In this book, Henri Nouwen combines creative case studies of ministry with stories from diverse cultures and religious traditions in preparing a new model for ministry. Weaving keen cultural analysis with his psychological and religious insights, Nouwen has come up with a balanced and creative theology of service that begins with the realization of fundamental woundedness in human nature. Emphasizing that which is in humanity common to both minister and believer, this woundedness can serve as a source of strength and healing when counseling others.

Blessed, Broken, and Scared. What does that mean? We know that Jesus took bread, blessed it, broke it, and shared it with His friends saying, “This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me.” The Last Supper challenges us to live in such a way that we actually become the sacred food of Jesus Christ for others as we share our lives with them. And that can be scary! Blessed, Broken, and Scared calls the listener to a conversion from living a scared life to living a shared life. It is in sharing our life with others that we find the healing and peace we truly seek.

"Ayez pitié, monsieur le Président." C'est par ces mots que l'évêque Mariann Edgar Budde, au lendemain de l'investiture de Donald Trump, a dans un acte exceptionnel de résistance demandé au Président de faire preuve de compassion envers ceux qui ont peur et craignent pour leur vie. Si ce sont la force et l'écho extraordinaires de ses paroles qui ont fait connaître Mariann Edgar Budde dans le monde entier, celles-ci sont le reflet d'une existence passée à penser le courage comme un défi quotidien et l'entreprise d'une vie. Apprendre le courage est le fruit de ces années de réflexion.

Te quiero, eres importante para mí, cuento contigo: amistad, afecto, aprecio, atención, cuidado, son deseos imprescindibles que nos unen y por los que el corazón siente una sed innata. El ser humano necesita amar y ser amado. De todos es sabido que compartir la bondad reduce las penas y contagia la alegría. El mandamiento del amor que nos dejó Jesús solo nos pide que amemos a los demás y a nosotros mismos de un modo auténtico, porque solo así nuestras vidas serán plenas, ricas y satisfactorias.

In The Sexual State, Jennifer Roback Morse shows that the Sexual Revolution did not just “happen” like a force of nature.

Coming to Light explores the practice and process of the clearness committee, a means of spiritual discernment used by Quakers that has also proved helpful to many others. The author shares her personal experience of clearness committees, first as a member of the Religious Society of Friends and then as a retreat leader for the Center for Courage & Renewal, which uses the clearness committee as the center of its practice. The pamphlet includes a sample format of a clearness committee and material that may be used as handouts.

Throughout the modern era, Galileo Galilei has been presented as a victim of cruel torture of conscience, theological narrow-mindedness, and ecclesiastical harassment typical of a dark, closed-minded Church. Frequently portrayed as such in theaters due to prevailing political ideologies, the story of Galileo points to the long-held tension between “science and faith,” “technology and ethics,” and “progress and the Church.” The story of the real Galileo, however, which has not been told—until now—is sure to rock the established narrative.

"God continues to speak today," says renowned French Jesuit writer Jean-Pierre de Caussade. Yet de Caussade explains that He doesn't always speak in ways we expect. His will isn't always revealed to us in a broad vision for our lives or overt direction. His voice and His will can be discovered in our everyday world as we give our lives to Him in complete trust and allow Him to work out His purposes for us.

St. Francis Borgia (1510-1572) was a member of a devout and influential family in Spain, served as the Duke of Gandia, and was a favorite of Charles V. He penned these words as an exercise during a retreat prior to entering the Jesuits, but their riches quickly became known and widespread.

No word in our language is more misunderstood than the word “heart.’ And almost no word is more important, for it refers to what is at the very center of our soul. We have mapped the outer world, in fact the whole universe, with amazing exactness . . . but we have neglected the world within. This new book by venerable Catholic thinker Peter Kreeft offers a map of that inner world, of the self. In it, he takes up the mantle of Dietrich von Hildebrand and plumbs the depths of that most misunderstood (by the world) and overlooked (by philosophers and theologians) part of the human being.

Through Barbara’s personal encounter with Jesus’ Real Presence in the Eucharist, you will learn what spoke to her heart most intensely and fanned the flame of His love in her life.

Clare of Assisi is generally known as “ the female friend” of Saint Francis of Assisi, and for centuries her legacy has remained obscured by his shadow. Yet Clare's life and story ought to shine in its own light and on its own terms (her name, after all, means “ light” ). She is a figure of true heroism, tenacity, beatitude and grit who plotted her improbable course in the context of the raucous and explosive period of the Middle Ages.

Over and over again, God’s people have invited foreign influences into their hearts and homes, embracing the “slow stain of the world.” From the Israelites at Sinai, to the early Christians in Rome, to the Saints in Missouri, the scriptural record is brimming with cautionary tales of covenant communities undone by worldly temptations. Yet we are not helpless spectators to these tragedies; we have the power to learn from their mistakes and guard ourselves against the subtle pull of false ideas and misguided practices.

The smoke clears. The world watches. A name is announced. A man steps forward and the earth’s gaze falls upon him. We have a Pope! And his name is Leo XIV. But who is this 266th successor to St. Peter? What is the former Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost’s vision for the Church, and what impact will his papacy have on Catholics and on the world? Veteran Catholic journalist and historian Matthew Bunson offers the first authoritative portrait of the new Holy Father.

The Azusa Street Revival (1906-1908) was one of the most influential Pentecostal revivals in history. A tiny African American church in Los Angeles went from unknown to world famous virtually overnight after the Holy Ghost descended upon them. The following years saw some of the most powerful moves of God ever recorded. Angelic visitations, visions, heavenly music, healings, and especially speaking in tongues and the Baptism of the Holy Spirit were the norm.
