Abandoned by her father and raised by a staunch Catholic mother, Janet seeks to make amends for her troubled teen years and to find a purpose for her pain. Janet subjects her rebellious spirit to the whims of an oppressive Mother Superior, immersing herself in the constructed reality of Roman Catholic convent life in the 1980s to serve God as Sister Mary Jude. Living in three countries and speaking three languages, she packs into thirteen years what many never experience in a lifetime. She dines with bishops and beggars, washes the feet of the poor, and holds hands with the mentally ill. All while ignoring the gnawing dysfunction of her religious surroundings. As the truth surrounding her father unravels, certainties shatter and life becomes a muddled question, forcing her to face her own truth. Surviving Sanctity is dedicated to those who suffer with depression. A portion of royalties will support the nonprofit organization Project Semicolon-because your story isn't over yet.

With original translations of primary texts and articles by leading researchers in the field, Sanctity in the North gives an introduction to the literary production associated with the cult of the saints in medieval Scandinavia. For more than five hundred years, Nordic clerics and laity venerated a host of saints through liturgical celebrations, written manuscripts, visual arts, and oral traditions. Textual evidence of this widespread and important aspect of medieval spirituality abounds. Written biographies (or vitae), compendia of witnessed miracles, mass propers, homilies, sagas and chronicles, dramatic scripts, hymns, and ballads are among the region's surviving medieval manuscripts and early published books. Sanctity in the North features English translations of texts from Latin or vernacular Nordic languages, in many cases for the first time. The accompanying essays concerning the texts, saints, cults, and history of the period complement the translations and reflect the contributors' own disciplinary groundings in folklore, philology, medieval, and religious studies.

This book introduces the importance of the eleventh-century monastery at Selles-sur-Cher (Loir-et Cher)and its early Romanesque sculpture. The frieze at Selles is the first episodic narrative in monumental architectural sculpture to survive on the European stage. It represents a little known saint - St Eusice. The narrative draws on a surviving text - the Miracula Sancti Eusicii Confessoris written by Letaldus of Micy, a prolific local hagiographer in the generation before the frieze was carved and an author of great literary flare. The imagery of the obscure St Eusice would be inexplicable without this text. The carvings of St Eusice are juxtaposed with the Life of Christ in a series of approximately 35 panels, not quite 2 feet in height, that wrap around the east end of the church, above and below the choir windows. This frieze has been overlooked until now, not only because of its damaged condition but because it was interpreted as a provincial, late Romanesque work. Early twentieth century scholars followed Emile Male and Henri Focillon, placing it in the 12th century - over a century too late. As a result its seminal position in the re-emergence of sculpture during the first half of the 11th century was overlooked. But the historical and stylistic evidence provide clear proof of a date in the 1040s not the 1160s.As the first substantial surviving episodic narrative in stone and the earliest narrative frieze to remain since Antiquity the carving at Selles borrows extensively and astutely from classical remains. The iconography of Selles-sur-Cher further serves as a springboard for the examination of a range of important post-millennial developments.

Known to be a prolific writer (he was proclaimed a patron saint of writers and journalists by Pope Pius XI in 1923), Francis de Sales wrote about what he loved most: God and faith. He was born in 1567, and was later destined to carry the title of the Bishop of Geneva before being canonized in Rome by Pope Alexander VII in 1665, forty three years after his death. The Secret of Sanctity teaches about the spirituality around the ritual of receiving the eucharist. It touches on the meaning of the eucharist (the body, blood, coil, and divinity of Christ), and how to use frequent confession to forge deeper connections with Christ. This book is a must-read for Catholics, particularly those who are new to the faith.

Subsistence and Survival: Rural Ecology in the Pacific covers the ecology of man's environment, man's use and perception of biological resources, and the physiology and health of the human organism itself. The geographical range of this text extends from the glaciated uplands of Papua New Guinea, through the montane forests and grasslands of the Highlands, into the coastal jungles, and across to the smaller islands and atolls of the South West Pacific. This book is organized into five parts encompassing 14 chapters. The first part deals with the theory and applications of human ecology. The next part considers first the International Biological Program in New Guinea concerning the link between human ecology and biomedical research. This part also explores the nutritional adaptation among the Enga and in Melanesia, and then introduces the principles of environmental health engineering as human ecology. The subsequent two parts highlight the impact of human activities on the environment, with an emphasis on the association between environmental exploitation and human subsistence. The final part discusses the relevance of self-subsistence communities for world ecosystem management. This book will be of great value to anthropologists, geographers, human biologists, nutritionists, botanists, and public health engineers.
