This is Dornford Yates’ only ‘straight’ detective novel – it is an uncommon murder story set in a convent, and reveals Yates’ supreme talent for tension, strong characters and a page-turning plot. For traditional tale-telling at its finest, look no further.

Neighbors and Neer-Do-Wells takes you back to the days of Jesus, to a time of faith in the midst of uncertainty, of unconditional love in the face of bigotry. Join the audience as Jesus tells the parables of the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son for the first time. Youll discover that then, as now, people of faith wrestle with what it means to put love into practice. Neighbors and Neer-Do-Wells addresses such contemporary questions as: Why are parables interpreted in so many ways? How inclusive should I be in my dealings with others? How far should I go in helping a neighbor? How can religion get in the way of Gods compassion? How can I confront my own self-righteousness? What does my personal relationship with Christ have to do with anyone else? Is it possible to drift beyond Gods love? What advice is there for a parent whose adult child has strayed from the Christian faith? Neighbors and Neer-Do-Wells includes discussion questions with each chapter, making it ideal for individual and group studies.

A new selection of Vincent Van Gough's letters, based on an entirely new translation, revealing his religious struggles, his fascination with the French Revolution, his search for love and his involvement in humanitarian causes.

Is there any moral obligation to improve oneself? Robert N. Johnson argues that there is, and develops a broadly Kantian point of view to defend his position and challenge a range of opposing arguments. Not only are each of us morally required to make something of our lives, but we owe this to ourselves, rather than to our family or community.
