Download or read book Purple Reign written by Bruce Novozinsky and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-06-14 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a summer's day in 1977, Bruce Novozinsky found himself alone in a rest stop off Interstate 95 in Connecticut, clad only in a dress shirt, shorts, and dress shoes after escaping from a Howard Johnson's hotel where his parish priest tried to sexually assault him. Though it would take him a few decades to make the connection, the circumstances of Novozinsky's journey home to Jackson, New Jersey, and the Catholic Church's cover-up of the clergy child sexual abuse scandal made manifest in Boston in 2002, would lead this former altar boy and seminarian to revelations, some difficult to accept, about himself, his faith, and the moral failure of the Church hierarchy he once so loved and trusted. As the world reeled, the author was drawn back to not only his own brushes with opportunistic clergy, but also the schoolmates and friends who fell prey to these predators. The victims, now middle age men who bear the scars of traumatic sexual abuse share their stories, past and present, and the stories of other victims, too, are deftly interwoven in this honest and unpretentious treatment of the clergy sexual abuse crisis in New Jersey's Diocese of Trenton. Novozinsky's unvarnished look at the clerical culture reveals pedophilia as but one facet of the larger crisis - sexually active priests breaking their vows of celibacy with each other; the shielding of clergy through transfers, forced resignations, legal technicalities and prosecutorial deals; the Church's attempted blame shift to homosexuality and society's sexual degeneracy; and the silence of victims, secured through the politics of power and intimidation. The legacy of a succession of local bishops is that they acted first to protect the institution over the victim and employed every means to spare the realm, demonstrating that the crisis played out no differently in the idyllic New Jersey suburbs than it did anywhere else. A story of ecclesiastic corruption punctuated by first-hand accounts, clergy journals, taped conversations, and the author's personal narrative, Purple Reign evokes the 1970's of a Catholic schoolboy as rich and vividly as a memoir should. Novozinsky's emotional tether to the community he grew up in and in which his family is still an active part of resonates in this heartfelt but no nonsense, practical approach for moving the Diocese of Trenton, and indeed the Church as whole, though this crisis collaboratively - with transparency, accountability, and the abundant grace of God - to a place of renewed faith, hope and healing for its victims.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thou Shalt Not Be Horrible. Imagine for a moment what the world might look like if we as people of faith, morality, and conscience actually aspired to this mantra. What if we were fully burdened to create a world that was more loving and equitable than when we arrived? What if we invited one another to share in wide-open, fearless, spiritual communities truly marked by compassion and interdependence? What if we daily challenged ourselves to live a faith that simply made us better humans? John Pavlovitz explores how we can embody this kinder kind of spirituality where we humbly examine our belief system to understand how it might compel us to act in less-than-loving ways toward others. This simple phrase, "Thou Shalt Not Be Horrible," could help us practice what we preach by creating a world where: spiritual community provides a sense of belonging where all people are received as we are; the most important question we ask of a religious belief is not Is it true? but rather, is it helpful? it is morally impossible to pledge complete allegiance to both Jesus and America simultaneously; the way we treat others is the most tangible and meaningful expression of our belief system. In If God Is Love, Don't Be a Jerk, John Pavlovitz examines the bedrock ideas of our religion: the existence of hell, the utility of prayer, the way we treat LGBTQ people, the value of anger, and other doctrines to help all of us take a good, honest look at how the beliefs we hold can shape our relationships with God and our fellow humans—and to make sure that love has the last, loudest word.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Sr. Miriam James Heidland’s life as a successful college athlete proved unfulfilling, she went searching for something deeper and ended up falling in love with Jesus. By charting her own journey toward wholeness, Heidland invites young Catholics to pursue their own relationship with Jesus. Although originally full of athletic ambition and goals for a career in sports news, Heidland was transformed in a very slow but deep way during her undergraduate years, moving from party girl to bride of Christ. In Loved as I Am: An Invitation to Conversion, Healing, and Freedom through Jesus, Heidland helps readers learn from her experience of seeking love in the wrong places and instead finding it in Christ. She shares her struggles—learning she was adopted, battling alcoholism, and healing from childhood sexual abuse—as signs of hope that anyone who desires to know Christ can find him and be loved intimately by him in return. By bringing readers into Heidland’s healing process, Loved as I Am provides a gentle and subtle template for finding peace and freedom in Jesus.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES EDITORS’ CHOICE • In this vulnerable, insightful memoir, the New York Times columnist tells the story of his five-year struggle with a disease that officially doesn’t exist, exploring the limits of modern medicine, the stories that we unexpectedly fall into, and the secrets that only suffering reveals. “A powerful memoir about our fragile hopes in the face of chronic illness.”—Kate Bowler, bestselling author of Everything Happens for a Reason In the summer of 2015, Ross Douthat was moving his family, with two young daughters and a pregnant wife, from Washington, D.C., to a sprawling farmhouse in a picturesque Connecticut town when he acquired a mysterious and devastating sickness. It left him sleepless, crippled, wracked with pain--a shell of himself. After months of seeing doctors and descending deeper into a physical inferno, he discovered that he had a disease which according to CDC definitions does not actually exist: the chronic form of Lyme disease, a hotly contested condition that devastates the lives of tens of thousands of people but has no official recognition--and no medically approved cure. From a rural dream house that now felt like a prison, Douthat's search for help takes him off the map of official medicine, into territory where cranks and conspiracies abound and patients are forced to take control of their own treatment and experiment on themselves. Slowly, against his instincts and assumptions, he realizes that many of the cranks and weirdos are right, that many supposed "hypochondriacs" are victims of an indifferent medical establishment, and that all kinds of unexpected experiences and revelations lurk beneath the surface of normal existence, in the places underneath. The Deep Places is a story about what happens when you are terribly sick and realize that even the doctors who are willing to treat you can only do so much. Along the way, Douthat describes his struggle back toward health with wit and candor, portraying sickness as the most terrible of gifts. It teaches you to appreciate the grace of ordinary life by taking that life away from you. It reveals the deep strangeness of the world, the possibility that the reasonable people might be wrong, and the necessity of figuring out things for yourself. And it proves, day by dreadful day, that you are stronger than you ever imagined, and that even in the depths there is always hope.
