When Father Jake Austin is assigned to his hometown of Oberlin, Ohio, in July of 2002, he has been away for a long time. A physician and a war veteran before entering a Catholic seminary, he is now a member of the Camillian Order. He takes comfort in his vows of obedience, poverty, chastity, and service to the sick.
Jake arrives just in time to attend his high school reunion, where an encounter with his high school sweetheart forces him to question his commitment to the priesthood. Before the night is over, one of his classmates will be dead, a second gravely wounded, and a third hospitalized. The carnage at the reunion comes on the heels of what appears to be an unrelated murder at the quarry. Overseeing the investigation is Jake's former football teammate, Chief of Police Tremont "Tree" Macon, who is unwilling to rule out anyone as a suspect, not even Jake. As he struggles to prove his innocence and to find his footing in a town that remembers him as a hellion, Jake searches for threads that will connect these brutal attacks.
The war may be long past, but in some ways Jake is still waiting for his DEROS: Date of Expected Return from Overseas. Can he put aside his own demons long enough to find the living, breathing devil who stalks his classmates?
A fascinating, often humorous and brutally honest look at the journey of a monk, a yogi, specifically focusing on the sexual component to a spiritual life. Vanek had spent seven years as a Vippassana Buddhist Bikkhu and over forty years as a Bramachari Yogi. He lived in the mid-ranges of the Himalayas studying, teaching and running a business in religious icons for over twenty-five years. 'Unprotected Sects' is both his story and a description of the celibate-bramachari lifestyle he embraced. While people have many ideas about bramacharya, Vanek attempts to describe the reality, along with the rewards and possible pitfalls.
(Revised 2020) What is human trafficking? Why are millions enslaved in lives of labor and sex trafficking? How do traffickers control their victims? What are the needs of trafficking victims? Why don't more victims reach out for help? What are the challenges faced by law enforcement? What can I do to help?
John Vanek, nationally recognized authority on the response to human trafficking, along with sixteen expert contributors, answers these and other commonly-asked questions about one of the greatest human rights violations today: human trafficking. The Essential Abolitionist offers context to complex topics, reviews the challenges involved in fighting human trafficking and assisting victims, and examines head-on the myths and misconceptions related to modern slavery. If you are already involved in the response to human trafficking, want to get involved, or simply seek a better understanding of this complex, global issue, The Essential Abolitionist will engage, educate, and inspire.

In his hometown of Oberlin, Ohio, Father Jake Austin assumes multiple, often seemingly incompatible roles of physician, priest, healer and detective. Having served as a physician and a soldier before entering a Catholic seminary, he is now a member of the Camillian Order and takes comfort in his service to the sick.
When a comatose infant is admitted to the hospital, Jake must serve the young Catholic parents while working with the local chief of police, Tree Macon, to investigate. Is it SIDS, or something more? Meanwhile, Jake's responsibilities have increased beyond priest and physician to full-time uncle. His half-sister, Justine, a single mother critically ill with leukemia, is staying in the rectory with her son. Jake is her closest related donor for a possible bone marrow transplant.
The Bishop asks Jake to investigate the reports of a Virgin Mary statue that weeps blood. Father Jake asks his close friend, Emily to help him figure out if it is a hoax or a true miracle. With each case, Jake hopes for miracles, and disaster produces unexpected good from evil as Jake's faith is reaffirmed in his pursuit of truth.
Book 2 in the Father Jake Austin Mystery series.
