    After spending more than a millennium in relative obscurity, Saint Joseph has become the second-most mentioned saint in the papal magisterium after the Virgin Mary. To understand the life and importance of Saint Joseph, a good place to start is with the first papal title ever granted him: "Patron of the Universal Church." 
     
     
     
    What is it that Saint Joseph has to offer the Church—and each one of us—today? That's the question that A Man Named Joseph: Guardian for Our Times seeks to answer. To get there, author, podcaster, and blogger Joe Heschmeyer cuts through a lot of our misconceptions to see what the Bible and the earliest Christians really say about Joseph as a model husband, father, and saint. Questions at the end of each chapter help guide personal reflection and group discussion. 
     
     
     
    Whatever we may be facing in life, we can go to Joseph for his example, his protection, and his prayers.

    Born into abandonment, raised amid suffering, and defined early by a body the world considered broken, she refused to be a victim of her circumstances. Through more than two dozen surgeries, multiple sports, and a relentless pursuit of greatness, she became one of the most decorated Paralympic athletes in history.

    The Life And Lies Of Harry Morris

    The life of Harry Morris was a classic 'rags to riches' tale: an East End Jewish barrow boy who became a feted nightclub operator in Knightsbridge and Mayfair. But there was a price to pay - his drive to transcend humble roots and a devastating early illness came at the cost of much myth-making and a family schism. Now, in 1963, as Harry makes a swansong cruise around the world with his mistress on a 'millionaire's yacht', the Caronia, his mask starts to slip. Each port of call brings back fresh memories and challenging revelations. Taking advantage of the crumbling of Harry's facade, Daniel Gardner tries to separate fact from fiction and understand why his glamorous but enigmatic grandfather disowned his heritage. It becomes a journey that will take him all the way back to the ancestral village in Poland and a universal story of emigration and reinvention. And in the process will he be able to help put the splintered ends of the family tree back together again?

    Introduction to the 100 Somethings Language Learning Series 
     
    Welcome to a revolutionary approach to language learning! This series helps you master Spanish by intertwining it with compelling topics like The Life and Works of Nikola Tesla. Each book centers on a theme (art, science, history) and presents 100 carefully chosen facts in both English and Spanish. 
     
    How It Works: 
     
    - Each fact is first introduced in Spanish, encouraging you to interpret it. 
     
    - The following page provides the fact in English and then repeats it in Spanish, aiding comprehension and memorization. 
     
    - The second half flips this order—English first, then Spanish, and English again—helping you practice translation in both directions for better mastery. 
     
    Benefits: 
     
    - Concise Learning: Focuses on one-sentence facts to ensure every word learned is impactful and directly related to your interests, making them easier to remember. 
     
    - Reinforcement: Alternating languages for each fact naturally strengthens vocabulary and grammar.
