Summary:

Adam Gordon is a brilliant, if highly unreliable, young American poet on a prestigious fellowship in Madrid, struggling to establish his sense of self and his relationship to art. Instead of following the dictates of his fellowship, Adam's 'research' becomes a meditation on the possibility of the genuine in the arts and beyond: are his relationships with the people he meets in Spain as fraudulent as he fears his poems are? Is poetry an essential art form, or merely a screen for the reader's projections? A witness to the 2004 Madrid train bombings and their aftermath, does he participate in historic events or merely watch them pass him by?

Summary:

Jon Reiner was happily married with two children, living on Manhattan's Upper West Side, when a near-fatal medical crisis that resulted in emergency surgery threatened to take his life. He was sentenced to months of intravenous feeding that required him to abstain from eating anything, in order to give his digestive tract a rest. The medical commandment 'nothing by mouth' came to represent not only the prolonged food deprivation that would have a radical impact on Jon's relationship with food, but the intense and enduring effect it would have both on his emotional state, and his relationships with family and friends. Jon's vulnerability during this profoundly difficult time altered these relationships, but the amazing support he received deepened his understanding love, friendship, and community.

Title: Can Intervention Work?

Author: Rory Stewart

Narrator: James Langton

Format: Unabridged

Length: 07:19:00

Language: English

Release date: 08-30-11

Publisher: Dreamscape Media, LLC

Genres: History, Global Politics

Summary:

Rory Stewart and Gerald Knaus distill their remarkable firsthand experiences of political and military interventions into a potent examination of what we can and cannot achieve in a new era of 'nation building.' As they delve into the massive, military-driven efforts in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Balkans, the expansion of the EU, and the bloodless 'color' revolutions in the former Soviet states, they reveal each effort's consequences for international relations, human rights, and our understanding of state building. Stewart and Knaus parse carefully the philosophies that have informed interventionism and draw on their experiences in the military, nongovernmental organizations, and the Iraqi provincial government to reveal what we can ultimately expect from large-scale interventions, and how they might best realize positive change in the world.

Title: Thomas Merton: A Spiritual Guide for the Twenty-First Century

Author: Anthony J. Ciorra

Narrator: Anthony J. Ciorra

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:13:57

Language: English

Release date: 08-18-11

Publisher: Learn25

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Counseling & Inspirational

Summary:

This is a course about Thomas Merton and you.

You will explore Thomas Merton's remarkable life and works while actively developing a relationship with him. For many, Merton has become a lifelong mentor and spiritual guide, and he will bring you to new places with the questions he raises and the experiences he shares. Whoever you are and wherever you come from, Thomas Merton will speak to you.

Your guide, Fr. Anthony Ciorra, is one of those very rare professors who will delight and inspire you. Given the pontifical honor Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice by Pope John Paul II and author of Everyday Mysticism, Fr. Ciorra is a remarkable teacher. Through these 12 lectures, Fr. Ciorra will help you understand the extraordinary life and works of Thomas Merton.

Merton's path to conversion was complex, and he struggled with questions regarding God's existence, moral values, and the place of organized religion. He pioneered religious dialogue with the East, and his experiences of prayer led him to a contemplative openness and issues of social justice.

As you study Merton in this course, you will be invited to use many of the same tools Merton used to aid in his spiritual growth: journaling, poetry, letter-writing, photography, and art. These tools will help you enter more deeply into your own experience with the mystery of God.

You will be challenged, inspired, and offered the opportunity to grow and change as you come to know Merton in this course. You will not be disappointed.

Release date: 08-11-11

Publisher: Learn25

Genres: Religion & Spirituality, Christianity

Summary:

You are called to 'go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation' (Mk 16:15). Now, you are invited to discover what evangelization means today through 12 richly insightful lectures from award-winning church historian and theologian C. Colt Anderson.

You will explore the four foundational questions underlying Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI''s calls for a new evangelization: What is evangelization? How is the new evangelization related to the old evangelization? Whose responsibility is it to evangelize? How does a person become effective at evangelization?

In doing so, you will discover how the term 'evangelization' has been understood throughout the history of the Church from the Apostolic Age to the present. Dr. Anderson will demonstrate how significant figures such as Augustine, Gregory the Great, Peter Damian, Bernard of Clairvaux, Bonaventure, and others worked to move people to a more engaged and apostolic form of life. You will explore the relationship of evangelization to spirituality, penance, preaching, and culture. As the series proceeds, you will learn useful strategies for becoming effective at evangelization within our media-saturated, postmodern cultural context.

If you wish to learn more about the history and power of evangelization, this captivating series is for you.
