Don Fiorenzo Facchini in un libro stimolante, profondo e snello, tratta un tema delicato e urgente e il rischio di banalizzarlo, silenziarlo o di affrontarlo con pregiudizio, non è lontano dalla realtà dei fatti, anche là dove si vive un impegno educativo nei confronti delle nuove generazioni: parrocchie, movimenti, associazioni. L’Autore si augura che in questi “luoghi” si torni a parlare seriamente dell’argomento, senza dimenticare la scuola e la famiglia, soggetto primario di ogni formazione.

In The Death of Porn, Ray Ortlund writes six personal letters, as from a father to his son.

These are her secret thoughts about those events, written as only a reflective English professor could.

Fifty years ago, Wallis was driven away from his faith by a white church that considered dealing with racism to be taboo.

The “whiteness gospel” divides humanity and metastasizes itself into self-sustaining groups whose most basic claim is some characteristic that values superiority over belonging.
