Home Front
by Kristin Hannah

In this powerhouse of a novel, Kristin Hannah explores the intimate landscape of a troubled marriage with this provocative and timely portrait of a husband and wife, in love and at war.

At once a profoundly honest look at modern marriage and a dramatic exploration of the toll war takes on an ordinary American family, Home Front is a story of love, loss, heroism, honor, and ultimately, hope.

Four Steps to Spiritual Freedom
by Thomas Ryan

“The most important question in the spiritual life,” said Thomas Merton, “is not: ‘Are you happy?’ but ‘Are you free?'”

This book works in a fresh way with the four major themes of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, casting them as four steps to Spiritual Freedom: Know Who You Are, Live Your Calling to the Full, Let Go of Results, Daily Rededicate Your Life to God.

Describing spiritual freedom as the ability to think and act without external or internal compulsions, the author makes clear through a variety of intimate stories and illustrations from his own and others lives what each step looks like when it is lived in concrete terms. For anyone on a spiritual path in the midst of daily life and work, Four Steps offers carefully delineated guideposts along the way.
