Holy Collisions is a rollercoaster ride through heaven and hell and each page can't come fast enough Through the eyes of a child Teresa Laughlin depicts her childhood as different, dangerous and supernatural. Monsters are real and walk among us. Her monster, her betrayer and her Judas was her father
"I feel strangely removed as he vows to kill all of us. It's as if I am watching a black and white movie playing out in slow motion. All sound is muffled like I am underwater. My thoughts scatter into whispers only I can hear. 'Will it hurt to die?' 'What if he shoots me and I don't die?' I stare at the gun and then up at Daddy's rage-distorted face."
God's grace comes when we least expect or deserve it, as Terry (Teresa) would eventually find out. She stumbled through life as an atheist with a distorted perception of life, love, and God.
Terry's feisty spirit and sometimes outrageous sense of humor kept her going until she met Him, the creator of life and love.
Holy Collisions builds up even more momentum as she includes the astounding testimony of her son, Keith Russell So whether or not you believe in Jesus Christ or modern day miracles, this is a challenging read.

The life and many afterlives of one of the most enduring mystical testaments ever written
The Life of Saint Teresa of Avila is among the most remarkable accounts ever written of the human encounter with the divine. The Life is not really an autobiography at all, but rather a confession written for inquisitors by a nun whose raptures and mystical claims had aroused suspicion. Despite its troubled origins, the book has had a profound impact on Christian spirituality for five centuries, attracting admiration from readers as diverse as mystics, philosophers, artists, psychoanalysts, and neurologists. How did a manuscript once kept under lock and key by the Spanish Inquisition become one of the most inspiring religious books of all time?
National Book Award winner Carlos Eire tells the story of this incomparable spiritual masterpiece, examining its composition and reception in the sixteenth century, the various ways its mystical teachings have been interpreted and reinterpreted across time, and its enduring influence in our own secular age. The Life became an iconic text of the Counter-Reformation, was revered in Franco's Spain, and has gone on to be read as a feminist manifesto, a literary work, and even as a secular text. But as Eire demonstrates in this vibrant and evocative book, Teresa's confession is a cry from the heart to God and an audacious portrayal of mystical theology as a search for love.
Here is the essential companion to the Life, one woman's testimony to the reality of mystical experience and a timeless affirmation of the ultimate triumph of good over evil.

Описание: Her story for a little more than fifty years had been a blessed one. She had been married to the love of her life for nearly thirty years. They had raised two wonderful children, and were on the brink of emptying their nest. Her work had recently taken her to a new level, being elected as her city's first female mayor, although getting to that point in her career did not come without some frustrating - even painful consequences. She learned that those dark times had been a necessary rite of passage for what was in store for her and her family. It started with a simple question that she thought she could never completely answer. But God. He had more in store - in finding the answer to that question - than she ever could have imagined. Finding Frank is the journey of an adult woman as she searched for information about her biological father, who she had believed to be dead for many years. In sharing her story, Teresa Rochetti-Cantrell wants to bring hope to others in similar situations.

Описание: This study traces the genealogy of Saint Perpetua’s story with a straightforward yet previously overlooked question at its center: How was Perpetua remembered and to what uses was that memory put? One of the most popular and venerated saints from 200 CE to the thirteenth century, the story of Saint Perpetua was retold in dramatically different forms across the European Middle Ages. Her story begins in the arena at Carthage: a 22-year-old nursing mother named Vibia Perpetua was executed for being a Christian, leaving behind a self-authored account of her time in prison leading up to her martyrdom. By turns loving mother, militant gladiator, empathic young woman, or unattainable ideal, Saint Perpetua’s story ultimately helps to trace the circulation of texts and the transformations of ideals of Christian womanhood between the third and thirteenth centuries.

In May of 1868, Elizabeth Bingham Young and her husband of only fivemonths, Egerton Ryerson Young, began a long journey from Hamilton,Ontario, to the Methodist mission of Rossville, at Norway House. Overthe next eight years, Elizabeth supported her husband’s work atRossville and then at the newly founded mission of Berens River, on theeast shore of Lake Winnipeg. In these remote outposts, she gave birthto four children, one of whom died in infancy, acted as a nurse anddoctor, and applied both perseverance and determination to learningCree, while also coping with poverty and a chronic shortage ofsupplies, both in the mission and in the community it served. WhenElizabeth died, in 1935, she left behind various reminiscences, notablyan extended account of her experiences at Norway House and BerensRiver, evidently written in 1927. Her memoirs offer an exceedingly rareportrait of mission life as seen through the eyes of a woman.
Elizabeth’s first child and only surviving son, also namedEgerton Ryerson Young but known in his youth as “Eddie,”was born at Norway House in 1869. Cared for by a Cree woman almost frominfancy, Eddie spent his early childhood immersed in local Cree andOjibwe life, culture, and language, in many ways exemplifying theprocess of reverse acculturation often in evidence among the childrenof missionaries. He, too, left behind hitherto unpublishedreminiscences, one composed around 1935 and a second dictated shortlybefore his death. Like those of his mother, Eddie’s memoriescapture the sensory and emotional texture of mission life, a life inwhich the Christian faith is implicit rather than prominently ondisplay, while also providing an intriguing counterpoint to hismother’s recollections. Like all memoirs, these are refractedthrough the prism of time, and yet they remain startling in theirimmediacy. Together, the writings of mother and son—conjoinedhere with a selection of archival documents that supplement the mainnarratives, with the whole meticulously edited by Jennifer S. H.Brown—afford an all too uncommon opportunity to contemplatemission life from the ground up.
