As the third volume in the series including The Hidden Ground of Love (1985) and The Road to Joy (1989), this collection features Thomas Merton's letters to members of religious communities around the world. Merton's questions about the monastic life, sometimes radical and disturbing, either arose from what was happening in his own experience or reflected the extraordinary changes that followed Vatican Council II.

Students experiencing homelessness often face overwhelming obstacles that limit both their access to education and their prospects for success in life. The McKinney-Vento Act (1987) was created to ensure that schools provide services that support students in unstable housing situations but, unfortunately, effective implementation of important provisions continues to be elusive. In addition, adults charged with McKinney-Vento implementation in schools voice frustration with overload and lack of support or consistent resources. Through interviews with youth experiencing homelessness, Aviles de Bradley introduces readers to their remarkable resilience under fire and their determination to thrive despite the systemic inequities they encounter daily. The book also explores how poor people of colour experience and interface with social institutions, namely schools, and uncovers important connections between homelessness and racism using a Critical Race Theory framework. Readers are challenged to see McKinney-Vento implementation not as charity, but as an issue of legislated social justice and to work towards educational equity for students experiencing homelessness.

A profound and spiritual reflection on the Nicene Creed, the basis of Catholic belief. These meditations, based upon the principal articles of the Nicene Creed, were originally presented by Evelyn Underhill (1875 –1941) at a retreat she conducted at her beloved Pleshy, a small village in England that was the site of her conversion to the Christian faith. The renewed interest in mysticism and spirituality today among Christians of all communions draws heavily from her work. The popularity and use of her books by scholar, lay people, and clergy attest to the originality of her writings and the helpfulness of her spiritual direction.

In this reappraisal of charity in the biblical tradition, Anderson argues that the poor constituted the privileged place where Jews and Christians met God. He shows how charity affirms the goodness of the created order; the world was created through charity and therefore rewards it.

When 10 Brothers of Charity left Ghent (Belgium) as missionaries in 1928, little did they know about the fascinating events that would shape their lives and the life of those fortunate enough to cross their path in Southern Africa. Driven by an unwavering determination to succeed, exposed to the whims of nature and the political turmoil of the times, they would create a concept, an institution, a school that would for almost fifty years carry with it the seal of learning, of beauty and divine providence. The Pietersburg College would not turn out to be the only feather in their cap - the black mission Pax in Doornspruit and the St Conrad's Brothers of Charity College in Klerksdorp would also bear testimony to their courage, their inventiveness and their ability to adapt to changing circumstances. In the end, as in all human endeavour, life would take its toll and the College of the Little Flower - Brothers of Charity College (Pietersburg- Polokwane -South Africa ) would form no exception to that.This well-researched historical book is a tribute to those missionary-teachers who made it happen but also to those men and women of every creed and race who seconded them, mainly the Benedictines, the Dominican Sisters of Siena Newcastle, the King's Sisters and the Sisters of Charity of Heule. The preface of this richly illustrated book was written by Brother René Stockman, Superior-General of the Brothers of Charity worldwide.
