Download or read book Therese of Lisieux written by Thomas R. Nevin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006-10-12 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Therese of Lisieux (1873-1897), also known as St. Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face, is popularly named the Little Flower. A Carmelite nun, doctor of the church, and patron of a score of causes, she was famously acclaimed by Pope Pius X as the greatest saint of modern times. Therese is not only one of the most beloved saints of the Catholic Church but perhaps the most revered woman of the modern age. Pope John Paul II described her as a living icon of God. Her autobiography Story of a Soul has been translated into sixty languages. Having long transcended national and linguistic boundaries, she has crossed even religious ones. As daughter of Allah, she is venerated widely in Islamic cultures. Therese has been the subject of innumerable biographies and treatises, ranging from hagiographies to attacks on her intelligence and mental health. Thomas R. Nevin has gained access to many untapped archival materials and previously unpublished photographs. As a consequence he is able to offer a much fuller and more accurate portrait of the saints life and thought than his predecessors. He explores the dynamics of her family life and the early development of her spirituality. He draws extensively on the correspondence of her mother and documents her influence on Thereses autobiography and spirituality. He charts the development of Therese's career as a writer. He gives close attention to her poetry and plays usually dismissed as undistinguished and argues that they have great value as texts by which she addressed and informed her Carmelite community. He delves into the French medical literature of the time, in an effort to understand how the tuberculosis of which she died at the age of 24 was treated and lamentably mistreated. Finally, he offers a new understanding of Therese as a theologian for whom love, rather than doctrines and creeds, was the paramount value. Adding substantially to our knowledge and appreciation of this immensely popular and attractive figure, this book should appeal to many general readers as well as to scholars and students of modern Catholic history.

Download or read book The Gentle Warrior written by Twila Jean and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you become a "gentle warrior" when you're so damn angry you want to kill something?! Everywhere you turn there seems to be a wall you cannot penetrate. You are in a cage emotionally and all apparent answers you have sought have been exhausted; so you turn it inward because there seems to be no other way out. Not realizing that there is. There is a way out. It is our free will through the choices we mke. It is your birthday present. Never give your powere away to anyone. I propose our souls continue forever. This is the story of the gentle way how it really works. The Gentle Warrior is about dealing with real-life problems and the steps you can take to remedy them and how you can apply them to life's daily situations. It shows you how to change old reactive habits by replacing them with new ones that really work. The book is divided into 14 segments with poems throughout relating to the various subjects that deal with anger/depression, joy/sorrow and many others. It covers the basis of my book, which is unconditional love. This is a very "real-life" treatment of personal issues that we all face. My book deals with spiritual growth and free will choice concepts. The poems often say things in a different way and touch upon thoughts expressed by the author and possible the reader. It helps the person to realize that there are many others struggling with the same challenges and situations. It also deals with repetition and how to stop the same old habits. It gives hope and a way to make real changes in your life. A new way to get out of the same old groove using underlying concepts of truth and where unconditional love takes you. This is a book about helping others by helping ourselves. It shows us how to become what I believe to be our true nature. Then, when we help ourselves we automatically help others. A very "contagious love." The book ends on a note of heart hope and soul truth and my poem entitled "Smile". If I can make you smile today With jewels that I have brought While other pass the time away Caring with no thought A gift I have for you No greater one can there be Than to look upon your face and see What you have really given me

But not as clear as the spring in which a hill witch shows him his true face--and his secret destiny.... Now Tobin carries a burden he cannot share with even his closest friend, Ki, his squire. He is to rule--not as he is but as he was born: a woman. Given the shape of a boy by dark magic, Tobin is the last hope of the people of Illior--those who desperately seek a return to the old ways, when Skala was ruled by a line of warrior queens. They still believe that only a woman can lift the war, famine, and pestilence that have run rampant through the land since the king usurped his half sister’s throne. It is these outlaw wizards and witches who protect Tobin--and it is for them that Tobin must accept his fate. With the unsuspecting yet fiercely loyal Ki at his side, Tobin must turn traitor against the only blood ties he has left. He must lift the masks of Skala’s rulers to show their true colors--before he can reveal the power of the woman within himself.
