Book Description
Joan Sheen Cunningham was happily growing up with her family in Illinois when her uncle Bishop Fulton Sheen offered her the opportunity of a lifetime: to attend a private school in New York City. With the blessing of her parents, she eagerly accepted, and Fulton Sheen became a second father, a role model, and a lifelong friend. In this memoir, Joan describes many formative experiences she had with Fulton Sheen—from shopping for a winter coat to meeting Al Smith, the governor of New York. She fondly recollects how her uncle guided her courtship, helped her and her new husband find an apartment, and baptized their children and grandchildren. Sheen is most known for his popular television show, Life Is Worth Living. The Sheen that Joan presents, however, is not only a polished television personality, but a man of prayer, generosity, and missionary zeal who interacted with count- less people from all walks of life. In one story after another, she illustrates that this great man’s chief concern was sharing the mercy of God with everyone.

Book Description
With the help of her best friend, Samantha Tiernan-Bradley, 14-year-old, Jeannine Vandermiller escaped from the Truth Keepers, a polygamous community in Montana where she’s lived her entire life. The last thing she intended was losing her beloved family when she ran away because she didn’t want to marry the bishop of their fundamentalist church and become his latest celestial or spiritual wife. She always thought she’d marry the boy next door when he finished law school. They were supposed to have their Promise Ceremony this summer, but that was before the bishop chose her as his next sister-wife. Jeannine feels all alone in Stewart Falls, Washington. Everything is so different, not just a brand-new school with harder classes for girls. There are strange clothes and forbidden activities like movies, cell phones, computers, jewelry, cheerleaders, and boys too! And Samantha has changed too. Jeannine wonders if she still trusts her best friend. What can she do? Will she ever be able to return home? And does she want to?
The Christians of Pakistan
Author: Linda WalbridgePublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136131868
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
In May 1998, John Joseph, the first native Pakistani Catholic bishop, shot himself in front of the courthouse where a Christian had been sentenced to death for blasphemy. This book tells the story of the Christians in Pakistan, with Bishop Joseph as its centrepiece. It is an account of outcastes who sought hope through Christianity, but who now find themselves victims of a struggle to define Islam in Pakistan. The majority of Pakistani Christians are descendants of untouchables converted to Christianity in the late 19th century. In Pakistan a minority religion is linked with low status, perpetuating the Indian Hindu caste system even though the Muslim majority has disassociated itself from all things Hindu and Indian. The book also deals with enculturation in the Pakistani church, the rise of native clergy, conflicts between the local church and Rome, the rise of 'fundamentalist' Islam and the position of women in society and church.
