Ken Woods started having nightmares about his childhood. When it started to affect his family and his career, he needed some answers. He must do something he thought he would never do. He must visit his father for the first time in 28 years, which sets into motion this gripping novel set in rural Colorado. When people around him started dying, all signs pointed to his father as the killer. This is a story about a 12 year-old boy who is forced to accept the suspicious actions of his father, and his attempt as an adult to re-live all the horrors of his childhood. One fateful hunting trip with his father in 1974 sets into motion mystery, suspense, and murder with twists and turns that no one could have imagined.

Based on his talks at New York’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Good Friday 2015, the New York Times bestselling author and editor at large of America magazine offers a portrait of Jesus, using his last words on the cross to reveal how deeply he understood our predicaments, what it means to be fully human, and why we can turn to Christ completely, in mind, heart, and soul.Each meditation is dedicated to one of the seven sayings:“Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”“Today you will be with me in Paradise.”“Woman, this is your son”  . . .  “This is your mother.”
“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”
“I thirst.”
“It is finished.”
“Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.”With the warmth, wisdom, and grace that infuse his works, Father James Martin explains why Jesus’s crucifixion and death on the cross is an important teaching moment in the Gospels. Jesus’s final statements, words that are deeply cherished by his followers, exemplify the depth of his suffering but also provide a key to his empathy and why we can connect with him so deeply.
