Comentários aos Evangelhos dominicais - Ano C - Domingos do Tempo Comum. Composta de sete volumes, essa original obra de Mons. João Scognamiglio Clá Dias, EP, tem o mérito de pôr a teologia ao alcance de todos, por meio de comentários aos Evangelhos dos domingos e solenidades do ano. [A obra “O inédito sobre os Evangelhos” revela,] em primeiro lugar, o teólogo, com admirável sentido pedagógico e ampla erudição teológica, que aproveita os tesouros antigos e novos do intellectus fidei, desde os Padres da Igreja até nossos dias, para oferecer ao povo de Deus o pão da boa doutrina proveniente do sol da Palavra de Deus (...). O Autor é um pregador com um sentido doutrinário m...
Ethiopia is one of the world's oldest countries; its Rift Valley may be the location where the ancestors of humankind originated more than four million years ago. With a population of 67 million people today, it is the third most populous country on the African continent after Nigeria and Egypt. It is the source of 86 percent of the water reaching the Aswan Dam in Egypt, most of it carried by the amazing Blue Nile. Ethiopia offers major historical sites such as the pre-Christian palace at Yeha, the stele and tombs of the old Kingdom of Axum, and the rock-carved churches of Lalibela. For anyone interested in Ethiopia, this historical dictionary, through its individual and carefully cross-refe...
Saints both young and bold, The tales of these saints are told here, along with those of many others who, although young, have joined the ranks of the greatest saints: some by dying for their faith, many more by living for it. Their lives of great and simple virtue remind us that "valor does not wait on years," nor does holiness. To live in the love of God, in absolute obedience to His commandments, to practice the noblest Christian virtues, and even to offer our life in sacrifice - we don't have to be grown up.
San Giuseppe fu un uomo dotato di altissima saggezza, di vigore indomabile e d’illibata innocenza. Nessuno, in tutta la Storia, coniugò come lui la più fine furbizia alla più integra purezza, costituendosi elemento chiave della vittoria del bene sul male. Caro lettore, con quest’opera l’autore desidera presentarle il genuino profilo del grande Patriarca della Chiesa, al fine di suscitare, con ogni enfasi, l’autentica devozione verso la sua straordinaria figura. San Giuseppe fu un eroe insuperabile, un vero Crociato della Luce; in sintesi, l’uomo di fiducia della Santissima Trinità. La sua forza è profondamente legata alla sua verginità, poiché la purezza integra è l’unica capace di originare nel cuore umano le energie necessarie per affrontare le difficoltà con spirito risoluto e totale certezza della vittoria.

Never has a Pope, in a book-length interview, dealt so directly with such wide-ranging and controversial issues as Pope Benedict XVI does in Light of the World. Taken from a recent week-long series of interviews with veteran journalist Peter Seewald, this book tackles head-on some of the greatest issues facing the world of our time. Seewald poses such forthright questions to Pope Benedict as: What caused the clergy sexual abuse in the Catholic Church? Was there a "cover up"? Have you considered resigning? Does affirming the goodness of the human body mean a plea for "better sex"? Can there be a genuine dialogue with Islam? Should the Church rethink Catholic teaching on priestly celibacy, wom...
From live productions of the 1950s like Requiem for a Heavyweight to big budget mini-series like Band of Brothers, long-form television programs have been helmed by some of the most creative and accomplished names in directing. Encyclopedia of Television Film Directors brings attention to the directors of these productions, citing every director of stand alone long-form television programs: made for TV movies, movie-length pilots, mini-series, and feature-length anthology programs, as well as drama, comedy, and musical specials of more than 60 minutes. Each of the nearly 2,000 entries provides a brief career sketch of the director, his or her notable works, awards, and a filmography. Many entries also provide brief discussions of key shows, movies, and other productions. Appendixes include Emmy Awards, DGA Awards, and other accolades, as well as a list of anthology programs. A much-needed reference that celebrates these often-neglected artists, Encyclopedia of Television Film Directors is an indispensable resource for anyone interested in the history of the medium.
