Book Description
It’s been fifty years since Antonio Grasso married Maddalena and brought her to America. That was the last time she saw her parents, her sisters and brothers—everything she knew and loved in the village of Santa Cecilia, Italy. Maddalena sees no need to open the door to the past and let the emotional baggage and unmended rifts of another life spill out. But Prima was raised on the lore of the Old Country. And as she sees her parents aging, she hatches the idea to take the entire family back to Italy—hoping to reunite Maddalena with her estranged sister and let her parents see their homeland one last time. It is an idea that threatens to tear the Grasso family apart, until fate deals them some unwelcome surprises, and their trip home becomes a necessary journey. All This Talk of Love is an incandescent novel about sacrifice and hope, loss and love, myth and memory.

Inspired Talks
Author: Swami Vivekananda
Publisher: Sri Ramakrishna Math
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 141
Book Description
This is a faithful record of a series of talks given by Swami Vivekananda to a group of his intimate friends and disciples who gathered around him at a quite out-of- the-way cottage in Thousand Island Park on the St. Lawrence river. These talks, not being regular lectures, were taken in long hand and safely preserved by a loving lady disciple, Miss S. E. Waldo. Those inspiring words were first brought out as a book in 1908 by Swami Ramakrishnananda to bring comfort and solace to all souls.The language is simple and concise, appealing straight to the heart and the intellect as well. Swami Vivekananda, known to many as a thundering orator and a convincing debator, is seen here like a peaceful Vedic rishi sitting in the midst of a few ardent souls, mildly disseminating the message of peace and bliss and uttering words of profoundest wisdom.Apart from an introductory narrative by Miss S. E. Waldo, this book also contains prefaces written by Swami Ramakrishnananda and Sister Devamata.

Book Description
This book is very humorous, and it gets straight to the point. It could leave you with tears falling from your eyes or make you very angry. My mama was my heart and my soul. She taught me everything I know. I am the man I am because of her. She was my backbone. She was there for me through hard times and good times. What can I say? Words do not explain the things I feel about my mama. She stood by my side when no one else would. She was truly, truly a mother.

Justice and Love
Author: Mary Zournazi
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1350090387
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
How do we see and act justly in the world? In what ways can we ethically respond to social and economic crisis? How do we address the desperation that exists in the new forms of violence and atrocity? These are all questions at the heart of Justice and Love, a philosophical dialogue on how to imagine and act in a more just world by theologian Rowan Williams and philosopher Mary Zournazi. Looking at different religious and philosophical traditions, Williams and Zournazi argue for the re-invigoration and enriching of the language of justice and, by situating justice alongside other virtues, they extend our everyday vocabularies on what is just. Drawing on examples ranging from the Paris Attacks, the Syrian War, and the European Migrant Crisis to Brexit and the US Presidential elections, Williams and Zournazi reflect on justice as a process: a condition of being, a responsiveness to others, rather than a cold distribution of fact. By doing so, they explore the love and patience needed for social healing and the imagination required for new ways of relating and experiencing the world.
