Download or read book Father Joe written by Kathryn Cloward and published by Kandon Unlimited, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-04-12 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Father Joe Carroll (1941-2021) helped millions of neighbors in need experiencing homelessness and poverty have access to meals, housing, education, job training, medical care and more. Is there such a thing as a hustler priest? Yes! Father Joe Carroll earned that label early in his career—and it stuck. Always a wheeler and dealer, starting from his childhood in the Bronx, his ability to get things done served him well in developing what’s now called Father Joe’s Villages in San Diego, California. This book of stories from Father Joe’s interesting life, shared in his voice, is heart-warming and heart-wrenching while also head-shaking and hilarious. From his antics as a youth and a seminarian to breaking new ground and crossing the lines when necessary to get things done to support neighbors in need experiencing homelessness, you’ll come to understand that “hustler” suited Father Joe well and he wouldn’t have had it any other way. Book Options Father Joe: Life Stories of a Hustler Priest is available in print (both paperback and hardcover), Kindle digital ebook, and Audible audiobook. The Audible version includes Father Joe introducing each story of the book. A portion of the proceeds will support children in need. About Father Joe Reverend Monsignor Joseph Carroll (April 12, 1941 — July 10, 2021), affectionately known as "Father Joe" to most people, grew up in the Bronx in a two-bedroom apartment with his parents and seven siblings. From childhood, he was entrepreneurially-minded, earning money by doing various jobs in his neighborhood, including being a Shabbos Goy for his Jewish neighbors. In his early 20s, he decided to move across the country to Southern California and a year later entered the seminary. Father Joe was ordained as a Catholic priest in 1974 and was a popular parish priest until 1982 when he was assigned to take over San Diego’s St. Vincent de Paul Center (now known as Father Joe’s Villages). Tasked to build a homeless shelter on an empty block in downtown San Diego, Father Joe’s persistence, charisma, and gregarious personality — along with a fearlessness of the unknown — resulted in developing a revolutionary approach to providing housing and services for people experiencing homelessness. Father Joe's idea, which he boldly shared on national television while being interviewed by 60 Minutes, became reality in 1987 with the opening of the first newly constructed building — St. Vincent de Paul Joan Kroc Center. Decades of development followed, as well as countless awards and international recognition for Father Joe, who became known as the "hustler priest" after seeking money to help neighbors in need on television. Father Joe retired in 2011 yet he continued to be dedicated to serving the greater San Diego community, which benefited greatly from his unique mindset of an entrepreneur, heart of a servant, and willingness to do whatever it takes to create results. Also during retirement, he continued his lifelong support of the Boy Scouts and attended scouting events as much as possible. Two years prior to his passing, Father Joe asked Kathryn Cloward to write a book for him. With tremendous honor, she dedicated herself to fulfilling the task in service to him. Father Joe joyfully celebrated his 80th birthday on April 12, 2021, with the release of Father Joe: Life Stories of a Hustler Priest. He approved every word in the book, which he proudly publicized as much as he could in the final months of his life. He was also delighted to be an illustrated character in Father Joe's Six Golden Seeds, which shares six principles for experiencing daily goodness. Father Joe passed away on July 10, 2021. His legacy of service, compassion, and love lives on in the countless lives he impacted, the programs he created, and these special stories he shared.
Download or read book You Had Me at Pet Nat written by Rachel Signer and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the publisher of Pipette Magazine, discover a natural wine-soaked memoir about finding your passion—and falling in love. It was Rachel Signer's dream to be that girl: the one smoking hand-rolled cigarettes out the windows of her 19th-century Parisian studio apartment, wearing second-hand Isabel Marant jeans and sipping a glass of Beaujolais redolent of crushed roses with a touch of horse mane. Instead she was an under-appreciated freelance journalist and waitress in New York City, frustrated at always being broke and completely miserable in love. When she tastes her first pétillant-naturel (pét-nat for short), a type of natural wine made with no additives or chemicals, it sets her on a journey of self-discovery, both deeply personal and professional, that leads her to Paris, Italy, Spain, Georgia, and finally deep into the wilds of South Australia and which forces her, in the face of her "Wildman," to ask herself the hard question: can she really handle the unconventional life she claims she wants? Have you ever been sidetracked by something that turned into a career path? Did you ever think you were looking for a certain kind of romantic partner, but fell in love with someone wild, passionate and with a completely different life? For Signer, the discovery of natural wine became an introduction to a larger ethos and philosophy that she had long craved: one rooted in egalitarianism, diversity, organics, environmental concerns, and ancient traditions. In You Had Me at Pét-Nat, as Signer begins to truly understand these revolutionary wine producers upending the industry, their deep commitment to making their wine with integrity and with as little intervention as possible, she is smacked with the realization that unless she faces, head-on, her own issues with commitment, she will not be able to live a life that is as freewheeling, unpredictable, and singular as the wine she loves.
