Massachusetts Bay Colony, 1692. When the first girl fell down screaming, the people of Salem Village thought it might just be silliness. Then a second girl started barking. A third and fourth began to shake uncontrollably. A doctor said "an evil hand" had come upon the girls, and everyone knew: They were bewitched. But who were the witches? Everyone knew that too: the unprotected residents of Salem--the poor, the elderly, the ones who were a little bit strange. Soon more girls were having fits and naming people as witches. The village erupted in accusations, suspicion, and fear. By the time the witch trials ended, dozens of lives had been ruined, and twenty people were dead. And I saw it all.With a snarky and surprising first-person narrator - a historical figure that played a major role in events - acclaimed writer Katie Kennedy offers a fresh new take on the greatest true-crime story in American history.

為什麼現代生活必須那麼忙碌？如何在壓力山大中保有希望？「西方隱修之父」聖本篤的古老修道實踐，提供了個人專屬的「心靈庇護所」，超越日常競逐，在所有時刻裡依然自由。英國BBC在2005年推出了別開生面的節目「修院生活」（The Monastery）：五位忙碌的現代人，在修道院中生活四十天，修士們對他們日常掙扎所做出的深思熟慮與關懷，以及他們在隱修院尋找心靈平靜的過程。節目一推出就獲得熱烈迴響，想報名參加這個活動的信件更如雪片般湧入隱修院。本書正是傑米森神父（Christopher Jamison）回應這個節目所結的果實。他以「西方隱修之父」聖本篤在一千五百年前寫下的會規，提供隱修院傳統的靈性智慧，在日常隨時隨地皆能安頓心靈的能力，幫助讀者在繁忙的生活中，為自己建立一座可供安憩與喘息的心靈聖殿。一千五百年前，聖本篤在位於羅馬東部一座令人心神嚮往的山上，擔任修道院院長。他撰寫的《本篤會會規》，是關於基督徒生活的洞見與每日實踐的具體建議。這些洞見至今仍指引著無數人，每一代的修道者將當代的現實與會規的智慧融合起來，成為修道院歷久彌新的靈性泉源，使其至今仍是心靈避靜的所在。這樣的寧靜之所，能在每一個人的心中創造出來。無論工作再怎麼繁重，陷入過度忙碌並非命中註定；靜默與默觀也不是修士與修女的專利，它們是靈性生活的金鑰。在現代節奏匆忙的生活中，本書的靜默、默觀、服從、謙遜、團體、靈性與希望等七個修鍊，幫助人們轉向更自由和靈性的生活。
