Sinopsis

In the tapestry of Hollywood stardom, Grace Patricia Kelly's story unfolds as a captivating narrative, blending the realms of American cinema and European royalty. Born into a prominent Catholic family with roots entwined in Irish and German heritage, Kelly emerged from the bustling streets of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, as a luminary destined for the limelight.

Embarking on her artistic journey, Kelly graced the stages of New York City's theatrical realm, where her talent blossomed in over 40 live drama shows during the Golden Age of Television. Her alma mater, the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, bore witness to her transformative growth, culminating in her graduation in 1949.
The cinematic canvas painted by Kelly's career exhibited a kaleidoscope of roles, each brushstroke contributing to her ascent to stardom. The adventure-romance "Mogambo" (1953), directed by the venerable John Ford, served as a pivotal juncture, earning her an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. The drama "The Country Girl" (1954) further embellished her accolades, securing an Academy Award for Best Actress.

Kelly's repertoire extended beyond accolades to a constellation of cinematic gems. From the timeless allure of "High Noon" (1952) to the enchanting "High Society" (1956), she left an indelible mark. The realm of suspense found its muse in Kelly through collaborations with the maestro Alfred Hitchcock, featuring in classics like "Dial M for Murder" (1954), "Rear Window" (1954), and "To Catch a Thief" (1955).

    The life story of Robert Monroe, consciousness pioneer, bestselling author, self-made millionaire, and out-of-body traveler.Robert Monroe was a towering figure in twentieth-century consciousness research, yet his story is mostly unknown. The boy who loved adventure and exploration, fast cars and rickety aircraft, became a millionaire through writing and producing radio shows in New York City. And then, at age forty-two, he found himself traveling out of body, having no idea what was happening to him.Journeys of Robert Monroe chronicles how Monroe became an iconoclast with his work in the consciousness world—making out-of-body experience (OBE) and astral travel household expressions. Monroe not only helped others understand this state of being, but through his research on binaural beats and his development of the technology known as Hemi-Sync, he made the OBE accessible through programs at the Monroe Institute. Attended by thousands of people each year, his institute used technology to create frequencies that helped people with everything from meditation and learning to curing insomnia, quitting smoking, and pain control.Journeys of Robert Monroe reveals his contribution to the understanding of human consciousness. Yet his legacies, as UC Davis psychology professor emeritus Charles Tart once said, “are not just a great gift to knowledge, but a real service to people who are plagued by doubts and unfulfilled spiritual longings.” His was a true hero’s journey.

    Our Daily Bread: From Argos to...

    A warmly funny, intensely moving and startlingly personal account of the lives of an urban parish priest and his parishioners.  
    Father Alex Frost was not always a man of the cloth. He found his calling while running an Argos store in his native Burnley, moonlighting as a stand-up comedian and die-hard fan of The Clarets and Depeche Mode. 
    But having achieved his profession, Fr Alex quickly recognised the 17,000 inhabitants of his new parish were in dire need of help. Burnley is typical of many towns across Britain: a place of run-down council estates, severe poverty litter, crime and drugs, but also a place where the sacred sits alongside the secular in an intimate and personal way. And so it was that he found himself running a food bank from a car park, helping the desperate amid his flock as the pandemic raged. 
    Fr Alex’s down-to-earth style of ministry struck a chord with people of all faiths, cultures and class at a time when the divide between rich and poor is widening cataclysmically. But amid the tragedy, addiction, appalling loss, illness and neglect, there also lies hope, joy and moments of comedy. Our Daily Bread is as much the story of the rich cast of characters that cross the threshold of any church as it is our vicar’s. Through them it shows the continued relevance of the church for those in peril: the poor and the marginalised. 
    This heartfelt and moving book seeks to give a voice to the voiceless, charting the tragedy and pain, humour and hope which are ever-present in his community. It is ultimately about modern poverty – and how we all can, and should, espouse Christian virtues of love, kindness, tolerance. 
    In Our Daily Bread, Father Alex Frost provides a raw and unfiltered look into the lives of those living on the fringes of society, their struggles with homelessness, and the power of volunteer work in alleviating their suffering. His spiritual journey, from managing an Argos store to becoming a beacon of hope for his parishioners, is a testament to the transformative power of faith and religion. 
    For fans of Richard Coles (Bringing in the Sheaves), Paula Gooder (Women and Men in Scripture and the Church), Rowan Williams (Passions of the Soul), Stephen Cottrell (Praying by Heart), and Colin Heber-Percy (Tales of a Country Parish).
