Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Sixty years after the completion of Vatican II, the full meaning of the only Catholic ecumenical council of the last 150 years is still not widely understood. Longtime journalist Glen Argan shows how the council intended to draw ordinary Catholics into an encounter with Jesus. That encounter empowers us for a mission to transform the world. Jesus Christ, the Heart of Vatican II presents the council as a call to deeper faith and inspired action. It shows how popes from John XXIII to Leo XIV have discerned the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking through the Second Vatican Council and calling the faithful to a dynamic mission. Catholic readers will find in Jesus Christ, the Heart of Vatican II a path to living out the council's vision for following Jesus.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Chantel Morin grew up shaped by her own preterm birth, maternal illness and loss, silence, and caregiving. Through a life of nursing, advocacy, and burnout, she discovered the quiet ways survival can disguise itself as competence. Her memoir is about making meaning of a life shaped by grief, care, and survival-and about what becomes possible when trauma-informed understanding finally makes room for truth, grief, regulation, and becoming.Trauma-Informed Me is a reflective, emotionally honest story about nervous systems, hyper-functioning, love, identity, and the cost of living too long in survival mode. Written in a lyrical but accessible voice, the book explores how early experiences shape the body, how women learn to be 'fine,' and how healing often looks less like arrival and more like a slow unfolding. Many readers will recognize themselves in the patterns this book names, giving language to grief, caregiving, advocacy, burnout, and healing - and making them feel less alone in their experiences.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Prema (??????) is the Sanskrit word for love.Written over fifteen years, Prema is a memoir told through a series of letters that reflect on love, loss, and personal growth - this author's story is shaped by her lived experience, but one many of us will recognise. Sometimes taking a spiritual and philosophical approach to her healing journey, she explores how her relationships - with family, friends, and herself - shape her understanding of who we are and how we move through the world.Each letter focuses on a different relationship, tracing her evolution, as she examines painful experiences with honesty and a commitment to forgiveness, without leaning into bitterness.Prema invites readers to reflect on their own experiences of love and to consider how awareness, compassion, and self-understanding can guide the way as we navigate life. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Unapologetic is a bold, incisive, and deeply validating look at what it means to lead as a woman in workplaces still shaped by male-centric norms. Drawing on three decades in aviation, energy, and industrial operations, the author dismantles the myth of the 'neutral' workplace and names the forces that quietly shape women's careers: invisible labour, biased leadership standards, corporate gaslighting, and the emotional load they're expected to carry.With a sharp, conversational voice, the book reassures women that they are not the problem-the system is-and offers practical tools to lead without shrinking, over-functioning, or apologizing. Each chapter pairs insight with actionable guidance, including scripts, boundary-setting strategies, and punchy callouts that capture the lived experience of being 'the only,' 'the first,' or the one expected to hold everything together.The structure moves from naming the system, to navigating it, to leading beyond it. Topics include visibility without self-promotion, saying no as a leadership act, securing sponsorship, surviving layoffs, and leading with empathy without becoming everyone's therapist.Written for women in mid-career and beyond-especially those in male-dominated or traditional environments who are relied on, underestimated, and increasingly unwilling to contort themselves to fit outdated norms-Unapologetic offers both validation and a path forward. It speaks directly to those who see the patterns clearly, want to lead with authority without self-sacrifice, and rarely see themselves reflected in leadership narratives, including under-represented women.At its core, this is a rallying cry, a toolkit, and a reframing of power-designed to help women lead with more clarity, more courage, and zero apology. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - For forty years, poet Simone L. Hamlescher turned to her notebook-in her spare time, when she was frustrated, when she had no one else. She learned that every poem is a life experience. Growing up and growing old, love and grief, birth and death-a poem can illuminate our inner worlds and everyday lives. That's what the poems in Herding Cats in the Forbidden Kingdom: A Poetry Collection (1986-2026) do. They reveal life's twists and turns and the many experiences that shape us. Writing in rhyming couplets, epic poems, haiku, and free verse poems, Hamlescher explores themes of mental health, love, nature, and death. Through ellipses and fragments, these poems allow-and encourage-the mind to wander and seek connection. They ruminate on how lonely and heartbreaking life can be but also how joyful and filled with love. Our lives may change like the seasons, moving from birth to growth to death, but each new stage contains its own splendour and lessons. Thought-provoking and rich with imagery, Herding Cats in the Forbidden Kingdom is more than one poet's legacy. It's a lyrical manifesto, reminding us that no matter what season of life we're in, life is beautiful and full of meaning.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - He smiled to himself, taking a slow sip of the Scotch. God must really love him, he thought. How else could he explain it All the lies, the scams, the sins, and he was still here. Successful. Respected. Untouchable.Maybe, he reasoned, God had forgiven him. Maybe all this was divine favour, proof of grace, not guilt. The moment was almost holy.Ex-convict Elijah 'Eli' Penn is not a man you would expect to find preaching salvation behind a pulpit. Newly released from prison, he heads to the city, armed with a plan, a vision, knowledge of tax codes (thanks to a fellow accountant inmate who soon joins him on the outside) and human desperation, and charismatically reinvents himself as a trusted spiritual leader, slowly building a religious empire. But what begins as a calculated move to gain control and legitimacy soon evolves into something far more complex. As Eli's holy realm grows-which must mean that God loves him, as He isn't stopping him-so does his appetite for darker misdeeds and risk taking, until, eventually, this imposter messiah will stop at nothing to preserve his hard-earned criminal masquerade. But as the stakes get higher, so does the tension within himself and his network, culminating in blood and betrayal. With its bleak moral landscape, psychological tension, and sharp social commentary, Pa$tor is a gritty noir tale about corruption, faith, and the dangerous cost of redemption.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - It's taken for granted that a product's inception is solely a matter of design.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The death march to Nazi-occupied Ukraine of tens of thousands of Romanian Jews is one of the most horrifying-yet one of the least known-of the Nazi's wartime atrocities. In this gripping memoir, Larry Rotenberg, now in his nineties, recalls in vivid detail his childhood in a loving, deeply religious, Romanian Jewish family and his experience of the brutal winter march into Ukraine and the starvation, disease-and deaths of his parents and brother-that followed. It is a story of cruelty and desperation but also of tenderness, ingenuity, and bravery.Had Larry only told this story, he would have given a rare gift to the field of Holocaust studies. Instead, Larry offers readers something much greater: a window into what an orphaned, deeply traumatized boy from Czernowitz (now Chernivtsi) was able to forge from the barren hell of a wasteland that few know and even fewer survived. From postwar uncertainty and isolation to life as a young immigrant in a new land, Larry shares his journey through foster care in Canada, haunted by loss and self-doubt yet excelling in every new challenge. His struggle to transform unimaginable hardship into creativity carries him through the ups and downs of medical school, a turbulent stint as Chief of Psychiatry at the US Army Pacific Command during the Vietnam War, a successful campaign to rebuild the dysfunctional psychiatry department at a major Pennsylvania hospital, and finally an acclaimed career in the challenging world of forensic psychiatry. His perseverance after a childhood of traumatic loss unfolds into a rich and meaningful life-one that he now shares with us as the enduring gift of this memoir.…
