6/12/2023 0 Comments The stars we steal by alexa donnethis also really inspired me to pick up ‘persuasion’ by jane austen, which this is a retelling of. which could be seen as forced characterisation, but i thought it was refreshing. there is a great range of representation present. However, this story does have some positives. in addition to pacing issues and an undeveloped plot, the writing really leaves much to be desired. just being told isnt good enough and a reader deserves more. i dont want to be told leo and elliot have a connection, i want to see it. it completely ruins any sort of opportunity which may have been present for me to really connect with the characters, especially because the romance is key to the plot. Its an extremely lazy method of writing and honestly drags the story down. meaning the reader is told something happens, rather than shown it. This book commits a very unfortunate crime against readers, which is it solely relies on a telling narrative, not a showing narrative. 6/12/2023 0 Comments Gracias by Henri J.M. NouwenThe books are aimed at a new generation of spiritual seekers. This September is the 20 th anniversary of his death, and religion and spirituality publishers are marking the occasion by releasing rarely seen writings as well as new editions of his bestselling works. They are still the questions we ask today,” Earnshaw told PW. “He talks about questions such as who is God, what is the meaning of life, how can I make a difference. Nouwen is credited as one of the first writers to suggest that spirituality was important to more people than just clergy members and church officials, and his definition of being a Christian included growing in a relationship with God, taking responsibility for mistakes, and asking, “How can I live a fruitful life?” Editor-in-chief and publisher of Orbis Books Robert Ellsberg, who was a friend of Nouwen’s for 20 years, called him “one of the most influential, important spiritual writers of the 20 th century,” and Gabrielle Earnshaw, founding Henri Nouwen archivist at Toronto’s University of Saint Michaels College, said the prolific author is just as relevant now as he was during his lifetime. Nouwen captured the attention of spiritual seekers around the world with his thoughts on religion, which were rooted in psychology, social justice, and community.

Written with passion and sincerity, the contributions within it convey a degree of awareness, knowledge and inspiration that we hope will contribute to further strengthening the promise and the practice of UN leadership. This publication frames the bigger picture of UN leadership and presents experiences and ideas that speak to both its reality and potential. Poor leadership explains, to some extent, why the UN at times under-delivers on its promise, and why people lose faith in the organisation. But both the source of the doubt and the answer lie with the UN – its leadership culture and in leadership manifested by its professionals. Indeed, despite significant achievements since the organisation’s creation, public debate tends to focus on what is not delivered instead of what has been achieved. No sphere of human activity and no institution escape the interrogation, and perhaps nowhere else more than at the United Nations.įew would dispute that better leadership is essential for ensuring trust in the UN and in multilateralism, and for delivering more effective responses to today’s global challenges. The issue seems to be on everyone’s mind. Yet, efforts to understand leadership and to diagnose, even perhaps remedy, what some refer to as the lack, or the end or even the death of leadership in today’s world have only intensified over the past few years. Leadership, like art, is a fluid and lived experience, making it hard to define. 6/11/2023 0 Comments All different now bookWas a BU Today and Bostonia associate editor.
