|  | Silent Night by Mary Higgins Clark, William Dufris
While in New York for a lifesaving operation for her husband, Catherine Dornan takes their young sons to see the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center.

The wallet holds his grandmother's St. Christopher medal--the medal that saved her husband's life in WWII and which Brian believes will save his father's life now. Unable to get his mother's attention, young Brian follows the thief into the city's subways--beginning a journey that will threaten his own life and forever change the lives of his mother and the thief.

 | Beyond Bumper Sticker Ethics by Steve Wilkins
In our rapid-fire world, messages come at us from every direction and compete for our precious time. And if there is anything we want heard, it had better fit on a bumper sticker or in a five-second sound bite. So, as slogans like those above show, entire ethical systems are often squeezed into a few words. But it doesn't take too much thought to know we shouldn't stake important moral decisions on a bumper sticker. The problem is not that advice briefly given is necessarily wrong. It's that ideas have consequences, and there's a lot more to the ideas behind bumper sticker than the slogans themselves say. With never-failing clarity, Steve Wilkens unpacks the complicated ideas behind the bumper stickers. Here a reliable, insightful teacher lays out the basics of cultural relativism, emotivism, utilitarianism, situation ethics, deontology and the other moralities of the day, and suggests Christian evaluations of each.

 | On the Heights of Despair by E. M. Cioran, Ilinca Zarifopol-Johnston, Ilinca Zaripofol-Johnston
Born of a terrible insomnia which E. M. Cioran called 'a dizzying lucidity which would turn even paradise into hell, ' this book presents the young philosopher, a self-described 'Nietzsche still complete with his Zarathustra, his poses, his mystical clown's tricks, a whole circus of the heights. An exorcism of despair, this book offers insights into the ironic anguish of Cioran's philosophic mind while providing fascinating information on his early development as a writer and thinker.
