Uprooted - Dialogues on the Liquid Church

Aurelio Porfiri Aldo Maria Valli

Maison d'édition: Chorabooks

Synopsis

In the Catholic Church it is time for great divisions, divisions on important themes and of great impact for the faithful and also for those who do not profess Catholics. Here is a book that carries on the dialogues on some of the most important nodes behind these divisions, a passionate and suffered book, written by Aldo Maria Valli, well known Vaticanist and Aurelio Porfiri, church musician and writer (and translated by Giuseppe Pellegrino for the English speaking audiences). Both engaged in intense journalistic activity, have condensed hours of discussions, meditations and reflections against the current narrative.
Aldo Maria Valli, journalist and writer, has been a vaticanist for years. In his blog Duc in altum (among the most popular and authoritative) has long been committed to the defense of Catholic tradition, the right doctrine and correct liturgy. For Chorabooks he has already published Uno sguardo nella notte, Sradicati (with Aurelio Porfiri) and Claustrofobia.
Aurelio Porfiri is a composer, choirmaster, writer and teacher living between Rome and Hong Kong. He has published more than 30 books and more than 700 articles. His musical works are published in France, Italy, Germany, the United States and China.

Dear White Peacemakers -...

Osheta Moore

Dear White Peacemakers is a breakup letter to division, a love letter to God’s beloved community, and an eviction notice to the violent powers that have sustained racism for centuries.   Race is one of the hardest topics to discuss in America. Many white Christians avoid talking about it altogether. But a commitment to peacemaking requires white people to step out of their comfort and privilege and into the work of anti-racism. Dear White Peacemakers is an invitation to white Christians to come to the table and join this hard work and holy calling. Rooted in the life, ministry, and teachings of Jesus, this book is a challenging call to transform white shame, fragility, saviorism, and privilege, in order to work together to build the Beloved Community as anti-racism peacemakers.   Written in the wake of George Floyd’s death, Dear White Peacemakers draws on the Sermon on the Mount, Spirituals, and personal stories from author Osheta Moore’s work as a pastor in St. Paul, Minnesota. Enter into this story of shalom and join in the urgent work of anti-racism peacemaking.

A Rumored Fortune

Joanna Davidson Politano

Tressa Harlowe's father did not trust banks, but neither did he trust his greedy extended family. He kept his vast fortune hidden somewhere on his estate in the south of England and died suddenly, without telling anyone where he had concealed it. Tressa and her ailing mother are left with a mansion and an immense vineyard and no money to run it. It doesn't take long for a bevy of opportunists to flock to the estate under the guise of offering condolences. Tressa knows what they're really up to. She'll have to work with the rough and rusticated vineyard manager to keep the laborers content without pay and discover the key to finding her father's fortune--before someone else finds it first. Award-winning author Joanna Davidson Politano welcomes readers to Trevelyan Castle, home of the poorest heiress in Victorian England, for a treasure hunt they'll not soon forget.
