“So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13:13
Faith, hope, and love―we hear a lot about each on their own, but how are they related? Why is this triad mentioned so often in the New Testament?
Written in the form of fifty-eight questions and answers, this book reveals how these three theological virtues―also referred to as “three divine sisters”―together serve as the foundation for our whole Christian life. Deeply scriptural, steeped in key theological texts, and modeled after the classic catechisms of church history, this book will instruct our minds, stir our hearts, and motivate us to faith-filled obedience.

‘This, gentlemen, is my rule: if I fail I don’t lose heart, if I succeed I persevere, and in any case I am never underhand. I’m not one to intrigue - and I’m proud of it.!’
First published in 1846, The Double is one of the finest of Dostoevsky’s shorter works. It is a doppelgänger literature classic.
The morbidly sensitive and pretentious clerk Golyadkin, who is already mentally disturbed due to the social demands of his employment and unrequited love, develops a persecution mania, which leads him to meet another man who looks precisely like him and is the leader of a conspiracy against him. A series of encounters with this being eventually drives him insane and lands him in an asylum.
