  Jesus, I Surrender Myself to You is both a moving spiritual biography and a profound witness to the transforming power of surrender to God’s will. Drawing from the living memory of Don Dolindo Ruotolo through the testimony of his devoted niece Grazia, alongside the careful research of Luciano Regolo, this work reveals the hidden sanctity of a priest whose life became a continual offering to Christ.  
  From a childhood marked by poverty, suffering, and misunderstanding to years of ecclesial persecution endured in silence, Don Dolindo’s life was forged through obedience, humility, and radical trust in Divine Providence. Though burdened with immense trials, he developed an astonishing intimacy with Christ, becoming a spiritual father whose simple prayer of surrender continues to bring peace and consolation to countless souls around the world.  
  Interwoven with firsthand accounts, Marian devotion, Eucharistic spirituality, and extraordinary graces, this book offers readers not merely the story of a mystic, but a practical path toward holiness. Don Dolindo demonstrates that true sanctity is not found in comfort or recognition, but in abandoning oneself completely into the loving hands of God.

  What if the key to unlocking your potential and achieving your most ambitious goals lies in mastering one single skill? That skill is willpower—a resource that drives discipline, focus, and the ability to resist distractions. 
  What Is Willpower? 
  Willpower is like a muscle—it gets tired when overused, but it can also be trained and strengthened over time. It’s the driving force behind saying “no” to temptations, “yes” to healthy choices, and staying on track even when the path gets tough. The problem? It’s a finite resource. Every decision you make chips away at your willpower reserves, making it essential to learn how to protect and replenish this vital strength. 
  Why Does It Matter? 
  From overcoming procrastination to managing finances, willpower is at the heart of many challenges we face daily. Lack of self-control can lead to missed opportunities, unhealthy habits, and unfulfilled potential. But here’s the good news: research shows that willpower isn’t fixed. It can be nurtured, expanded, and wielded more effectively through simple, actionable strategies.

  One of the greatest marathon runners of all time, Tom Longboat was one of the best-known athletes of the western world in the early 20th century.
  		 
  Longboat was an astonishing long-distance runner who grew up on the Six Nations reserve near Brantford, Ontario.
  		 
  He won the Boston Marathon in record time, 2:24.24, almost five minutes faster than the 10 previous winners.
  		 
  Longboat then raced in the Olympic Marathon in 1908, but he collapsed on the course amid rumours that his manager had drugged him with strychnine.
  		 
  At a rematch the following year in New York City, Longboat won the race handily, beating his nearest competitor.
  		 
  In 1916, Longboat enlisted in the Canadian Armed Forces and worked as a dispatch carrier for the 107th Pioneer Battalion in France.
  		 
  He was left for dead on the battlefield, but somehow survived and returned to Canada only to discover that his wife, Lauretta, thinking he was dead, had remarried.
  		 
  Longboat’s independent spirit and passion for running carried him through the many difficulties he faced as an Aboriginal person.
  		 
  His enduring legacy has been honoured with the Tom Longboat Awards, established in 1951 to celebrate outstanding First Nations athletes in Canada.
  		 
  He is a member of the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame and the Indian Hall of Fame.

  Sussex Writers in their...

  'Theirs was a pre-urban world in the glow of its last sunset, without a care or doubt, in which it seemed as if nothing could ever come to harm. Here was their version of that ideal world that has haunted the dreamer, rebel and pastoral poet for centuries.'
  Between 1850 and 1939 such well-known writers as Rudyard Kipling, Virginia Woolf and Richard Jefferies came to Sussex, a county already home to the likes of Wilfrid Blunt, Hilaire Belloc and others. The result was an explosion of literary creativity which rejected modernity and the London scene, and instead developed writing imbued with a sense of nature and landscape.
  In this, his last book, Peter Brandon (1927–2011) has drawn on his vast knowledge of the Sussex landscape to show how such writers, seeking a foil to London, were inspired by their surroundings and found peace and a tranquillity which existed in few other places.
