Daily meditations for Advent through Epiphany

Annunciation, incarnation and manifestation... These three words provide the connections between the seasons of Advent, Christmas and Epiphany. They are also links to the major theme of the seasons: the son of God coming into the world.... These three seasons together draw sharply into focus the fulfillment of God's promise to us in the birth of Jesus Christ our Redeemer.

The Consulting Detective Trilogy is the sequel to The Crack in the Lens that follows the adventures of Sherlock Holmes up to his meeting with Dr. John H. Watson. Along the way he meets many people who influence the early development of his career.

In Part I: University, Sherlock Holmes encounters strange deaths, a blackmail ring, a ship named "Gloria Scott," and the mysteries of his own mind while he studies at the University of Cambridge.

In The Consulting Detective Trilogy Part II: On Stage, a penniless Sherlock Holmes seeks refuge with his brother Mycroft in London. Soon a fellow student introduces him to a mysterious world of magic and deception which will teach him skills he will use throughout his detective career -- the world of the theatre. Kidnappers and a murderous attack at the stage door in London, police corruption in New York, train robbers in Nebraska, and hoodlums and shanghaiers in San Francisco are among the many challenges young Sherlock Holmes faces.

In The Consulting Detective Trilogy Part III: Montague Street is the conclusion to the four book series. In it Sherlock Holmes arrives back in London when Scotland Yard is rife with corruption. He solves two sensational crimes but receives little credit. He struggles to find to clients and fills his time with improving his knowledge and skills while solving mysteries for the challenge. Gradually the cases come and they involve a mysterious cult that meets in a millionaire's basement, a golden idol that threatens to destroy England, an old Russian woman lost in London, a man who believes his clock is killing him, and many more. Holmes meets Wiggins and Inspector Lestrade for the first time.

If someone had asked Sherlock Holmes later in the year, there is little doubt that he would have said his life began that spring day in 1871 when he met Violet Rushdale upon the moors and ended in the winter some months distant. His mother would have disputed the former claim, and many, both friend and foe, would come to deny the latter.

Yet what happened that year nearly cost him his life and his sanity, and strongly influenced the man he was to become.

"Grit in a sensitive instrument, or a crack in one of his high powered lenses, would not be more disturbing than a strong emotion in a nature such as his." Dr. John H. Watson in "A Scandal in Bohemia," The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes

Via Dolorosa (Lat. "sorrowful way") or Via Crucis (Lat. "the way of the Cross") is the path believed to be taken by Jesus from the place of his condemnation by Pilate to Mount Golgotha, the site of his crucifixion, and then to his grave site. Early Christians continued the ancient Jewish practice of pilgrimages to Jerusalem. Out of this practice came the tradition of the Stations of the Cross as a series of commemorative devotions or meditations. Author Diane Zike continues this tradition with this book of daily Lenten meditations.

Meditaciones de Cuaresma

Vía Dolorosa (Lat. “vía dolorosa”) o Via Crucis (Lat. “el Camino de la Cruz”) es el sendero que se cree fue percorrido por Jesús desde el lugar de su condena por Pilato al Monte Golgota, el lugar de su crucifixión, y luego al lugar de su tumba. Los primeros cristianos continuaron la antigua práctica judía de peregrinar hacia Jerusalén. De tal práctica nace la tradiciónde las Estaciones de la Cruz como una serie de devociones conmemorativas y devocionales. La autora, Diane Zike, continúa esa tradición com este libro de meditaciones dárias para a Cuaresma.
