"Father McGivney's vision remains as relevant as ever in the changed circumstances of today's church and society "—Pope John Paul II

Is now the time for an American parish priest to be declared a Catholic saint?

In Father Michael McGivney (1852-1890), born and raised in a Connecticut factory town, the modern era's ideal of the priesthood hit its zenith. The son of Irish immigrants, he was a man to whom "family values" represented more than mere rhetoric. And he left a legacy of hope still celebrated around the world.

In the late 1800s, discrimination against American Catholics was widespread. Many Catholics struggled to find work and ended up in infernolike mills. An injury or the death of the wage earner would leave a family penniless. The grim threat of chronic homelessness and even starvation could fast become realities. Called to action in 1882 by his sympathy for these suffering people, Father McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus, an organization that has helped to save countless families from the indignity of destitution. From its uncertain beginnings, when Father McGivney was the only person willing to work toward its success, it has grown to an international membership of 1.7 million men.

At heart, though, Father McGivney was never anything more than an American parish priest, and nothing less than that, either—beloved by children, trusted by young adults, and regarded as a "positive saint" by the elderly in his New Haven parish.

In an incredible work of academic research, Douglas Brinkley (The Boys of Pointe Du Hoc, Tour of Duty) and Julie M. Fenster (Race of the Century, Ether Day) re-create the life of Father McGivney, a fiercely dynamic yet tenderhearted man. Though he was only thirty-eight when he died, Father McGivney has never been forgotten. He remains a true "people's priest," a genuinely holy man—and perhaps the most beloved parish priest in U.S. history. Moving and inspirational, Parish Priest chronicles the process of canonization that may well make Father McGivney the first American-born parish priest to be declared a saint by the Vatican.

As the title suggests, Gluten-Free 101: Easy, Basic Dishes without Wheat offers simple, streamlined recipes for those basic foods we all crave when we're gluten-free.

Crust French bread, chewy Pizza, decadent Brownies, flaky Pie Crust, old-fashioned Biscuits. They're all possible using Carol's new, versatile sorghum-based flour blend.

As all gluten-free beginners eventually learn, we can't bake with just one flour the way we did when we ate wheat.

This blend is more nutritious, with more protein and fiber than most gluten-free flour blends. And, you can vary the other flours in the blend to suit your personal tastes and dietary needs.

Recognizing that gluten-free beginners need guidance, Carol offers help on what to eat during the first few weeks after diagnosis, deciphering mysterious culinary terms, setting up a gluten-free pantry, using a bread machine, detecting hidden gluten in commercial foods, and dining away from home.

Recipes are organized into four categories (breads, breakfast, dessert, and main dishes) and offer nutritional content so you can manage your diet wisely. Extensive information about a wide variety of gluten-free flours helps you choose which ones are best for you.

Photos of many of the foods can be seen on Carol's web site..
