Toss (Kay) is a sweet girl on the verge of adolescence, who lives on a sheep farm with her father in the rolling hills of New Zealand. When her father dies in a tragic accident, Toss' mother Elizabeth (Penelope Stewart) puts the farm up for sale. But her grandfather (Bill Kerr) wants to keep the farm in business and enlists the hunter Ethan (Frank Whitten) to help get the farm back into functioning shape. At first Ethan and Elizabeth react to each other's presence with restrained hostility, but their nearness to each other eventually erupts into a passionate love affair. Through all of this, Toss tries to deal with the up-front passions of the two adults as she also adjusts to her coming womanhood.

The author of Maps for Lost Lovers gives us a new novel-at once lyrical and blistering-about war in our time, told through the lives of five people who come together in post-9/11 Afghanistan. Marcus, an English doctor whose progressive, outspoken Afghani wife was murdered by the Taliban, opens his home-itself an eerily beautiful monument to his losses-to the others: Lara, from St. Petersburg, looking for evidence of her soldier brother who disappeared decades before during the Soviet invasion; David, an American, a former spy who has seen his ideals turned inside out during his twenty-five years in Afghanistan; Casa, a young Afghani whose hatred of the West plunges him into the depths of zealotry; and James, the Special Forces soldier in whom David sees a dangerous revival of the unquestioning notions of right and wrong that he himself once held. In mesmerizing prose, Nadeem Aslam reveals the complex ties-of love and desperation, pain and salvation, madness and clarity-that bind the characters. And through their stories he creates a timely and achingly intimate portrait of the -continuation of wars- that shapes our world. In its radiant language, its depth of feeling, and its unflinching drama, The Wasted Vigil is a luminous work of fiction.

In the caves beneath an Italian lake, the fossil of a creature older than the earth has been disinterred.

In the Judaean desert, a legendary parchment has been discovered.

One reveals the secrets of Heaven.
One foretells an impending Hell.

And deciphering their message has been left to paleontologist Carter Cox--a man of science whose faith in the empirical is about to be shaken by forces of evil beyond imagining.

Our 1/2" x 10" taper candles are ideal for church services, candlelight vigils, ceremonies, or at any event where candles will be hand-held. Included are paper bobeches (drip protectors) to catch drips and keep molten wax off of hands. Each box includes 50 taper candles and 50 paper bobeches (drip protectors). Burn time is approx. 2 hours when burned in ideal conditions; hand-held candles and candles burned outdoors will have a shorter burn time due to drips.

A man climbs down a dangerous ravine to rescue a stranded sheep as a young girl wrapped in heavy clothing and a hooded stocking cap looks on. She's the man's daughter, 12-year-old Toss (played with a mix of ease and intensity by Fiona Kay), and when she suddenly drops her eyes in shock and sadness we know he's fallen to his death. The setting of Vincent Ward's first film is an isolated sheep farm in the hills of New Zealand, a hard, primeval, almost timeless world surrounded by an omnipresent fog that envelops the farm like an island. A bearded stranger, a dark, terse character named Birdie (Bill Kerr), is hired to help out on the farm, much to the disdain of widowed Elizabeth (Penelope Stewart), devastated and worn emotionally raw by the hard life. She simply wants to sell the place and get away, but her conflict with Birdie brings them to an inevitable collision. Moody and portentous, it's a slow-moving film with little dramatic action but rich in vivid imagery and thick with mood. In many ways, it seems like a dry run for Ward's follow-up, The Navigator, an even more visually impressive film that mixes the medieval and the modern as seen through the eyes of a child. --Sean Axmaker

From one of the most original voices in contemporary spiritual literature comes this new book that weaves together the liturgical calendar, traditions from Christmas masses in medieval times, traditional themes of Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany, and stories from scripture and her own life. A delightful gift for those with whom you share the waiting and watching of the season of hope.

The Vigil, based on the Psalms, grants the listener an intimate and unusual look into Nevue's personal prayer life. The album chronicles the passage of a sleepless night, starting at about midnight and ending with the following dawn.
