 Thessalonians 2:3)! It is now the time to unmincingly affirm that the antichrist is personified in the head of the Roman Catholic Church. Its history alone cries out with sullen voices of arrogance: Every cleric must obey the Pope, even if he commands what is evil; for no one may judge the Pope.- Pope Innocent III (1198-1216 A.D). Its code of laws conveys supreme power to the Pope: The First See [Rome/papacy] is judged by no one. It is the right of the Roman Pontiff himself alone to judgethose who hold the highest civil office in a state.-Canon 1404. There is neither appeal nor recourse against a decision or decree of the Roman Pontiff.-Canon 333-03. When Pope Benedict XVI was Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, he immortalized Romes usurpation of Gods place within the church by publishing Dominus Iesus (August 5, 2000). He noted that all non-Catholic Christian communities were either defective or not true churches. He pointedly said that salvation was available only through the Roman Catholic Church. Stunning was this declaration, leaving behind our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Paul noted that the Man of sin exalteth himself, sitting in the temple of God, working with all deceivableness (II Thessalonians 2:3-10). Even the famed and much-quoted 19th century Baptist preacher Charles Spurgeon said: It is theduty of every Christian to pray against [the] Antichrist, and as to what antichrist is no sane man ought to raise a question. If it be not the Popery in the Church of Rome there is nothing in the world that can be called by that name. This book candidly unfolds verse by verse the very center of Johns apocalyptic prophecy which describes the final work of this antichrist. In arresting detail God discloses the horrifying suppressive power this church will soon wield, the prodigious seat the little Vatican state has provided its leaders, and most disconcerting, the worlds gullible worship of its falsehood. This amazing document mines the very depths of what God has revealed. In ways never before opened to the student of last-day events, the Christian is warned of papal deceptions that are beginning to enamor a submissive nave world.

Winner of the 2021 Bony Blithe Light Mystery Award “An intriguing mix of character, plot, time, and place. Highly recommended.” —Ian Hamilton, author of the bestselling Ava Lee novels Lane and Darling's Arizona honeymoon is interrupted by gunshots in the newest instalment in a series Kirkus Reviews calls "relentlessly exciting." It’s November, and Lane and Darling have escaped the chilly autumn in the Kootenays for a honeymoon at the posh and romantic Santa Cruz Inn in sunny Tucson, Arizona. But despite her very best intentions to relax, soon after their arrival Lane’s plans to spend the holiday poolside with a good mystery are interrupted by gunfire. One of the hotel’s wealthy guests has been shot point blank and Lane is second on the scene. Though Lane and Darling attempt to distance themselves from the investigation, the longer they stay at the Santa Cruz Inn, the deeper they are drawn into a web of suspects and bystanders, and a collection of seemingly perfect marriages fraught with jealousy and violence. The situation threatens first their honeymoon and then their lives when Lane puts herself directly in the sights of local criminals who will stop at nothing to get what they want. Back in Nelson, Sergeant Ames has been left in charge of the department during Darling’s absence. As he investigates a case of vandalism at the Van Eyck garage, it seems to lead directly to the death of the suspected vandal himself. Working with Constable Terrell, the new recruit, to piece together what happened in this strange and unsettling murder, Ames finds his romantic interest in mechanic Tina Van Eyck creates complications that are more than awkward; they could be deadly. Fans of Maisie Dobbs and the Kopp sisters will delight in the latest Lane Winslow, a study of matrimony and mirage in the American Southwest.

Unfolding Practice: Reflections on Learning and Teaching is a conversation between two artist-educators. Flowing across five chapters, the double sided accordion book has been curated from ten years of recorded conversations, field notes, planning, sketches, reflection, and teaching. The front of the book weaves text, illustration, cutouts, and screen prints, journeying through artistic process and educational practice. The back of the book is a guide, expanding on the practice of using accordion books as a tool for capturing, visualizing, and building upon reflective thinking. The brown paper alludes to the craft paper that is ubiquitous in schools and captures process more than the preciousness of a final product.
