Bloody Foreigner
Alain Lau, a Chinese man with French background, has escaped life in a small third world country for a more exciting one in England. As he struggles to make a success of his life in his new country, it soon becomes apparent that his skin colour is proving a bigger barrier to social integration – even his name is anglicised by people who can’t be bothered to learn how to say it properly. What remains a mystery to him is why his long-term landlady, who hates foreigners, has lured him to her house and even gives him free English lessons. Ever since Alain landed in England, his constant fear is being unmasked as a fraud by the English family who invited him here. Anita, his girlfriend, encourages him to confess all to her and promises to keep his secret safe. One night, in a rage of jealousy, she betrays him, with dire consequences for both.

Interior Freedom
Interior Freedom leads one to discover that even in the most unfavorable outward circumstances we possess within ourselves a space of freedom that nobody can take away, because God is its source and guarantee. Without this discovery we will always be restricted in some way and will never taste true happiness. Author Jacques Philippe develops a simple but important theme: we gain possession of our interior freedom in exact proportion to our growth in faith, hope, and love. He explains that the dynamism between these three theological virtues is the heart of the spiritual life, and he underlines the key role of the virtue of hope in our inner growth. Written in a simple and inviting style, Interior Freedom seeks to liberate the heart and mind to live the true freedom to which God calls each one.
