Dwelling in the Vast Divine. 1
Dwelling in the Vast Divine: A Serialized Memoir is a Southern memory of a family as seen through the eyes of a child who found it safest to "hide and watch" the hapless adults around her as they succumbed to the chaos they'd created. Operating on primal impulses the family existed from one sordid crisis to the next. Luckily, for readers and listeners, as a grown woman the family "observer" developed into a self-aware, witty story-teller. She tells us the tale of her slow-motion escape to a new life in New York with painful clarity and a keen sense of irony. The author has written a disturbing, but achingly funny narrative about a family you won't forget.

Living with Cancer
In November of 2015, author Gayle Leslie Henderson was admitted to the hospital with an acute sciatica episode with extraordinary pain, which had never occurred before and has never occurred again. Her ultimate diagnosis remains HR-positive HER2-negative postmenopausal metastatic bilateral breast cancer, stage IV. That’s not where the story ends, instead, it’s where this story begins. In Living with Cancer, Henderson offers a collection of fourteen independent essays from her journals that stand on their own. Each chapter focuses on aspects of her journey after her cancer diagnosis and highlights lessons that cry out to be shared. The chapter division pages feature mandala images to color that encourage you to exercise your creativity with bold coloring and personal interpretation. Highly influenced by Henderson’s spiritual journey, Living with Cancer offers guidance and tips for learning to manage and live with your new reality from someone who’s been there and understands. She hopes to help lighten your burden and give you a sense of comfort that you’re not alone.
The Enlightenment and Original Sin
"What was the Enlightenment? This question has been endlessly debated. In this book, historian Matthew Kadane advances the bold claim that Enlightenment is best defined through what it set out to accomplish, which was nothing short of rethinking the meaning of human nature. Kadane argues that this project centered around the doctrine of original sin and, ultimately, its rejection, signaling the radical notion that an inherently flawed nature can be overcome by human means. Kadane explores these ambitious, wide-ranging themes through the story of the largely unknown Pentecost Barker, an eighteenth-century "purser" and wine merchant. Examining Barker's diary and correspondence with a Unitarian minister, Kadane tracks the transformation of Barker's consciousness from a Puritan to an Enlightenment outlook. In one man's conversion, Kadane tracks large-scale shifts in self-understanding whose philosophical reverberations would (and have continued to) shape debates on human nature for centuries to come"--
