Gloriously confined to my room with a cold while my husband manages the children Guilty but happy sigh I m currently in the middle of 6 books D oh Time to finish them up or admit defeat. Hope for the City epubor 60pgs into this dense book and having trouble proceedingPros Interesting look at a period in Detroit s history the riots white flight that I ve only heard about in rumors and hushed tones This book details the formation of Focus Hope a Catholic initiative that had a significant positive impact on Detroit at the time Lots of references to local people and places. Book hope for the flowers Cons Repeated narrative of progressive Catholics versus the church hierarchy Ughh The author is an ex seminarian who was supposedly hand picked by Fr Bill Cunningham the central figure to write his biography The priest did a lot of good through his Focus Hope organization But he doesn t seem like a likable person as depicted by the author despite the author s open admiration He was totally focused on his mission of developing the organization at the expense of all else He turned on volunteers if they left the organization to do other things He reportedly remarked frequently that he would leave the priesthood if it interfered with his Focus Hope agenda Lots of liberal tones and themes such as the use of a problem hurt to justify actions emotion based reasoning hyper prioritizing their own pet cause and vilifying opposition. Hope for the citykillerz The book is published by Cass Community Publishing a progressive start up publishing house But also has a recommendation from Former Detroit Mayor Dennis Archer a good guy Lots of potentially troubling information glorified and enhanced in this book I m wondering how close this version of history is to the truth It has a guilty pleasure aspect to it like eating junk food There is some nourishment there but it s mixed in with a lot of bad stuff. The audacity of hope pdf Disappointing Instead of highlighting how the Church helps the poor and the Catholic faith drives individuals to help others this book gives the impression that good people often accomplished things in spite of their faith and the church.
