Bob is stalked by a murderous, alcoholic ex-husband, but his real trouble is spiritual. Once adept at Vipassana meditation, he has almost lost hope of ever reclaiming the sublime discipline and grace he lost after his wife died. On a solitary backwoods “vision-quest” he meditates with stubborn desperation, but has a near fatal accident. He is helped unexpectedly by a hyper-intelligent interdimensional being who sparkles with irreverent humor. Later this otherworldly ally aids Bob and his old friend, Billy Hillerman, a PhD drop-out recluse, in solving a strange supernatural mystery which has haunted them since their youth. Back then a ghostly woman in an antiquated gown appeared to them in a coastal hamlet and tried to lure them into an old house. They escaped with a vague promise to return. Decades later they are able to step out of ordinary reality and find out who she and her ghostly friends are, and deeper truths about surprising connections beyond the grave.</p> <p><a href="http://www.friesenpress.com/bookstore/title/119734000004420414/M.-H.-Anifantakis-This-Moment-Is-My-Home" title="This Moment Is My Home">Order Now</a></p> M.

But how do ordinary folks perceive the young rabbi? Amos, the baker of the village, struggles to reconcile his old ideas about the Messiah with the image of his new friend Yeshua, hailed by some as the Son of God. </p><p>Soon a devastating loss makes Amos’ world crumble. Judas Iscariot and the butcher, Barabbas, are among the suspects. Comforted by Yeshua, Amos airs the question that many have uttered in despair: “Why are nasty burdens laid upon nice people?” </p><p>In his search for answers, the abduction of Amos’ friend, Mary Magdalene, brings them in contact with Bedouins in the Negev. They discover that these nomads, too, search for clarity about the Messiah. At the Hanukkah feast, the Great One stuns Jews and Arabs alike with new perspectives on the first and second coming of the Messiah. </p><p>Amos soon witnesses how the worst is laid upon the best at the Place of the Skull. This seemingly tragic end of a good life spawns astounding blessings for Amos, his friends, and even his former enemies.</p> <p><a href="http://www.friesenpress.com/bookstore/title/119734000005083174/Jacob-M.-Van-Zyl-The-Baker-of-Capernaum" title="The Baker of Capernaum">Order Now</a></p> Jacob M.

Historically authentic settings and mores rekindle the past: backwoods Kentucky… a booming young Detroit… anti-German hostility during The Great War… whiskey-running and speakeasies... twists of fortune after The Crash… the Machiavellian inner sanctums of the world's largest industry… the World War II American home front… sea-changes in society and in private lives that accompanied Post-War normalcy. </p><p></p><p>Gradually, the saga coheres on the pathways of its two protagonists: Elgan, a complex, introspective Southern boy whose demons drive him to escape a numbing poverty of the coal fields for a new identity; Grace, the stalwart city girl, paternally orphaned at seven, a realist making the best of a damaged life with irony and industry.</p><p></p><p>The pathways to faith are badly marked and studded with mines. The pilgrim, however brave, is often his own greatest obstacle. Elgan and Grace is one man’s witness to what really happened. It is written with passion, literary care, and good humor, for these times and for the generations that come next.</p> <p><a href="http://www.friesenpress.com/bookstore/title/119734000002847774/L-E-Taylor-Elgan-and-Grace" title="Elgan and Grace">Order Now</a></p> L E Taylor http://www.friesenpress.com/bookstore/title/119734000002847774/L-E-Taylor-Elgan-and-Grace 119734000002847774 2012-05-22 16:50:06.776000 Fiction, Historical/Fiction, Sagas/Fiction, Biographical Lean on me, Lee <img src="http://friesenpress-bookstore.s3.amazonaws.com/119734000001852152/Cover.256.jpg" style="float:left; margin-right:1em; border:1px solid #ccc;" /> <p>Lean on me, Lee is a story of an unusual little duck and little chick.

Is it by moving out of our parents’</p><p>house? Earning an independent income? Getting married? Having</p><p>children? Buying a house? Those are the benchmarks most of us</p><p>use, but Growing Up suggests that maturity is more about qualities</p><p>of character. Through the poignant stories of nearly half a century</p><p>working with young people as a teacher, school administrator,</p><p>high school and college chaplain, parish priest, and father of three,</p><p>Frank Strasburger shares the encouraging news that the pace and</p><p>power with which we become adults is largely within our control.</p><p>Chapter by chapter, he unfolds the real process of growing up:</p><p>facing down the fear of failure, wrestling honestly with identity</p><p>and relationship, finding passion, overcoming illusions of power,</p><p>discovering faith, and discerning a sense of mission. Strasburger’s</p><p>bottom line: it is in serving others that we become the people we’re</p><p>meant to be.</p> <p><a href="http://www.friesenpress.com/bookstore/title/119734000004498847/Frank-C.-Strasburger-Growing-Up" title="Growing Up">Order Now</a></p> Frank C.
