    Three great nonfiction works from the Nobel Prize–winning, Catholic, French author of Thérèse Desqueyroux.Saint Margaret of CortonaFor François Mauriac, Saint Margaret of Cortona became a source of fascination and solace during the Nazi occupation of France. During that time, feeling himself and all his countrymen to be among the downtrodden, he wrote this biography of the thirteenth-century Italian penitent who would become the patron saint of the homeless . . .Born in 1247 to a farming family in a small village outside Perugia, Margaret of Cortona was willful and reckless in her youth. At age seventeen, she became a wealthy man’s mistress—even bearing his son out of wedlock. But her life of sin ended when she found her lover murdered.Devoting herself to prayer and penance, Margaret eventually joined the Third Order of St. Francis and took a vow of poverty. She established a hospital for the poor and homeless at Cortona. On divine command, she challenged her own bishop for his lavish and warlike lifestyle. Canonized by Pope Benedict XIII in 1728, she became a patron saint of the downtrodden, including the falsely accused, homeless, orphaned, and mentally ill, as well as midwives, penitents, single mothers, reformed prostitutes, and third children.Letters on Art and LiteratureIn this collection of letters, Mauriacshares fascinating insights through correspondence with Albert Camus, Jean Cocteau, and other authors, artists, intellectuals, as well as the readers of his various articles and columns. The letters delve into a variety of topics—from the death of Georges Bernanos to the correspondence between Paul Claudel and Andre Gide, and the Routier youth movement.Proust’s Way The thinking and suffering of the author of Remembrance of Things Past are intimately exposed in these letters to Mauriac.

    Dismissals such as "boys will be boys" and "not all men" are ingrained in our world. And the purity culture of our youth sold the same excuses with a spiritual spin. Can we break the toxic cycle and recover a healthy identity for men? 
     
     
     
    In Non-Toxic Masculinity, Zachary Wagner tells men, "If you are in Christ, this is your problem—and you should be part of the solution." 
     
     
     
    Reflecting on his own coming of age in the purity culture movement and ongoing recovery from sexual shame, Wagner confronts harmful teaching from the American church that has distorted desire, sex, relationships, and responsibility. For those—both men and women—who feel disillusioned and adrift, this book offers a renewed vision for Christian male sexuality founded in empathy and selflessness.

    Frequently, when assigning labels to individuals or things, boundaries are inadvertently set, turning the label itself into a confining restriction. It's crucial for adults to choose their words carefully, as children absorb them swiftly. We each faced this issue when he was taunted by bullies who dubbed him "the kid with the broken brain. 
    I came to the realization that he had been approaching his challenges with the wrong set of questions. Instead of contemplating what to learn, he needed to find effective and enjoyable methods for learning. 
    In the realm of wisdom, gaining knowledge is akin to possessing extraordinary abilities. Our potential to learn is boundless; all that's required is proper guidance on accessing it. A specific mindset, motivation, and methodology can assist you in enhancing your cognitive abilities, enabling you to grasp any subject more swiftly and unlock a more exceptional life. 
    If you're not reaching your full potential in learning or living, and there's a disparity between your current and desired reality, it indicates a limitation that needs to be identified and replaced in your mindset (the what), your motivation (the why), or your approach (the how). 
    The four learning challenges often referred to as "supervillains" include digital deluge, digital distraction, digital dementia, and digital deduction. While these conditions are not directly caused by technology, it serves as an amplifier, magnifying their impact despite its numerous advantages.
