Title : Life of Bernadette - René Laurentin - book Summary : Saint Bernadette of Lourdes died on April 16, 1879. This is her centenary, 20 years after the apparitions. Since then, the seer's importance has continued to grow in the pilgrimage. Who is Bernadette? The daughter of a ruined miller whose extreme poverty led to him being imprisoned, a shepherdess, a seer, an astonishing witness: little David, victorious over several Goliaths ganged up against her, a nun, a nurse who ended up in "the employment of the sick" by assuming her passion in a moving way. Much has been mythologized around all this. The truth is more beautiful than myths. Bernadette is simply a saint. She reveals the holiness of the poor, received from a good source. This little-known holiness was in her well before the apparitions. After 20 years of study and 25 volumes of authoritative scientific publications, Father René Laurentin, professor at the Catholic University, Doctor of Letters, but also a journalist, wrote a transparent and simple life like Bernadette, according to the instruction she gave to historians on her deathbed: "The simplest thing we write will be the best. By trying to embellish things, we distort them." "Nothing romanticized... a lively style, a story... alive, I hope that many Christians will read this book: rightly, the book of the centenary." (Preface by Mgr Donze, Bishop of Tarbes and Lourdes).

Title : La Petite Fadette - George Sand - book
Summary : In the country, she was called Little Fadette, because she was the size of a leprechaun and had the powers of a fairy. Like her grandmother, she healed men and animals. Landry, one of the twins from the neighboring farm, falls in love with her. But the love of a witch is frowned upon in this family, and it makes Sylvinet, the other "besson," sick with jealousy. After La Mare au diable and François le Champi , this is George Sand's third country novel. In it, she expresses everything that life has taught her. The appearance of people doesn't matter; you have to pierce the shell. The wealth of girls doesn't make them happy, and love is difficult to build. Her unfulfilled desire is there, too, for a love that would last forever. Little Fadette illustrates George Sand's grand design: to teach respect for God, nature, wisdom, and love.

Title : Freemasonry - A philosophical and spiritual quest for knowledge - René Le Moal - book
Summary :
Generally misunderstood, often suspected, sometimes persecuted, Freemasonry is rooted in the philanthropic optimism of the Enlightenment. Its paradox is that it combines reverence for myth and trust in reason, an awareness of the need to withdraw into the separate space of the temple, and a fraternal aim of understanding man and the world. The constant return of the thousand forms of hatred of the other, with which the last century was abundant, would be enough to justify that minds concerned with harmony and progress have built a refuge for themselves to develop a philosophy of life and civilization, and to return to the world to fertilize it.
But understanding Freemasonry, which is a knowledge enterprise, presupposes above all that one uses the weapons of intelligence and reason. This is the whole merit of this book, which provides more through the intellectual and ethical keys that it delivers than many large volumes navigating between complacent description and inventive delirium.
René Le Moal is editor-in-chief of a journal of philosophical studies published by the Grand Orient of France under the aegis of the Masonic Institute of France.
Georges Lerbet is an honorary professor of universities. Masonic premodernity. A relative modernity in the Anglo-Saxon world. Continental modernities. Setbacks. An untenable binary. Bar of God or bar of the divine? Three centuries of continental Masonic counter-modernity. The Masonic experience. Masonic symbolism. The initiatory experience. From self-recognition to identity construction.

Title : The Test - An incredible experience: proof of the afterlife - Stéphane Allix - book
Summary :
When my father died I placed some items in his coffin.
I didn't tell anyone about it.
Then I interviewed mediums who claim to communicate with the dead.
Will they discover what objects they are?
This is the test. Can we speak with the dead? Some women and men claim it and even make a profession of it. Thousands of people consult them. Are these abilities real or an illusion? To answer these questions, Stéphane Allix interviewed six mediums. The results are astonishing and confirm what scientific research on this subject reveals: life after death is now a rational hypothesis.
How does one become a medium? Is it a gift or a curse? How can one describe what happens at death? Where do one go afterward? Can consulting a medium help with the grieving process? How can one avoid charlatans?
This book addresses these questions, leading us to discover a reality that is both simple and dizzying: it is possible to communicate with those we love beyond death.

Title : Innocence and the Law - Michael Connelly - book
Summary : After a drink to celebrate his court victory, Mickey Haller is arrested for having no license plate. But when he opens the trunk of the car, the police officer finds a corpse inside. That of a con man the lawyer defended many times, until the client ripped him off in turn.

He realizes he's been framed—but by whom, and why?—and decides to defend himself. Not easy when, in addition to being in prison and therefore the target of violence, he's the prey of a plot that even Harry Bosch, his half-brother, will have trouble unraveling. A stunning plot. Both well-researched and hard-hitting, Innocence and the Law manages to keep us on the edge of our seats until the very last scene. Télérama.
