Like each volume in the complete EC, this book incorporates many enhancements of and additions to the third revised edition of the German Evangelisches Kirchenlexikon: Internationale theologische Enzyklopädie, on which the EC is based. Among the features of this English work are the following: articles on all but the smallest countries of the world, including former communist states that have gained their independence since 1989;the latest, best statistical information, compiled by David B. Barrett, on the religious affiliation and ecclesiastical breakdown of each country and continent;the addition of over seventy biographical articles on prominent figures throughout church history;many expanded or entirely new articles that address topics of particular interest to English-speaking readers.Unparalleled in scholarship and breadth of content, theEncyclopedia of Christianity will long serve as the standard reference work for the study of Christianity in the past and the present -- and its trajectory into the future.
"From the foreward by Cardinal Justin Rigali: Fr. Richard Boever has written a biography of St. John Neumann in the first person as if the saint were speaking to the reader. Fr. Boever's objective to focus on the humanity of St. John, rather than on his accomplishments, is achieved in a unique way. The direct quotations of St. John throughout the text provide a moving context for the experiences of his life rooted in a deep trust in God. This chronology of St. John Neumann's life includes the development of his deep faith from the early years until his death while bishop of Philadelphia. The reader is privileged to peer into his heart during his discernment of a priestly vocation and his perseverance in traveling across the Atlantic to the United States, where he was ordained. Saint John's letters to his family in Bohemia are both tender and stirring in describing the challenges and joys of serving in the developing Church in the United States. His life as missionary and bishop convey the holiness and humility that attracted so many souls to being disciples of Jesus Christ"--
Detroit was once known as Murder City. Although it still has its share of violence and crime, the Detroit of the 1970's was a war zone, with more than seven hundred homicides a year. In Murder City, police officers had to act more like the lawmen of the Old West. They had to be constantly ready for things to go south, quickly. Author and former Detroit Police Department officer A. W. Boudreau was in the thick of the violence. He survived, but not all of his coworkers were so lucky. Four times as many cops died in seventies-era Detroit as do today. After completing extensive police academy training, Boudreau graduated and joined the Seventh Precinct of the Detroit Police Department in 1970. The reminders that his job was a dangerous one were all around him. The widow of a fellow officer killed in action attended the graduation ceremony, leaving Boudreau with a haunting memory of her sorrow. He devoted his career to making the streets safer for the innocent victims of violence. Boudreau's memoir will give you a new perspective on the difficulties big-city cops face every day on the job.

Set on a farm in Tasmania, Creaky's Bend is a week in the life of two possums and a mouse, who call the farm shed home. Poppy the mouse has constructed a warm bed, nestled in the seat of a broken-down Chevrolet truck. Blue and Bell have built their dry home in a vintage blue stroller that hangs on the shed wall, right beside Poppy's truck. Together the three little animals eagerly watch the daily visitors to Nanny Joy, the spritely silver haired great grandmother, who is 80 years old and not slowing down one bit. Nanna's driveway is so very long, bending around Creaky the gum tree, past the cow paddock and up to the front door of her lovely old brick house. You can follow along with Poppy, Blue and Bell, and be guessing just who is coming around Creaky's Bend, and why they are visiting the farm. Little blue wrens are on the pages, waiting to be spotted. As the week comes to an end, it is time to guess who is arriving around the bend, and it isn't who we expect.
This book was written and illustrated by students who attended a Writer's Camp at Paluma Environmental Education Centre in October, 2021. The purpose of the camp was to expose children to the natural environment, creative writing and illustrating. The children experienced a variety of lived experiences in the rainforest in addition to, a treasure hunt, code breaking, story-telling and nature cycles. The aim was to encourage children to connect to their environment with their head, heart, and hands to inspire their creativity and imagination. The camp was hosted by two local Townsville authors; Matt B Lewis and Krissy Regan, who helped the children to take their own stories and to become published authors.
Queerly Ever After is a bold reimagining of classic fairy tales. Based on tales from the likes of Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm, Queerly Ever After takes us on a journey that explores plurisexuality, the fluidity of gender and identity, as well as the multiplicity of queerness. Join your favourite characters and experience their worlds, and lives, with a queer twist. "When I was young, I was taught happiness was defined by whether the princess finds a prince to marry by the end of her tale. In fact, her tales weren't really hers at all-princesses were nameless, voiceless characters who fulfilled a role and taught a moral.The fairy tales I read in my formative years left little room for grey areas and fluidity- genders were binary, gender roles were discrete, and sexuality was unexplored. As I matured and found more diverse stories, they still rarely engaged with the spaces between the binaries; I gradually learned that man-woman relationships were not the only option, but I was not exposed to the rainbow of alternatives until much later in life.Queerly Ever After is a collection of short stories written for the bisexual girl who grew up uncertain, without words to describe her identity. It's for the bisexual teenager who did not have stories in which to explore her sexuality. It's for me, years ago. And for the me who is yet to come." - Alayna Cole
