"Comment vivre la vie dans toute sa plénitude ? C'est pour répondre à cette interrogation simple, mais cruciale, qu'écrit le…
pasteur Alain Houziaux. Depuis plus de quinze ans, il organise et anime les "conférences de l'Étoile", qui réunissent à Paris des personnalités de tous horizons autour de thèmes existentiels. Dans ce livre accessible à tous ceux et celles qui sont en quête de sens, il nous fait part de ses réflexions et de son expérience sur des questions qui nous concernent tous : Pourquoi tant d'échecs en amour ? La liberté sexuelle, jusqu'où ? La solitude, pourquoi ? Comment accepter de vieillir ? Ou encore : Peut-on se remettre d'un malheur ? Le propos, libre de tout préjugé dogmatique, permet à chacun de mieux s'orienter dans sa vie." -- 4e de couv.By Alexandre Ganoczy. 1979

ont enquêté pendant deux ans à Paris, en Espagne et en Angleterre, recueillant de nombreux témoignages d'anciens membres. Leur constat est inquiétant : cette organisation entretient des liens étroits avec des instances décisionnaires de haut niveau progresse à la façon d'un mouvement puissant et secret au coeur même de l'Église catholique.

"Nos offenses sont innombrables, mais chaque culture a ses péchés favoris, son catalogue privilégié. L'un d'eux a connu une grande…
postérité: c'est la liste des sept Péchés capitaux établie par l'Eglise dans l'Antiquité tardive. Ces péchés mortels - l'orgueil, la paresse, la gourmandise, l'envie, la colère, la luxure et l'avarice - ne sont pas des actions interdites, mais des passions qui nous soumettent à la tentation. Avec un humour cinglant, Aviad Kleinberg, l'un des intellectuels les plus en vue en Israël, explore les champs de mines moraux de l'âme. Qu'y a-t-il d'immoral à paresser un peu ? Que serait la grande cuisine sans la gourmandise ? L'économie de marché sans l'avarice ? Ce livre fait défiler prophètes et philosophes, théologiens et poètes, tous prêts à jeter la première pierre: un regard empathique, singulier et amusant sur la fragilité humaine." -- 4e de couv.By Kevin Carey. 2016
