The Second Vatican Council (‘Vatican II’:1962-65) sought to
bring Church tradition into the present and to provide a renewal
for our time of all that is Catholic. Sixty years later, many of
the insights which were enthusiastically supported at the time have
still not been fully implemented and there are elements within the
Church’s hierarchy today whose preference is to return to the
more rigid and doctrinaire approach to religion which was in
evidence prior to the Council. This becomes apparent by the way in
which official teachings and practices frequently continue to be
presented and is one of the principal reasons to explain the
ongoing level of defections from within the Church and our negative
rating in society at large. The aim of the book is to provide a
brief summary of the contribution of Church Councils over the
centuries in the development of Christian teachings and practices
and the particular contribution of Vatican II in expanding our
understanding of the nature and purpose of the Church. Secondly, it
is an attempt to portray God and the import of the incarnation of
Jesus with the benefit of modern scholarship and using a language
which reflects the currents of modern thought.

This is the story of Brighton's first season in the Premier League,
but not from a purely footballing perspective. `Away' captures the
6700 mile journey that myself and my 17 year old son Jacob embarked
on to attend all 19 away fixtures. Family fall outs, pre-nuptial
agreements, standing and singing like the old days, teenage angst,
the free counselling of radio phone in's, the relationship between
Father and Son and of course the eternal question, will we stay up?
`Away' also opens up the Pandora's Box of footballs biggest kept
secret - supporting 2 teams. Are you a football fan? Are you a true
football fan? Having a team isn't enough.... Do you feel physical
gut wrenching pain when your team loses? Does a last minute winning
goal render you incapable of controlling body and mind as you
spiral into an ecstasy normally only reserved for carnal pleasure
or substance abuse? Do you go AWAY...?
A new collection of art by Kevin Clark, spanning the years
2010-2012, in the pin-up/cheesecake, fantasy and erotic genres.
People of God is a brand new series of inspiring biographies for
the general reader. Each volume offers a compelling and honest
narrative of the life of an important twentieth or twenty-first
century Catholic. Some living and some now deceased, each of these
women and men have known challenges and weaknesses familiar to most
of us, but responded to them in ways that call us to our own forms
of heroism. Each of them offers a credible and concrete witness of
faith, hope, and love to people of our own day.
With the cause for his beatification reportedly moving along
rapidly now at the Vatican, this biography of a people's saint
traces the events leading up to the assassination of Archbishop
Oscar Romero at a chapel altar in San Salvador and the
reverberations of that day in El Salvador and beyond. This in-depth
look at Archbishop Romero, the pastor-defender of the poor and
great witness of the faith, offers a prism through which to view a
Catholic understanding of liberation and how to be a church of the
poor, for the poor, as Pope Francis calls us to be.
A story based on the real experiences of a girl who couldn t
read. What is school like for Jenny and other children like her,
and can she be helped? Read the heartwarming story of Jenny and her
battle with dyslexia.
This project started when Demi said to me, There s one thing I
would love to be able to do, but I know it will never happen in my
whole life, and that is to write a book. I told her about writers
who have lots of brilliant ideas but need a secretary to do the
writing. I volunteered, and Jenny Can t Read was born.
It is the story of a ten-year-old girl who is dyslexic and can t
read. The first part of the book deals with a number of related
issues, all based on true stories that Demi and other children have
told me. These include the following:
*Thinking there is something wrong with you. You are stupid.
*Dreading certain lessons and pretending to be sick.
*Having an unsympathetic teacher.
*Being bullied.
*Worrying a lot and feeling ashamed.
*Hating school.
In the second half of the book, she gets help and improves
greatly. Issues include the following: *Getting help
*Understanding dyslexia and how to improve *The effect of a
brilliant teacher
*Dealing with bullying
*Improving self-esteem and confidence
This book will offer hope and encouragement to all children who
are struggling to acquire reading and writing skills and to the
teachers and parents who work with them. I strongly recommend that
you read Jenny s story.
