Book Description
After their broken engagement, there’s only one thing that can get unbeatable crime-solvers Julie West and Reverend James Burton back into action—the murder of a beloved friend. No one can figure out who would have a motive to kill Twila Belk, who was a saint by all accounts. Paying for a cruise to Antarctica for 48 of her “closest friends” was just one of many generous gifts she bestowed upon those around her. When the body of the benefactress is discovered on Brown Bluff Island, Julie and James must set their past aside to bring the killer to justice and along the way, perhaps, uncover a new beginning for themselves. Note: This is a previously published work. For readers who purchased the original edition, this second edition is not substantially different.

When psychologist Julie West responds to a call from “reformed” criminal Stefan Lauber, she doesn’t expect to find him murdered in Room 623 at the Cartledge Inn. Even more, she can’t understand why people are calling to reserve that particular room before the body even gets cold. She’s going to find out, though, even if it means working with the man she secretly loves to solve the mystery. And once Julie and Pastor James Burton are on the case, there’s no time to dwell on unrequited love. Not when there’s a murderer on the loose, odd detectives to work with...and more killings to come.

It’s organized into two full school years, with each saint’s story falling on or near his or her special day so that each story can be a springboard to a creative seasonal teaching unit or small festival.

Saints and Blesseds of the Americas
Author: Fr. Daniel P. Ewald
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1462840221
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Kirkus Discoveries book review: Part devotional guide, part encyclopedia, Saints and Blesseds of the Americas will find a welcome place on the shelves of a new generation of Catholics. Ewalds tidy collection provides an exhaustive, country-by-country listing of all the Catholic saints and blesseds of the Western world. In Catholic theology, saints serve as intercessors between humanity and God; blessedsthose who have undergone the process of beatificationare only one step away from becoming saints. Believers pray to either for aid in any number of life pursuits. Perhaps the most gratifying aspect of this catalogue is the fact that it is extremely up to date. Ewald provides not only the saints and blesseds of old but also those recently beatified and canonized. For example, he presents the Blessed Lindalva Justo de Oliveira, martyred in 1993 and beatified by Pope Benedict XVI just last year. This is a timely reference guide at least in part because the previous popeJohn Paul IIwas a prolific supporter of the path to sainthood. According to the Vatican, Pope John Paul II beatified and canonized more individuals than all the popes of the past five centuries combined. Thus, Ewald fulfills an important role in bringing his devout readership up to speed. But currentness is not the volumes only strength. Ewald paints quick but thorough sketches of his many subjects. His brief biographies never run much more than a page or two, but he has an eye for the fine points, and his portraits are always extremely pertinentthere are as few wasted details as there are wasted words. However, though his book serves best as a reference volume, it also provides a surprisingly gratifying reading experience. Ewald has the skill of a storyteller, and each biography features a neat narrative arc. A helpful compendium to the heroes of the American Catholic Church. Ewald, Fr. Daniel P.

Quiet Rebels
Author: Mary Jane Mossman
Publisher: Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press
ISBN: 1771125934
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
“It’s a girl!” the Ontario press announced, as Canada’s first woman lawyer was called to the Ontario bar in February 1897. Quiet Rebels explores experiences of exclusion among the few women lawyers for the next six decades, and how their experiences continue to shape gender issues in the contemporary legal profession. Mary Jane Mossman tells the stories of all 187 Ontario women lawyers called to the bar from 1897 to 1957, revealing the legal profession’s gendered patterns. Comprising a small handful of students—or even a single student—at the Law School, women were often ignored, and they faced discrimination in obtaining articling positions and legal employment. Most were Protestant, white, and middle-class, and a minority of Jewish, Catholic, Black, and immigrant women lawyers faced even greater challenges. The book also explores some changes, as well as continuities, for the much larger numbers of Ontario women lawyers in recent decades. This longitudinal study of women lawyers’ gendered experiences in the profession during six decades of social, economic, and political change in early twentieth-century Ontario identifies factors that created—or foreclosed on—women lawyers’ professional success. The book’s final section explores how some current women lawyers, despite their increased numbers, must remain “quiet rebels” to succeed.
