Ciszek, S.J., finally returned to America. Had he come back a bitter man, or a man of diminished faith, it would have been hard to fault him. But he didn't. For the remainder of his years, until his death in 1984, Fr. Ciszek's grace, faith, and wisdom touched--often in profound and lasting ways--everyone who came into contact with him. With God in America is a collection of previously unpublished writings on Ciszek's post-imprisonment life and thoughts. The contents--which include articles he wrote, speeches he delivered at retreats, letters he sent to people he was counseling, and interviews with individuals who knew him personally--present a man unbroken by all that he had endured and eager to share God's love with others. From Ciszek's first days back home in the States to his final words before his death, With God in America demonstrates that saintliness isn't primarily about acting heroically in dramatic or devastating circumstances, but about honoring the ordinary, everyday aspects of life as treasured gifts from God.JesuitsReligionCiszek Walter J.1436449DeJak John M.comDolan Timothy M.auiLindeijer MarccomBOOK9910157436803321With God in America3595194UNINA05391nam 2200589Ia 450 991096339370332120251116165708.00-8214-4181-7(CKB)1000000000245435(OCoLC)133168044(CaPaEBR)ebrary10124773(SSID)ssj0000278027(PQKBManifestationID)12041028(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000278027(PQKBWorkID)10242322(PQKB)10631149(MiAaPQ)EBC3026879(Au-PeEL)EBL3026879(CaPaEBR)ebr10124773(OCoLC)923681460(BIP)35538350(BIP)8663062(EXLCZ)99100000000024543520030917d2003 ub 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrPapers on League of Nations /edited with commentary by Frank X.

Beginning with his inaugural address and concluding with a detailed exposition of governmental expenses and needed economies, President William Howard Taft showed himself willing to tackle the routine as well as the rarified responsibilities of executive rule. Whether he was addressing the issue of strikes and labor unions or conservation, President Taft consistently demonstrated that, in word and action, he was prepared to be a modern president. What impresses the reader of these remarks is Taft's willingness to administer to virtually every part of the nation, thereby proving that he was not a mere figurehead but a chief executive truly concerned about problems across the country. Perhaps, as his words here indicate, Taft was not a good politician after all but a kind man who saw himself as president of all the people. As the first of two volumes directly related to Taft's tenure as president, Presidential Addresses and State Papers documents a pivotal time in the public life of this man from Ohio. Introduced by a commentary from the general series editor Professor David H. Burton, the third volume of The Collected Works of William Howard Taft underscores the presidential stature of William Howard Taft.PeacePeace.352.23/8/097309041 s341.22Taft William H(William Howard),1857-1930.246716Gerrity Frank X.1923-2001.1864871MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910963393703321Papers on League of Nations4471819UNINA
