Two decades ago, Trinity Calhoun's best friend—eighteen-year-old Savannah Stuart—went missing. Just weeks later, Savannah's body was found brutally slain outside the mountain town.

But now, an unexpected phone call from her former lover has her barreling down the highway to face the past.

Salvation and spiritual perfection should not be sought haphazardly; a strategy is needed to win the battle for our souls.

St. Francis de Sales (1576-1622) read from it himself every day and recommended it to everyone under his direction.

First published in 1948, Antonio Gramsci's Prison Notebooks is an important Marxist work that says we must understand societies both in terms of their economic relationships and their cultural beliefs. Gramsci wanted to explore why Russia had undergone a socialist revolution in 1917 while other European countries had not. So he developed the concept of hegemony, which is the idea that those who hold power in a society can maintain and use that power because of their own grip on cultural values and economic relationships.

“Why aren’t I as wealthy as I should be?” If you’ve ever asked yourself this question, you’re not alone. Hard-working, well-educated, middle- to high-income people often wonder why they haven’t joined the ranks of the affluent—especially when, on paper, they earn enough to get there. Other financial books have shattered myths by showing how most millionaires owe their success to hard work, diligent saving, and living below their means—not lavish spending or astronomical salaries. They’re more likely to quietly accumulate wealth in ordinary neighborhoods than flaunt it in elite zip codes.

There are many 17th-century editions which have the name Spanish Benedictine, John of Castanzia. Some Jesuit writers have ascribed the book to the Jesuit Achilles Gagliardi. However, most critics consider Fr. Lawrence Scupoli the author.

Brontolone, cinico, pigro, bugiardo: è così che si potrebbe descrivere Cesare Annunziata. Come quella volta in cui, per attaccare bottone con la sua futura moglie, si era inventato di possedere una collezione di scatolette di fiammiferi per poi essere costretto per oltre cinquant’anni a collezionarle davvero. Ormai vedovo e ottantenne, con mille acciacchi e le giornate vuote, Cesare si trova ad affrontare un agosto in città. Nel condominio al Vomero sono rimasti in pochi.

Cesare Annunziata è vedovo, ha settantasette anni e nessuna voglia di essere un vecchietto come si deve. Cinico e irriverente, trascorre le giornate fra le bevute in compagnia del mite amico Marino e le chiacchiere stentate con Eleonora, la gattara che abita sul suo stesso pianerottolo. A queste si aggiungono il tedio di una figlia in carriera, il tiro alla fune con un figlio che gli tiene nascosta un’omosessualità che lui ha indovinato da tempo e gli appuntamenti con Rossana, la matura infermiera che soddisfa gli anziani del quartiere per denaro.
