Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, the oldest daughter of Robert Kennedy
and the niece of John F. Kennedy, was born and raised a devout
Catholic, who has come to feel that her church, and much of
contemporary American Christianity, is failing its members. This
book is a spiritual call to arms, an assault on the way American
churches today involve themselves more in prescribing personal
behavior, rather than working for the greater good of the
community. The author recounts her own traditional Catholic
upbringing, and the role of faith in the lives of her father and
uncle, who were inspired by their religious beliefs to help build a
just society. She gives examples of inspiring figures of the
present and past, like Martin Luther King, Jr., her father, Robert
Kennedy, and Rick Warren among others, whose spiritual values led
them to devote themselves to helping others. She tells of her own
spiritual crisis, as she witnessed the nurturing Catholic church of
her childhood become increasingly alienated from the real concerns
of its congregants.And finally, she offers a message of hope,
showing how Americans today can reclaim their religious traditions
and use them to transform their lives and our churches

Remembering Mama God's Faithful Servant Rene, Let's use this. The
story chronicles the tribulations and triumphs of one of God's
children. Mama was raised in a Christian home where the Bible was
the centerpiece of ever word or deed. She had to follow God's Word;
no deviation was allowed. The Bible was and still is her path to
Heaven. Don't try telling her that Heaven and Hell are right here
on Earth. Don't try telling her that events in the Bible were
copied from historical occurrences and then written as gospel.
Don't try debating God's Word. You will lose. For someone who never
went passed the eight grade, Mama can hold her own when it comes to
reading and understanding the Word of God. Mama raised her children
to believe in God, to live each day to the fullest, and to praise
and worship God. She reads her Bible for several hours a day. Her
life is governed by God's commandments: Love the Lord thy God with
all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all your mind, and
love thy neighbor as thyself. Mama strongly believes that Christ
died for our sins and that he rose again so we can go to Heaven one
day. Mama never went against God's Word and while other women were
fleeing from one miserable relationship to the other, Mother stayed
in hers. Even when she was mentally and physically abused, leaving
Papa was not even considered. She used to say, "I marry your father
for better for worse...and 'til death do us part. Divorcing him is
not an option." Death separated them and she had nothing bad to say
about her husband. Mama is very happy now. She keeps telling her
children, "When my Father calls me, I am ready. I lived a good
life. I have no regrets." Mama is truly God's faithful servant.
Kennedy's unique study explores the arrests, trials, and
defenses of women charged under the Wartime Emergency Laws passed
soon after the U.S. entered WWI. These trials became important
arenas in which women's relationships and obligations to national
security were contested and defined.
