Böcker av Michael Higgins

Alongside twelve verbal snapshots of Anthony Trollope's Archdeacon Grantly and his fellow Barchester clergy, this book places twelve equally fictious modern counterparts. Human nature never changes. A fascinating and gripping read.

A fresh look at a complex pope with a simple agenda: radically reforming the Catholic Church. Jorge Mario Bergoglio is the consummate disruptor, disrupting archaic modes of church governance, disrupting our collective spiritual complacency in the face of new challenges to our human flourishing while at the same time remaining deeply faithful to the organic traditions of the church. He is the leader of the Roman Catholic Church, but beyond that he is a universal leader with commanding moral presence, able to connect with laypeople and with non-Christian faiths. Pope Francis is also a credible moral voice on issues of immigration, economic inequity, the devastating consequences of political populism, and the accelerating threats to the environment, in spite of the fact that he faces deep infrastructure and governance scandals in his organization. In his determination to reform the Vatican and ensure the Catholic faith evolves in a way that is relevant to the 21st century, Francis is very much carrying on the tradition of the Jesuits, an order known for their work in education, humanitarian missions, and social justice. A deep understanding of the Jesuit order informs Michael W. Higgins's approach in this novel reading of a papacy unlike any other.

This book is a personal testimony of the life of Michael Higgins, founder of Jesus Loves You Love Him Back feeding ministry, based in Orlando, Florida. It chronicles Higgins' life from three different perspectives-before he started using cocaine, to the 23 years he suffered under its soul-shredding spell (losing everything dear to him in the process), to that glorious moment when God miraculously delivered him from the bondage of drug addiction and many other vices that had consumed him. It also chronicles Jesus Loves You Love Him Back feeding ministry, which God entrusted to him after he was finally clean and sober. What began in 2009, with feeding 25 homeless folks in downtown Orlando, has since mushroomed into feeding 250,000 meals, spanning four countries so far...and counting...After receiving their 501c3 early in 2014, Jesus Loves You Love Him Back feeding ministry now feeds the homeless once a month in Jacksonville, Daytona Beach, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota and Miami Florida. They have also done feedings in Philadelphia, PA., New York City, New Orleans, LA. Nashville, TN. Chicago, IL., Las Vegas, NV, Los Angeles, CA., Cancun, Mexico, various locations in Brazil and the Philippines.

In Richard Allen Projects, a new generation of hustlers have set up shop on Warnock Street. Chico, Jason, and Shiz are seeing paper in these streets, but the dope game ain't sweet. In a hood where cops are foul and stick up kids make a living; it's not looking too good for the Warnock Crew. Warnock Uncut, is a master piece. Michael Higgins Jr, delivers outrageous comedy that will have you roaring with laughter, while brilliantly giving you the gritty back blocks of North Philadelphia.
