New, extended edition of the collection of “women's” reportages by Mariusz Szczygło.

Depuis son enfance au milieu des plus pauvres, une conviction habitait le père Joseph Wresinski : le chrétien naît le regard tourné vers le plus misérable ; l'Église, c'est les pauvres, réellement. Là où l'homme le plus méprisé est oublié, l'humanité est cassée, l'Église absente, le Christ bafoué. Cette interview réalisé par Gilles Anouil, ancien rédacteur en chef de Preuves et rédacteur en chef adjoint de Réalités montre bien comment le message du père Joseph, sa vie personnelle et la création du mouvement ATD Quart-monde ont été intimement mêlés. En même temps il fait toucher du doigt à quel point on peut ignorer l'existence et l'ampleur de la grande pauvreté.

For more than a decade, New York University president John Sexton has used baseball to illustrate the elements of a spiritual life in a wildly popular course at NYU. Using great works of baseball literature as well as the actual game’s fantastic moments, its legendary characters, and its routine rituals - from the long-sought triumph of the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers to the heroic achievements of players like the saintly Christy Mathewson and the sinful Ty Cobb to the loving intimacy of a game of catch between a father and son - Sexton teaches that through the game we can touch the spiritual dimensions of life.

Mit diesem kurzen, leicht verständlichen Hörbuch möchte er verunsicherten Christen helfen zu verstehen, was Gott dazu in der Bibel gesagt hat.
