Book Description
It's Christmastime in Marble Cove, Maine and miracles abound for four dear friends and neighbors in this charming seaside village. When Diane Spencer, Shelley Bauer, Margaret Hoskins, and Beverly Mackenzie each receive a mysterious Christmas gift, it sets them on journeys of discovery as the holiday approaches. And when they set out to resurrect a forgotten town tradition, there's no telling what might happen. In The Sounding Joy, finding the sets for the living Nativity feels like an insurmountable challenge for Margaret, whose already fragile Christmas spirit is dampened by the discovery that her Down syndrome daughter won't be home for the holiday. The inexplicable arrival of a child's Popsicle stick decoration on her doorstep brings an unforgettable encounter with a young man seeking answers in Marble Cove --and renewed joy for Margaret when she discovers the miraculous story behind the homemade ornament. In Love's Pure Light, when Beverly discovers a battered old wreath washed up on the beach, it seems strangely familiar to her. What is that snippet of song it evokes each time she looks at it? As she and her friends work together to overcome the last challenges to reviving the living Nativity, can she trace her memories of the haunting melody to uncover the secrets of the wreath and shine the light of love on long-buried family hurts?

Book Description
By the time of his death in 1933 Henri Bremond, priest and member of the elite Academie francaise, had established himself in France, and increasingly in England and the United States, as a distinguished historian of Christian spirituality and as a Catholic modernist who helped to shake the church out of its dogmatic slumbers by embracing "pure love," artistic-poetic expression, and mystical prayer as the privileged manifestations of spiritual truth. Drawing on substantial new scholarship in France, that has resuscitated and reinterpreted Bremond's work for our own times, and that sees Bremond as an important precursor of current trends in literary interpretation as well as spirituality, Gorday surveys the entirety of Bremond's corpus of writing, setting his work in its context of his personal struggles, as well as the wider setting of French historical and cultural development.

Book Description
This book is a collection of poems which I have been inspired to write since I have been baptized in the Holy Spirit. Each poem is of inspirational content. Many people among my Prayer Group have been touched deeply by these words. They have been called "beautiful' And they have been called "moving", life-changing and so on. That is why I feel compelled to have them published as I have been encouraged to do. I feel that the Lord wants more people to have access to these poems.
