A powerful collection of black-and-white photographs and inspirational text strikingly reveals the faces of the desperately poor throughout the world. Created by a Hollywood film producer turned documentary filmmaker who has chosen to devote his work to the world hunger cause, this dramatic and compassionate volume captures the plight of impoverished people in nations as diverse as the United States, Canada, Mexico, Italy, India, Jamaica, the Philippines, and Kenya. Accompanying this startling and disquieting series of intensely personal photographs are aphorisms; quotations from noted spiritual writers of different faiths; and statistics and short essays telling the poignant story of the homeless and the poor. Yet more than merely exposing just the agony of life in the slums, these profoundly passionate photographs open our eyes with wordless tenderness to the spirit and humanity of destitute people the world over, their hidden joy and uplifting will to survive. Graced with a foreword by best-selling author Murray Bodo, OFM.

Even Sigmund Freud didn't know the answer to the question, "what do women want?" but maybe that's because he hadn't read the right book--this perfect gift for a man looking for ways to pamper the woman in his life. It's also for women to share with each other and give to their men! It's all here--a creative, fun, and romantic guide to meeting the wants and desires deep in the heart of every woman. Included are dozens of ways to spark a new romance, keep a love light burning, or rekindle an extinguished flame. Some ideas are simple but imaginative, like planting a rose bush instead of handing her soon-to-be-dead flowers, or buying her three favorite books and inscribing them to her. Or, consider a major show-stopper like buying her a car from the year she was born!

You'll find the answer in the Mack Brown philosophy of life, as revealed in this chronicle of his favorite stories and insights. It's not just about football but about winning in life--about the teamwork it takes to succeed, to work together as "one heartbeat."

Italian-bred Mafalda Fallai spent her whole life cooking-gathering free greens from nature, arguing about quality with hapless shopkeepers, and preparing sumptuous meals even when leaving her native Florence to visit her son and his family on Long Island. The co-authors, a husband-and-wife team, along with a food writer, serve up 60 of Mafalda's favorite recipes, which run the gamut from gourmet to peasant-style, and bring Florentine and Umbrian influence to a cookbook like no other. Dishes range across every course of a meal, providing unique treatments such as Spaghetti with Truffle Sauce, Chops Livornese, Tuna with Canneloni Beans, Cream Puffs with Crema Chantilly, Grape Cake, and Zuppa Inglese. While you're waiting between the cooking steps that are clearly provided, enjoy reading a proud son's remembrances of his mother's explanations as to why hers is the only way to prepare each dish, along with droll illustrations by Mafalda's daughter-in-law.
