Dorothy Day: Radical Devotion introduces readers to the amazing life of Dorothy Day, reviews her impact on the church and peace and justice movements, and provides an informative understanding of the process of canonization."Dorothy Day is certainly deserving of a lot more attention... This engaging graphic biography succinctly tells of her remarkable life of faith and service and adds another impetus to her eventual beatification and canonization."—His Eminence, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York"This is a remarkable and bold book by Paulist Press... It is a treat to read, to own and share; to leave open on a particularly lovely page."—The Tablet"The graphic novel, as it turns out, is the perfect medium to convey the nuance, power and multi-dimensionality of Day's legacy... Most essentially, Radical Devotion offers an invaluable compendium for those who want to learn about Dorothy, warts and all, while also learning about what made her so important: her radical devotion."—National Catholic Reporter"The artwork by Christopher Cardinale is vibrant. The colors are saturated, pulling you into the story. The details cause the eye to linger, and I found myself wanting to search each page for more... [The] openness to the complexity in Dorothy's life works to create a compelling story and also stays firmly away from any, as she might have called it, 'pious pap.'"—New York Catholic Worker"The text and dialogue narrating the book are solidly crafted and impressively informative, contextualized by historical notes, so that even those well-versed in the CW movement might learn something new."—Houston Catholic Worker"There are many great books about Day and Maurin and the movement they started, but this book serves as an easy and enjoyable introduction to who they were and what they did... It is an accessible biography of Dorothy Day and her journey from political radical to deeply religious Catholic."—National Catholic RegisterJeffry Odell Korgen is the author of numerous books and comics on Catholic social and pastoral ministry.

Tillfälligt slut

Which Side Are You On? tells the story of the classic union song that was written in 1931 by Florence Reece in a rain of bullets. It has been sung by people fighting for their rights all over the world. Florence's husband Sam was a coal miner in Kentucky. Many of the coal mines were owned by big companies, who kept wages low and spent as little money on safety as possible. Miners lived in company houses on company land and were paid in scrip, good only at the company store. The company owned the miners sure as sunrise.That's why they had to have a union. Miners went on strike until they could get better pay, safer working conditions, and health care. The company hired thugs to attack union organizers like Sam Reece.George Ella Lyon tells this hair-raising story through the eyes of one of Florence's daughters, a dry-witted, pig-tailed gal whose vantage point is from under the bed with her six brothers and sisters. The thugs' bullets hit the thin doors and windows of the company house and the kids lying low wonder whether they're going to make it out of this alive; wonder exactly if this strike will make their lives better or end them, but their mother keeps scribbling and singing. "We need a song," she tells her kids. That's not at all what they think they need. Graphic novelist Christopher Cardinale brings Florence's triumphant story to life in true rip-roaring union style.
