Out
of the Deep I Cryby Julia Spencer-Fleming / Hardcover / April 2004) *
In Agatha winner Spencer-Fleming's triumphant third novel (after 2003's A Fountain Filled with Blood), Clare Fergusson, Anglican priest and ex-army helicopter pilot, and Sheriff Russ Van Alstyne investigate the hidden secrets, past and present, of a prominent Millers Kill, N.Y., family and must also face the hidden secrets of their own hearts.. ... Since her first outing, In the Bleak Midwinter (2002), Clare has grown in complexity, as shown in a number of exquisitely described scenes between her and Russ in the church. The season of Lent serves as a most fitting backdrop, starting with Ash Wednesday and culminating in the Great Easter Vigil. The author expertly portrays the power of grief, guilt, greed and love and their effect on good people in a story as chilling as the month of March in Millers Kill. A subtle sense of humor further enhances this poignant and provocative mystery. - Publishers Weekly
A Fountain Filled
with Bloodby Julia Spencer-Fleming / Hardcover / April 2003 *
Spencer-Fleming's second cozy-cum-thriller to feature the Reverend Clare Fergusson, an ex-army helicopter pilot turned Anglican priest, is every bit as riveting as her first, In the Bleak Midwinter (2002). .... Clare, rector of St. Alban's Episcopal Church, and the very much married police chief Russ Van Alstyne, who have spent the last six months avoiding each other in hopes of dispelling their mutual attraction, find themselves working together on a perilous murder investigation. With eloquent exposition and natural dialogue, the precisely constructed plot moves effortlessly to its dramatic conclusion. - Publishers Weekly
In 
the Bleak
Midwinter
by Julia Spencer-Fleming / Hardcover / March 2002 **
In this debut novel, a riveting page-turner from start to finish, born-and-bred Virginian Clare Ferguson, newly ordained priest of St. Alban's Episcopal Church in the small upstate New York town of Millers Kill, is faced with not only an early December snowstorm and the bitter cold of her first Northern winter but also a conservative vestry, who apparently expended all their daring on hiring her, a female priest. When a baby is left on the church doorstep with a note designating that he be given to two of her parishioners, Clare calls in police chief Russ Van Alstyne. The foundling case quickly becomes an investigation into murder that will shatter the lives of members of her congregation, challenge her own feelings and faith and threaten her life. - Publishers Weekly
The
Poems 
of Rowan Williams
By Rowan Williams / Paperback / March 2004
Long admired as a compassionate churchman and a superb scholar, Rowan Williams is also a poet of resounding voice and feeling. His earthy, poetic meditations are for everyone, religious and nonreligious alike. Archbishop Williams speaks from the crucible of faith, yet his words emerge from the universal experience of life. "I dislike the idea of being a religious poet," he says. "I would prefer to be a poet for whom religious things matter intensely." The Poems of Rowan Williams gathers all of the poems from the Archbishopís two previous collections, After Silent Centuries (1994) and Remembering Jerusalem (2001), and includes some more recent ones as well.
Light
from Heaven
By Jan Karon / Hardcover / November 2005 **
All good things&emdash;even laughter and orange marmalade cake&emdash;must come to an end. And in Light from Heaven, the long-anticipated final volume in the phenomenally successful Mitford Years series, Karon deftly ties up all the loose ends of Father Timothy Kavanagh's deeply affecting life. On a century-old valley farm where Father Tim and Cynthia are housesitting, there's plenty to say grace over, from the havoc of a windstorm to a surprising new addition to the household and a mystery in the chicken house. It's life on the mountaintop, however, that promises to give Father Tim the definitive challenge of his long priesthood. Can he step up to the plate and revive a remote, long-empty mountain church, asap? Or has he been called to accomplish the impossible? Fortunately, he's been given an angel&emdash;in the flesh, of course. Light from Heaven is filled with characters old and new and with answers to all the questions that Karon fans have asked since the series began nearly a decade ago. To put it simply&emdash;it's her best. And we believe millions will agree. -- The publisher

In This Mountain finds Father Tim
and Cynthia again living in Mitford, following their stint
on Whitecap Island a couple of years ago. Though Father Tim

country. What's he doing? Staring at a blank page in a
proposed book of essays, waging a losing battle against
moles, and filling an occasional pulpit. Thus, when he
decides to take on a unique and difficult ministry, he feels
newly energized. He even begins to think he likes
change-until an unexpected event propels him on a painful
journey that shakes his faith, his marriage, and the whole
town of Mitford.

Quotes (The Mitford
Years)

The
Heartbreaker
by Susan Howatch / Hardcover / April 2004 **
The heartbreaker of the title is a stylish and gorgeous young man by the name of Gavin Blake&emdash;a newcomer to Howatch's popular Church of England series. Set in 1992, two years after the conclusion of the last entry in the series (The High Flyer), this latest details Gavin's life as a high-class prostitute in London and his involvement with characters who will be familiar to readers of the series: Carta Graham, a well-heeled former lawyer; Nicholas Darrow, the charismatic rector of St. Benet's church; and the mysterious Elizabeth, Gavin's pimp-mistress with a shady past in the occult and New Age healing. -- Publishers Weekly
The High Flyer: A Novelby Susan Howatch / Hardcover / July 2000 **
Set in 1990, this book follows The Wonder Worker and once again we see Alice, Nick Darrow, and the other denizens of the Healing Centre at St. Benet's church. This time, however, the story is told from the point of view of Ms. Carter Graham, a 35-year-old lawyer who nearly "has it all." But reality is about to change her course. Carter slowly begins to learn that her husband, Kim, is not what he seems. Her world shattering--is she going mad?--Carter plunges into a darkness and terror she has never known before. In desperation, pushing past her long-held scepticism, she seeks shelter and help at St. Benet's Healing Centre and begins a psychological and spiritual journey that will bring her to a startling understanding of Kim and, more important, of her own life, past and future. Following in the tradition she has so brilliantly made her own, Susan Howatch once again gives us a novel that weaves together the ecclesiastical and the earthly in an electrifying, masterfully told story.
The Wonder Worker : A NovelSusan Howatch / Paperback / Oct 1998 **
After 17 novels, including the
acclaimed series about the Church of England (Absolute
Truths), Howatch continues to write impressive fiction
imbued with moral questions. At St. Benet's-by-the-Wall, a
small church in the City of London, Nicholas Darrow heads a
ministry of healing. He is a clergyman in his mid-40s,
blessed -- and cursed -- with both true healing powers and a
deeply mysterious allure. He is haunted by a profound and
dangerous weakness: at times of greatest stress, he falls
into the habits of a 'wonder worker,' believing his powers
to be God-like rather than God-given. And recent events at
St. Benet's -- a 'demonic brew' of obsession, deception and
desire -- are beginning to push him in that direction. He
must undertake an arduous struggle to regain emotional and
psychic equilibrium or risk ruining, in the most insidious
ways, every life he attempts to heal.
Available in
hardcover (a lower cost!)
Absolute
Truths
by Susan Howatch / Paperback / May 1996 **
The sixth and final part of Howatch's Church of England series. Charles Ashworth, the narrator of the first in the series (Glittering Images, 1987), is even more attractive as an aging intellectual bishop struggling to come to terms with the very un-Christian 1960s. There's really very little like this work in modern literature. There are hints of Trollope, hints of C. S. Lewis, in these pages, but nowhere else does one discover the distinctive genius of Anglican theology--intelligent, commonsensical, optimistic--so movingly wrapped in the heartbreaking dramas of husbands, wives, fathers, children, and spiritual guides. At the center of each novel is a tragedy, but Howatch's novels are not so much about tragedy as about the way ordinary men and women struggle through humility and forgiveness toward the far horizon of redemption.

The Book
of Light
by Michelle Blake Hardcover / May 2003 *
Lily Connor, the slightly unorthodox Episcopalian priest, now a temporary chaplain at Tate University near Boston, gets involved with an old friend from divinity school in mystery and adventure involving an ancient scroll, The Book of Light, which predates the New Testament gospels and includes the words of Jesus himself. In spite of the personal dangers the priest and her friends face, the document provides a stepping stone for Lily to clarify her own personal doubts and solidify her spiritual beliefs. Eloquent prose, astute scholarship, convincing characters and vivid settings, from the streets of Harvard Square to a monastic community on the Greek island of Athos, make this a remarkable work, raising the genre of the parish mystery to new heights. - Publishers Weekly
Earth Has No
Sorrow

passion for the truth forces her to confront evil-even when
it dwells within her own church.

Also by Michelle Blake The Tentmaker
The Tentmakerby Michelle Blake / Hardcover / Sep 1999 *
In a debut novel that promises many good things to come, Michelle Blake introduces us to Lily Connor, an Episcopalian priest whose own life could use a lot of prayer. It takes a lot for a new female protagonist to stand out in the crowded, cluttered mystery field, but based on "The Tentmaker," Lily could be one of the few with staying power. She's smart but not smart-alecky, insecure but not weak, interested in romance but not bed-hopping or bitter. Blake has given her enough texture to interest readers without making her so quirky that she's off-putting. - The Cleveland Plain Dealer

Vicar of Afton

His Bishop insists he take an assistant who, after some trial and error, turns out to be a young woman, Rachel, bright and attractive, but with a turbulent emotional background. In love with a man reported missing in Nepal, she is, at the same time, thrown together with a young convict she had befriended years ago. Rachel feels compelled to rehabilitate Ben in the face of the parish's growing displeasure. Sam's support and sympathy sustain Rachel, but can only slow the inevitability of a tragic ending.

The Vicar of Nibbleswicke
by Roald Dahl, Quentin Blake (Illustrator) / paperback /
reprint May 1994 *
The nervous new vicar's youthful dyslexia suddenly resurfaces in an odd form: Certain words come out of his mouth reversed. Thus, advising a group of first communicants on how to accept the wine, he cries, ``You must never plug it...What you must do is pis. Pis gently.'' After a stream of similar incidents, the vicar sees a doctor who reassures him (``Back-to- Front Dyslexia. It is very common among tortoises...'') and prescribes a simple cure: walk backwards. And so the vicar does, through a long and happy career. Dahl (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) wrote this story (and auctioned the rights) to benefit the Dyslexia Institute; the book is slim but handsomely designed for children and adults and it's a particularly good laugh for Anglicans, especially when we begin to take ourselves too seriously.
