Through vivid storytelling, this historical account reveals the disturbing influences and grim motives that possessed Alessandro Serenelli, St. Maria Goretti’s murderer. Yet it is much more than a chilling tale; this true narrative is a testament of transformation and redemption — God’s mercy shining forth through the most seemingly hopeless of situations. Just as great literature and spiritual writing have the power to transform the soul and spur it on to heroic deeds, the force of immoral prose can corrupt and even drive the soul to unspeakable deeds.

Pietro Calore ci guida ai confini della Scienza per mostrarci che le sue radici sono profondamente filosofiche.

Santa messa per i miei fucilati è una testimonianza pressoché unica delle rappresaglie compiute dall'esercito italiano nel 1942-43 nei territori occupati della Slovenia e della Croazia. Il diario è stato scritto giorno dopo giorno da don Pietro Brignoli, un cappellano militare al seguito delle truppe italiane che nell'aprile del 1941 avevano invaso il Regno di Jugoslavia. Nelle pagine del suo quaderno Brignoli registra scrupolosamente le quotidiane fucilazioni di civili e presunti partigiani, eseguite spesso in maniera del tutto arbitraria.

Pietro La Greca, el padre, fue un intimidante estafador napolitano, al que apodaban “El Don Corleone mexicano de la vida real”. Dirigió el mayor negocio de lavado de dinero durante el peor periodo económico en la historia de México. El suyo era un mundo de autos deportivos, mansiones a la orilla del mar y atenciones VIP en los casinos de Las Vegas. Beneficiarse y explotar la caída libre financiera de México lo convirtió en un hombre muy rico. Sin embargo, mientras él dirigía su imperio criminal, su hijo, Pietro, también conocido como “Picho”, iba aprendiendo los trucos de su padre.

“The fire must be kept burning on the altar continually, it must not be extinguished” (Leviticus 6:13). John Wesley was asked how thousands fall on their faces and cry out in repentance when he preaches. He responded, “I just set myself on fire and they come to watch me burn.” Throughout church history, God has raised up “flames of fire” to stir hearts and turn the world upside down. Count Zinzendorf, Jonathan Edwards, Charles Finney, Evan Roberts, William Seymour, Smith Wigglesworth, Kathryn Kuhlman, and countless others fanned the sparks of revival and revolutionized history. ...

Mediterranean agriculture was born in the fertile Crescent about 10,000 years ago. Among the founding plants of this agriculture are several cereals: barley, wheat and later rye and oats. Barley is undoubtedly the most important cereal in the Neolithic and it was also in Egypt, attested in religious rites. The various types of wheat form a complex group that is still difficult to clarify today. At first the cereals were probably treated in the form of pasta and some of these were fermented. Taking into account that fermentation is a natural process that begins very quickly, the first cooks ...

On a spiritual level, my existence has been rather troubled. I was a big blasphemer, I hated the Church and I also wanted to get baptized (which fortunately I didn't do). I know you are looking for a quick and easy solution to manifest events and changes in your life. You've probably also read a few other books that were later deemed inconclusive. I understand you perfectly. Even before getting closer to the Christian faith I was a great lover of personal growth. I avidly bought and read the texts of the best-known gurus of this huge industry headed by great masons. My journey of ...

Pietro Pinti, born as he says "in the Middle Ages", worked the land with hoe and plow from his earliest youth. Growing up under Mussolini's Fascist regime on a farm near Florence, he and his family lived under conditions of extreme poverty, as sharecroppers to generally unscrupulous landowners. But during World War II, when millions in towns and cities suffered untold hardships, the hardy Tuscan peasants were well equipped to face the rigors of the era. War or no war, work on the land went on, and Pietro describes month by month a typical year in their lives.

Che posto occupavano gli animali nell'antichità? Come noi oggi, anche i Greci e i Romani avevano a che fare con cani, cavalli, galline; avevano allevamenti, vivari, acquari, e adottavano pratiche zootecniche. Amavano i loro animali da affezione, mentre ne uccidevano altri e li mangiavano (magari dopo averli sacrificati in onore di una divinità). Conoscevano e usavano animali selvatici o feroci, o esotici come elefanti e pappagalli.
