Theology and Prince
Prince was a spiritual and musical enigma who sought to transcend race and gender through his words, music, and fashion. Raised as a Seventh-Day Adventist and later going door-to-door as a Jehovah’s Witness, he expressed his faith overtly and allegorically, erotically and poetically. Theology and Prince is an edited collection on theology and the life, music, and films of Prince Rogers Nelson. Written for academics yet accessible for the layperson, this book explores Prince’s ideas of the afterlife; race and social justice activism; eroticism; veganism; spiritual alter egos (with a deep dive into the dark character of “Spooky Electric”); a queer listening of the Purple Rain album; the theology of the Graffiti Bridge film (featuring interviews with co-star Ingrid Chavez and other collaborators), and a story from Texas of a Christian worship service designed around Prince’s music in the wake of his passing. Those interested in theology and popular culture; scholars of social justice, racial identity, LGBTQ+ studies, and gender studies; as well as Prince “fams” will find new ways of viewing Prince’s old and new works.
The Golden Prince
Never cross a Fae prince. And for Sky's sake, don't fall in love with one determined to ruin you. Crispin Lark Elmray is a show-off and a shameless flirt.

So Lovely a Country Will Never Perish
The attack on Pearl Harbor, which precipitated the Greater East Asia War and its initial triumphs, aroused pride and a host of other emotions among the Japanese people. Yet the single year in which Japanese forces occupied territory from Alaska to Indonesia was followed by three years of terrible defeat. Nevertheless, until the end of the war, many Japanese continued to believe in the invincibility of their country. But in the diaries of well-known writers -- including Nagai Kafu, Takami Jun, Yamada Futaru, and Hirabayashi Taiko -- and the scholar Watanabe Kazuo, varying doubts were vividly, though privately, expressed. Weaving archival materials with personal recollections and the intimate accounts themselves, the author reproduces the passions aroused during the war and the sharply contrasting reactions in the year following Japan's surrender. These entries communicate the reality of false victory and all-too-real defeat.

Prince
Legendarily reticent, perverse and misleading, Prince is one of the few remaining 80s superstars who still, perhaps, remains unexplained. Now a firm fixture in the pop canon, where such classics as 'Purple Rain', 'Sign o' the Times' and 'Parade' regularly feature in Best Ever Album polls, Prince is still, as he ever was, an enigma. His live performances are legendary (21 Nights at the O2 in 2007) and while recent releases have been modestly successful at best, his influence on urban music, and R'n'B in particular, has never been more evident. The Minneapolis Sound can now be heard everywhere. Matt Thorne's Prince, through years of research and interviews with ex-Revolution members such as Wendy and Lisa, is an account of a pop maverick whose experiments with rock, funk, techno and jazz revolutionised pop. With reference to every song, released and unreleased, over 35 years of recording, Prince will stand for years to come as the go-to book on the Great Man.

Finding Prince Charming
From USA Today Bestselling Author Nikki Ash comes Finding Prince Charming: a secret baby romance... As a little girl, I dreamed of finding my own Prince Charming-just like in the story my mom used to read to me. But as a woman who grew up living a life that was anything but a fairy tale, I never expected it to happen to me, and certainly not in the bordello I worked at in Las Vegas. When our eyes locked, I knew, in another life, Liam could easily be my Prince Charming, but in my world, those kind of men didn't exist. He was determined to prove me wrong, though, and in one weekend, he not only showed me the world in a different light, but made me feel like a princess-before he disappeared without a trace. After he walked away, I was determined to write my own happy ending-turns out the first chapter was becoming a single mom. Because that handsome prince... He left me the most exquisite crown jewel, who's now my entire world. And while I might've given up on finding my Prince Charming, I'll make sure my daughter has the fairy-tale life I never did. *Please note: If you purchased Knocked Up: a Secret Baby Anthology, you have purchased this story.*
