Par sa pédagogie exceptionnelle, le Logis méritait qu'on lui consacre un livre. Le Logis, c'est d'abord l'aventure d'un foyer pour adolescents fondé en 1955 dans la région d'Annecy. L'auteure fut pensionnaire de 1980 à 1986, après des histoires de fugue et d'errance, qui l'ont conduit à 15 ans, de l'hôpital psychiatrique au Logis. Elle présente le projet éducatif, analyse les rouages institutionnels, décortique le travail des éducateurs dans la reconstruction difficile des pensionnaires au travers des multiples activités de formation ou de loisirs. Elle nous fait découvrir cet incroyable groupe des Snyüles, groupe folklorique qui parcourt l'Europe comme ambassadeurs de la Savoie ou l'accueil des artistes dans le foyer de Léo Ferré à Jacques Higelin, du ballet national de Monte-Carlo au théâtre de la Criée avec Marcel Maréchal... Enfin, elle donne la parole à celles et ceux qui y ont vécu durant cette période: ex-pensionnaires, éducateurs, bénévoles, musiciens et artistes, afin de mieux nous faire comprendre ce qui faisait l'âme du Logis.Ce livre raconte une histoire humaine et une somme d'engagements hors-norme, mis au service de jeunes en situation de rupture familiale ou en danger. Les 44 témoignages et interviews recueillis par l'auteure sont autant de points de vue sur Le Logis. Nous pouvons ainsi mesurer qu'au-delà de la souffrance à vivre leur placement éducatif, les garçons et les filles ont bénéficié d'une prise en charge et d'une attention remarquables, tout en vivant des moments douloureux, mais aussi, souvent extraordinaires. Ce récit porte un regard de l'intérieur sur cette expérience-choc, portée par la volonté de son directeur pendant plus de 30 ans, Pierre Lavy et par l'engagement de son équipe éducative dans une lutte acharnée pour que les jeunes du Logis puissent se reconstruire et se réinsérer dans cette société des années 80.Préface de Maurice Cusson, criminologue et sociologue, professeur émérite à l'Université de Montréal. Il est l'auteur de nombreux ouvrages dont le dernier est paru en 2015, sous le titre Les Homicides. Criminologie historique de la violence et de la non-violence paru aux Éditions Hurtubise HMH. Il a été récompensé par le prestigieux prix Beaumont-Tocqueville de l'Association internationale des criminologues de langue française (AICLF) en 2010 pour l'ensemble de sa carrière.

Magnus spanked her hard, each time bringing his hand down more firmly. The loud smacks caused Bec to tense her body until it was rigid, but she did not cry out, nor did she squirm or try to avoid the blows. Caristia looked at Bec's taut body and listened to the regular rhythm of Magnus's spanking hand. She leant back against the wall - almost hidden by the shadows - and allowed her fingers to drift... A beautiful, flaxen-haired Saxon girl, captured and enslaved, is bound to cause a stir in Pompeii. And once she arrives at the house of Rufo the slave dealer and comes under the sexual discipline of Magnus, his trainer, Caristia has no choice but to experience every aspect of their brutal world - a world that demands from her complete sexual submission.

A lost treasure for large segments of the modern world, the book of Deuteronomy powerfully repays contemporary readers' attention. Part of the Reading the Old Testament series. The book of Deuteronomy represents Scripture pulsing with immediacy, offering gripping discourses that yank readers out of the doldrums and back to Mount Horeb and an encounter with divine Word issuing forth from blazing fire. God's presence and Word in Deuteronomy stir deep longing for God and move readers to a place of intimacy with divine otherness, holism, and will for person-centered community. The consistently theological interpretation reveals the centrality of Deuteronomy for faith and powerfully counters critical accusations about violence, intolerance, and polytheism in the book.Stephen L. Cook serves as the Catherine N. McBurney Professor of Old Testament Language and Literature at Virginia Theological Seminary. He did his doctoral training in Old Testament at Yale after having earned the M.Div. degree at Yale's Divinity School. Stephen has served in several capacities as an officer of the Society of Biblical Literature and is currently chair of the executive committee, the Catholic Biblical Association, Baltimore-Washington Region.Praise for Reading Deuternomy"Stephen Cook's theological commentary puts Deuteronomy's compelling reinterpretation of an earlier minority tradition in ancient Israel in lively dialogue with other like-minded representatives of this 'outsider' stream of tradition within the Old Testament (Hosea, Micah, Jeremiah, Malachi, the Elohist, Psalms of Asaph, Joshua-2 Kings). All this is done in service to Cook's overall aim to bring out the 'vibrant liveliness and pressing relevance' of Deuteronomy as a resource for constructive theological formation for contemporary people of faith today. An insightful and accessible study of the theology and ethics of Deuteronomy." -Dennis Olson, Charles T. Haley Professor of Old Testament Theology Chair, Biblical Studies Department, Princeton Theological Seminary"Stephen Cook's commentary on Deuteronomy captures the reforming spirit of this biblical book. With his own fresh and dynamic voice, Cook unleashes the forceful, commanding voice of Deuteronomy. Read in light of Cook's long and deep scholarship, Deuteronomy emerges as a powerful source for theological reflection for the church today. Most highly recommended for courses in seminaries, divinity schools, and programs in theology." -Mark S. Smith, Skirball Professor of Bible and Ancient Near Eastern Studies, New York University"Stephen L. Cook provides an accessible yet profound theological commentary on the theologically rich book of Deuteronomy. Often thought-provoking and always insightful, Cook's contribution illumines the ancient biblical text so modern readers, particularly lay and clergy, can come to a deeper understanding not only of the book itself but also of the God who reveals himself through it." -Tremper Longman III, Robert H. Gundry Professor of Biblical Studies, Westmont College

An extraordinary story of courage, forgiveness and reconciliation. Sabina Wolanski was just 12 years old when her home town in Poland was invaded by Nazis. In her diary, along with innocent adolescent longings, she recorded what happened next: the humiliations and terrors, the murder of her beloved family and the startling story of her own survival. Leaving Europe after the war, Sabina forged a new life in Australia, juggling a thriving design business, her family, and an unorthodox love life. But as time wore on, she began asking herself why had she survived when so many died? And what kind of justice fitted such crimes? In May 2005, when Germany opened its controversial Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, in Berlin, Sabina was chosen to speak as the voice of the six million dead. In her speech she noted that although the Holocaust had taken everything she valued, it had also taught her that hatred and discrimination are doomed to fail. Her ability to survive, to love, and to live well, has been her greatest triumph. 'I couldn't put down this engaging, honest story of love, loss and survival.' Diane Armstrong, bestselling author of tHE VOYAGER OF tHEIR LIFE 'important and wonderfully written' Australian Literary Review

Complete and unabridged. Completely re-typeset in nice, readable type by Kingsley Press. This autobiography of Gipsy Smith (1860-1947) tells the fascinating story of how God's amazing grace reached down into the life of a poor, uneducated gipsy boy and sent him singing and preaching all over Britain and America until he became a household name in many parts and influenced the lives of millions for Christ. He was born and raised in a gipsy tent to parents who made a living selling baskets, tinware and clothes pegs. His father was in and out of jail for various offences, but was gloriously converted during an evangelistic meeting. His mother died when he was only five years old.Converted at the age of sixteen, Gipsy taught himself to read and write and began to practice preaching. His beautiful singing voice earned him the nickname "the singing gipsy boy," as he sang hymns to the people he met. At age seventeen he became an evangelist with the Christian Mission (which became the Salvation Army) and began to attract large crowds. Leaving the Salvation Army in 1882, he became an itinerant evangelist working with a variety of organizations. It is said that he never had a meeting without conversions. He was a born orator. One of the Boston papers described him as "the greatest of his kind on earth, a spiritual phenomenon, an intellectual prodigy and a musical and oratorical paragon." His autobiography is full of anedotes and stories from his preaching experiences in many different places. It's a book you won't want to put down until you're finished!
