Sinossi

F. A. Forbes' "Life of St. Vincent de Paul" is a meticulously crafted biography that delves into the profound spiritual journey and societal impact of one of Christianity's most venerable saints. Through a scholarly yet accessible narrative style, Forbes weaves together historical context, religious doctrine, and personal anecdotes to illuminate St. Vincent's dedication to service and compassion during the 17th century. The author employs vivid descriptions and compelling storytelling, making the text resonate with both academic readers and general audiences alike, while positioning St. Vincent's life within the broader tapestry of religious reform and social justice of his time. Forbes, a noted biographer and historian with a profound interest in ecclesiastical history, was inspired to write this work by his admiration for St. Vincent de Paul's unwavering commitment to the poor and marginalized. His extensive research reflects a deep reverence for the saint's humanitarian efforts, which resonate with the author's own values. Forbes' background in theology and history enriches the narrative, providing readers with a nuanced understanding of the cultural and historical backdrop against which St. Vincent operated. This biography is highly recommended for those interested in lives of saints, social reform, and the interplay of faith and action. Forbes' engaging prose and insightful analysis not only honor St. Vincent's legacy but also inspire modern readers to reflect on their own roles in the ongoing quest for social justice and compassion.

    A searing memoir about growing up in a fiercely loving, abusive rabbinical family in which the author's father, the charismatic head of a splinter Orthodox religious community, demands unswerving loyalty—and a commitment to guarding terrible secrets. 
     
     
     
    Sara Sherbill was raised by a father who was both a representative of God and a broken man harboring an intricate set of secrets. Her riveting story explores what happens when a daughter is tasked with keeping those secrets, and the cost of keeping them. It asks: How do we live with suffering? What does it mean to heal? In the face of unspeakable harm, what can be reclaimed? Sherbill's tale, written with grace and brutal honesty, reveals her struggle to reclaim her identity as a daughter, woman, and now mother. Most of all, it's a story about learning to live alongside our traumas without letting them consume us—what some might call redemption.

    How Not to Be a Political Wife:...

    ‘You think you’ve married a journalist, then, horrors, he becomes a politician.' 
    'Sarah Vine is the Bridget Jones of politics.' Plum Sykes 
    'Everyone in Westminster is talking about it.' The London Standard 
    'I take it all back; she's fabulous. Nobody in Westminster can afford not to buy this book.' Rachel Johnson 
    ‘Moving and heartfelt – what a journey. I’m amazed she’s still standing.’ Imogen Edwards-Jones 
    How Not to Be a Political Wife is an unflinching account of life at the heart of politics, and what it's like to have politics rip the heart out of your life. It’s a story of high hopes and dirty tricks, broken friendships and divided loyalties, laughter and glamour. 
    Recollections, as a great woman once said, may of course vary, but this is my story, the way I remember it, written with no fear, no favour – and no fucks left to give. 
    Buckle up. 
    I thought long and hard about writing this memoir. I’ve done so not to settle old scores or plead my case, but more because I hope it’s a tale worth telling, not just for those who are interested in the political events of the past few years, but also because it’s about the people and characters behind those events, and why things ended up the way they did. 
    For nearly 20 years I was inside the rooms of government, a sanctioned eavesdropper on the rise – and fall – of the Cameroon style of Conservatism. At the same time I was building a career in journalism, raising two children and doing my best to support my own husband, Michael Gove, on his political journey. I was both an insider and an outsider; an observer – via my journalism – as well as a participant in the cut and thrust (mainly cut, if I’m honest) of frontline politics. 
    After my divorce from Michael and the demise of the Conservatives’ Old Guard, that all came to an end. I’m no longer officially a Westminster WAG, but you won’t find me mourning. Politics trampled my health, my happiness, my marriage, my sanity; it placed intolerable pressure on my loved ones, especially my children; it twisted my sense of self, and others’ sense of me; it tainted everything I did or said. I can’t say I miss it. I do, however, miss the life and the relationships I had before it all. These are the recollections of a survivor, but they are also a love letter to all that was lost in the wreck. 
    In her latest memoir, Sarah Vine, the Sunday Times bestselling author, gives us an insider's view of the political process. This is not just a biography, but a story of campaigns, elections, and the personal toll they take.

    Kid on the Go! is Neill McKee's third work of creative nonfiction. It's a standalone prequel to his award-winning Finding Myself in Borneo. In this new book, McKee takes readers on a journey through his childhood, adolescence, and teenage years from the mid-40s to the mid-60s, in the small, then industrially-polluted town of Elmira, Ontario, Canada-one of the centers of production for Agent Orange during the Vietnam War. McKee's vivid descriptions, dialogue are a study of how a young boy learned to play and work, fish and hunt, avoid dangers, cope with death, deal with bullies, and to build or restore "escape" vehicles. You may laugh out loud as the author recalls his exploding hormones, attraction to girls, rebellion against authority, and survival of 1960s' "rock & roll" culture-emerging on the other side as a youth leader. After leaving Elmira, McKee describes his intensely searching university years, trying to decide which career path to follow. Except for a revealing postscript, the story ends when he accepts a volunteer teaching position on the island of Borneo, in Southeast Asia.
