The Pope at War: The Secret History of Pius XII, Mussolini, and Hitler
Filled with discoveries, this is the dramatic story of Pope Pius XII’s struggle to respond to the Second World War, the Holocaust, and the Nazi domination of Europe.The Pope at War is the third in a trilogy of books about the papacy’s response to the rise of Fascism and Nazism. It tells the dramatic story of Pope Pius XII’s struggle to respond to the Second World War, the Holocaust, and the ongoing Nazi attempts to exterminate the Jews of Europe. It is the first book dealing with the war to make extensive use of the newly opened Vatican archives for the war years. It is based, as well, on thousands of documents from the Italian, German, French, British, and American archives. Among the many new discoveries brought to light is the discovery that within weeks of becoming pope in 1939, Pius XII entered into secret negotiations with Hitler through Hitler’s emissary, a Nazi Prince who was married to the daughter of the King of Italy and who was very close to Hitler. The negotiations were kept so secret that not even the German ambassador to the Holy See was informed of them. The book also offers new insight into the thinking behind Pius XII’s decision to maintain good relations with the German government during the war, including keeping the Germans happy while they occupied Rome in 1943-1944. And throughout, David I. Kertzer shows the active role of the Italian Church hierarchy in promoting the Axis war while the pope, who as bishop of Rome was responsible for the Italian hierarchy, offered his silent blessings and cast his public speeches in such a way that both sides could claim support for their cause.

The Great War meets the horrors of forgotten folklore in this occult skirmish wargame.
1916: A World Transformed. As the Great War raged, the Moon fell from its orbit. Seas shifted, uncovering new lands and revealing what tide and time had concealed.

Players command small forces of infantry, cavalry, artillery, and other. stranger. troops on the Doggerland Front. Fast-paced gameplay and a tense initiative bidding system are combined with authentic folk traditions and occult philosophies of the era – it is a game of rifle and relic, of bayonet and belief, of machine gun and magic.

Excerpt from Sea Witch: A Grimoire of Ocean Magick-
“The Ocean, with its vast, unknowable beauty is alluring and mysterious. Wide horizons beckon adventurers with the promise of freedom, whilst merely dipping your toes into the foamy, shallow shore is deeply restorative. The steady ebb and flow of the waves keeps the rhythm of a heartbeat; comforting in its assurance that you are not alone. The sea has captivated mankind since antiquity, and it’s no wonder we are drawn to this marvelous beauty, a liminal space where earth meets water. To merely behold the ocean is to be awestruck by its magnitude as it is a tangible representation of the universe as a living, energetic thing. We are able to receive a rich, sensory encounter when we spend time by the water; the ocean shifts continuously, waves break upon the sand, as the tides move in and out. We see the effect of the wind on the water, causing ripples and tumultuous waves. Inhaling deeply provides an olfactory experience like no other as salt and sea mingle to create a distinctive, marine aroma. Burying our feet in the sand can help us feel rooted in the earthly element of the beach, whilst the white noise of crashing waves is soothing to the psyche.”Read more

The Signs of the Hour: A Compendium of Authentic Hadiths
Eschatology is a topic that continuously grabs the attention of many Muslims due to significance in Islamic theology. Its stories and prophecies embody many supernatural elements that are bound to be witnessed by many, and this further amplifies the fascination of many with this genre of scripture in the Islamic tradition.
A major category of Islamic eschatology revolves around the signs of the Hour: the signs and events that manifest prior to the Day of Judgement, indicating its dire imminence. These signs, which were foretold the Prophet, serve as reminders to the Muslim community so that they may prepare themselves and be attentive to the Hour and Day of Judgement.
Despite this topic’s grave importance, many weak and unreliable traditions are carelessly circulated in many Muslim circles today. What makes the matter even more challenging is the fact that some public Muslim figures continue to disseminate such weak traditions, further facilitating the spread of inauthentic narratives. This book serves as an attempt to prove the Muslim community with an accessible and comprehensive collection of authentic hadiths on the signs of the Hour, and perhaps it can be the stepping stone for a more mature discourse on Islamic eschatology.

The Complete Idiot’s Guide® to Understanding Islam
Islam may be the most misunderstood faith in history. Most of us learn little or nothing about Islam in school; in fact, our knowledge of Muslims may be restricted to news reports on the Middle East and Louis Farrakhan. Surprise–the vast majority of Muslims aren’t Arabs, the Muslim Allah is very much the “one God” Christians and Jews believe in, many of the scientific and medical innovations we take for granted were passed on by Muslims, and the popular myths about Muslims often have little to do with the real beliefs of Islam. The Complete Idiot’s Guide® to Understanding Islam reveals fascinating facts about Islam; they accept both the Old and New Testaments as holy books and accept Moses and Jesus as prophets. The book offers tips on Muslim culture, actual quotes from the Qur’an, the Prophet Muhammad, and prominent scholars, and answers to questions regarding everyday life from the Muslim perspective.

The Tao of Islam: A Sourcebook on Gender Relationships in Islamic Thought
“This is a genuine foundational work in Islamic studies. It is an open door into the very heart of Islamic civilization, while at the same time it suggests the bases of important comparisons and insights for those interested in cognate areas in Western cultures.“It is a fascinating, truly original work in both its guiding perspectives and its comprehensive, clearly presented account of a central dimension of Islam. There is nothing like it, and it deserves a wide audience.” — James W. Morris, Oberlin College
“It clearly, competently, and comprehensively describes the worldview implicit in the medieval Islamic “wisdom” tradition represented by Sufism and Shi’i philosophy, particularly the way that gender concepts are implicit in their cosmology and psychology, and can be related to the Taoist concepts of yin and yang. The author’s critique of feminism and modern reformism on this basis is penetrating.” — Valerie Hoffman-Ladd, University of Illinois
The Tao of Islam is a rich and diverse anthology of Islamic teachings on the nature of the relationships between God and the world, the world and the human being, and the human being and God. Focusing on gender symbolism, Sachiko Murata shows that Muslim authors frequently analyze the divine reality and its connections with the cosmic and human domains with a view toward a complementarity or polarity of principles that is analogous to the Chinese idea of yin/yang.
Murata believes that the unity of Islamic thought is found, not so much in the ideas discussed, as in the types of relationships that are set up among realities. She pays particular attention to the views of various figures commonly known as “Sufis” and “philosophers,” since they approach these topics with a flexibility and subtlety not found in other schools of thought. She translates several hundred pages, most for the first time, from more than thirty important Muslims including the Ikhwan al-Safa’, Avicenna, and Ibn al-‘Arabi.

The Path to Jannah: Guidance from the Quran and the Prophet’s Biography on the Principles, Actions, and Mindset that Lead to Paradise in the Hereafter (islamic books)
The Path to Jannah
Throughout history, people from different walks of life have attempted to portray the unique attributes of Paradise in paintings, films, and literature—yet all that we have seen (or imagined) in this worldly life is nothing compared to what Paradise actually is. As conveyed to us by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), the last and final prophet of the heavenly revealed religions, it is a place that “no eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard of, and nobody has ever thought of.”
Despite the mystery surrounding this topic, the Glorious Quran reveals numerous details about the final abode of the believers (called “Jannah” in Arabic), providing rich descriptions of its magnificent bounties and clear guidelines for passing the tests of this life that will grant one entrance to Allah’s Eternal Gardens.
Written in accessible language for those wishing to know more about the Islamic concept of Paradise, “The Path to Jannah” is a book that takes readers on an insightful journey into some key Quranic verses and authentic sayings of the Prophet (PBUH) that we should all be aware of in order to understand and fulfill our true purpose in life, which is something that can only be achieved by taking the path of goodness that Allah SWT promises will lead to success in the Hereafter.
“The Path to Jannah” is an uplifting and beneficial read for anyone who wishes to cultivate the key traits associated with the inhabitants of Paradise, with practical tips and advice to help all those striving to attain the ultimate reward.
Some of the questions answered in this book include:
- Who are the people who pass the tests of this worldly life and end up in Paradise?
- Will they remember anything about the worldly life of this dunya?
- Will they be reunited with their loved ones?
- How do the angels assist the believers in the Hereafter?
- What does Islam say about the experience of death?
- Is Paradise the same for all people—or are some more privileged than others?
- Will it be possible to see the Creator in the Hereafter?
- Is faith alone sufficient to grant someone entry to Paradise?
Suitable for teens and adults alike, “The Path to Jannah” provides a complete roadmap to help sincere seekers of the truth reach the final destination of Paradise.

A Brief History of Witchcraft and the Occult: A Beginner’s Journey from the Surreal to the Scientific, From Crystals and Tarot to Science and Philosophy
Journey back with this brief and introductory history to the real origin of witchcraft and the occult—and find out why they’ve been feared and misunderstood for thousands of years.
From ancient Egyptian healers and Celtic druids to the Salem witch trial victims and modern-day Wiccans, witches have always been misunderstood. Because of that, they’ve been feared, persecuted, and blamed for everything from failing crops and miscarriages to wars and famines.
But what’s the true story behind caricatures like the Sanderson Sisters and the Wicked Witch of the West? When and where did witchcraft begin, and how has it evolved over time? Which practices and traditions have survived from the ancient world? And why do people really fear witches?
To find the answers, we have to journey back almost to the beginning of history, to a time when magic and those who practiced it were respected members of society. Over time, that would change. By tracing that evolution, we can learn more not only about witchcraft and the occult, but about why our society is both intrigued by and afraid of it.
In this fascinating book, you’ll learn about the various ways magic has been used in both the ancient and modern world, including:
- How ancient Egyptians used magic for healing and protection…but also vengeance
- Why magicians in ancient Mesopotamia held the keys to civilization
- How a secret occult society led to the Western fascination with mystical, forbidden knowledge
- The real story behind the Salem witch trials and the European witch hunts
- How 19th-century women used seances and ouija boards to advocate for their rights
- The pagan practices that led to the modern-day Wicca movement
- Why crystals and tarot cards have remained popular for thousands of years
- Why witches are still feared and misunderstood today
And much more!
Whether you’re a history buff, modern-day magic practitioner, or just curious about the history of witchcraft, this book will give you a clearer picture of how magic has been practiced, understood, and misunderstood from ancient to modern times.
Fun and easy to read, it’s a great introduction to the role witchcraft has played in cultures around the world, the real historical figures who helped shape present-day perspectives on witches, and the circumstances that have led to witches and the occult being shunned.
Reading this book will help you:
- Understand the role witchcraft played in ancient civilizations
- Learn which elements of witchcraft and the occult are still around today
- Dispel dangerous myths about witches and the occult
- Improve your knowledge and take your study deeper

Notes on Complexity: A Scientific Theory of Connection, Consciousness, and Being
An electrifying introduction to complexity theory, the science of how complex systems behave, that explains the interconnectedness of all things and that Deepak Chopra says, “will change the way you understand yourself and the universe.”
Nothing in the universe is more complex than life. Throughout the skies, in oceans, and across lands, life is endlessly on the move. In its myriad forms—from cells to human beings, social structures, and ecosystems—life is open-ended, evolving, unpredictable, yet adaptive and self-sustaining. Complexity theory addresses the mysteries that animate science, philosophy, and metaphysics: how this teeming array of existence, from the infinitesimal to the infinite, is in fact a seamless living whole and what our place, as conscious beings, is within it. Physician, scientist, and philosopher Neil Theise makes accessible this “theory of being,” one of the pillars of modern science, and its holistic view of human existence. He notes the surprising underlying connections within a universe that is itself one vast complex system—between ant colonies and the growth of forests, cancer and economic bubbles, murmurations of starlings and crowds walking down the street.
The implications of complexity theory are profound, providing insight into everything from the permeable boundaries of our bodies to the nature of consciousness. Notes on Complexity is an invitation to trade our limited, individualistic view for the expansive perspective of a universe that is dynamic, cohesive, and alive—a whole greater than the sum of its parts. Theise takes us to the exhilarating frontiers of human knowledge and in the process restores wonder and meaning to our experience of the everyday.

Another Fifty Catholic Churches to See Before You Die
Hard on the heels of Elena Curti’s popular first volume exploring the architectural wonders of the Catholic Church comes a second selection that is every bit as exciting. This time thirteen cathedrals are among the fifty churches highlighted in this beautifully-illustrated guide. Each entry includes other fascinating buildings in the area that are ‘worth a detour’. The variety and ingenuity of this precious heritage cannot fail to impress: from the Byzantine splendour of Westminster Cathedral to the daring modernism of the mother church of the Archdiocese of Liverpool. There are humble places where martyrs celebrated Mass in penal times and classical churches served by the first priests trained in England after the Reformation. In the wilds of North Yorkshire a modern grand design gives glory to God. Every entry a testament to the fervour and courage of old Catholic families, Victorian converts, poor Irish migrants, and priests who drove ambitious building projects against the odds.Read more

The Surprising Genius of Jesus: What the Gospels Reveal about the Greatest Teacher
How the Story of the Prodigal Son Illuminates Jesus’s Genius
When someone thinks of Jesus, “genius” is not likely the first word that comes to mind. But when studied in detail, Jesus’s teachings and interactions with others combined high levels of knowledge and insight, verbal skill, and simplicity―showing his genius.
In The Surprising Genius of Jesus, Peter J. Williams examines the story of the prodigal son in Luke 15 to show the genius, creativity, and wisdom of Jesus’s teachings. He used simple but powerful stories to confront the Pharisees and scribes of the day, drawing on his knowledge of the Jewish Scriptures to teach his audience through complex layers and themes. Williams challenges those who question whether Jesus really was the source of the parables recorded in the Gospels, pointing readers to the truth of who Jesus is and why that matters for them today.
- Clear and Insightful: Accessible for general readers with in-depth footnotes for those wanting to learn more
- Biblical: Comprehensive, interscriptural analysis of the story of the prodigal son
- Written by Peter J. Williams: Author of Can We Trust the Gospels? and principal of Tyndale House, Cambridge
