How the love of truth led a young man from Franklin County, Tennessee through twelve states, three provinces, and two spiritual battles. Gaston Collins came from a time and place shaped by the pioneer spirit of David Crockett and the Godly spirit of David Lipscomb. The greatest influence on his life, though, was the Word of God. He wanted to know it, to live it, and to share it with as many as possible. Many old, family photographs are included in the print editions and some are not of publishing quality. They are included, however, in the belief that a low-resolution picture is better than no picture. Most of the appendices are writings of E. Gaston Collins, including a 24 page booklet published in 1924.

Mothers of Canadian citizens must do what they can do to use the rights and responsibilities they have here in Canada to raise good citizens. We do what we can as mothers for peace to bring "Unity and Reconciliation in Canada." Through Mothers for Peace we use our three P's: Prayer, Passion and Patience to bring forth the Canadian Ideals. We do what we do because it is our destiny, as mothers, friends, sisters, mates and Canadians. Ordinary Attributes of my teen experiences granted my soul divine protection, so my love to the Divine became the power of energy in my life. The challenges in life changed the outside world but at the same time designed the inner power of my soul to do what I can to make a better world for every-body.

Is now the time for an American parish priest to be declared a Catholic saint?

Born and raised in a Connecticut factory town, the son of Irish immigrants, Father Michael McGivney's (1852-1890) legacy of hope is still celebrated around the world. At a time when discrimination against American Catholics, homelessness, and starvation were widespread, Father McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus, an organization that has helped save countless families from the indignity of destitution.

In this moving and inspirational work, Douglas Brinkley, the "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Great Deluge" and "The Boys of Pointe du Hoc," and award-winning author Julie M. Fenster re-create the all-too-brief life of perhaps the most beloved parish priest in U.S. history and chronicle the process of canonization that may well make this fiercely dynamic yet tenderhearted man the first American-born priest to be declared a saint by the Vatican.

"I tall people I have one aunty. Name jill she raised me when I little boy. She loves me so much. I am not forget her. Everytime I remember her love and care."
David Das from "Home of Joy"

"Jill's story has reconfirmed a long-held personal belief-that missionaries aren't 'normal.' They are ordinary people who have allowed God to set their heart on fire with a passion for the lost and needy. They are willing to endure personal pain and hardship for the sake of their mission, and even if they return from the mission field, a part of their heart will never return with them. Jill's openness in sharing all the ups and downs of her missionary journey will make this book a valuable resource for anyone who feels called to cross-cultural ministry, and it will also be a source of inspiration to all of us who long to reach our world with the love of Jesus Christ."
-Pastor Monte LeLaCheur,

This journey with Christ is certainly an adventure. God gave me a love for His people in Bangladesh, not unlike the love he has for us-relentless. The Lord led me in and out of Bangladesh, each time under dramatic circumstances. Over a period of years, I was blessed to be a part of starting three medical clinics, while living at two different orphanages, taking care of hundreds of children who called me Auntie or Amma. God gave His love to them through my willing heart. I had prayed that God would "break my heart with the things that break the heart of God." That prayer was answered in ways that were never expected.

Millions of people all over the world survived the Great Depression. Millions more lived through World War II. Nowhere near as many faced the end of the war as a twenty-year old high school dropout, emotionally hurting, not knowing what to do, or where to turn for help. This is what it was like to be on the scrap heap of life, and rescued.
