Wear a Mask, Cupid!

Love (or at the very least, desire) always finds a way, right? The true stories in this collection reflect our basic human need to connect with others, physically and emotionally – and we won’t let a little thing like a pandemic stand in our way.

Sometimes funny and romantic, often disastrous and heartbreaking, our brave contributors share their adventures in online dating, dating long distance, dating by stealth, and trying to date but failing. Despite being light-hearted or simply-told, all of the stories demonstrate in their own way, how deeply complex, lonely and profound life can be in lockdown.

Tina Morganella, editor of 'Wear a Mask, Cupid!
Dr Maria Isabel Jimenez, editor of 'Wear a Mask, Cupid!'

“Who are you?” said Bushdude, still half asleep.
“Come and see” replied the voice.

PAPERBACK

All about Glory

“All about Glory is a beautifully, and simply written book, which carries within its simplicity a vision loaded with the glory of God. As you read you will find yourself stopping, underlining, and rereading. You will think. You will ponder. You will wonder. You will hope. It will gradually dawn on yor that there is far more going on in your life than you ever dared to dream.”
C. Baxter Kruger, PH.D., Author of Across all Worlds and The Shack Revisited.

“In All about Glory the author has taken generations of theology and refined it into everyday language. This is not just another theology text-book: this is a life-book. It will help you to appreciate the magnificence of God’s glory and what it means for life.”
Rev. Mark Stevens, Pastor, Happy Valley Church of Christ, South Australia and Author of The Parsons Patch wwwtheparsonspatch.com
