(What appears to be and is seen with our minds isn't alway...)
What appears to be and is seen with our minds isn't always the truth... Enter a world where miracles abound and shocking revelations lead to transformed perspectives: *A professor at last sees himself clearly, due to a wayward dog. *Neighbors gather to protect history and commit an unthinkable act. *A priest puts faith-and communion wafers-to the test. *A WWII pilot stalls the Japanese occupation of Wake Island with a unique technique. *A mute child's keen vision, hearing, and sacrifice causes music to rise to the heavens. *A futuristic assassinator gets surprise assistance. *Clonewights discuss the Original humanity back on earth, now lost. And more. Tales of the Hidden Apple steps beyond 'the artifacts of life' (what we can prove) to what is seen with the heart...what really matters. As human frailties and Eternal Wisdom connect in profound, divine moments, we are restored to the simple, complete faith that anchors every action and permeates life with unquestioning order and serenity, giving us courage for our own life journey. 17 tales to make the transient moments of life significant and holy. By the esteemed former 40-year professor at Notre Dame University, Edward Vasta. Don't miss his other titles: Mud Pie Mysteries, Love and Redemption, Family Passions, To Carthage We Came.

Although the literature of the Middle English Period is rich and varied, sometimes overshadowed by the genius of Chaucer, an anthology of the scholarly criticism of this literature has long been needed. Dr. Vasta, when a member of the department of English at Notre Dame, selected and edited fifteen of the most valuable and representative of the essays dealing with the important works and genre which reflect the theological, moral, and social facets of this versatile era, the last when the western world had something of a unity within the framework of the Christian ethic. Included are classic criticisms by Stephen Manning, Douglas Peterson, Wendell Stacy Johnson, Henry Wells, Elizabeth Zeeman, Homer A. Watt, and Arthur Moore, on the Owl and the Nightingale, Sir Gwain and the Green Knight, The Pearl, Piers Plowman, Morte d' Arthur, Second Shepherd's Play, and Everyman. This convenient collection, with its supplementary bibliographies, will lead the undergraduate into the literary aspects of the works and inspire the graduate and scholar to further inquiry.
