People of God is a brand new series of inspiring biographies for the general reader. Each volume offers a compelling and honest narrative of the life of an important twentieth or twenty-first century Catholic. Some living and some now deceased, each of these women and men have known challenges and weaknesses familiar to most of us, but responded to them in ways that call us to our own forms of heroism. Each of them offers a credible and concrete witness of faith, hope, and love to people of our own day. With the cause for his beatification reportedly moving along rapidly now at the Vatican, this biography of a people’s saint traces the events leading up to the assassination of Archbishop Oscar Romero at a chapel altar in San Salvador and the reverberations of that day in El Salvador and beyond. This in-depth look at Archbishop Romero, the pastor-defender of the poor and great witness of the faith, offers a prism through which to view a Catholic understanding of liberation and how to be a church of the poor, for the poor, as Pope Francis calls us to be. - E-bokEngelska, 2014

A story based on the real experiences of a girl who couldnt read. What is school like for Jenny and other children like her, and can she be helped? Read the heartwarming story of Jenny and her battle with dyslexia.
This project started when Demi said to me, Theres one thing I would love to be able to do, but I know it will never happen in my whole life, and that is to write a book. I told her about writers who have lots of brilliant ideas but need a secretary to do the writing. I volunteered, and Jenny Cant Read was born.
It is the story of a ten-year-old girl who is dyslexic and cant read. The first part of the book deals with a number of related issues, all based on true stories that Demi and other children have told me. These include the following:*Thinking there is something wrong with you. You are stupid.*Dreading certain lessons and pretending to be sick.*Having an unsympathetic teacher.*Being bullied. *Worrying a lot and feeling ashamed.*Hating school.In the second half of the book, she gets help and improves greatly. Issues include the following:*Getting help*Understanding dyslexia and how to improve*The effect of a brilliant teacher*Dealing with bullying*Improving self-esteem and confidence
This book will offer hope and encouragement to all children who are struggling to acquire reading and writing skills and to the teachers and parents who work with them. I strongly recommend that you read Jennys story.

The Second Vatican Council (‘Vatican II’:1962-65) sought to bring Church tradition into the present and to provide a renewal for our time of all that is Catholic. Sixty years later, many of the insights which were enthusiastically supported at the time have still not been fully implemented and there are elements within the Church’s hierarchy today whose preference is to return to the more rigid and doctrinaire approach to religion which was in evidence prior to the Council.This becomes apparent by the way in which official teachings and practices frequently continue to be presented and is one of the principal reasons to explain the ongoing level of defections from within the Church and our negative rating in society at large.The aim of the book is to provide a brief summary of the contribution of Church Councils over the centuries in the development of Christian teachings and practices and the particular contribution of Vatican II in expanding our understanding of the nature and purpose of the Church. Secondly, it is an attempt to portray God and the import of the incarnation of Jesus with the benefit of modern scholarship and using a language which reflects the currents of modern thought. - E-bokEngelska, 2017

A Long Way from Galilee, examines a number of the ways in which the Catholic Church has evolved during the course of its nearly 2,000 year history.Taking the form of an open-ended letter addressed to Pope Francis, it poses the question of whether the Church may have unduly strayed from its original mandate and the underlying message and example of Jesus upon which it was based. The priorities for the Church today are seen as being a willingness to admit to past mistakes, a continuing commitment to expand our understanding of the incarnation of Jesus and a firm resolve to apply the benefits of this in our pastoral response to the needs of the peoples of our own time. - E-bokPDF, Tyska, 2007

Die Rolle der Homosexuellen in Oper, Musical, Film und Literatur ist vielfältig untersucht worden, doch ausgerechnet die sorglos-melodienselige Operette fehlte bisher in dieser Liste. Das mag daran liegen, dass unsere heutige Wahrnehmung des Genres noch immer von den spießigen Inszenierungen der Nachkriegszeit geprägt ist, die nahtlos an die "gesäuberte" Aufführungspraxis unter dem Nationalsozialismus anknüpfte, die der Operette den Jazz und die sexuelle Anzüglichkeit gründlich ausgetrieben hat.Dabei tummeln sich überdurchschnittlich viele Homosexuelle als Fans und Fachleute vor, hinter und auf der Operettenbühne. Sie berichten hier darüber, was sie an dieser Kunstform so faszinierend finden. Außerdem wird in einem großen historischen Streifzug untersucht, welchen Beitrag Schwule als Komponisten, Librettisten, Regisseure und Sänger in der Geschichte der Operette geleistet haben. Ferner werden schwule Elemente in klassischen Operetten wie dem "Weißen Rössl" mit seinen Tiroler Jungs in Lederhosen untersucht, und schließlich wird die neueste US-Operette, "The Beastly Bombing" aus dem Jahr 2006, vorgestellt, die immerhin mit einem schwulen Jesus, pädophilen Priestern und zwei Terroristen aufwartet, die getraut werden wollen.Herausgeber Kevin Clarke ist der Direktor des Operetta Research Center Amsterdam, Autor von "Emmerich Kálmán und die transatlantische Operette" und "Im weißen Rössl – auf den Spuren einer Legende" sowie Organisator der Konferenz "Operette unterm Hakenkreuz" (2005). Sein Beitrag befasst sich mit Erik Charell und der Revueoperette im Berlin der 1920er Jahre.Richard C. Norton, Autor der "Chronology of the American Musical Theater", analysiert das Werk der britischen Operettenklassiker Noël Coward und Ivor Novello.Christophe Mirambeau, Biograf des Operettenkomponisten Albert Willemetz und des französischen Operettenstars Luis Mariano, beschreibt die schwule französische Operette des 20. Jahrhunderts.Kurt Gänzl, Autor der dreibändigen "Encyclopedia of the Musical Theatre", widerspricht in seinem Beitrag dem Klischee vom glamourverliebten Schwulen.Weitere Beiträge befassen sich mit dem Gesangsunterricht an der Berliner Universität der Künste (Adam Benzwi), Cross-Dessing in der Wiener Operette von 1860 bis 1936 (Hans-Dieter Roser), Camp als Schlüssel zum schwulen Operettenverständnis, der deutschen Fernsehoperette, der Vereinnahmung des Genres durch die Nazis, den Designern Viktor und Rolf und vielem mehr.
