Over the past 20 years, Matthew Kelly has seen more of the world than most presidents and more of the Church than most bishops.

Edwards sought to understand God's foreknowledge and how it related to free will and the ability to choose between good and evil.

This engaging history reveals what was really at stake in the overthrow of Catholic culture and the reshaping of the English Church. 

Il est presque devenu banal d'affirmer que l'Église catholique est en crise au Québec et en Occident.

Serait-ce la fin de cette institution bimillénaire ? Et pourtant, des voix d'ici s'élèvent pour témoigner de leur espérance malgré les difficultés vécues par notre Église.

He delves into the history and use of lanterns to draw memorable parallels between candles and the Christian life. “Many people use their Bibles as lights to be hung up at a Chinese feast of lanterns,” he says, “for amusement, or for show.” The word of God should not be a prop, however, but rather the light that guides us through life.

It is fitting that the lessons which may be drawn from Elijah's ministry should be presented afresh to our generation.

Considered to be the first autobiographical work in history, this timeless book is completely applicable to everyone who has experienced the struggle between good and evil in his own soul. Saint Augustine, born in Constantine in 354 C.E., was raised by a devout Christian mother. He abandoned the Christianity of his upbringing and had an illegitimate son. After hearing the sermons of Ambrose, he began his great internal struggle which led to his conversion in 387 C.E. The Confessions describe his conversion, shedding light on the questions that had troubled him on his way to the Cross. Outside Scripture it is the most famous - and perhaps the most important - of all spiritual books.
