Images of travel and voyages abound in the writings of St. Francis de Sales who encouragingly and alluringly invites those seeking his guidance to travel the road that Jesus himself has so graciously and courageously opened up for us. This he has done by his life, death and resurrection, thereby giving us access to God. It is St. Francis de Sales s thought and ideas that are paraphrased and adapted here to present an enticing invitation to make this Lenten journey in his company and in that of Our Lord.

I think that in heaven my mission will be to draw souls by helping them go out of themselves to cling to God by a wholly simple and loving movement, and to keep them in this great silence within that will allow God to communicate himself to them and transform them into Himself. (Blessed Elizabeth, Letter 335).
How can we experience this inner silence, this sacred space within that awaits realization in the heart of each one of us?

This wise and widely-acclaimed book is written for those "who have advanced far enough in love to God to enter the Night of Faith and feel the need of explanation, guidance and reassurance." Drawing upon Scripture, classic spiritual authors-especially St. John of the Cross-and her own deep personal experience, author Barbara Dent examines the deep puifications we undergo as God cleanses us of sinful inclinations and tansforms us in love. Using poetry and prose, image and parable, she guides us through the sufferings, temptations, upheavals and workings of grace at the deepest levels of our being, as we journey through the darkness of faith to new life in Christ. "This book is concerned with what I learned experientially and fom reading the works of various fellow travellers, especially John of the Cross, during the two periods when the grain of wheat fell into the ground and died. Then my only friend was darkness-the darkness of faith that would not give up affirming what it believed-yet in that darkness wonders of grace happened." Barbara Dent, My Only Friend is Darkness Barbara Dent is a retired English teacher in New Zealand and the mother of three. A Secular Carmelite, she has published numerous aticles and books throughout the English-speaking world, and now spends much of the time in "prayer and study, writing, and giving spiritual and psychological guidance to those who turn to me for it."

What World Is This? And Other Stories Sometimes a person from that part of the state will guess who I am, which is embarrassing for both of us. It's been a long time since we were in the news, and no one lives at the cabin now, but from time to time sightseers visit there. Occasionally a believer will leave flowers, but sometimes there are crude, angry words painted on the deserted ruin. When I return I do so quietly, careful not to be seen, for I was the one who caused all the trouble.... "What World Is This?" by Gloria Whelan - 1st Place Winner Tuscany Prize for Catholic Fiction - Short Story Category National Book Award Winner So begins the selected short stories of What World Is This and Other Stories. Gloria Whelan's story bridges the gap between childhood and maturity by discerning make believe from real belief. "Lily on the Bus" by Natalia Sarkissian also seeks to connect Point A (doubt) to Point Z (belief), showing that faith is a journey one must make-but never alone. The third place winner, Mary Finnegan's "The Edge of All Things," asks what place forgiveness has in faith; along the way, her character dis¬covers how mercy is often the companion we least expect on the jour¬ney-and is usually behind the wheel the whole time. Providing an arena for faith somewhere between the mythical and historical, Cynthia Millen's "Children of Niobe" also intones the theme of forgiveness-while demonstrating mercy's power to transcend the his¬torical forces that would inveigh against the possibility of compassion. Among the honorable mentions, the believability of belief shines with the right sort of balance of light and shadow. In the eight stories gathered here, Tuscany Press has created a compelling collection. What World Is This? ~ Lily on the Bus ~ The Edge of All Things Children of Niobe ~ The Hour of Our Death ~ Chimbote The Test ~ The Appraisal Rediscover the beauty of short stories-especially short stories that see the world with a Catholic perspective which embraces the temporal and the divine, the sinner and the saint, the ordinary and the extraordinary.
