Asking the Pope to abandon or water down Catholic doctrine would be like asking him to abolish his own office. Joseph Ratzinger has been the most powerful figures in the Catholic Chuirch after John Paul II for decades. It is entirely right that he should have the opportunity to serve the Church as Pope for he is so obviously head and shoulders above the rest. And yet Benedict XVI remains a mysterious figure who has operated from behind closed doors-most recently the doors of the Congregation for the Doctrine of The Faith in Rome. There will be studies of Ratzinger's theology. Indeed there have already been such. But who is the man of flesh blood and spirit behind the not so public persona. Laurence Paul Hemming has observed the Papacy and the events leading up to the election of the present Pope meticulously. He has written a charming and warm portrait of The Holy Father to make this highly intellectual man more accessible to a wide public. When Benedict XVI declared himself 'a simple and humble labourer in the Lord's vineyard' he gave the world an early indication of his style. A passionate defender of the Faith yet a man anxious to listen. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Biography & Autobiography; ISBN: 0860124096. ISBN/EAN: 9780860124092.

ABOUT THIS BOOK: Paul Hogan first appeared on Australia's screens in 1971 as a 'tap-dancing knife thrower' on TV talent show New Faces. The then father of four and Sydney Harbour Bridge rigger from Granville did it as a dare but when the network's switchboard lit up he was invited back. So popular was he with viewers Hogan became a regular on Mike Willesee's A Current Affair. The rest as they say is history. In collaboration with his business partner and best friend John Cornell who played his sidekick Strop 'Hoges' went on to become Australia's favourite TV comedian. His hugely popular comedy shows and appearances in unforgettable and ground-breaking ads for cigarettes beer and tourism came to personify Australia and Australians here and overseas helping to change the perception of who we are as people and as a nation. Then in 1986 Crocodile Dundee the movie he conceived co-wrote and starred in became an international smash hit and earned its star a Golden Globe Award as well as Oscar and BAFTA nominations. Despite the fact that Hoges claimed to have retired many more successful movies followed. Yet even as his star rose ever higher he always expected someone to grab him by the arm and say 'What are you doing here You're just a bloody rigger!' The Tap-Dancing Knife Thrower is a funny and candid account of the astonishing life of this 'lucky bastard' as Hoges describes himself. Full of stories never previously shared and recounted in the comedian's inimitable funny and self-deprecating style The Tap-Dancing Knife Thrower is Paul Hogan's story told his way - 'without the boring bits'.

This is the first Australian edition. CONDITION: This book is in good condition but dust jacket is not included. Gift inscription in ink. ABOUT THIS BOOK: The Song of Bernadette is a reverent recounting of the life of St. Bernadette of Lourdes. As a teen-aged peasant girl growing up in the tiny French village of Lourdes in the 19th century Bernadette experiences a vision of the Virgin Mary in a nearby grotto. At least she believes that she did. The religious and political "experts" of the region cannot accept the word of a silly little girl and do their best to get her to renounce her claims. Bernadette's vision becomes a political hot potato for many years with the authorities alternately permitting and denying the true believers' access to the grotto. No matter what the higher-ups may think of Bernadette there is little denying that the springs of Lourdes hold some sort of recuperative powers for the sick and lame. Eventually Bernadette dies never faltering in her conviction that she saw the Blessed Virgin; years later she is canonized as a saint and the Grotto of Lourdes remains standing as a permanent shrine.

Edges of covers have superficial wear. Spine has minimal reading creases. . Pages are reasonably tanned. ABOUT THIS BOOK: "The Exile: Portrait of an American Mother" is Pearl S. Buck's intensely moving memoir of her mother Caroline Carrie Stulting Sydenstricker whoset off to China as the bride of a zealous Presbyterian missionary in 1880. She would spend the rest of her life there enduring a harsh isolated existence in the poor hostile interior of China. She struggled to keep her family safe and healthy her first three children dying young and the fourth Pearl narrowly escaping the same fate. Carrie's husband was often far away preaching and even when at home he was a distant figure whose singular focus on "the Work" brought hardship to the family. With courage and determination Carrie persisted successfully raising the family and administering to the Chinese in practical informal ways. "Fighting Angel: Portrait of a Soul" is Pearl S. Buck's profoundly touching memoir of her zealous Southern Presbyterian missionary father Absalom Sydenstricker. Andrew as he is called in the book set off for China in 1880 and spent most of the next half century there until his death in 1931. From isolated settlements in the poor hostile interior he made long preaching trips through lands convulsed by famine banditry and revolution. Sydenstricker was a tragic Captain Ahab figure whose life's work brought only a trickle of converts. His battles against church authorities - he was ahead of his time in wanting local Christians to be given greater power and in pushing for vernacular Chinese texts - meant ostracism by his colleagues and superiors. Above all his fanatical devotion brought death and suffering to his family. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Biography & Autobiography; Inventory No: 23090086. Pan Books paperback‎

Dust jacket is unclipped. Edges of pages are slightly foxed. . Front free end page has been removed. ABOUT THIS BOOK: Some say that the first hint that Bill Bryson was not of Planet Earth came when his mother sent him to school in lime-green Capri pants. Others think it all started with his discovery at the age of six of a woollen jersey of rare fineness. Across the moth-holed chest was a golden thunderbolt. It may have looked like an old college football sweater but young Bryson knew better. It was obviously the Sacred Jersey of Zap and proved that he had been placed with this innocuous family in the middle of America to fly become invisible shoot guns out of people's hands from a distance and wear his underpants over his jeans in the manner of Superman. Bill Bryson's first travel book opened with the immortal line 'I come from Des Moines. Somebody had to.' In his deeply funny new memoir he travels back in time to explore the ordinary kid he once was and the curious world of 1950s America. It was a happy time when almost everything was good for you including DDT cigarettes and nuclear fallout. This is a book about growing up in a specific time and place. But in Bryson's hands it becomes everyone's story one that will speak volumes - especially to anyone who has ever been young. Quantity Available: 1.
