From drunk on a plane to falling in love in paradise, Trent sang his way into Melodie's heart. But when the couple is accused of being the cause of her former fiancé's death, Trent leaves her to handle things on her own. Melodie Henries will never trust Trent Harrell not to bail when things get hard. A singer/songwriter down on his luck and a novelist, their romance should harmonize but past mistakes pluck a wrong note. When the two agree to do a battle-of-the-sexes renovation competition, more than their romance flames to life as they become the target of a stalker bent on revenge. Can they change the tune of an old song, or will their melody fall flat? Left broken and disillusioned by one reality show, why would Trent ever agree to do another? But given the chance to make things up to the girl he betrayed, Trent Harrell would do anything, even agree to star in a renovation reality show competition. Trent's leaving nearly destroyed her, but Melodie Henries refuses to let him do it again. She's doing the show to promote her books, not rekindle an old flame. When a stalker blames them for the death of Trent's former bandmate and Melodie's former fiancé, the couple must delve into the past for clues. Can they discover the threat in time?

The second Vatican Council was convened by Pope John XXIII between 1962 and 1965. It marked a fundamental shift toward the modern Church and its far-reaching innovations replaced or radically changed many of the practices, rules, and attitudes that had dominated Catholic life and culture since the Council of Trent in the sixteenth century. In this book a distinguished team of historians and theologians offers an impartial investigation of the relationship between Vatican II and Trent by examining such issues as Eucharistic theology, liturgical change, clerical reform, the laity, the role of women, marriage, confession, devotion to Mary, and interfaith understanding. As the first book to present such a comprehensive study of the connection between the two great Councils, this is an invaluable resource for students, theologians, and church historians, as well as for bishops, clergy, and religious educators.

With no love interest in sight, she battles with depression and is an emotional wreck. With Dana and Mont somewhat in the picture, it's hard for Lyric to let go of her past, but when a handsome grave digger catches her eye, she just may have a change of heart. Once Lyric gets a sweet taste of the promiscuous lifestyle that she was used to, she can't behave herself. As she slowly reverts to her old ways, she struggles to hang onto her celibacy and collects more shiny gold bangles in the process. While juggling a new job, new lovers, past lovers and thoughts of Melody, Lyric gets tripped up and nearly loses it all.

Exactly 450 years after the solemn closure of the Council of Trent on 4 December 1563, scholars from diverse regional, disciplinary and confessional backgrounds convened in Leuven to reflect upon the impact of this Council, not only in Europe but also beyond. Their conclusions are to be found in these three impressive volumes. Bridging different generations of scholarship, the authors reassess in a first volume Tridentine views on the Bible, theology and liturgy, as well as their reception by Protestants, deconstructing many myths surviving in scholarship and society alike. They also deal with the mechanisms 'Rome' developed to hold a grip on the Council's implementation. The second volume analyzes the changes in local ecclesiastical life, initiated by bishops, orders and congregations, and the political strife and confessionalisation accompanying this reform process. The third and final volume examines the afterlife of Trent in arts and music, as well as in the global impact of Trent through missions.
