  Mother Mary Teresa Bojaxhiu, typically referred to as Saint Teresa of Calcutta in the Catholic Church, was an Albanian-Indian Roman Catholic nun and missionary. She was born in Skopje (today the capital of North Macedonia), which was then part of the Ottoman Empire's Kosovo Vilayet. After eighteen years in Skopje, she went to Ireland and ultimately to India, where she spent the remainder of her life. 
  Teresa formed the Missionaries of Charity in the year 1950, a Roman Catholic spiritual order with about 4,500 nuns active in about 133 nations in the year 2012. The group runs houses for clients with HIV/AIDS, leprosy, and tuberculosis who are near death. Soup kitchen areas, dispensaries, mobile centers, kids' and family therapy programs, and also orphanages and schools, are all part of the company. Members swear chastity, poverty, and obedience, and also a 4th vow: "dedicated free service to the poorest of the poor." 
  Teresa got many awards, and that includes the Ramon Magsaysay Peace Reward in the year 1962 and the Nobel Peace Reward in the year 1979. 
  This celebrated Catholic saint has been the topic of discussion in many high circles. Let’s take a look at what happened in her life, and what she did.

  Ruth Markel is the mother of the late Dan Markel, a noted law professor who was murdered in Tallahassee, Florida, in 2014. In The Unveiling, she describes her experiences since the day of Dan's death from several distinct perspectives: 
   
   
   
  ● As a devastated mother with the unique human perspective of becoming a homicide survivor and victim. 
   
   
   
  ● As a woman whose attempts to achieve normalcy and live a healthy life are continually interrupted by painful reminders, a rollercoaster of hearings, frequently changing trial dates, verdicts, and appeals. 
   
   
   
  ● As an engaged citizen using what she has learned to help other victims of homicide and violent crimes recover from trauma and begin an optimistic outlook on life. 
   
   
   
  ● As an insider who shows how our collective network of family, friends, and experts have helped her family remain involved, motivated, and hopeful. 
   
   
   
  ● As a grandmother who had not been allowed to see her grandchildren in many years, she used advocacy to inspire the Florida State Legislature to pass a grandparent visitation bill. 
   
   
   
  ● And as an experienced author of nine books using the written word to effectively address the shift from grief to promise.

  Black Chameleon - Memory...

  This program is read by the author.In the literary tradition of Carmen Maria Machado’s In the Dream House, Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior, and Jesmyn Ward’s Men We Reaped, this debut memoir confronts both the challenges and joys of growing up Black and making your own truth.Growing up as a Black girl in America, Deborah Mouton felt alienated from the stories she learned in class. She yearned for stories she felt connected to—true ones of course—but also fables and mythologies that could help explain both the world and her place in it. What she encountered was almost always written by white writers who prospered in a time when human beings were treated as chattel, such as the Greek and Roman myths, which felt as dusty and foreign as ancient ruins. When she sought myths written by Black authors, they were rooted too far in the past, a continent away.Mouton writes, “The phrases of my mother and grandmother began to seem less colloquial and more tied to stories that had been lost along the way. . . . Mythmaking isn’t a lie. It is our moment to take the privilege of our own creativity to fill in the gaps that colonization has stolen from us. It is us choosing to write the tales that our children pull strength from. It is hijacking history for the ignorance in its closets. This, a truth that must start with the women.”Mouton’s memoir Black Chameleon is a song of praise and an elegy for Black womanhood. With a poet’s gift for lyricism and poignancy, Mouton reflects on her childhood as the daughter of a preacher and a harsh but loving mother, living in the world as a Black woman whose love is all too often coupled with danger, and finally learning to be a mother to another Black girl in America. Of the moment yet timeless, playful but incendiary, Mouton has staked out new territory in the memoir form.A Macmillan Audio production from Henry Holt & Company.

  Heretics by G. K. Chesterton is a thought-provoking collection of essays that critiques the intellectual and cultural trends of his time. Chesterton challenges the prevailing ideologies of modernity, targeting thinkers and movements he views as undermining tradition, faith, and common sense. With sharp wit and eloquence, he defends the necessity of orthodoxy—not as rigid dogma, but as a foundation for truth and sanity in an increasingly skeptical world. Chesterton argues that rejecting universal truths leads to fragmented philosophies and moral relativism, leaving humanity adrift. Through his characteristic blend of humor, paradox, and profound insight, he calls for a return to enduring values rooted in Christianity. Heretics is both a defense of belief and a celebration of the imaginative vitality that faith inspires, making it a timeless critique of doubt and a call to embrace meaning in a chaotic age.
