For Sarah Krasnostein it begins with a Mennonite choir performing on a subway platform a fleeting moment of witness that sets her on a fascinating journey to find out why people need to believe in absolute truths and what happens when their beliefs crash into her own Some of the people Krasnostein interviews believe in things many people do not Ghosts UFOs The literal creation of the universe in six days Some believe in things most people would like to Dying with dignity and autonomy Facing up to our transgressions with truthfulness Living with integrity and compassion By turns devastating and delighting and captured in snapshotvivid detail these six profiles with a death doula a geologist who believes the world is six thousand years old a lecturer in neurobiology who spends his weekends ghost hunting the fiancé of a disappeared pilot and UFO enthusiasts a woman incarcerated for killing her husband after suffering years of domestic violence and Mennonite families in New York will leave you convinced that the most ordinaryseeming people are often the most remarkable and that deep and abiding commonalities can be found within the greatest differences Vivid unconventional entertaining and full of wonder Krasnostein interweaves the stories of these believers with compassion and empathy culminating in an unforgettable tour of the human condition that cuts to the core of who we are as people and what were doing on this earth. adjectivesadverbs Beginning End Middle ull t po in ts to w ri what th ma in pa ts o you sto y w ll be ach ull t po in t w ll be a d ifferen t par a Try to use some of these words to start your sentences and paragraphs 5745957461574445744457445574545 Journal Issue 40 April 2012 1 of 3 www.redcliffe.org/ encounters Westerners’ I nvolvement in P rojects in Africa: Hindrance, Help or N ecessity?

From the bestselling author of How the Irish Saved Civilization, a fascinating look at how medieval thinkers created the origins of modern intellectual movements.After the long period of decline known as the Dark Ages, medieval Europe experienced a rebirth of scholarship, art, literature, philosophy, and science and began to develop a vision of Western society that remains at the heart of Western civilization today, from the entry of women into professions that had long been closed to them to the early investigations into alchemy that would form the basis of experimental science. On visits to the great cities of Europe-monumental Rome the intellectually explosive Paris of Peter Abelard and Thomas Aquinas the hotbed of scientific study that was Oxford and the incomparable Florence of Dante and Giotto-acclaimed historian Thomas Cahill brilliantly captures the spirit of experimentation, the colorful pageantry, and the passionate pursuit of knowledge that built the foundations for the modern world.
