Fifty years ago, beloved teacher Sister Catherine Cesnik was the victim of a violent murder that still remains unsolved. "Who killed Sister Cathy?" is a question Sister Cathy's students, colleagues, friends, family members, and community have been asking for years. One of those people is Gemma Hoskins, one of Sister Cathy's former students who appeared on The Keepers, the 2017 Emmy-nominated Netflix docuseries that soon had the rest of the world asking that same question, too. Sister Cathy's life and death have both deeply inspired and haunted Gemma in a number of ways, and she's made it her life's purpose to uncover what really happened on that November night in 1969. In Keeping On, Gemma takes readers on a journey of her life, from her childhood and her time as Sister Cathy's student at Archbishop Keough High School through present day. She reflects upon the experiences that have shaped her, including her own experiences as a teacher, grassroots investigator, and fierce advocate for truth and justice. With candid prose and unyielding honesty, Gemma openly and honestly continues not only the global conversation about the truth behind Sister Cathy's murder, but also reflects upon how Sister Cathy's life profoundly touched those who knew and loved her.

Pages : 332
Book Description
Two years into the all-girl Archbishop Keough High School, I became a naked plaything for a powerful priest who was a counselor there, Father A. Joseph Maskell. This brand-new state-of-the-art school was comprised of 1200 young students who had competed for the honor of being there. I was one of the lucky few accepted into this school. Little did I know then about the dark monster there whose immense power provided him easy access to the girls he considered ripe for the taking. My memoir speaks about how I survived the rampant sex ring at Keough which led to a nun being murdered because she tried to stop the abuse. I am an attorney who was featured in the Emmy nominated docuseries, The Keepers, which aired on Netflix on May 19, 2017, in 175 countries in 25 languages. This production changed my life and made me a celebrity to its many viewers from around the globe. People continue to watch The Keepers which is still promoted as one of the best true crime shows on Netflix. Viewers reach out to me for guidance and to share their stories of abuse on a daily basis. Safe in Socks is my story. I'm not an easy person to understand. Trust is difficult for me. Life as I knew it crumbled and fell into pieces after a trusted priest and his friends sexually abused me in all sorts of perverted ways. I built walls to protect myself and rarely allowed anyone into what I call my inner sanctum, my inner-most self. Slowly, I became able to gather the pieces of my shattered life and reassemble them to survive.... then thrive. This memoir unfolds my journey starting with my carefree childhood, through teenage insanity, growing into adulthood, and finally realizing my dream of becoming an attorney.

Introduction to the Spiritual Life
Author: Brant Pitre

ISBN: 0525572767
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
A compelling exploration of the biblical foundations, contemplative practices, and spiritual path of Jesus himself—from the bestselling author of The Case for Jesus “What happens when a biblical theologian explores classic spirituality? This book. Pitre’s students have asked, Why have we never heard this before? The reader wonders the same.”—Dr. David Fagerberg, author of Liturgical Mysticism The path of following Jesus is an ancient and storied spiritual tradition. Yet many believers are not familiar with the three major forms of prayer and the three stages of spiritual growth that exist to bring them closer to God. In his most personal book yet, Brant Pitre, PhD, draws on the riches of the Bible, the words of Jesus, and the writings of mystics across the centuries to shed light on the mystery—and wonder—of the spiritual life. Starting with the age-old belief that the path of prayer is not only informative but transformative, Dr. Pitre explores • the scriptural roots of the major forms of prayer: vocal prayer, meditation, and contemplation • the purgative, illuminative, and unitive stages of spiritual growth • the spiritual exercises of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving • the Jewish roots of the Lord’s Prayer • Lectio Divina: how to pray with the Bible • seven vices and their seven opposing virtues • the battle of prayer: how to deal with difficulty and distractions • the “dark night of the soul” in the Scriptures Full of sacred truths, contemplative insights, and practical steps, Introduction to the Spiritual Life is a biblical road map of the spiritual landscape that enables us to follow Jesus as our primary guide.
