St. Ignatius' Own Story: As Told to Luis Gonzalez de Camara with a Sampling of Ignatius' Own Letters
by William J. Young S.J. Saint Ignatius of LoyolaThis book, one in the series "Library of Living Catholic Thought," is published in special commemoration of the Ignatian Year - the four-hundredth anniversary of the death of St. Ignatius Loyola. This is an account of days remembered by the saint and dictated by him to his faithful disciple, González de Cámara. It covers the period from his wounding and surrender to the French at Pamplona in 1521 to the time of his coming to Rome in November 1537. St. Ignatius dictated his story only after long and continuous pressure on the part of his spiritual sons to give them some account of his founding of the Society of Jesus. Father de Cámara was fortunately gifted with an extraordinary memory. He took notes as Ignatius dictated, and later wrote out at greater length the discourse as he remembered hearing it from the lips of Ignatius, making use even of his very words. The dictation, as was to be expected, was brief and summary and to the point, with no attempt at literary polish. In the translation some attempt has been made to preserve the rather homespun texture of the language. Latin versions were early available, but this book represents the first translation into English from the original text.-Print ed.
St. Maria Goretti: In Garments All Red
by Godfrey Robert Poage C.P.MARIA GORETTI was not yet 12 years old when she was faced with that momentous decision in July of 1902: Sin or death. Maria's answer to her assailant was clear: "No! No! It is a sin! God does not want this!" Alessandro stabbed Maria 14 times, and little Maria became another virgin martyr in the line of St. Agnes and St. Cecilia.Here is the beautiful true story of Maria's virtuous life that led to her heroic choice, of the Goretti family's terrible poverty, Maria's First Holy Communion, her great maturity in shouldering adult responsibilities, her forgiveness of her murderer, her lingering death, then finally her public elevation to sainthood in 1950--in the presence of her mother, her family and the largest crowd ever before seen at a canonization--over half a million people.A contemporary classic, this is truly a book for all--because people of any age will be inspired by St. Maria Goretti's purity and love of God--which triumphed over her love for life and even over the anonymity of death.

This book will be of great interest to students and scholars in voice studies, opera, music theatre, musicology, directing, performance studies, practice-based research, theatre, visual art, stage design, and cultural studies.

Stand in Confidence: From Sinking in Insecurity to Rising in Your God-Given Identity
by Amanda PittmanEsther Press Presents Stand in Confidence by Amanda Pittman Culture, church, and life have sold us narratives about who we&’re supposed to be as women. If we play the part well, we gain love, acceptance, validation, and significance. When we don&’t know which role to play from one day to the next, we sink in insecurity. We feel driven to people-please, downplay, settle, and perform. In all this, we accept less than the abundant life Jesus died to give us. Amanda Pittman, founder of Confident Woman Co., explains how we can rewrite their damaging self-beliefs with the truth about our God-given identity by establishing the Four Components of Confidence: Clarity—Embrace our identity and define our designConnection—Connect with God and connect with othersCompetency—Develop our ability and expand our capacityConviction—Know our responsibility and use our authority With a new perspective and focus, we will stand confidently upon the finished work of Jesus and live boldly in our God-given callings.

Stand Out
by Dorie ClarkStanding out is no longer optionalToo many people believe that if they keep their heads down and work hard, they'll be recognized on the merits of their work. But that's simply not true anymore. "Safe" jobs disappear daily, and the clamor of everyday life drowns out ordinary contributions. To make a name for yourself, to create true job security, and to make a difference in the world, you have to share your unique perspective and inspire others to take action. But in a noisy world where it seems everything's been said--and shouted from the rooftops--how can your ideas stand out?Fortunately, you don't have to be a genius or a worldwide superstar to make an impact. Drawing on interviews with more than fifty thought leaders in fields ranging from business to genomics to urban planning, Dorie Clark shows how these masters achieved success and how anyone--with hard work--can do the same. Whether it's learning to ask the right questions, developing and building on an expert niche, or combining disparate fields to get a new perspective, Clark outlines ways to develop the ideas that set you apart.Of course, having a breakthrough insight is only half the battle. If you really want to share your ideas, you have to find a way to build an audience, communicate your message, and inspire others to embrace your vision. Starting small is fine; Clark provides a step-by-step guide to help you leverage your existing networks, attract new people to your cause, and, ultimately, build a community around your ideas.Featuring vivid examples based on interviews with influencers such as Seth Godin, David Allen, and Daniel Pink, Clark shows you how to break through and ensure that your ideas get noticed. Becoming a thought leader in your company or in your profession is the ultimate career insurance. But--even more important--it's also a chance to change the world for the better.

Stand Out: A real world guide to get clear, find purpose and become the boss of busy
by Alison HillTools, tips and strategies to stop the cycle of 'busy' and start getting ahead Stand Out shows you how to stop working so much, and start achieving instead. Everyone is busy, but working harder to do more isn't getting us anywhere. We're overwhelmed, distracted and detached, and our greatest fear is that this will never change. This book is your guide to taking back your life. Through simple models, robust diagnostics and practical suggestions you'll identify where you are now and how to implement real change. Explore how to move on from Check Out (the sense that you are just going through the motions), combat Burn Out (the feeling that you're on a treadmill that is dialled too fast for your legs, brain and talents to keep pace with) and move through Freak Out (that overriding anxiety generated by knowing where you want to go but not getting any traction). Real-life stories, anecdotes and 'life hacks' provide ideas you can implement immediately, while in-depth discussion of psychological theory explains the science behind the actions. The goal is not to find your One True Passion, but to identify what's most important right now. When you're clear on purpose and actually making progress, you hit the sweet spot of activity that allows your talents to shine. The concept of 'being at work' has changed. We're expected to be plugged in 24/7, and continually expected to do more and more with the same 24 hours in every day. Organisations suffer, families suffer and workers suffer - so why do we perpetuate this cycle? This book shows you how to hop off the hamster wheel and thrive through relentless change by doing less - but by doing it smarter. Treat self-care as an imperative for success Connect to what's important here and now Stop day-dreaming and put action to purpose Take control of your day, your path and your life It's not about productivity training or the latest organisational system - it's about having the tools, mindset and skills in place to make your activities work for you. Stand Out helps you find the courage and optimism to live the life you crave, let go of the 'shoulds' and shows you how to prioritise what really matters.
Stand Out Networking
by Dorie ClarkFew professional activities are as nerve-wracking as networking. There's the paralyzing prospect of entering a room full of strangers. The awkward introductions and stilted small talk. The concern that "networking" means you have to exploit others for personal gain - or might appear that way. It's no wonder so many talented professionals eschew networking altogether. Unfortunately, that means they're limiting their chances of making the kind of great personal and professional connections that can expand their worldview, enrich their lives, and - yes - even lead to new business opportunities. That's why it's time to reclaim networking. It doesn't have to be the province of users and takers; instead, as Forbes and Harvard Business Review contributor Dorie Clark makes clear in this short and actionable guide, networking done right is nothing like the stereotype. It's not about making shallow, insincere connections and filling your wallet with business cards. Instead, the real goal is to turn brief encounters into mutually-beneficial and lasting friendships--in both your personal and professional life. Drawing on wisdom from her own experience and from experts like psychologist Robert Cialdini, marketer Michael Katz, and authors Judy Robinett and Keith Ferrazzi, Clark provides valuable insight on how to be a good networker, including concrete tips on how to: - Turn initial small talk into meaningful exchanges - Unlock the power of social media as a networking tool - Transform casual online contacts into real-world connections - Make the most of conferences - Set a schedule for keeping in regular touch with your network - Repair and strengthen troubled relationships - Create your own events and become a connector Whether you're an introvert or extrovert, and whether you currently relish or loathe making new connections, Clark will teach you the strategies you need to make networking fun, joyful, and enriching.
