Stephen Harper: un portrait
By John Ibbitson, Serge Rivest, Marie-Josée Chrétien. 2015
L'un des premiers ministres les plus importants de notre histoire, Stephen Harper, a transformé le Canada pour en faire un…
pays plus conservateur. Il a réduit la taille du gouvernement, a rendu le système de justice plus sévère et les provinces plus autonomes. Mais qu'en est-il de l'homme? Dans cette nouvelle biographie complète, John Ibbitson explore la vie du Canadien le plus influent de notre époque: sa jeunesse en banlieue de Toronto; la crise existentielle qui l'a poussé à quitter l'université pendant trois ans; les forces qui ont façonné sa relation tumultueuse avec le chef du Parti réformiste Preston Manning; l'influence de sa femme, Laureen Harper; son dévouement envers ses enfants. Grâce à un accès inégalé à des sources, à des années de recherche et à une perspicacité qui a fait de lui l'une des voix les plus respectées du journalisme canadien, John Ibbitson présente un portrait intime et détaillé d'un homme qui demeure une énigme pour ses partisans aussi bien que pour ses ennemis. 2015.

By Rod Dreher. 2017
American Christianity is in decline. From the outside, churches are beset by challenges to religious liberty in a rapidly secularizing…
culture. From the inside, they are being hollowed out by the departure of young people and a watered-down pseudo-spirituality. Conservative Christian political influence has collapsed. Confused and frightened Christians wonder: What went wrong? What's next? Do we have a future in post-Christian America? Dreher argues that the way forward is actually the way back--all the way back to Saint Benedict of Nursia. This sixth-century monk, horrified by the decadence of Rome, retreated to the forest and created a new way of life for Christians under Barbarian rule. He and his fellow monks built resilient communities based on principles of order, hospitality, stability, and prayer. By creating spiritual centres of hope that were strongholds of light through the Dark Ages, they saved not just Christianity, but Western Civilization. "The Benedict option" is the guide for Christians under siege today. 2017.The best of E.M. Bounds on prayer
