Once upon a time, a boy named Jacob lived in a world of knights and dragons-when he wasn't going to first grade, learning manners and waltzes, and eating steak tartare. While his parents' careers keep them occupied, he befriends the large and rambunctious family next door and explores his new home-the mansion of a 19th century railroad baron. He discovers a man living in the walls in his basement. Anthony says he is a monk living in the medieval anchorite tradition, sealed in a cell for life to pray.Mama does not like his friendship with the kids next door. And she doesn't believe there's a saint in the cellar. But then, she doesn't believe in dragons or Methred, either. What if she's wrong?.?

On December 29 of 2013, Chris Powell lost his wife of 24 years to a devastating illness, leaving him a widower with a 13-year-old daughter. In some of their last conversations, Bonnie encouraged him to step back into life, to find new love and happiness for himself and their daughter. On Wings of Love and Light tells the story of love lost to death, love found—lost—and found again. It is a story of miracles and faith, told in poetry and essays, as the authors discuss what the heart of love really is. It is a story of stepping back into new life, new love, new creativity, and nine stepchildren!

Warning: This is Not a Cookbook! Food and Feast does, however, contain over a hundred recipes--medieval recipes in their original medieval form, medieval recipes in modern terms, traditional Scottish recipes, modern midwest American, recipes for eating in the wilderness, and even exotic and slightly dangerous recipes, drawn from scenes in the acclaimed Blue Bells Chronicles. In an eclectic mix, Food and Feast also digs into tasty morsels of history, succulent songs, meaty medieval philosophy, and medieval and Scottish poems, about food and drink. Here be fire-breathing roasts and live bird pies alongside oatcakes cooked on the campaign trail.
