As human beings, we are created with universal longings. Where can our restless hearts find fulfillment?

Do you really believe in miracles? You believe God is who he says he is, but it’s easy for that belief to be more theoretical than practical.

It’s 1997. Sullivan Carter is now an apprentice at Carter & Sons Funeral Home, and his life has settled down considerably. Until his younger brother, Colton, opens a door to the afterlife in their new home, that is. A ghostly child now cries inconsolably from somewhere within the walls of the house. A tall, spindly shadow man who belongs in a forgotten children’s rhyme creeps through rooms after dark. And a spate of gruesome deaths in the village coincides with reported sightings of a beast that prowls the streets at night. Can Sullivan save the entire village by solving a decades' old mystery and closing the otherworldly door left open by Colton? Or will the darkness from last year, the darkness he’d rather forget, destroy him? Because some things from the cundy will not rest.

Originally organized in 1871 as a member of the New Jersey Conference Camp Meeting Association, Pitman was incorporated as a borough in 1905. The town was named after Rev. Charles Pitman, a well-known traveling Methodist minister who, in fact, had never been to Pitman. The borough evolved from a religious resort to a summer resort when Alcyon Park opened in 1892, but it retains its religious background. Even today, the Pitman Grove Auditorium is still holding camp meeting services on Sunday evenings during the summer months. Pitman includes vintage photographs documenting the growth of the borough from a tent city to its present hometown status. Included are scenes of a bygone era, such as those of the Alcyon Park area, early churches, the original downtown, and many buildings no longer in existence. Alcyon Park operated until the 1940s and Alcyon Track, one of the premier racetracks of its day, held events from 1895 until 1960. The Focer building, Dilks' Drug Store, and photographs of Pitman's fiftieth-anniversary celebration are also included. This history explores the growth of Pitman from its infancy to the early 1960s.
The recent resurgence of interest in the Puritan John Owen has resulted in increasing requests for Kelly Kapic's Communion with God, which was one of the books that helped foster renewed attention on this classic theologian. This book is now back in print with a new preface by the author. According to Kapic, a variety of people today are rediscovering Owen, including academic theologians, ministers from different denominational backgrounds, and laypeople interested in classic forms of spirituality. With this diverse audience in mind, Kapic focuses on the concept of communion with God in Owen's thought, covering key areas such as anthropology, Christology, trinitarian studies, and the Lord's supper. Kapic shows that Owen remains a rich dialogue partner for those engaged both in contemporary theology and pastoral practice.
