Sinopse

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.

    It was a time of spiritualism. A world full of myth, mystery and mysticism. The people were open to the possibilities of life after death, supernatural powers and magic. 
     
    Into this world stepped a fascinating wizard of the mind and his name was Rasputin. Great powers to heal the sick, to save the wretched, prophesy the future and to bring on fits of spiritual excitement. He was a god of hypnosis and mesmerism and a master of trickery and magic. 
     
    Mad monk, mystic, prophet, man of God or con-man? Rasputin's evil eyes stare at us across the generations as a warning shot to all those who would believe without question the words of a self-proclaimed spiritual man.

    At eighteen, Bailey Williams bolted from her strict Mormon upbringing to a Marine recruiting office to enlist as a 2600—a military linguist. But the first language the Marine Corps taught her wasn't Arabic, Farsi, or Dari. It was how Marines speak to, and about, women. There are only three kinds of women in the Marine Corps, she was told: you can be a bitch, a dyke, or a whore. 
     
     
     
    Determined to prove she's not whatever it is the men around her believe a woman to be, Private Williams turned to an eating disorder, intending to show her discipline through the visible testament of bone. She ran endurance distances on an increasingly Spartan diet, shoving through her own body's resistance. 
     
     
     
    Pushed to the brink by a leadership and a culture that demands women shrink themselves, she finally looked to the women around her, and began to wonder what else she was losing. Quietly but inexorably, the power of other women's stories whispered an alternative path to what it means to be a woman, and a warrior. 
     
     
     
    Hollow is a story for anyone whose identity has been prescribed to them—and has dared question if there is another way to live.
