Drawing on the groundbreaking U.S. Financial Diaries project (http://www.usfinancialdiaries.org/), which follows the lives of 235 low- and middle-income families as they navigate through a year, the authors challenge popular assumptions about how Americans earn, spend, borrow, and save-- and they identify the true causes of distress and inequality for many working Americans.

"There are not many people who can say they have experienced visions or miracles. But as the son of Lucille Smith, I can say I have. In the beginning as a growing Christian, I did not realize the relevance of these experiences. As the years have passed, the visions and miracles have come to past. I am proud that my mother has decided to share this book with the rest of the world. As you read, I hope that you experience the same feelings of faith and belief." Jason. D. Smith "My name is Kandice, and I am a married mother of three boys. Lucille H. Smith is my mother. She always had dreams and visions as long as I can remember. She is an inspiration to everyone who knows her. This book is the culmination of years of documented dreams, visions, and prophecies. I enjoyed reading and remembering, and I know you will enjoy sharing her journey." Kandice N. Butler

Archdiocese of Washington exorcist Msgr. Stephen Rossetti and his team have a very active caseload of demonic possessions. Msgr. Rossetti presents many of these stories here, without varnish or hype. In these ninety-five detailed cases, two vivid lessons consistently emerge: 1. Demons possess or simply harass people in myriad ways and need to be taken seriously, even when they do not enter a soul. 2. Demons are defeated, decisively, by the power of Christ and His Church, employing prayer, sacramentals, rites of exorcism -- and especially, invocations to the Blessed Mother. "Despite all their bluster and arrogance, demons are cowards," Msgr. Rossetti reveals. In fact, in every section of his work, he offers detailed "Theological Reflections" explaining the meaning of these possessions, why he thinks God permitted each, and the spiritual benefits accrued. The devil is no match for the Lord of Heaven and Earth.
