Book Synopsis The Book of Tom by : Tom Schellenbach
Download or read book The Book of Tom written by Tom Schellenbach and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-02 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this unsparing memoir, Tom Schellenbach, a gay former Franciscan priest, chronicles his personal evolution while studying for and serving for five decades within the Catholic Church. Tom retraces his experiences from his childhood in Hamilton, Ohio as one of 13 children, to his entry into the seminary at the age of 14 which ultimately led to his becoming a priest, his leaving the priesthood but still working for the Church, his resignation, and finding his true love.Set against the swift cultural changes of the 60s, 70s and 80s, the Church remained stubbornly unwilling to acknowledge the cultural changes that were reshaping the attitudes of their parishioners and the priests who served them. The Church's resistance to change ultimately led Tom to leave the priesthood to pursue a life of uncompromising authenticity. His work as a priest took him from the verdant hollers of rural Kentucky to the spare, open beauty of Navajo country in the southwest. His story offers a rare look into the life of a priest, revealing the loneliness and alienation many priests struggle with as they pursue their dedication to serve. On the cusp of his third decade of service in the Church, Tom succumbed to a crisis of faith and identity. He details his halting exit from the priesthood, and his coming out at a time when homosexuality was more commonly met with hostility and fear. Yet there was no turning back. Gone was his "safe" identity he had shaped since his early teens. His life was his to begin again. The Book of Tom is an important memoir that lays bare the challenges of stark truthfulness and honesty faced when answering the call to authenticity -- no matter our path in life. It reflects the Catholic Church's failure to lead with compassion during a time of cultural change, and it highlights a critical inflection point in our culture's long-overdue evolution to acceptance of those in the LGBT+ community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With nine victories, he holds the record for the most wins at the Le Mans 24 Hours -- and he has written motorsport history. Tom Kristensen: The Book, however, is more than just Tom Kristensen's chronicle of his successes at Le Mans: it takes the reader on an exciting journey through four decades full of emotions -- from petrol pumps at his parents' filling station in Denmark to champagne showers in front of 250,000 fans at the world's greatest motor race. Private and never-seen-before pictures, untold stories, new facts and personal insights as told by Kristensen himself make The Book unique. Early years: growing up in Denmark; a close-knit, happy, supportive family; huge success in karting; from penniless talent to Formula 3 champion, in Germany in 1991. Four successful years in Japan: a second Formula 3 title, with the Tom's team in 1993; starring in Formula 3000; showing his versatility in touring cars; living a different life in Japan. Back to Europe: flashes of brilliance in Formula 3000; racing for Honda in touring cars, including in Britain's BTCC; tastes of Formula 1 with test roles at Tyrrell and Williams, and for Michelin. Victory at Le Mans as a rookie in 1997, with Joest Racing's TWR-Porsche; two fruitless Le Mans outings with BMW follow, but there is another famous début win, in the Sebring 12 Hours in 1999. Audi works driver: Le Mans hat-trick, 2000-2002, each time with Frank Biela and Emanuele Pirro in the all-conquering R8 -- a unique achievement. Bentley Boy, winning Le Mans in 2003; two more Le Mans wins with privateer teams, Team Goh (2004) and Champion Racing (2005), both in Audi R8s. Diesel-powered: epic fights with Peugeot, none more so than at Le Mans in 2008, an incredible race that brought Kristensen his eighth victory there. His darkest moment: the horrific crash at Hockenheim on 22 April 2007, driving an Audi A4 touring car -- but he recovers in time for Le Mans eight weeks later. Going global: racing the Audi T18 worldwide; World Champion in 2013, his most successful season, which also brings a highly emotional ninth Le Mans victory. Concluding sections: thoughts on fitness and teamwork; his favourite cars, races and tracks; complete results listing. Published in a very large, sumptuous format to best display its superb photographs, Tom Kristensen: The Book will be treasured by the Danish hero's legions of fans and all motorsport enthusiasts captivated by the Le Mans 24 Hours.
Book Synopsis Goodnight Mister Tom by : Michelle Magorian
Download or read book Goodnight Mister Tom written by Michelle Magorian and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2010-06-03 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Puffin Classics: the definitive collection of timeless stories, for every child. Tom tucked a blanket round him, drew up a chair by the fire and watched Willie fall asleep. The tales he had heard about evacuees didn't seem to fit Willie. 'Ungrateful' and 'wild' were the adjectives he had heard used, or just plain 'homesick'. He was quite unprepared for this timid, sickly little specimen. Britain, 1940. With World War Two raging all around, young children are being sent from their homes in the city to the countryside for safety. When eight-year-old Willie Beech first arrives on Tom Oakley's doorstep, neither are quite sure what to make of each another. Brought up in terrible poverty, Willie is terribly shy, and totally unprepared for village life - but the gruff-but-gentle 'Mister Tom' quickly takes him under his wing. Neither he nor Willie could ever have predicted the journey they will go on together - nor the unbreakable bond that will be formed. Winner of the Guardian Children's Fiction Award, and rightly hailed as a true classic of children's literature, Goodnight Mister Tom is a beautifully told, deeply moving story about the power of friendship, kindness, hope - and love. 'Everyone's idea of a smash-hit novel: full-blown characters to love and hate, moments of grief and joy, and a marvellous story that knows just how to grab the emotions' - Guardian
