| One of the most important philosophy titles of the twentieth century, Leisure: the Basis of Culture is more significant, even more crucial, today than when it first appeared fifty years ago. Pieper shows that the Greeks understood and valued leisure, as did the medieval Europeans. He points out that religion can be born only in leisure"a leisure that allows time for the contemplation of the nature of God. Leisure has been, and always will be, the first foundation of any culture. He maintains that our bourgeois world of total labor has vanquished leisure, and he issues a startling warning: Unless we regain the art of silence and insight, the ability for nonactivity, unless we substitute true leisure for our hectic amusements, we will destroy our culture "and ourselves. |

| Leonie Martin was the least gifted of the four sisters of St. Therese of Lisieux. She was an emotionally disturbed child who suffered and caused anguish in her family. Her mother, the heroic Zelie Martin, suffered most of all. Marie Baudouin-Croix, well-known French poet, has examined Zelie's correspondence with her daughters, her sister, her brother, and her sister-in-law. We see the backward child, the despair of many, who was the first to follow Therese's Little Way. It was only after three valiant but unsuccessful attempts that Leonie was finally accepted by the Visitation Order at Caen. She succeeded in conquering a "tough" temperament, so that by the time of her death in 1941, at the age of seventy-eight, she was regarded as a saint and the convent at Caen was inundated with letters testifying to her posthumous aid. |

| Once Leota's garden had been a place of beauty and refuge from deep wounds, but now, it was forlorn and abandoned, like Leota herself. At eighty-four, Leota is alone, bereft of the companionship of her adult children, who never understood the sacrifices she had made for them. She voices her despair to a loving Father, her only friend. And God brings a wind of change through unlikely means: a student who thinks he has all the answers, and a granddaughter Leota thought she'd never get to know. But, can the pain and suffering brought about by keeping painful family secrets be healed before she runs out of time? With skill and sensitivity, Francine Rivers explores what happens when people make choices that affect the lives of those they love as well as succeeding generations, opening our eyes to an issue with both human and spiritual dimensions. Leota's Garden touches heart and spirit, pointing to the One whose resurrection from a Garden Tomb makes possible lasting peace, forgiveness, and reconciliation. |
