Shelby Tomlinson has a doting husband, a beautiful daughter, and a baby boy on the way. She's content with her cozy suburban life—until she learns about lies her husband has been telling. With her world crumbling all around her, Shelby doesn't know if her marriage will be able to stand the test set before them. For years, Jeana Sands has carried a torch for her college sweetheart, Phillip. With each hang-up call she places to Phillip's home, and each time she sees him and his happy little family, her fury increases. Jeana devises a plan to make Phillip pay for pretending to love her, getting her pregnant, and leaving her destitute with a baby to raise. The skeletons from Phillip Tomlinson's closet literally come out and knock on his front door when the ex-girlfriend and love child he has been keeping a secret meet his wife, Shelby, on the doorstep of their home. Their marriage is rocked to the core. Will their faith keep them together?
A memoir of leaving the evangelical church and the search for radical new ways to build community. Jeanna Kadlec knew what it meant to be faithful--in her marriage to a pastor’s son, in the comfortable life ahead of her, in her God--but there was no denying the truth that lived under that conviction: she was queer and, if she wanted to survive, she would need to leave behind the church and every foundational building block she knew. Heretic is a memoir of rebirth. Within, Kadlec reckons with religious trauma and Midwestern values, as a means of unveiling how evangelicalism directly impacts every American--religious or not--and has been a major force in driving our democracy towards fascism...

She chose to follow in her late father’s footsteps to become a medical researcher, never imagining a military unit would need her help as both a researcher, and as the granddaughter of one of the most powerful witches in the country. But the unit needs her on both fronts, and she’s determined to do her best, even if it means going into danger. In a world of shapeshifters and magic, one military unit stands alone… Gifted with superhuman powers by an ancient and capricious djinn...
Within the Eastern tradition of Christianity, the eikon, or religious image, has long held a place of honor. In the greater part of Western Christianity, however, discomfort with images in worship, both statues and panel icons, has been a relatively common current, particularly since the Reformation. In the Roman Catholic Church, after years of using religious statues, the Second Vatican Council’s call for “noble simplicity” in many cases led to a stripping of images that in some ways helped refocus attention on the eucharistic celebration itself but also led to a starkness that has left many Roman Catholics unsure of how to interact with the saints or with religious images at all. Tod...
Too often, the public abortion debate depicts the experience of ending a pregnancy in falsely simplistic terms. Anti-abortion activists falsely contend that abortion is always emotionally damaging for the pregnant person, while pro-choice activists focus on honoring bodily autonomy and personal conscience without always giving voice to the nuances of abortion itself. In particular, the pro-choice movement fails to acknowledge that some people experience abortion as a kind of loss. A Complicated Choice addresses the fact that abortion stigma is ubiquitous, even among those who identify as pro-choice. We have not been supportive of people who have abortions, especially those whose experiences ...
