  There is no lack of talented women in the Catholic literary tradition. Yet these brilliant writers are often unfamiliar to today’s readers, or, if widely read, their Catholic identity is unrecognized. This collection introduces a dozen Catholic women novelists from the past two hundred years, presenting their fascinating lives, spiritual biographies, and sacramental vision in essays by twelve Catholic scholars and writers.   Edited by Haley Stewart and with a conclusion by best-selling author Natalia Sanmartin Fenollera, Women of the Catholic Imagination encourages the expansion of the Catholic literary canon by bringing these inspired writers back into the spotlight, laying the foundation for the reader’s discovery (or rediscovery) of their masterful works.

  Hospitality - Creating a Space...

  The concept of hospitality goes beyond simply entertaining guests. It is the art of making people feel valued, comfortable, and at ease in a given space. True hospitality is not about perfection or impressing others but about creating an environment where people feel welcomed and cared for. It is an intentional practice that involves thoughtfulness, warmth, and a genuine desire to serve. 
  Why hospitality matters can be seen in everyday interactions. Whether welcoming a friend into your home, greeting a stranger with kindness, or ensuring a guest feels at ease, hospitality has the power to transform relationships. It fosters connection, builds trust, and creates lasting memories. In a world where many feel disconnected, a hospitable spirit can make all the difference. It allows people to feel seen and valued, offering them a sense of belonging in an unfamiliar or even familiar space. 
  There is a difference between hosting and hospitality. Hosting often focuses on preparation, aesthetics, and the logistics of entertaining, such as planning meals or setting up a guest room. While these elements are valuable, true hospitality goes deeper. It is about the atmosphere and emotions a person experiences in a space. A well-decorated home means little if guests feel uncomfortable, unwelcome, or like an inconvenience. On the other hand, a modest setting can feel like a sanctuary when hospitality is extended with sincerity and care.

  “Canada’s best-known voice of dissent.” — CBC
  		 
  “It’s time we listened to the Maude Barlows of the world.” — CNN
  		 
  In this timely book, Barlow counters the prevailing atmosphere of pessimism that surrounds us and offers lessons of hope that she has learned from a lifetime of activism. She has been a linchpin in three major movements in her life: second-wave feminism, the battle against free trade and globalization, and the global fight for water justice. From each of these she draws her lessons of hope, emphasizing that effective activism is not really about the goal, rather it is about building a movement and finding like-minded people to carry the load with you. Barlow knows firsthand how hard fighting for change can be. But she also knows that change does happen and that hope is the essential ingredient.

  The Biggest Civil War Battles of...

  Americans have long been fascinated by the Civil War and its biggest battles, particularly Gettysburg, Antietam, and Shiloh, all of which involved Robert E. Lee or Ulysses S. Grant. But one of the 6 biggest battles of the war, and the one that took the heaviest toll by % on both armies was fought at the end of 1862 in Tennessee, and it involved neither of those generals. Though Stones River is mostly overlooked as a Civil War battle today, it had a decisive impact on the war. The two armies had both suffered nearly 33% casualties, an astounding number in 1862. 
  Of all the Civil War battles fought, and of all the victories achieved by Robert E. Lee at the command of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, the Battle of Chancellorsville is considered the most tactically complex and ultimately the most brilliant Confederate victory of the war. However, it cost them Stonewall Jackson, and the reorganization of the armies and the battle itself played an influential role in the way the Pennsylvania Campaign and the Battle of Gettysburg unfolded later that summer.  
  Without question, the most famous battle of the American Civil War took place outside of the small town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, which happened to be a transportation hub, serving as the center of a wheel with several roads leading out to other Pennsylvanian towns. From July 1-3, Robert E. Lee’s Confederate Army of Northern Virginia tried everything in its power to decisively defeat George Meade’s Union Army of the Potomac, unleashing ferocious assaults that inflicted nearly 50,000 casualties in all.  
  While many read about the siege of Vicksburg in the summer of 1863, as well as the desperate straits the Confederate soldiers and Vicksburg residents found themselves in, Grant’s initial attempts to advance towards Vicksburg met with several miserable failures, and it took several months just to get to the point where the Union forces could start a siege.
