After witnessing a terrifying spaceship that traveled from Mars, Nadya Cohan is haunted by her childhood memories when she starts having strange nightmares and flashbacks about alien abduction that she's unsure are just symptoms of false memory syndrome or an actual past experience. Marius Hayden, a mysterious man who appears after the incident just three weeks later, leaves Nadya in suspense. Nadya knows he's beyond different and, before long, starts having doubts that Marius is even human but instead an alien that she somehow develops emotions for. Strangely, Marius is attracted to her but thinks it was nothing more but a phase that will pass. Time passes on, and their trust is built stronger, and what is only left to explore is a forbidden divine love. The couple is aware that they could become the target to the treacherous government's plans if the relationship were to ever be discovered, and Marius is devastated to make a heartbreaking decision that will leave both lovers in turmoil of uncertainly that will only lead them down a road of destruction and affliction. Nadya must come to terms to the harsh reality of her own consequences by reckless decisions when she is forced to divulge the very secrecy that will become her new life.

resurrection and death in order to connect modern preaching with the excitement of a changed world. ÒAlthough we may be jaded by sermons that chase Bible verses tediously for twenty minutes or more, original listeners heard the gospel as a huge excitementÉThe apostles announced a changed world. The human world, they claimed, had begun all over again; we are living now in a 'new creation.' They invited startled listeners to join God's new humanity.Ó --From the Introduction Buttrick's teatment is no romanticizing of early Christianity. The church then was as dismaying as it is now. Instead, this book focuses on the early Christian sense that they had passed from death to new life--a reversal that began with Jesus' resurrection, then explored his passion, and finally his ministry and life. This book carefully examines the Gospel traditions so that this great reversal can be captured in Christian theology and proclamation.

In October 2002 the Tilburg Professor of Practical Theology, Tjeu van Knippenberg, retired. In order to honour him as a bright scholar in the field of fundamental practical theology and pastoral care, 23 of his colleagues at Tilburg University and elsewhere (Nijmegen and Leuven) contributed to this festschrift. Their attention is focused on the concept of boundaries in practical theology: between context and Christian tradition, church and society, personal identity and Christian narrative, individual and community. Different research projects out of the Tilburg tradition of practical theology are presented from an empirical-hermeneutical perspective.
