The Cross and the CrisisToday the world stands at a crossroad. Two paths stretch out toward the future. One leads to moral and religious ruin: the other to the salvation of civilization and culture. Down one, men will walk in the comradeship of anti-Christ, up the other in the brotherhood of Christ. There is no middle course. As Fulton Sheen puts it, the choice is between "an organic spiritual unity and an organic technical unity, or between a philosophy of life which says that man is a potential child of God and a philosophy of life which says there is no God but Caesar...."In these ten vigorous, thought-provoking discussions the choice is suggested with sane and convincing logic.I. SPIRITUAL BANKRUPTCY II. THE LAST BATTLE III. THE PRIMACY OF THE SPIRITUAL IV. MORE ABOUT THE SPIRITUAL V. THE BREAD OF THE FATHER'S HOME VI. THE AUTHORITY OF THE FATHER'S HOUSE VII. THE SENSE OF SINVIII. THE CHURCH AND THE STATE IX. SEEKING FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD X. OUR OPPORTUNITY AND OUR RESPONSIBILITY The problem of the salvation of civilization and culture is treated by an analogical treatment of the parable of the Prodigal Son. The parable is applied to a world that has withdrawn from Christ and squandered its inheritance of salvation and culture on the purely material. Salvation for the world, Fulton Sheen points out, will come only through its penitent return to its Father's house.Fulton J. Sheen needs no introduction to the reading public. Author of many significant books, lecturer, radio speaker, holder of a long list of academic degrees, intimately associated with both the University of Louvain and the Catholic University of America, he is indeed one of our most distinguished contemporary men of letters. In THE CROSS AND THE CRISIS, he makes yet another notable contribution to the enrichment of our intellectual life.

A tale of retribution long-delayed in small town Minnesota.

The year is 1942. America has, finally, entered the war on the side of beleaguered Britain, bringing to bear its manpower and resources. Winston Churchill has long fought for American involvement, and his dream has been fulfilled. But now comes something to imperil that dream, something with the potential to turn British public opinion against the friendly invaders. American crime, American justice would seem to be straightforward, but the jurisdictional boundaries are crossed, reversed, lost in the maze of murder. An American MP, a Scotland Yard detective and a British officer with close ties to the world of spies and military intelligence together try to unravel the threads, bring murderers to justice. Nothing is straightforward. Neither justice nor retribution. Neither innocence or guilt. The quest takes the three investigators all the way from the British Prime Minister and the American commander, General Eisenhower, to the lowest rungs of the British underworld.

An Australian man, Adam White, finds himself in London working for an unidentified international organisation, work that brings him into intimate contact with good and evil, with life and death itself.

Every family has a secret held close. This family has one, kept from the world for more than a century. Now it is time for that secret to be revealed, for the story to be told. It's a story which takes the reader from Australia in the 21st Century to London in the 19th - to the world of Queen Victoria, Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes. It's a story ranging over the lowest of society to the highest in the land, from genteel suburban respectability to crime and criminals of the worst kind. And the thread which connects everything is the secret, the astounding secret buried for so long by the family now determined to set it free.

Superintendent Jack Sargent is a Western Australian Police detective, and one of the good guys. But not everybody thinks so. Someone has him in their murderous sights, and seemingly will stop at nothing to achieve their end. Sargent is dragged into a life-and-death struggle against an adversary he can't identify, and who the WA Police can't catch. His disabled son, Daniel, is caught up in the mayhem. And so is Samuel Pepys, dead since 1703, but nonetheless a key player in the drama engulfing Sargent. The killer's motives are obscure, his identity is unknown, and the advance 'clues' he provides to Sargent before each killing serve only to taunt and frustrate. People are going to die. The only unknowns are who, and how many.

Perth, Western Australia, is the world's most isolated capital city. But even in sleepy Perth a serial killer is at work, striking seemingly at will and with impunity. Detective Superintendent Jack Sargent is gradually drawn further and further into the nightmare of successive murders. The killer's ultimate objective soon becomes shockingly clear. And it becomes clear that Sargent and the killer are linked by a 17thC English diarist, Samuel Pepys. The key to the unfolding mayhem is Pepys' diary entries more than three centuries earlier. Sargent can't extricate himself from the killer's inexorable progress, nor can he keep his disabled son from being dragged along with him. The killer is always one step ahead of Sargent and his team of WA Police, taunting Sargent, mocking the inability of the police to prevent further murders. The outcome seems inevitable. Sargent and his son are in the killer's sights.

Are Canadians so influenced by the United States that they lack a distinct identity? This question has preoccupied Canadians and Canadianists for years. Canada - An American Nation? is a compilation of Allan Smith's essays on the influence of American society on Canadian identity. Based on the notion that Canada can best be understood if viewed in relation to the United States, the book explores the ways in which American influences have challenged Canada's cultural independence and asks whether Canada has maintained its own identity.
