Bøger af Edward F. Mannino

The core theme of this book is that the justices, both liberal and conservative, do not simply call balls and strikes, as Chief Justice Roberts memorably stated, in formulating their decisions. Instead, as shown in some 200 cases, they have expanded or limited prior precedent, created new rights, and eliminated others.

Drawing heavily upon quotations from the Gospels, the letters of Saint Paul, and from the Fathers of the Church, other saints, biblical commentaries, and current writers on spirituality, Ed Mannino provides a series of meditations, beginning with each of the Beatitudes. These mediations can be used in one's prayer life in multiple ways, but are designed to be used over the course of one month for personal reflection and devotion.
