Nkar: The Village of Myths and Legends

by Fr. Eugen Nkardzedze

Fr Eugen Nkardzedze has provided a vindicating account of the juiciest myths and legends of Nkar that does justice to history, culture, religion, and the general anthropology of the people of Nkar. Very few people would tell those stories with the reliable authority and authenticity of this talented son of the soil, who has done it with all the strength of his humour and literary prowess. He has opened the door to more works of this kind to follow.

True Love: 12 Christmas Stories, My True Love Gave to Me

True Love: 12 Christmas Stories, My True Love Gave to Me

True Love: 12 Christmas Stories, My True Love Gave to Me

by Ben Bongers

Let’s face it, life is messy and so are emotions. But, as Hellen Keller said, “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart.” This book was written with love, for someone the author loves, and who loves him in return. The twelve stories contain every emotion that we feel daily, but we’re too afraid to let out. They are offered in the hope that readers will give themselves permission to really feel. To laugh, to hope, and yes… to cry. What better time of life than the Holidays to open that little door to our hearts that we slam shut and lock most of the time.

Figures in Orbits of Symphony: Stories and Ideas by Angelyn Spignesi Kopylec Arden

Figures in Orbits of Symphony: Stories and Ideas by Angelyn Spignesi Kopylec Arden

Figures in Orbits of Symphony: Stories and Ideas

by Angelyn Spignesi Kopylec Arden

Psychological figures, which provide a way not only to self-knowledge, but also healing and growth to one’s true vocation knowing oneself and others, are not spirit or matter but communicate spirit through matter and live in matter symbolizing its connection to spirit. This book engages through exposition, narrative, and poetry the “space” from where these figures come, which Dr. Arden calls metaxy, following Plato and Simone Weil, yet including embodiment in the world.
