Heresy, Culture, and Religion in Early Modern Italy
Author: Ronald K. Delph
Publisher: Penn State Press
ISBN: 0271090790
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
Leading scholars from Italy and the United States offer a fresh and nuanced image of the religious reform movements on the Italian peninsula in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. United in their conviction that religious ideas can only be fully understood in relation to the particular social, cultural, and political contexts in which they develop, these scholars explore a wide range of protagonists from popes, bishops, and inquisitors to humanists and merchants, to artists, jewelers, and nuns. What emerges is a story of negotiations, mediations, compromises, and of shifting boundaries between heresy and orthodoxy. This book is essential reading for all students of the history of Christianity in early modern Europe.

Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
In, Naked. This is My StoryThis is Our Song, Dr. Masters has, with finesse and conviction, written a basic primer on personal storytelling. With her own mesmerizing story woven throughout, Dr. Masters successfully connects the real with the surreal. Naked is a story within a lesson and a lesson within a story. More than that Naked is lifelife bubbling over with success, tragedy, pain, renewal, failure, transformation, and redemption. It is a guttural look at what it means to be a human beingboth contemptible and beyond contempt. Naked is the true story of Leslie Masters, a 45 year old physician, single mother of three, soccer mom, cheer and gymnastics coach, cosmetic medicine expert, entrepreneur, small business owner, imperfect, spiritual human being.

Dr. Masters reaches deep within the wisdom of the ages and from Plato to Jesus, Buddha to Einstein and Sigmund Freud to Bill Wilson, Dr. Masters helps us transform teachings into right here, right now applications. What makes this book special is that it is wretched, raucous, raw and real. Dr. Masters shows with brutal honesty, courage and sophistication just what telling your story is all about. Leslie is bright, articulate, and funnyand what she becomes to the reader is a treasured intimate friend. Before the final page has been turned, Dr. Masters has become Lesliea flawed, broken, faulty, incomplete member of humanity. The result is a captivating work that is relevant, and even necessary, in the world that we all live in today. Fueled by the power of truth, this is a story that needs to be heard.

Book Description
ABOUT THE BOOK -- IN LOVE IN ITALY Italy. Three little syllabus. I-TA-LY. But this one word has meant so much to so many people for thousands of years. This little peninsula, sometimes blazing hot and sometimes freezing cold has captured the heart of so many people, perhaps even your own. If you have ever visited Italy you know it is a country that pulls at your heart and your imagination. This collection of short stories were ones I wrote the first year I was in Italy. I spent a year traveling throughout the country -- from the northern lakes to Tuscany, Veneto, Umbria to Rome and Sicily. The five stories take place in the towns and were inspired by the places I visited. I hope you will be inspired too, to go to Italy, to return to Italy or simply to remember to love life. The first story On Venices Shores is the mythical story of a woman, part God and part human, who has lived for thousands of years. Her love of life is endless. She is a part of the life force in us all, one that reinvents itself again and again in order to survive. The second story The Naked Madonna is about a vision seen by several children on the island of Guidecca. Palazzo on the Canal offers a glimpse of life in a Venetian Palazzo during the last days of World War II. In The English Pilot, a man is rescued by a family during the Second World War. And the last story, A Widows Story takes place in the beginning of the First World War. No matter what we have lived through, we have known the most precious gift of all -- Life. This book celebrates life and love.

Book Description
Limoncello is a yellow drink, traditional of the Italian Amalfi Coast. It is a cordial fragrant drink, sweet to the right point, spirited but not too much, it is extracted from lemons, brings people together and makes them happy. Limoncello has a dual function, it can be served with appetizers as an aperitif or a spritz, and it can be served straight as a digestive after-dinner drink. That's the reason Limoncello is a popular drink among party-goers. In this booklet, I give suggestions on how to turn all the lemons without the skin, used to make Limoncello, into different products for your daily beauty and for your daily house cleaning. The people who have tried my suggestions and my Limoncello are happy people.
