Stalking the Wild Dik-Dik

One Woman's Solo Misadventures Across Africa

By: Marie Javins

Stalking the Wild Dik-Dik is a spirited African adventure of a solo woman traveler whose overland excursion across the continent includes challenges, inevitable mishaps, and more than a few debacles. Author and world traveler Marie Javins is an unflappable narrator, who takes even the most bizarre and patience-trying situations with a dose of good humor. Javins fell in love with Africa when she traversed the continent in 2001 as part of a larger world tour. She later returned to spend half of 2005 revisiting the people and places that had so impacted her on her first trip. Javins was struck not by the desperation of Africa, but by its hope — the dignity of its people, the vibrancy of its cities, and the inherent adventure that is inherent it offered. Stalking the Wild Dik-Dik is a funny and compassionate account of the sort of lively and heedless undertaking that could only happen in Africa. Javins's brushes with wildlife are punctuated with more serious dilemmas. Through it all, Javins's experience of Africa is life-altering, and her witty observations make for the best kind of travel literature which takes its readers into the heart and soul of the continent.

By: Marie Javins

In this prose adaptation of the classic graphic novel, Tony Stark selects a dangerous upgrade for Iron Man to tackle a deadly new enemy. After revealing his secret identity as Iron Man, Tony Stark aims to engineer a better world. He is shifting the focus of Stark Industries from destructive weapons to life-improving technologies. With his revelation and his plan, Tony expects fame and adulation but he is only going to get more trouble . . After suffering a tragic, public failure, Tony knows he must improve Iron Man if he ever hopes to defeat a devastating new threat. One solution is a potentially lethal techno-organic virus known as Extremis. It will grant Tony more power than he has ever known—and test his spirit to the breaking point . . . Adapted from the graphic novel by Warren Ellis and Adi Granov. Praise for Iron Man: Extremis “Javins is a masterful writer when it comes to convincing the reader of the sensory details of travel, of locations and their character, and even more adept at portraying characters in a psychologically realistic way. . . . The dialogue is as sharp, appealing, and funny as the films are known for, and are windows into character personality as well.” —The Beat

True Devotion to Mary

TRUE DEVOTION TO MARY: WITH PREPARATION FOR TOTAL CONSECRATION SAINT LOUIS DE MONTFORT - The Original and Best 1863 Translation from the French by Reverend Frederick William Faber, D.D. - Two Books in One, True Devotion to Mary and 33-Day Preparation for Total Consecration - Includes Prefaces, an Introduction, information on True Devotion and Saint Louis De Montfort - A Classic Masterpiece of Marian Theology - Over 68,000 words including illustrations by Bartolome Esteban Murillo Publisher: Two Paperbacks and a Hardback Edition are available: 5"x8" Paperback Book: ISBN-13: 978-1-78379-000-5 6"x9" Paperback Book: ISBN-13: 978-1-78379-011-1 6"x9" Hardback Book: ISBN-13: 978-1-78379-004-3 A Treatise on the True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin or True Devotion to Mary is considered the greatest book on the Blessed Virgin Mary ever written and has been recommended and practiced by eight Popes. This is the original 'scrupulously faithful' translation by Reverend Frederick William Faber, D.D.. The great Marian Pope, Blessed Pope John Paul II practiced this Devotion to Mary, in his Letter to the Montfort Fathers he says: "A work destined to become a classic of Marian spirituality was published 160 years ago. St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort wrote the Treatise on True Devotion to the Blessed Virgin at the beginning of the 1700s, but the manuscript remained practically unknown for more than a century. When, almost by chance, it was at last discovered in 1842 and published in 1843, the work was an instant success, proving extraordinarily effective in spreading the "true devotion" to the Most Holy Virgin." "My motto; 'Totus Tuus' is inspired by the teaching of St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort. These two words express total belonging to Jesus through Mary: 'Tuus totus ego sum, et omnia mea tua sunt, ' St Louis Marie wrote, and he translates his words: 'I am all yours, and all that I have is yours, O most loving Jesus, through Mary, your most holy Mother' (Treatise on True Devotion, n. 233). This Saint's teaching has had a profound influence on the Marian devotion of many of the faithful and on my own life. It is a lived teaching of outstanding ascetic and mystical depth, expressed in a lively and passionate style that makes frequent use of images and symbols." "All our perfection," St. Louis Marie Grignion de Montfort writes, "consists in being conformed, united and consecrated to Jesus Christ; and therefore, the most perfect of all devotions is, without any doubt, that which most perfectly conforms, unites and consecrates us to Jesus Christ. Now, Mary being the most conformed of all creatures to Jesus Christ, it follows that, of all devotions, that which most consecrates and conforms the soul to Our Lord is devotion to his holy Mother, and that the more a soul is consecrated to Mary, the more it is consecrated to Jesus." (Treatise on True Devotion, n. 120) "When we praise her, love her, honour her or give anything to her, it is God who is praised, God who is loved, God who is glorified, and it is to God that we give, through Mary and in Mary." (Treatise on True Devotion, n. 225) Saint Louis-Marie Grignon De Montfort was a Catholic Priest and Missionary in Brittany and Vendee, France. He was born in Montfort-sur-Meu in 1673 and died in 1716. He was canonized by Pius XII in 1947. His feast day is on April 28th. He is considered one of the early proponents of the field of Mariology as it is known today, and a candidate to become a Doctor of the Church. PUBLISHER: CATHOLIC WAY PUBLISHING

2017 Reprint of 1955 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software.

To Jesus Through Mary

By: Jean-Marie Texier,Casimir Valla

St. Louis-Marie de Montfort wrote in his True Devotion to Mary: “By this practice, faithfully observed, you will give Jesus more glory in a month than by any other practice, however difficult, in many years.” This newly-translated book, written by a Montfort Father, contains thirty-one essays, which show you precisely how to do this with in-depth information. This veritable goldmine is the most thorough explanation on how to apply the True Devotion. Among other things, you will happily discover: (1) how the True Devotion puts the power of Mary at our disposal; (2) why the True Devotion is the supreme and most perfect expression of our love for Mary; (3) how to live this devotion faithfully throughout the day; (4) how to increase your merit for Heaven at every moment of your day; (5) why every Saturday is dedicated to Mary; (6) much greater insights into the holiness, greatness, and dignity of Mary, and why they are beyond anything we can imagine; (7) a brief biography of St. Louis-Marie, and the history of the development of Marian devotion in his life; (8) the fullness of grace in Mary; (9) how Mary is the ideal Mother of God and men; (10) why this devotion is not only the best, but the easiest to practice; (11) how God wants this devotion; (12) the essence of the True Devotion; (13) the clearest explanation of Mary's dwelling in the faithful soul (answers many objections); (14) why this is the best and easiest devotion to deliver souls from Purgatory and for avoiding it altogether; (15) why this devotion to Mary surpasses all others; (16) why it is not necessary to do extraordinary things or great works in order to give the greatest glory to God; (17) the benefits that will come to you by living this devotion; (18) why Mary cannot be an obstacle to union with God, but the most efficacious way to attain it; (19) why the holy slavery is the supreme and most perfect expression of our love toward Mary; (20) how we can never have enough respect for Mary; and, (21) why to reject the practice of the True Devotion is to reject the foundations of Christianity. This book is very important because St. Louis-Marie describes the True Devotion as “a mystery of grace unknown to even the wisest and most spiritual among Christians,” “a mystery of grace, unknown to the reprobate, and but little known even to the predestinate,” “one of these secrets of grace, unknown by the greater number of Christians, known even to few of the devout, and practiced and relished by a far less number still,” and, “a secret unknown to almost all Christians even the most devout.” He found it necessary to stress this point FOUR times! Everyone, the beginners and the more advanced, those with a spiritual director, and especially those without, will find this book very helpful. This is the ultimate insider's guide to understanding the true devotion, and a perfect complement to the True Devotion to Mary.
