In the wake of the French Revolution and other upheavals, Don Bosco (1815–1888) and other nineteenth-century founders and spiritual leaders contributed to the development of spiritual practices and perspectives on the Christian life that have been described as the “Salesian Pentecost.” Here are translations of and commentaries on the little-known spiritual writings of Don Bosco, his collaborators, and his contemporaries involved in the Salesian Pentecost. These diverse persons, fully engaged in apostolic ministry or occupied with the demands of ordinary life as lay women and men, were at the same time engaged in conscious spiritual practices that sought the interior exchange of the heart of Jesus for the human heart.

Now, what purpose can this chronicle serve? It will be a record to help people overcome problems that may come in the future by learning from the past. It will serve to make known how God himself has always been our guide. It will give my sons some entertainment to be able to read about their father's adventures. Doubtless they will be read much more avidly when I have been called by God to render my account, when I am no longer among them. Should they come upon experiences related maybe with complacency or the appearance of vainglory, let them indulge me a little. A father delights in speaking of his exploits to his dear children. It is always to be hoped that the sons will draw from these adventures, small and great, some spiritual and temporal advantage. St John Bosco

This is the first analysis of Gandhi's dressing style in terms of communication theory and an exploration of the subliminal messages that were subtly communicated to a large audience. Peter Gonsalves chooses three famous theorists from the field of communication studies and looks at Gandhi through the lens of each one, to give us a fascinating and new insight into one of the most famous men from South Asia. Photographs of Gandhi in different phases of his life have been used to provide a visual chronology of sartorial change and emphasize the arguments in the book.

The book starts with the development of Salesian youth ministry in the post-Vatican II period. The change from a faithful and repetitive education towards a critical and future-centered approach brought multiple risks. Focusing on organizational aspects, we analyze the underlying theories and their anthropological paradigms, especially Management by Objectives. Then we turn back to the original and permanent criterion for any renewal - the experience of Don Bosco in the Valdocco Oratory. His leadership and management qualities, recent leadership concepts, solid bases of the Salesian Youth Ministry and creative experiments are sewn creatively together in an innovative proposal: 1. Creation of an integral anthropological framework; 2. Development of a set of virtues-qualities at the level of action mentality, shared leadership and operative management; 3. Proposal of a transformational project cycle that merges planning, community building and discernment.

Education is an art. Educational work, today, is considered a delicate task of accompaniment, a shared life project, inten- tionally proposed goals, and values assimilated by those who facilitate the educational experience itself: educators. Vitally linked to the educator is the student, the center of all educa- tional action in his own social context, in his personal dyna- mism, in his generational sensitivity, in his dreams, and in his aspirations. The educator and the student are key factors in the learning experience. Both are an essential element in the educational universe. Both are, metaphorically speaking, a binary star: two bodies with similar mass orbiting around a center of mass in elliptical orbits. In the absence, or loss of one of them, in the relationship or in their own individuality, the educational ex- perience itself is destroyed. Both must fluctuate in the role of each other, linked, but not assimilated. In this book, education is an art that touches the most sen- sitive fibers of the whole student: the heart. The heart is un- derstood as the center of decision-making, as the place where affections are clearly present, as the meeting point where will and reason converge, like the horizon in which educational love meets and intertwines with reason and openness to tran- scendence.
