We Are Spirit
We Are Spirit is a work of spiritual insight based on conversations between Ken Comerford and his departed wife, Grayce Dian, who began communicating with him telepathically shortly after she passed away in 2012: "Ken stepped outside of his apartment and glanced up at the stars overhead on a clear Colorado evening. He spoke to Dian about this date being their fifty-fifth anniversary and told her how much he still loved her and how terribly he missed her. Although he had sensed her presence many times since her passing, he was surprised when Dian spoke back to him." Dian's revelations form the inspiration for this wide-ranging philosophical work that discusses why we are here on earth and what lies ahead for each of us in the many lives that we are to share and experience together in the future.
Holy Boldness
From its inception in the nineteenth century, the Wesleyan/Holiness religious tradition has offered an alternative construction of gender and supported the equality of the sexes. In Holy Boldness, Susie C. Stanley provides a comprehensive analysis of spiritual autobiographies by thirty-four American Wesleyan/Holiness women preachers, published between the mid-nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries. While a few of these women, primarily African Americans, have been added to the canon of American women's autobiography, Stanley argues for the expansion of the canon to incorporate the majority of the women in her study. She reveals how these empowered women carried out public ministries on behal...

The Key
After National Park Service Ranger Sarah Higgins helped US Park Police Lieutenant Mike Finnegan solve the theft of a priceless artifact from a federal building in lower Manhattan, she informed Finnegan that she began to receive anonymous letters in her mailbox. The first envelope contained only a key. There was no message or return address. Subsequent envelopes, she said, contained hints to the whereabouts of former superintendent Joe Kozlewski who left the state abruptly after confessing that he assisted the perpetrators who committed the crime in the building he managed. Finnegan, a veteran police officer, ignores the advice of friends and colleagues. He is determined to discover the sourc...
A Deep Sense of Wrong
In 1839 fifty-eight men left Montreal for the penal colony of New South Wales. They were ordinary people who had been caught up in the political whirlwind of the 1838 rebellion. Even though they were all civilians, they had been tried by court martial. Convicted of treason, their properties forfeited to the crown, they paid a heavy price for rebellion. And as convicts in Australia, they were considered the lowest of a bad lot. During their years there, however, they earned the respect of Sydney’s citizens.
Begin Again
A man of extraordinary and seemingly limitless talents—musician, inventor, composer, poet, and even amateur mycologist—John Cage became a central figure of the avant-garde early in his life and remained at that pinnacle until his death in 1992 at the age of eighty. Award-winning biographer Kenneth Silverman gives us the first comprehensive life of this remarkable artist. Silverman begins with Cage’s childhood in interwar Los Angeles and his stay in Paris from 1930 to 1931, where immersion in the burgeoning new musical and artistic movements triggered an explosion of his creativity. Cage continued his studies in the United States with the seminal modern composer Arnold Schoenberg, and h...
