When we go into combat; Doss; you're not comin' back alive. I'm gonna shoot you myself! The men of the 77th Infantry Division couldn't fathom why Private Desmond T. Doss would venture into the horrors of World War II without a single weapon to defend himself. "You're nothing but a coward!" they said. But the soft–spoken medic insisted that his mission was to heal; not kill. This page–turner will keep you riveted to your seat as you discover how Desmond Doss became the first conscientious objector to receive the Medal of Honor. Desmond's dramatic true story of integrity; redemption; and heroism will inspire you to live by the courage of your convictions. * Original book that inspired Mel Gibson's movie; Hacksaw Ridge * Story inspires faith; trust; courage; commitment; and dedication * An exciting true story of an incredible war hero

Church Ministries and Politics work hand in handBy Barbara NicholsIf you are looking for ways to meet people's needs today - this book gives insights as to how good works at the parish level and politics can work together to make everyone's life better.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A hopeful guide to common good; not just for Catholic readersBy Brian StiltnerRubio proposes that the potential for developing common ground is strong when people focus on the local sphere; the space between the personal and the political. Rubio practices what she preaches; exhibiting a conversational tone and open-minded vision throughout. While focused on Catholic sources and issues; the book is by no means narrow. Not only other Christians but all people have to face the social issues discussed here--poverty; abortion; end-of-life care; and family welfare--and it matters to all citizens how religious communities are addressing them. Therefore; this book is a great launching point for honest conversations in churches; in colleges courses (religious or note); and perhaps Catholic high school courses. The book deserves a wide readership within and outside Catholic circles.
