Make the Words Your Own

Benjamin Wayman

Make the Words Your Own

God wants honest conversation with us. Yes, we should be singing praises to him, but we should also express the doubts and fears and anguish of our lives. How can we sing praises when we are in bondage to addiction? or mourning the death of a parent? or devastated by a terminal illness? We can’t. That’s why the Psalter was the essential prayer book of the early church. It represents the full range of human faith and emotion. Athanasius was one of the early church’s most prominent pastors.

My Confirmation Book

Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle

My Confirmation Book

“Too often we whisk our youth through the Sacrament without a clear understanding of what's happening. That's tragic, because a grace misunderstood is easily unappreciated, and a grace unappreciated is easily lost. My Confirmation Book empowers young people to receive the Holy Spirit in a way that's active, personal, willing, and enduring. Highly recommended.” –Mike Aquilina, host of “Sonrise Morning Show” on EWTN, and Executive Vice-President of the St. Paul Center for Biblical...

Lady at the Window

Lady at the Window

Lady at the Window chronicles the last Holy Week in Julian of Norwich’s life. In her secret journal (because women are forbidden to write in English) the great English mystic chronicles her inner life, including her relationship with the “courteous Lord,” who when she was young was a constant presence in her life, but now in her old age feels to be more of a constant absence, Deus Absconditus. There are two windows in Lady Julian’s anchorage: one looks upon the interior of St. Julian’s...

Roots of Violence

Krister Stendahl

Roots of Violence

In an arrogant age that asks, «Why are Muslims so violent», this book asks from an unlikely perspective why Christians also are. This work is important because it takes an age-old question, religious violence, and makes it new again. In times like the ones of 2016, this intellectual material is vital. Krister wrote a series of talks in the 1980's on the edges of religious violence and how they often come from concepts of salvation. He believed that the Biblical understanding of salvation as...
