Mother Teresa's Secret Fire: The Encounter That Changed Her Life and How It Can Transform Your Own
This is the book that Mother Teresa wanted written "I waited in silence for an answer. Mother looked up and said, yes it is true. Then after a pause, she added, And one day you must tell the others...."-- Author Joseph Langford, co-founder of Mother Teresa's priests community. Thirty years after her Nobel Peace Prize, five years since her beatification, and one year since the media-generated controversy regarding her dark night, Mother Teresa's message was never more important than it is today. She continues to be a worldwide icon for Christians and non-Christians alike who long for something larger than our daily routines, something more meaningful and sustaining than anything money, fame or power can buy. She is a symbol of the nobility of the human spirit and every person's capacity to do extraordinary things. At age 38, Mother Teresa broke out of her safe and reliable routine as a grade school teacher. With only 5 rupees to her name, she began going daily into the slums of Calcutta. By the time of her death in 1997, her Missionaries of Charity had spread to more than 120 countries and touched millions of lives. What was it that caused this transformation? What special qualities did she have that moved her into action? How do we account for her universal impact from such extreme, humble conditions? What was it in her that touched so many so deeply? Mother Teresa's Secret Fire provides the answers and what they mean for you. With the help of her trusted friend and the co-founder of her missionaries of Charity Priests' community, walk in the footsteps of Mother Teresa to understand the depths of her spirituality. This is the message she asked Joseph Langford to share with the world. Let her message guide you to the most neglected realms of your own spirit. Discover the inspiration, insight and instruction to transform your everyday life in the same way Mother Teresa transformed hers. "Father Joseph Langford has given the world a book that goes to the core of Mother Teresa's Christian soul with relevance for peoples of all religions." -- Rev. John J. Keane, S.A., Ecumenical Officer for Friars of the Atonement "This is the book on Mother Teresa we have been waiting for. An outstanding achievement." -Paul Murray, O.P. , Internationally renowned author, preacher, and professor of Spirituality "In Secret Fire, Father Joseph Langford sets the record straight on her dark night." - Monica Yehle, Editor, MISSION, Pontifical Mission Societies in the United States "The beauty of her example and life surrendered to the will of God is an inspiration." - Cardinal Sean Patrick O'Malley, Archdiocese of Boston.

The Ten-Cent Plague: The Great Comic-Book Scare and How It Changed America
In the years between World War II and the emergence of television as a mass medium, American popular culture as we know it was first created—in the pulpy, boldly illustrated pages of comic books. No sooner had this new culture emerged than it was beaten down by church groups, community bluestockings, and a McCarthyish Congress—only to resurface with a crooked smile on its face in Mad magazine. The story of the rise and fall of those comic books has never been fully told—until The Ten-Cent Plague. David Hajdu’s remarkable new book vividly opens up the lost world of comic books, its creativity, irreverence, and suspicion of authority. When we picture the 1950s, we hear the sound of early rock and roll. The Ten-Cent Plague shows how—years before music—comics brought on a clash between children and their parents, between prewar and postwar standards. Created by outsiders from the tenements, garish, shameless, and often shocking, comics spoke to young people and provided the guardians of mainstream culture with a big target. Parents, teachers, and complicit kids burned comics in public bonfires. Cities passed laws to outlaw comics. Congress took action with televised hearings that nearly destroyed the careers of hundreds of artists and writers. The Ten-Cent Plague radically revises common notions of popular culture, the generation gap, and the divide between “high” and “low” art. As he did with the lives of Billy Strayhorn and Duke Ellington (in Lush Life) and Bob Dylan and his circle (in Positively 4th Street), Hajdu brings a place, a time, and a milieu unforgettably back to life. .

Misquoting Jesus: The Story Behind Who Changed the Bible and Why (Plus)
For almost 1,500 years, the New Testament manuscripts were copied by hand––and mistakes and intentional changes abound in the competing manuscript versions Religious and biblical scholar Bart Ehrman makes the provocative case that many of our widely held beliefs concerning the divinity of Jesus, the Trinity, and the divine origins of the Bible itself are the results of both intentional and accidental alterations by scribes. In this compelling and fascinating book, Ehrman shows where and why changes were made in our earliest surviving manuscripts, explaining for the first time how the many variations of our cherished biblical stories came to be, and why only certain versions of the stories qualify for publication in the Bibles we read today. Ehrman frames his account with personal reflections on how his study of the Greek manuscripts made him abandon his once ultra–conservative views of the Bible. .
