The Rekindle Inn is the last place J.T. Walker wants to spend his Christmas vacation, much less in the company with the woman who’d recently ripped his heart to shreds. A challenge of wills, and the need to show Mary he no longer cares, has him on the plane to Santaville faster than the time it takes to unwrap a candy cane. The Rekindle Inn specializes in mending relationships, but when the Walkers check in, it will take more than a little Christmas magic to bring these two broken hearts back together. More like a Christmas miracle.
Download or read book Rekindled written by Mallory Smyth and published by . This book was released on 2020-11-06 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mallory Smyth has been where many young Catholics are today. But the difference between her and other fallen-away Catholics is that she figured out that when she overlooked the shortcomings of the Church as an institution, she fell in love with Jesus and rediscovered the beauty and truth of her faith. In Rekindled, Smyth's raw, relatable account of her own disillusionment and departure is sure to resonate with anyone who has struggled to feel at home in the Church. For anyone who has left the faith or has one foot out the door, this powerful book just might illuminate a path back home--to a Church that is both holy and in need of perfection. Shallow homilies. Hypocritical authority figures. Trite answers to pressing questions. These and other shortcomings of the Church have led plenty of Catholics to question their faith--or to abandon it entirely. Rekindled is for those who have left the Church and those with one foot out the door. Smyth's account of her own disillusionment and departure is relatable and honest. She understands and validates the pain and doubt that many Catholics and former Catholics feel. Smyth also provides you with practical guidance for keeping your faith even when what you encounter in the Church falls short: How to recognize Christ's presence even in the most mediocre Mass experiences. Strategies for finding faithful role models when authority figures let you down. Where to turn when the answers and pastoral guidance you receive don't reach the heart of the issue. How to find fulfillment in Christ and in the community of the saints even when joy seems to be in short supply in the Church.

Book excerpt: Rekindle Me is a novel set far in the future, in a world where holovisions, augreals, artificial intelligence, self-driven cars, interplanetary travel and interstellar communication, and other notable technological developments are all part of a normal day. The protagonist, Tommy Russell, experiences a near-constant state of anxiety as his devoutly Christian beliefs are challenged by a society with declining morals, excess materialism, and an unchecked reliance on technology that, in Tommys eyes, belies a complete lack of the ability for mankind to love. While Tommy struggles to find the answer to a key question from his inquisitive young daughter, an ambitious and secretive government program called The Mantle Project is announced, aiming to flip the planets mantle upside down to harvest essential resources like oil and minerals. Despite the risk of failure of the project, the antagonist, Dr. Jonathan Bailey, still forges ahead with the execution of the project. With only a month to its full implementation, massive earthquakes begin to fracture the planet, killing billions and nearly cleaving it into two pieces precariously close to breaking completely apart. With the Earths mantle shattering, gravity growing weaker, and millions evacuating to Yahire, an angel planet in the solar system, Tommy realizes he is in a race against time to save humanity and to fulfill his promise to God. Tommy decides to look for a hermit who can provide him with answers to some vital questions and, most importantly, intercede with God on behalf of humanity, and he is helped along the way by a repentant and remorseful Dr. Jonathan Bailey, who is equally making a last-ditch effort to save the planet. Will Tommy find the hermit, and can he save planet Earth from imminent destruction? Please read on!
Download or read book Unfolding the Mystery written by Hugh Gilbert and published by Gracewing Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Liturgy is the summit and source of the Church's life, said the Second Vatican Council, and the liturgy unfolds its riches within an annual pattern: the Church's year. Here our life, lived in time, can meet and mingle with the life of Christ communicated in time. In Benedictine monasteries, the liturgical year shapes the whole life of the community. In these community conferences and homilies a Benedictine abbot shares with fellow-monks and fellow-Christians something of the wealth of the mystery of Christ as the liturgy unfolds it. It is of immense satisfaction to those who have long appreciated Abbot Hugh's work that he has so generously agreed to share his insights with a wider public. 'In the course of the year, ' says Vatican II, 'she - holy mother Church - unfolds the whole mystery of Christ from the incarnation and nativity to the ascension, to Pentecost and the expectation of the blessed hope of the coming of the Lord'(Sacrosanctum Concilium 102). 'Thanks to the Holy Spirit, ' writes Abbot Hugh, 'the paschal mystery remains a present, operative reality in human history, a spring of living water, flowing out of the "paradise" of the liturgy and watering the desert of the human heart and human life. It is this which gives our liturgies, so often humanly poor (what else could they be?), their divine value.. It is this unfolding of the mystery of Christ that the following conferences and homilies hope to serve in some small way. Dom Hugh Gilbert, OSB, is Abbot of Pluscarden Abbey. The living stones are the monks. Together they form a house in which the Spirit dwells. If in this place, as the Abbey's motto proclaims, God gives peace, it is through their constant prayer, their glorious liturgy and their ennobling work. The role of the Abbot is crucial to this spiritual building, and in these beautiful conferences and instructions which Abbot Hugh has been persuaded to publish, we see the work of the master builder. ARCHBISHOP MARIO CONTI
