A review: “Private life has always been a matter of public conjecture. This admirable book brings it intelligently into the web of social history and is a model for historians and readers like. Beautifully produced, it adds apt and rare illustrations to a text by experts who presuppose human curiosity, but no undue knowledge. Its range and level of argument will intrigue anyone who has wondered about past attitudes to such matters as sex and the family, household, social inferiors, dress, and even undress.”  -The Washington Post

The Urgent Marian Message of Hope

Though the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima took place almost a hundred years ago, Our Lady's call to prayer and penance for the salvation of souls and peace in the world is as relevant now as when first delivered to three Portuguese peasant children in 1917. At the peak of the First World War, Our Lady warned of another worldwide conflict, the rise and spread of Communism, and a terrible persecution of the Church unless people repented of their sins and returned to God. She also requested devotion to her Immaculate Heart and a special consecration of Russia. Much of what Our Lady of Fatima said was revealed soon after her appearances, but the third and final secret, which was not a message but a prophetic vision seen by the children, was not unveiled by the Vatican until 2000. Pope John Paul II, who read the third secret while recovering from the attempt upon his life in 1981, believed the vision signified the sufferings the Church had endured in the twentieth century. Because of the prophetic nature of her messages, Our Lady of Fatima has been the subject of much controversy and speculation. In this book, Father Andrew Apostoli carefully analyzes the events that took place in Fatima and clears up lingering questions and doubts about their meaning. He also challenges the reader to hear anew the call of Our Lady to prayer and sacrifice, for the world is ever in need of generous hearts willing to make reparation for those in danger of losing their way to God.

The Truth about God's Pharmacy

Maggie shares her strategies on exactly how she beat stage 4 cancer- naturally right from her own kitchen! Maggie reconnected with her Ozark Valley country roots, concocting and de-concocting powerful folk remedies designed to attack cancer cells. Through extensive research, Maggie discovered additional folk remedies from around the world that harness the power of the planet's most nutrient dense foods. Maggie brilliantly combined all these resources with elements of other proven protocols into one easy to understand step by step protocol. While many books will focus on the emotional aspects of fighting cancer, Maggie's book gives the reader her formula on precisely how she beat stage four cancer. When diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, Maggie searched for the ultimate book on how to beat cancer, but there was none to be found. Being the determined fighter that she is, she prayed to God for wisdom in her battle with cancer. Ultimately, this is the book that came from that prayer.Now includes index.

Boethius

David R. Slavitt

Seth Lerer

Book is in excellent shape with perfect binding. Listed as ‘Good’ because there is a lot of pencil underlining and some notes throughout the book. See photos for examples.

In this highly praised new translation of Boethius's The Consolation of Philosophy, David R. Slavitt presents a graceful, accessible, and modern version for both longtime admirers of one of the great masterpieces of philosophical literature and those encountering it for the first time. Slavitt preserves the distinction between the alternating verse and prose sections in the Latin original, allowing us to appreciate the Menippian parallels between the discourses of literary and logical inquiry. His prose translations are lively and colloquial, conveying the argumentative, occasionally bantering tone of the original, while his verse translations restore the beauty and power of Boethius's poetry. The result is a major contribution to the art of translation.

Those less familiar with Consolation may remember it was written under a death sentence. Boethius (c. 480-524), an Imperial official under Theodoric, Ostrogoth ruler of Rome, found himself, in a time of political paranoia, denounced, arrested, and then executed two years later without a trial. Composed while its author was imprisoned, cut off from family and friends, it remains one of Western literature's most eloquent meditations on the transitory nature of earthly belongings, and the superiority of things of the mind. In an artful combination of verse and prose, Slavitt captures the energy and passion of the original. And in an introduction intended for the general reader, Seth Lerer places Boethius's life and achievement in context.

 “Growing Up Around Tombstone is a family history of the Escapules. They are one of the oldest families still living in Tombstone, having integrated from France during the 1870s. The book tells how the escapes mind and built ranches, but mostly it tells of the families, life and struggles as recall by one of the second generation Escapules born in Tombstone. There is a detailed account of family, life, ranch work and horses, working and developing the mines, and making a living. The story takes the reader from the early days of Tombstone, through the war years, and up until the mid-1950s. The Escapules were close, hard-working, and loving family. There’s also a good depiction of life as it was lived by the townspeople.”

The book is rich in old family photographs and documents that help give a sense of the times and how people lived their day to day lives. There are also stories of many of the people living in Tombstone and the surrounding area. Ernest and Mildred Escapule and their family are the main characters. Tombstone, Arizona, became world famous for the rich silver and gold strike before the turn of the century, its lawless days, and the gun fight at the O K Corral.

100 Recipes Bursting with Flavor

Everybody knows how difficult it can be to get a delicious meal on the table night after night, not to mention a healthy one made from real and readily-available ingredients. Enter the air fryer, the must-have, revolutionary kitchen device. As Urvashi Pitre, the best-selling author of Indian Instant Pot Cookbook, will show you, the air fryer makes home cooking easy. Every one of the recipes in this book can be made in an hour or less, and many are on the table in as little as 30 minutes. You won't find "cream of anything" cans in the ingredient list: instead you'll start with fresh ingredients--healthful meats and vegetables--and let the air fryer do the hard work. In her signature way, Pitre will walk you through the simple process so you can learn to use your air fryer like an expert in no time. And there is no shortage of flavors--with recipes inspired by authentic Indian, Korean, Mexican cuisines and more, including Poblano Cheese Frittata, Thai Chicken Sate, Chicken Fajitas, Shrimp Scampi, and Chinese Spare Ribs, to name just a few. And because you're using an air fryer, you won't need to cook with loads of oil to get incredibly tasty results. Just like the recipes on the author's popular blog, twosleevers.com, these recipes will always work perfectly and taste great.



Benefits to Air Fryer Cooking:
 * Minimal oil needed to cook most foods
 * Doesn't heat up entire kitchen
 * Has fan-forced heat so it reduces cooking time by 25 to 35% 
 * Fan-forced heat can produce a crisper outer crust than baking alone
 * More energy efficient: lower temperatures and shorter cooking times
 * Splatters are contained to within the device
 * All of the surfaces (drum and grid/basket) can be put in the dishwasher
 * Smaller footprint than oven so it's great for smaller spaces like dorm rooms, apartments, and RVs.
 * Drastically shorter pre-heating time

Sue Monk Kidd

This copy has never been read, all pages are clean and unmarked and spine is perfect. The coating on the front cover is worn off in one spot for some reason, but it in no way affects the book (I tried to photograph this spot, see photos, it’s just like the cover is a soft matte finish except this one area which is glossy).

New Seeds of Contemplation is one of Thomas Merton's most widely read and best-loved books. Christians and non-Christians alike have joined in praising it as a notable successor in the meditative tradition of St. John of the Cross, The Cloud of Unknowing, and the medieval mystics, while others have compared Merton's reflections with those of Thoreau. New Seeds of Contemplation seeks to awaken the dormant inner depths of the spirit so long neglected by Western man, to nurture a deeply contemplative and mystical dimension in our lives. For Merton, "Every moment and every event of every man's life on earth plants something in his soul. For just as the wind carries thousands of winged seeds, so each moment brings with it germs of spiritual vitality that come to rest imperceptibly in the minds and wills of men. Most of these unnumbered seeds perish and are lost, because men are not prepared to receive them: for such seeds as these cannot spring up anywhere except in the soil of freedom, spontaneity and love."
