Men Nu Ser Jag - Förvandlingens Teologi
Jag var blind, men nu ser jag. Dessa ord från Johannesevangeliet uttalade av en blind man som blivit botad av Jesus vägleder oss in i hjärtat av all kristen erfarenhet: förvandling. Vad innebär det att möta Kristi ljus? Hur förändrar detta ljus vårt sätt att se? För att svara på dessa frågor tar biskop Robert Barron läsaren med på en expedition in i mänsklighetens sönderrivna jag, Guds outgrundliga natur och Jesu helande kraft. Han visar att omvändelsen till Gud, uppenbarad i Kristus, handlar om förvandling av sinnet och själen från ett sinne av rädsla till ett sinne av tilllit, och från pusilla anima (en liten själ) till magna anima (en stor själ) och att teologin själv stödjer denna omvandling. Men han visar också att denna förändring inte bara leder till ett nytt sätt att tro eller tänka utan till ett nytt sätt att vara. Med insikter från den teologiska traditionens stora tänkare tillsammans med verk av litterära mästare som Dante och Faulkner visar den här boken på ett unikt och oförglömligt sätt vad det innebär att låta Kristus öppna våra ögon så att vi kan se ljuset. Robert Barron är en amerikansk präst i den katolska kyrkan och tjänstgör som biskop i stiftet Winona-Rochester sedan 2022. Han är grundare av den katolska evangelisationsorganisationen Word on Fire och har skrivit ett flertal böcker om teologi och spiritualitet.

A Flaw in the Blood
The acclaimed author of the bestselling Jane Austen mysteries brings rich historical immediacy to an enthralling new suspense novel centered around Queen Victoria's troubled court...and a secret so dangerous, it could topple thrones. Windsor Castle, 1861. Prince Albert, the Queen's Consort, lies dying, and Victoria summons Patrick Fitzgerald, the clever, embittered Irish barrister who helped defend Her Majesty from a would-be assassin twenty years earlier. Within hours, Fitzgerald's beautiful ward is nearly murdered, his chambers are ransacked, and another girl lies dead. Could an unknown force at Windsor want Fitzgerald silenced? And why? The answers are entangled in an electrifying tale of intrigue, seduction, and betrayal, partially narrated by Europe's most powerful monarch. As fascinating as the Queen herself, seamlessly blending history and suspense, A Flaw in the Blood is an elegant thriller that is utterly convincing--and utterly surprising--to its very end.

Jane and the Twelve Days of Christmas
Jane Austen turns sleuth in this delightful murder mystery set over the twelve days of a Regency-Era Christmas party. Christmas Eve, 1814: Jane Austen has been invited to spend the holiday with family and friends at The Vyne, the gorgeous ancestral home of the wealthy and politically prominent Chute family. As the year fades and friends begin to gather beneath the mistletoe for the twelve days of Christmas festivities, Jane and her circle are in a celebratory mood: Mansfield Park is selling nicely; Napoleon has been banished to Elba; British forces have seized Washington, DC; and on Christmas Eve, John Quincy Adams signs the Treaty of Ghent, which will end a war nobody in England really wanted. Jane, however, discovers holiday cheer is fleeting. One of the Yuletide revelers dies in a tragic accident, which Jane immediately views with suspicion. If the accident was in fact murder, the killer is one of Jane's fellow snow-bound guests. With clues scattered amidst cleverly crafted
