Résultats pour "Susanna Tamaro" dans Femmes

Ogni settimana, per un anno, Susanna Tamaro scrive a un'amica lontana, Mathilda, che è tornata a vivere nel suo paese natale, l'Africa. Sono lettere che raccontano la vita quotidiana in campagna e parlano di amicizia, responsabilità, violenza, guerra, speranza, affrontando i temi fondamentali dell'esistenza. Ne nasce un diario che, con sguardo semplice e diretto, attraverso ricordi, incontri, pensieri, esortazioni e denunce, invita alla riflessione sulle piccole grandi questioni di cui la vita di ogni giorno è costellata. Con una nuova introduzione dell'autrice.

An intelligent, strong-willed woman, Susanna Wesley suffered much in a male-dominated world while she prepared her children to succeed in it. Her fiery, independent spirit is evident as Arnold Dallimore sets the mother of Methodism within her culture and time in England. Though Samuel Wesley figures prominently in his wife's story, as do John, Charles, and the other children, the story remains fixed on Susanna. Excerpts from Susanna Wesley's letters and writings of her husband and children are included.

This is the story of one of Church history's most revered women, the godly mother of John and Charles Wesley. This biography recounts the story of a woman who used her strong leadership and faith to raise well educated and spiritually disciplined children. Her unwavering devotion to God and family in the face of grief, poverty, and a sometimes difficult marriage is a tremendous inspiration.
