His family knew that the master must never, under any circumstances, be entrusted with business on the estate—thanks to a wizard’s curse that ensured that any financial transaction he touched would result in ruin. Still he liked to test his luck. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

Five years ago Pope Francis addressed a joint session of Congress, and outlined an agenda for solidarity and the common good. In my publisher's letter I connect that speech with four new @OrbisBooks titles. orbisbooks.com/page-46.html?…
