When alcoholic ex-boxer Danny Boy Lorca witnesses a man tortured to death in the desert, Hackberry’s investigation leads him to Anton Ling, a mysterious Chinese woman known for sheltering illegals.

Fr. Alexander Schmemann continues to influence liturgical and sacramental theologies some thirty-five years after his death. Despite the wide acceptance within Protestant circles of his timeless classic, For the Life of the World, there has been relatively little written about him from an ecumenical context. This volume of collected essays seeks to explore his theological legacy and further his work. With essays from leading scholars such as David Fagerberg, Bruce Morrill, Joyce Zimmerman, and more, this volume is meant for both teachers and students of liturgical and sacramental theology. In an effort to introduce Schmemann to a wider audience and to celebrate his work through meaningful engagement and dialogue, contributors come from a wide variety of ecclesiastical backgrounds: Anglican, Roman Catholic, Orthodox, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Methodist, Free Church, and more. “The Eucharist is therefore the manifestation of the Church as the new aeon; it is participation in the Kingdom as the parousia, as the presence of the Resurrected and Resurrecting Lord. It is not the ‘repetition’ of His advent or coming into the world, but the lifting up of the Church into His parousia, the Church’s participation in His heavenly glory.” Fr. Alexander Schmemann, Introduction to Liturgical Theology, p. 72.

No one would have ever dreamed how by means of an innocent young man's discovery of his secret place at the tender age of twelve it could have affected Trophemus, his family, and his entire impregnable and sheltered country providentially for the rest of his two lives he would be forced to live. Trophemus was appraised by everyone in the entire nation of Tatonka to be a righteous, good, honest adolescent of the highest moral reputation. He was of unfailing morality but truly as tough as flint, a virtuous young man being of pristine character, well-respected, beyond repute, being required to live in an imperfect world! His father trained him from the beginning as a small boy to always listen to his God-given intuition within his heart for the good of all. Trophemus knew that his intuition would never tell him to do evil, and as long as he was directed to do good, he should listen. And listen he would! Trophemus did have much difficulty making sense of and discerning God's requirement to keep his secret place hidden from all. But time does have a way to envelop all our misunderstanding concerning God's direction in every decision we make. Mystery always surrounds us as we live a righteous, high-integrity human life. He knew well integrity is living the highest moral standard in our daily human life, whether anyone sees us or not, even when we are all alone. This kind of righteous daily living brings peace into one's heart. Peace has a source, and Trophemus was a man on earth full of peace and goodwill to all those in Tatonka who live righteous lives. But not all will live righteous lives as Trophemus gradually learns Schrum is a young man who personifies and emanates evil. Thus his two lives providentially whirl around this antagonistic creature on earth named Schrum. As the race begins in the first chapter by which a fourteen-year-old boy becomes a man, Trophemus has the highest expectations, and all is peaceful in the safe and secure country of Tatonka. Will this man-boy's becoming a man fulfill what destiny has been immaculately arranged upon him? Trophemus!

The breath of Godthe Word of God, that iswas made flesh and was conceived in Marys womb. Christians call her the mother of God. She gave birth to the one we know as Jesus, the one we regard as the Son of God! This Son of God, Jesus, is the second person in the Trinity. As you read this, this Jesus sits on the right throne next to Gods own throne. These are well-grounded Christian beliefs. They are irrefutable truths. It is on these truths that the doctrines of the Christian faith are anchored. That brings me to the reason I wrote this book: The fact that the woman who carried Jesus in her womb for nine months and shared the breaths of life with him throughout her pregnancy could have been divinely consecrated just because she had him in her womb. I believe that she, Mary, at the time she was living with the hands and the mind of God in her, could easily have commanded Mount Tabor and Kilimanjaro to switch places by simply saying so. It is that belief that opened up the floodgate of story possibilities regarding the supernatural wherewith she could have been endowed during the months she was pregnant with Jesus. What you will see in these pages is compelled by aspects of fiction and nonfiction. Parts of the New Testament drive this talewell, with the exception of Marys visitations to certain parts of heaven. I truly believe that they could have taken her up to heaven every now and then, because she was walking around with the second person in the Trinity in her womb. Think about it!
