Summary

In a green and vibrant corner of Friuli, among nature-filled paths, city streets, and the hallways of a school, an extraordinary return takes place: Jesus is among us once again, this time with the face of a nineteen-year-old boy. With the simplicity of a smile and the depth of his teachings, Jesus enters the lives of his classmates. He speaks of love, justice, and peace. But the world is not ready. And not all of his friends are either. Barabbas, an aggressive and feared bully, openly challenges him. Judas, torn and ambiguous, wavers between admiration and envy. By Jesus's side, however, are Magdalene, his best friend, and Peter, the most loyal among his companions. Along with them are James, John, and other teenagers who begin to see the world through new eyes. This time, Jesus would like to stay, but the shadows of the past stretch into the present. And his destiny may once again be put to the test. The Smiles of Jesus – Never Leave Me Again is a timely and profound novel that blends spirituality, friendship, rebellion, and hope. A story that invites us to ask: What if salvation were already here, hidden in the simplest of gestures?

    Abraham Lincoln was still not considered a real option for the Republican presidential nomination until he delivered a speech at New York City’s Cooper Union in February 1860, just a few months before the Republicans’ convention in May. Lincoln had gained a bit of a national profile by debating Stephen Douglas during an Illinois Senate Race in 1858, and though he lost that election, Lincoln continued discussing the same themes, most notably slavery and Dred Scott in his Cooper Union speech. Although just 7,000 words long, the Cooper Union Address was almost universally praised in the North. 
Over 160 years later, Lincoln's Gettysburg Address is still considered arguably the greatest speech in American history. The address only took a few minutes, but in those few minutes, Lincoln invoked the principles of human equality espoused by the Declaration of Independence. In the process, he redefined the Civil War as a struggle not merely for the Union but as "a new birth of freedom" that would bring true equality to all of its citizens, ensure that democracy would remain a viable form of government, and would also create a unified nation in which states' rights were no longer dominant.  
Lincoln wasn’t given a chance to finish his work, but his thoughts and visions were eloquently saved for posterity in his Second Inaugural Address, delivered a month before his death and considered one of America’s greatest speeches. With the war nearing the end, Lincoln struck a conciliatory tone, reminding both sides that they prayed to the same God for victory and that neither side could divine God’s will. “With malice toward none, with charity for all,” Lincoln called for peace and reunion, his eye clearly on Reconstruction. Nobody will ever know how Lincoln would’ve managed Reconstruction, but in many respects, the Second Inaugural Address was a fitting postscript of sorts to his life and legacy.
