Whether one thinks that -religion- continues to fade or has made a comeback in the contemporary world, there is a common notion that -religion- went away somewhere, at least in the West. But William Cavanaugh argues that religious fervor never left -- it has only migrated toward a new object of worship. In Migrations of the Holy he examines the disconcerting modern transfer of sacred devotion from the church to the nation-state. In these chapters Cavanaugh cautions readers to be wary of a rigid separation of religion and politics that boxes in the church and sends citizens instead to the state for hope, comfort, and salvation as they navigate the risks and pains of mortal life. When nationality becomes the primary source of identity and belonging, he warns, the state becomes the god and idol of its own religion, the language of nationalism becomes a liturgy, and devotees willingly sacrifice their lives to serve and defend their country. Cavanaugh urges Christians to resist this form of idolatry, to unthink the inevitability of the nation-state and its dreary party politics, to embrace radical forms of political pluralism that privilege local communities -- and to cling to an incarnational theology that weaves itself seamlessly and tangibly into all aspects of daily life and culture. Read more about the book in a blog post by Cavanaugh on EerdWord.

Harry Josfold is the product of a loving, caring and Christian family. His parents believe in being hands on parents. They are fully involved, checking he has done his homework, examining his school report and take a pride in his acting skills. Harry was not the sport loving boy his father wanted, but Mr Josfold was nevertheless, proud of a son who took prizes at school and the lead part in school plays. Harry's Hamlet received high praise in the local press. At Drama School his professor regards Harry as outstanding, the best student in ten years, bound for a successful career. The trouble is Harry prefers to be called Holly. Luckily he finds friends and one very special girl.
The only 'sister' in the Brotherhood of Souls, Holly leads the life of a charming chameleon in the Big Apple. The only people who really know her are her family and she's an expert at keeping it that way. She sees nothing to gain in sharing the ugly truth about her past. She unexpectedly meets a saint-like man who deserves the best and Holly takes on the personality of her colorful globe-trotting cousin to impress him. She knows a guy like Lance Fountain could only be a temporary fling for a girl like her and she's sure her false identity will appeal to his generous nature. It doesn't occur to her that he lives a lie of his own that makes her fairy tale suit his needs perfectly. When Holly finds out Lance's secret, she realizes why he has tolerated the on again, off again relationship her fake 'life' demands. Because she is also guilty of deception, she can hardly call foul. Still convinced that the 'real' Holly can never hope to be good enough for the man she keeps trying not to love, fate steps in, forces her hand and teaches her a once in a lifetime lesson. This is a stand-alone, full length romance novel and the Brotherhood novels can be read in any order. An introduction to the Brotherhood of Souls Series world is found in the first book, Brothers. Darren, Grayson, Wyatt and Noah are also available now. Harlan follows soon. These are contemporary adult romances with five-chili hot steamy scenes full of passion.
