“God is love is the radical claim of Christianity,” writes Frederick Bauerschmidt at the beginning of this little meditation on the essentials of Christian faith. In a rich yet accessible style reminiscent of C. S. Lewis and G. K.

Then, the Slash 8’s owner was bushwacked, and with its back to the wall, Green’s fighting crew made its declaration: Stay off the Slash 8 range - or stay on it - permanent!

Swift, deadly, and merciless were the raiders who hit the Kansas ranch, and when they rode out, they left behind two men dead and a woman who wouldn’t make it through the night. With a stolen Army payroll in their saddlebags, they ran for the border, and although they covered their back-trail well, someone was on it. He was a man with a gun, determined to hunt every one of them down. His name was Angel, and the name of his game was sudden death.

In May 1373, the English mystic Julian of Norwich was healed of a serious illness after experiencing a series of visions of the Blessed Virgin and of Christ's suffering.
