Download or read book The Angel of Ashland written by Vincent Genovese and published by Prometheus Books. This book was released on 2010-06-28 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over fifty years Dr. Robert Spencer (1889-1969) practiced medicine in the small coal-mining town of Ashland, PA. As the only town doctor, he was known by everyone as a dedicated medical professional who spent long hours at his clinic, charged a modest fee for his services, never turned anyone away who couldn''t pay, and was the person the townspeople turned to with their many ailments and injuries.But he also gained another kind of notoriety as well, about which there was generally a discreet silence in the town: he would willingly perform safe and reliable abortions. Women "in trouble" could consult him without shame or fear, and he would perform the procedure quickly and efficiently with no questions asked. This was unique in the era before Roe v. Wade, especially in the 1920s when Dr. Spencer opened his practice. As a result he soon became a much-sought-after physician, to whom doctors throughout the country would refer women who wished to end their pregnancies.Of course, many disapproved of his not-so-secret and illegal abortion practice. Despite the townspeople''s reliance on him for his medical expertise, over the years he was blackmailed, robbed, often shunned in public, censured by the American Medical Association, and arrested by the police.This is the first biography of Dr. Spencer. Vincent Genovese has done yeoman''s work in reconstructing Dr. Spencer''s life and career by researching his correspondence, interviewing surviving Ashland residents who knew him, and combing through old newspaper archives. This unique biography is a must read for anyone interested in the issue of abortion.
Download or read book Ashlandia written by Caroline Lion and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-12-11 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Caroline Lion is an exceptionally imaginative author. Her talent, diligence and discipline have produced many entertaining and illuminating books over the years and Ive enjoyed them all. Alan Rinzler (co-founder Rolling Stone Magazine) Id follow Caroline (Kitty) Lion to the edges of the Serengeti ...and farther. Tom Robbins (best selling novelist) These are the words that have been used to describe the writing of Caroline Lion: Scintillating, wild, vivid, painfully true, entertaining, conscious, real, mystical, healing, compassionate, artistic, foundational, observant, piercing, prophetic, fun, jarring, edgy, and brilliant. Ashlandia can be seen as the place where two paths meet...the study of Torah with the study of fiction; the beat/hippie New Age generations with modern midrash. Its written with respect and love for all people who know the many hurdles we face on the Ashlandia path. Caroline Lion

As well as helping her survive in the brutal conditions of the camp, he teaches Natasza the secret of healing and how to move past anger toward compassion. She forms the Sisters of Light, a group of young women who, although they have few medicines to offer, bring gifts of love and forgiveness to their fellow prisoners. They form a bond of the heart that sustains them and keeps them connected through the horror of their daily existence. Author Tarra Light was raised in an East Coast Jewish family but had little knowledge of the Holocaust while growing up. During past-life regression therapy in 1996, she began to access a previous life as an inmate at Auschwitz. Her newly unlocked memories form the basis of this eloquent testimony to the power of the spirit in the most dire circumstances.

And, most important: Do I believe it enough to let it change me?

Twelve years later they moved to a small logging community in southern Oregon and a whole new life for a little farm boy. Larry encountered a lot of interesting moments as a young man that he would have been far better off avoiding. Eventually, he wound up in the penitentiary as a result of one of these incidents. At first, however, he did not take his incarceration seriously. When he finally realized how serious the situation was, he started doing things with his life much differently. He has been a sailor, a logger, and a head saw filer in mills across the Northwest for the last 30 years. He has written songs and poetry, exploring the process of creative writing. Now he tells his story. The Survivalist takes an in-depth look at the life and times of Larry Hager. After all of the ups and downs, he finally got it right!

Download or read book In Pursuit of Love written by Vincent J. Genovesi and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While retaining the basic structure of the original book, this new edition has been thoroughly updated in light of some official Catholic documents and other theological writings dealing with sexual morality that have appeared since 1986. The Catechism of the Catholic Church, Pope John Paul II's encyclicals Veritatis splendor and Evangelium vitae, and the 1986 and 1992statements of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith on pastoral care of homosexuals and the issue of discrimination against them are among the more recent magisterial publications considered in this text. This edition also contains several new sections: the misuses of sex (adultery, pornography, prostitution, sexual violence); four rationales for viewing a committed love relationship as the only appropriate context for sexual intercourse; marriage as a sacrament and marital sexuality and love as embodiments of commitment, intimacy, and passion; and public policy and the civil rights of homosexuals. This edition also includes an expanded discussion of topics such as sexism, sexually transmitted diseases especially HIV/AIDS and the moral questions raised by new family-planning methods (Norplant, Depo-Provera), RU-486, postcoital hormonal interventions against pregnancy, the start of human life, and abortion. Vincent J. Genovesi, SJ, received his PhD in Christian ethics from Emory University. He is a professor at St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia. His articles have appeared in such journals as The Thomist, The Way, America, and Review for Religious.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philosophic in nature and breathtaking in scope, this profound trilogy, told in a poetic manner, is reminiscent of literary masterpieces and the conclusion of the novel is remarkable. The main focus of the story surrounds the disappearance of Elizabeth Wells' beloved, John Law, who has either been kidnapped or killed by her crafty father. But the lovers have a sacred secret in their understanding of time and space as illusive and their promise to wait until the 'Twelfth of Never' should they ever be separated. The heroine, Elizabeth, devotes her life to this assurance; she never ages from the night the lovers were separated. There are those who believe she has gone mad; attempts on her life do not deter her devotion as the material sense of time stretches on. The authors are unaware of any other story with the exact and remarkable solution to a mystery.
