Un testimonio que no es ajeno al dolor ni a la duda. Un viaje desde la subcultura gay hacia una nueva vida. Un diario del descubrimiento de la fe católica. David Morrison nos ofrece un impresionante testimonio en el que no es ajeno al dolor ni a la duda. Esta es la historia de su viaje desde una activa subcultura gay hacia una nueva vida. Este es su diario del descubrimiento de la fe catolica. Es una historia de conversion real, en carne y hueso, similar a los dificiles ecos de San Agustin; el tipo de historias que permanecen mucho tiempo en la memoria. Pero cuidado: Cualquiera que busque un estimulo espiritual al azar, o una rapida lectura con la que ocupar su tiempo libre, deberia cerrar inmediatamente este libro. Apremiante, lo es. Conmovedor, tambien. El autor no cree que se haga un servicio a la verdad cuando se revisa la fe cristiana para aprobar o dar espacio a la actividad homosexual. Al contrario, piensa que no es solo moralmente erronea, sino que es destructiva porque aleja a la persona de Dios y del autentico bien humano. Sin embargo, al mismo tiempo, escribe con gran delicadeza, equilibrio, inteligencia y respeto hacia aquellos que intentan dar un sentido a su homosexualidad. El amor de Dios por todos sus hijos, no importa cuales sean sus condicionamientos personales, nunca falla. Y el significado de la sexualidad humana y de la llamada cristiana a la castidad se dirige a todo el mundo con la misma fuerza y el mismo amor. Una de las mejores explicaciones y apologias de etica sexual. No solo acepta lo que la Iglesia enseña, sino que lo comprende con su corazon, como quiza unicamente alguien que ha pagado un alto precio por encontrar la verdad puede hacerlo Charles J. Chaput, Arzobispo de Denver.

In 2013 it is possible that Israel, backed by the United States, will launch an attack on Iran. This would be a catastrophic event, risking war, bloodshed and global economic collapse. In this passionate, but rationally argued essay, the authors attempt to avert a potential global catastrophe by showing that the grounds for war do not exist, that there is no evidence of an ongoing Iranian nuclear weapons programme, and that Iran would happily come to a table and strike a deal. They argue that the military threats aimed by the West against Iran contravene international law, and that Iran is not a pariah state but a legitimate power across the Middle East. For years Peter Oborne and David Morrison have, in their respective fields, examined the actions of our political classes and found them wanting. Now they have joined forces to make a powerful case against military action. Ten years on from the war in Iraq, will the politicians listen?
