    Claire Moretti is the daughter of a mob boss, but has long since moved away from the family to work as a Catholic special education teacher and is about to become a nun. However, these plans unravel when her father is murdered and she must go home to confront the family, attend the funeral, and deal with her alcoholic mother. But the return home also brings up other elements of her past, the unwanted attentions of a psychotic ex-boyfriend, and a challenge to her core beliefs through a lustful attraction to one of her father's men. No longer able to insulate herself from these challenges, she faces the ultimate test. Will she achieve her dream to enter the convent, or will she succumb to the temptations of her father's world? And is she good enough for true love because of her tainted past? While this book has Christian themes, it is not a Pollyanna story. It contains sexual assault, intimate scenes, and some profanity. These elements will challenge readers of faith about whether they should isolate themselves from the world and those of differing beliefs, or if they can enter it and maintain their goodness.

    Today's unfortunate reality, for millions of people, is that work is simply a have-to-do that pays the bills and gets in the way of doing what they really care about. This results in people becoming disengaged and disconnected from their organizations and colleagues. But what if employees could be made to see the big picture, the connection between their own efforts, and the success of their organizations? What if people could be made to feel a sense of purpose at work and to thereby become committed, sincere, loyal, and happy participants in a team effort? Authors Maryann Baumgarten and Lisa Smith know that we all feel engaged when we care and connect to something larger than ourselves.

  • - A Shifting Story
    av Lisa Smith
    606,-

    Gathering the attention and excitement of American colonists from Boston to Charleston, the religious revival of the 1740s traditionally known as the First Great Awakening provided colonial newspaper printers with their first story of transcolonial importance. At the time of the Awakening, American newspapers had become a vital part of the colonial information network as each major city offered at least one weekly paper. Papers printed weekly reports on revivalist preaching, eye-witness accounts of revival meetings, shocking stories of improper ordinations and church separations, as well as numerous contributed letters praising or denouncing virtually every aspect of the Awakening. No other colonial event of the 1740s, including the War of the Austrian Succession (1740-1748) and the Jacobite Rebellion (1745), came close to receiving as much newspaper coverage, making the First Great Awakening America's first ';Big Story.'In The First Great Awakening in Colonial American Newspapers: A Shifting Story, Lisa Smith offers the first scholarly work to examine in detail the printed newspaper record of the revival. This comprehensive, in-depth examination of colonial newspapers over a ten-year period uncovers information on shifts in the presentation of the revival over time, specific differences in regional reporting, and significant transformations in the newspaper personae of popular revivalists such as George Whitefield and Gilbert Tennent. Using original newspaper excerpts and graphs revealing reporting trends, this book presents an engaging, detailed picture of how colonial newspaper printers covered the experience of the First Great Awakening.
