Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Gambler's CrossThe Life and Vow of St. Camillus de LellisThe man who should have died in a ditch became the reason thousands didn't.He was a giant. A gambler. A drunk. A soldier who sold his own sword for dice. At 25, Camillo de Lellis had lost everything: his family, his health, his future. His leg rotted from a wound that would scream for forty years. He was thrown out of monasteries. Laughed out of hospitals. The world called him useless. God called him a mule.Then he made a bet.The bet: His life.The stakes: Every soul the world abandons.The odds: Impossible.He crawled into the plague-houses when priests fled. He walked into the Tiber when the flood came. He cut the ropes from patients tied to beds like animals. He wrote a vow that Rome called suicide: Servitium infirmis, etiam cum periculo vitae. Serve the sick, even with danger to your own life.His brothers kept it. They died in Naples. They died in Milan. They died under fire, pulling soldiers from battlefields. In 1859, Henri Dunant saw one of them-red cross on his chest, wounded man in his arms-and built a movement that would save millions.This is not a safe saint story.There are no lilies here. No marble. No halos.There is the stink of gangrene. The rattle of the dying. The river at your neck. The cards on the table. The last breath of a boy named Pietro. The towel soaked black with blood. The whispered war cry that changed medicine forever: More heart in those hands.And the four words that became an altar: Sto' ccà. I'm here.The Gambler's Cross is the raw, unflinching epic of the man who turned a wound into a pulpit and a deathbed into a battlefield. It is about addiction and redemption. About war and wards. About why the red cross on an ambulance traces back to a sinner who refused to let anyone die alone.For readers of Unbroken, The Hiding Place, and Mountains Beyond Mountains.For anyone who has ever been in the ditch.For anyone who has ever wondered if someone would stay.He stayed.He still stays.The dice are cast. The vow is alive. The game is yours now.Et non derelinquam.And we will not abandon. Not ever. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Girl Who Asked 'Why 'She refused to be half a person.The world killed her for it.Heaven made her a saint.This is the story of the most dangerous woman of the twentieth century.She was a Jewish atheist who dismantled philosophers in lecture halls - and then walked into a convent and knelt.She was a feminist who demanded a place at the table of ideas - and then chose silence, obedience, and a grille.She was a daughter of Israel who said yes to Christ - and never stopped saying 'I am a Jew.'The Nazis called her a problem.The Church called her 'not yet.'Her mother called her an apostate.God called her Blessed.Saint Teresa Benedicta of the Cross lived with her intellect on fire and her heart nailed to the Cross. She wrote On the Problem of Empathy while the world was forgetting how to see other people's faces. She taught Thomas Aquinas to college girls while Hitler rose to power. She waited twelve years for Carmel, and when the Gestapo came for her, she took her sister's hand and said: 'Come, we are going for our people.'She died in Auschwitz not because she was Catholic, but because she was a Jew who would not renounce either.This is not hagiography.This is not safe.This is the story of a woman who asked the forbidden question - 'What if Truth is a Person ' - and let the answer ruin her life, and resurrect it.For the anxious who think faith means certainty.For the doubting who were told questions are sin.For the searching who were told to choose between their mind and their soul, their roots and their God, their womanhood and their vocation.Edith Stein answers: 'You don't have to choose. You were made to be whole.'She went into the gas chamber with a doctorate in philosophy and a rosary in her pocket.She went in undivided.She came out a saint.She came out co-patroness of Europe.She came out judging the century that tried to cut itself in half.The world thought it broke her.Heaven recorded a victory.'Let nothing disturb you. Let nothing frighten you. All things pass. God alone suffices.'She believed it.And then she proved it.Read this book if you have ever been told you are too much.Too intellectual for faith.Too faithful for reason.Too female for leadership.Too Jewish for the Church.Too Catholic for your family.Edith Stein is done being quiet.And she is not asking permission anymore.Turn the page.The questions start now.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Light in Her HandsShe said no to an empire. She said yes to nothing. And nothing changed the world.On Palm Sunday in 1211, the richest girl in Assisi vanished.Clare Offreduccio was eighteen. Heiress. Bride. The future her father had carved in gold. One night, she traded it all for scissors, a barefoot beggar, and a vow that would terrify the Church for forty years: \*I will own nothing.\*The world called her mad.The Pope called her dangerous.Francis of Assisi called her mother.Together they lit a fire the world could not put out. He was the voice. She was the flame that refused to go out when the voice went silent.When armies climbed her walls, she held up a piece of bread and watched them flee.When cardinals demanded she take money, land, and safety, she told them poverty is my dowry.When Francis died and the Order tried to rewrite him, she became his fiercest guardian, protecting his dream with her bare hands.When death came for her, the Pope came first - to kneel at her bedside and beg forgiveness.She died with nothing.She died with her hands full of light.This is not the story you learned in Sunday school.This is the story of a woman who outlived her heart, outlasted her grief, and outmaneuvered the most powerful men on earth without ever leaving her cloister. This is the story of a friendship that had no name, a poverty that was power, and a faith that did not need angels because it learned to stand when the sea did not part.If you think you know Clare of Assisi, you don't.If you think you know Francis, you can't - until you meet her.If you think holiness is safe, gentle, and quiet, this book will undo you.Saints do not change the world by being polite.They change it by giving up everything they are afraid to lose.Clare did. Now she is asking you: What are you afraid to give up For readers of The Hiding Place, Francis: A Life by Paul Sabatier, and anyone who has ever suspected that the Gospel was more dangerous than we were told.The door is open. The sea will not part. The angels may not come.Turn the page anyway. …

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - One frail old man stood between a king and God.Henry VIII had the crown. The court. The army.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - He built God's house. He could not save his own.One man. One crown. One prophecy.One kingdom lost forever.Edward was the last king of Saxon England - and the last man who wanted the throne. Exiled as a boy, crowned as a pawn, married to the daughter of the man who murdered his brother, he ruled a land he could not hold and loved a God who asked him to let it go.While Norman dukes sharpened their swords and his own court plotted his fall, Edward did the unthinkable: he knelt. He fed lepers. He forgave traitors. He poured his kingdom's gold into stone and prayer, raising Westminster Abbey as the wolves circled.On Christmas Day, 1065, as his great church was consecrated, he saw the future in a fever dream - a green tree cut in two, England drowning in blood, and a shoot rising from the stump. Eight days later, he was dead.Nine months after that, his crown was in the mud at Hastings. His kingdom was gone. His line was extinct.By every measure of kings, Edward the Confessor was a failure.And yet a thousand years later, the Normans are dust. The Conqueror's castles are ruins. The Domesday Book is a relic.But the abbey stands.And the man who lost everything is the only English king the Church ever called a saint.He lost a kingdom. He gained a halo. Which mattered more Sweeping from the exile's road to the deathbed prophecy, from the leper's touch to the arrow at Hastings, from the silence of a king to the roar of a cult built by monks, widows, and peasants, The Confessor is the mind-blowing true story of power and prayer, failure and faith.It asks the question every age must answer: When the wolves are at the door, do you reach for a sword. or do you build an altar For readers of The Pillars of the Earth and The Last Kingdom, this is the forgotten story of the king who chose heaven over heirs - and changed England forever.His England wasn't a place. It was a prayer.And the prayer remains.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - You don't know him.You think he's a jolly old elf who lives at the North Pole.You think he checks lists and slides down chimneys.You think he's harmless.He isn't.The Real Saint Nicholas rips the red suit off the legend and shows you the man underneath: a battle-scarred bishop with a broken jaw, an iron ring grown into his bone, and a tomb that has wept myrrh for 1,700 years.He was born to wealth and walked away from it. He spent eight years in a Roman prison for refusing to deny Christ. He slapped a heretic in front of the Emperor Constantine and was stripped of his office that same night - only to have Christ and His Mother restore him in a cell, placing the bishop's pallium back on his shoulders with their own hands.He fed a starving city with grain that was in two places at once.He threw himself before an executioner's sword and dared a corrupt governor to kill him first.He walked into an inn, smelled death beneath the salt, and called three murdered boys out of a barrel by name.He died. The miracles didn't stop.Seven centuries later, sailors broke into his tomb and stole his bones. The East wept. The West rejoiced. Then the world tried to bury him a second time - under Coca-Cola ads, department store Santas, and flying reindeer.It didn't work.Because the real Nicholas is still here.He's in the pawnbroker's sign. In the sailor's prayer when the mast snaps. In the father who goes hungry so his daughter can eat. In every secret gift given without credit. In every person who chooses to stand between the sword and the innocent and say, kill me first.This is not a fairy tale. This is the story of the most dangerous bishop who ever lived.From Myra to every chimney. From a prison cell to every port on earth.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - He was the angriest man in France. He became the most beloved.At nineteen, Francis de Sales signed a vow in his own blood: For today, I will not be angry. Tormented by fear, anxiety, and rage at a God he thought impossible to please, he fell to his knees and begged for mercy.God answered.This is not the saint you think you know.This is the bishop who won enemies with kindness instead of force.

Start again.He never led armies.He never called down fire.He changed the world anyway.Francis de Sales taught the angry how to become gentle.The anxious how to rest.The scrupulous how to breathe.The exhausted how to trust God one day at a time.His words transformed millions, inspiring saints like Thérèse of Lisieux and proving holiness was possible not just in monasteries, but in kitchens, workplaces, sleepless nights, and ordinary lives.This book is not just history. It's an invitation.For the angry.For the anxious.For the weary.For everyone who has ever whispered, 'I'm not enough.'The saint who answers: You are loved. Now begin again.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Woman Who Dared - And Died AfireShe found God. Then she lost Him. Then she found Him in the losing.Meet the saint the Church waited 709 years to canonize.Angela of Foligno was a widow, a mother, a sinner, and-by the judgment of her time-a heretic. She wrote no books, studied no theology in universities, and yet was called Magistra Theologorum-Teacher of Theologians-because her life became her doctrine.She died before death.This is not a story of visions and ecstasy. It is a story of ash. Of silence. Of absence that becomes encounter.Not fire. Stone.Not rapture. Remain.Not 'I saw God.''I saw nothing.''He is the dark.''And by dying.''The soul sees God in nothing, and both are He.'For years, heaven went silent. The visions stopped. The presence she once felt vanished. The Church she loved questioned her path. And the God she encountered in suffering seemed to disappear.And still-she remained.On the floor. In the no. In the silence. In the stripped-down place where only the self is left.There, she discovered what she called perfect poverty: not the absence of possessions, but the absence of the 'I' that clings.This book is for you if: You pray, but hear only silenceYou love God, but feel abandoned by HimYou once felt fire, but now live in drynessYou fear that emptiness means failureYou want holiness, but feel unqualified for itThis is not a book about how to feel God.It is a book about how to remain His when you feel nothing.Angela's path will unsettle you. It will strip illusions. It will leave you in your own silence, your own loss, your own Foligno. But it will also reveal something deeper than feeling.Not 'I Am' as experience.But 'I Am' as being.Is is enough.Is is presence without sensation.Is is God when God is not felt.The dare is simple: What are you still holding onto that keeps you from Him The invitation is quieter: Stay. Remain. Do not leave the silence.The promise is stark: He is. Even when He is not felt.This is the theology of scars.This is the faith of remaining.This is the woman who dared-and died afire.This is you.…
