Paperback. Condizione: Good. For too many decades, our Catholic Church has diluted her distinctive traditions in order to please contemporary culture, losing not only her patrimony but much of her moral authority-just when the world needs it most. Today with our country and our Church suffering their worst crises since the 1960s, distressed American Catholics are understandably hungry for big solutions to their big problems. Fortunately where today so many see only darkness, author Brandon McGinley sees light, arguing that these dire days offer us an opportunity to rescue our Church - if only we have the holy confidence to seize this God-given moment. Unlike many who have responded to these crises, McGinley does not propose that we return to an unrealistically romanticized Catholic past. With painstaking clarity, he unearths what was working - and what wasn't - in the decades before Vatican II, and he shows how genuine Catholic renewal can only emerge from fidelity to our Catholic identity and tradition, applied to the contemporary world. We have everything we need - we have Christ! - but we need the confidence to bring His grace and truth to the world. Here is our roadmap for renewal - a roadmap for families, for schools, for parishes, and, indeed, for the institutional Church. In this crisis, we can complain and despair, or we can seize the opportunity to demonstrate that the Catholic Church is the means to bringing the grace and peace of heaven to earth. Book jacket.…

Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. Absinthe is a booming business, with global trade expected to reach £44.3 billion by 2026. First produced in 1792, the spirit, known as 'the green fairy,' was banned worldwide by 1914 before the bans were gradually overturned beginning in 2007. Thus, on the black market, bottles that were produced before the ban are worth solid gold. Enter The Absintheur, a deadly-charismatic European art student whose real name we can't yet divulge. He charmed some of the best minds (and palates) in the beverage world into thinking that he was selling them precious vintage pre-ban bottles, for years. How did he get away with it? The Absinthe Forger pieces together The Absintheur's subterfuge, motivation, and hidden life story with the help of the absinthe connoisseurs who eventually proved his fraud while Evan Rail reported on it for the New York Times. It relates the illicit history of absinthe, from its birth in Switzerland through its coming of age in France, and on to the spirit's modern revival starting. The Absinthe Forger is a compellingly bizarre crime drama that will make you never look at wormwood in the same way again.…
