Irish Spirituality

Author Stephen Birmingham, who chronicled the rise of Jewish immigrants to extraordinary wealth and success in Our Crowd, now turns his attention to the Irish. Real Lace tells the colorful and fascinating true stories of America’s most renowned Irish-Catholic families. Scions of courageous, driven, and resilient men and women who escaped starvation during Ireland’s terrible potato famine in the mid-19th century, they battled their way out of the slums of Boston and New York, overcoming prejudice and poverty to achieve great wealth, fame, and political power.

In this second volume of paranormal stories, the author goes a step further. As well as new investigations, this book includes events that have happened in the author's own home. Is someone patrolling the fort and doing their duty long after the inmates have gone? What was the energy that tried but failed to enter the old graveyard? What was in the castle chapel that seemed to resent the investigators' presence? There are many locations in Ireland that hold mysteries similar to these.

Acclaimed biographer John Loughery tells the story of John Hughes, son of Ireland, friend of William Seward and James Buchanan, founder of St. John's College (now Fordham University), builder of Saint Patrick's Cathedral on Fifth Avenue, pioneer of parochial school education, and American diplomat. As archbishop of the Archdiocese of New York in the 1840 and 1850s and the most famous Roman Catholic in America, Hughes defended Catholic institutions in a time of nativist bigotry and church burnings and worked tirelessly to help Irish Catholic immigrants find acceptance.

Do you believe in ghosts? Do you doubt that the spirit world exists? Are you looking for proof? This book tells it like it is. Listen to it with an open mind, but remember, we are all looking for proof and, until we find it, legends and tales like these are simply legends and tales that are waiting to be investigated further. I have been honest in my accounts of my own experiences, but as the name suggests, they are personal experiences. However, I will keep investigating until I find at least some answers to my many questions.

This collection of classic Irish wisdom—in the form of stories, prayers, and proverbs—reveals the creator in the natural world and highlights the importance of the Celtic spiritual heritage.

Nicholas Irish provides ample evidence from history, society, politics, religion, and sociology to show that saying that Jesus Christ is a Jew hurts Jews and Jewish communities. Irish argues that stating that Jesus Christ is a Jew will push historical processes such as the violent pogroms that Jews experienced in Russia and the Holocaust that Jews experienced in Europe. This audiobook is a must listen for Jews and non-Jews alike. It is insightful and very listenable.
