Bristol
$17.99Add to cartBristol. The very name of the place would often bring a lop-sided grin and a sardonic look from even the most mellow race car driver. The high thirty-six degree banking and the close quarters made this half mile track a wild circus when the Cup boys came into town. Anything could happen and the unexpected was the norm. Tempers as well as engine temperatures ran hot at this place and few if any drivers finished the race without a battle scar or two. That is if they finished. The Orly Mann Racing Team knew that to win here they?d better have their act together and be in top form. The Thunderfoot Ballet Company would have to perform every pitstop flawlessly and give Orly all the track position they possibly could. Paolo and Doug better suck it up and keep their heads in the game. That might not be easy this week. As Bear, co-owner and crewchief would say: trying and doing are two different things. Bear himself, already had a plate full. He was nursing a broken nose and dealing with a major catastrophe at the shop. What else could go wrong? Plenty! The Orly Mann Racing Team faces some serious issues as they get ready to tackle the fastest half mile race track in the world. This is racin? the way it oughta be?

He is uniquely aware of the problems that face the world in the 21st century. Many of these problems stem from a lack of understanding about “life issues”, especially abortion, which is the definitive moral issue of our time. Jean Nietubicz has addressed the issue ( for many young people it is still a “question”) of abortion through her novel “WhoWould Know?” As never before, the novel is becoming one of the greatest instruments of the new evangelization. Although most teenagers spend hours in front of the TV each day, many of them love to read in order to find relief from and answers to the problems that confront them each day. “WhoWould Know?” goes directly to the heart, more so than any sermon or classroom lecture could possibly do. The dialogues are real, the pace is just right and the lessons obvious. There should be at least one copy in every high school. Those of us who are engaged in young adult education owe a great debt to Jean Nietubicz. She has helped us proclaim the new evangelization in a way that young people can understand. It is the lesson of the heart. Father Joseph M. Doyle, SSJ President, St. Augustine High School New Orleans, LA
