The day is now far spent / by Sarah, Robert,author.(CARDINAL)813819; Diat, Nicolas,author.(CARDINAL)814113; Miller, Michael J.(Translator),translator.(CARDINAL)814924;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 345-349)Alas, Judas Iscariot -- Part I: Spiritual and religious collapse -- Part II: Man belittled -- Part III: The fall of truth, moral decadence, and bad political habits -- Part IV: Rediscovering hope : the practice of the Christian virtues -- Postscript: Let nothing trouble me."Robert Cardinal Sarah calls The Day Is Now Far Spent his most important book. He analyzes the spiritual, moral and political collapse of the Western world and concludes that "the decadence of our time has all the faces of mortal peril." A cultural identity crisis, he writes, is at the root of the problems facing Western society. "The West no longer knows who it is, because it no longer knows and does not want to know who made it, who established it, as it was and as it is. Many countries today ignore their own history. This self-suffocation naturally leads to a decadence that opens the path to new, barbaric civilizations." While making clear the gravity of the present situation, the cardinal demonstrates that it is possible to avoid the hell of a world without God, a world without hope. He calls for a renewal of devotion to Christ through prayer and the practice of virtue." --

A bluestocking's guide to decadence / by Everlee, Jess,author.(CARDINAL)862327;
London, 1885 A lesbian in a lavender marriage, Jo Smith cuts a dashing figure in pin-striped trousers, working in her bookshop and keeping impolite company. But her hard-earned stability is about to be upended thanks to her husband's pregnant paramour, who needs medical attention that no reputable doctor will provide. Enter Dr. Emily Clarke, a tantalizing bluestocking working at a quaint village hospital outside the city. Emily has reservations about getting mixed up in Jo's scandalous arrangement, but her flustered, heart-racing response to Jo has her agreeing to help despite herself. There's a world of difference between Jo's community of underground clubs and sapphic societies and Emily's respectable suburbs. Perhaps it's a gap that even fervent desire can't bridge. But for those bold enough to take the risk, who knows what delicious adventures might be in store ...

Reading between the lies / by Cahoon, Lynn,author.(CARDINAL)611378;
"Rarity is grateful for many things and people in her new life, including her friend Shirley, who is helping to provide backpacks and supplies for kids going back to school. But Shirley needs a big favor. With her husband in a memory-care home, she wants to attend an art opening with a male friend but fears local gossip. She asks Rarity, her friend Sam, and their boyfriends to come along as cover. It would be fun if not for the fact that the two couples are barely speaking... The evening proceeds without any social disasters. But the gallery owner--who struck Rarity as more of a spoiled playboy--is later found dead with an arrow in his back. Any lingering tensions must be set aside so the amateur sleuths can find an archer who may have taken the idea of pointed criticism a bit too literally..." --

Basing his study on extensive research into medical as well as theological thought, economics as well as literature, he has created a unique masterpiece of research, understanding and imagination."

Paris, 1939: Young mothers Elise and Juliette become fast friends the day they meet in the beautiful Bois de Boulogne. Though there is a shadow of war creeping across Europe, neither woman suspects that their lives are about to irrevocably change. When Elise becomes a target of the German occupation, she entrusts Juliette with the most precious thing in her life--her young daughter, playmate to Juliette's own little girl. But nowhere is safe in war, not even a quiet little bookshop like Juliette's Librairie des Rêves, and, when a bomb falls on their neighborhood, Juliette's world is destroyed along with it. When the war finally ends, Elise returns to reunite with her daughter, only to find her friend's bookstore reduced to rubble--and Juliette nowhere to be found. What happened to her daughter in those last, terrible moments? Juliette has seemingly vanished without a trace, taking all the answers with her. Elise's desperate search leads her to New York--and to Juliette--one final, fateful time.
