Most Famous Man In America
$25.00No one predicted success for Henry Ward Beecher at his birth in 1813. The blithe, boisterous son of the last great Puritan minister, he seemed destined to be overshadowed by his brilliant siblings–especially his sister, Harriet Beecher Stowe, who penned the century’s bestselling book “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” But when pushed into the ministry, the charismatic Beecher found international fame by shedding his father’s Old Testament-style fire-and-brimstone theology and instead preaching a New Testament-based gospel of unconditional love and healing, becoming one of the founding fathers of modern American Christianity. By the 1850s, his spectacular sermons at Plymouth Church in Brooklyn Heights had made him New York’s number one tourist attraction, so wildly popular that the ferries from Manhattan to Brooklyn were dubbed “Beecher Boats.”
Beecher inserted himself into nearly every important drama of the era–among them the antislavery and women’s suffrage movements, the rise of the entertainment industry and tabloid press, and controversies ranging from Darwinian evolution to presidential politics. He was notorious for his irreverent humor and melodramatic gestures, such as auctioning slaves to freedom in his pulpit and shipping rifles–nicknamed “Beecher’s Bibles”–to the antislavery resistance fighters in Kansas. Thinkers such as Emerson, Thoreau, Whitman, and Twain befriended–and sometimes parodied–him.
And then it all fell apart. In 1872 Beecher was accused by feminist firebrand Victoria Woodhull of adultery with one of his most pious parishioners. Suddenly the “Gospel of Love” seemed to rationalize a life of lust. The cuckolded husband brought charges of “criminal conversation” in a salacious trial that became the most widely covered event of the century, garnering more newspaper headlines than the entire Civil War. Beecher survived, but his reputation and his causes–from women’s rights to progressive evangelicalism–suffered devastating setbacks that echo to this day.
Featuring the page-turning suspense of a novel and dramatic new historical evidence, Debby Applegate has written the definitive biography of this captivating, mercurial, and sometimes infuriating figure. In our own time, when religion and politics are again colliding and adultery in high places still commands headlines, Beecher’s story sheds new light on the culture and conflicts of contemporary America.

It’s not whether you have a creed or not, just which.
“No creed but Christ.” This claim tries to remove the mess of doctrinal controversy. After all, doesn’t everyone know that “doctrine divides?” But would avoiding creeds and confessions really clear away confusion? What do you believe about Jesus? Was he really God? The answers to these important questions make a creed, even if it’s only poorly worded or false. Creeds are unavoidable.
As the church’s first “official” ecumenical creed, the Nicene Creed has protected and shaped the life of God’s people for centuries. L. Charles Jackson’s popular study walks readers through every line of the Nicene creed, highlighting its history and contemporary application, and revealing its grounding in Scripture. It shows us a Nicene Creed that is pastoral, practical, and personal.Add to cartin stock within 3-5 days of online purchase

Christianity And Science
$30.00“There is nothing in Christian faith that should make one afraid of science’s widening and deepening knowledge. No matter how enormous the picture of the natural world turns out to be, it can never surpass the infinity we have always attributed to God.”
In his many previous books John Haught established a reputation as the leading Catholic theological voice in the study of science and religion. In this work he offers his most systematic theological reflections on the relation between Christian revelation and the unfolding story of the universe. In the face of recent discoveries some maintain their faith by clinging to a pre-scientific worldview; others conclude that perhaps “the universe has outgrown the biblical God who is said to be its creator.” For Haught, however, exploration of the “three infinities”-the immense, the infinitesimal, and the complex-serves as invitation to an unprecedented appreciation for the grandeur of God, creation, Christ, and redemption.

Martyr Of The Amazon
$18.00The inspiring story of an American nun who died defending the poor and God’s creation.
“I strongly identify with the journey of Sister Dorothy Stang: from teaching kids in school, to recognizing Jesus in the poor, to embracing a faith that does justice-wherever that may lead. Sr. Dorothy gave her life for the gospel. Her witness on behalf of God’s creation and the poor could not offer a more timely challenge and inspiration.” -Sr. Helen Prejean, author, Dead Man Walking
. . . The hired gunmen who confronted Sister Dorothy asked her if she was carrying a weapon. She produced her Bible and began to read from the Beatitudes: “Blessed are the poor in spirit . . . Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice . . . Blessed are the peacemakers . . . .” And then they shot her.
The murder in 2005 of an American nun, Sister Dorothy Stang, focused the world’s attention on the plight of poor farmers in the Brazilian Amazon and their struggles against rapacious developers. Sister Dorothy had worked in Brazil for forty years. From a conventional nun in the pre-Vatican II era, she had developed a keen social conscience and, increasingly, a deep, mystical commitment to the integrity of Creation. These ideals combined in her advocacy for the rights of the poor and her defense of the imperiled rain forest. They also earned her the enmity of land-grabbing ranchers who repeatedly threatened her. “All I ask,” she wrote, “is God’s grace to help me keep on this journey, fighting for the people to have a more egalitarian life and that we learn to respect God’s creation.”

Interrupting White Privilege
$28.00White Catholic theologians have remained relatively silent on the topic of racism since publication in 1979 of the U.S. bishops’ statement against racism, Brothers and Sisters to Us. In this hard-hitting study, prominent Roman Catholic theologians address the issue of white privilege. They maintain that systems of white privilege are a significant factor in shaping the evil of racism in our country and that most white theologians and ethicists remain ignorant of the part they play in maintaining racism.
Contributors include Jon Nilson (Loyola Chicago), Mary Elizabeth Hobgood (Holy Cross), Barbara Hilkert Andolsen (Monmouth University), Charles Curran (Southern Methodist University), Roger Haight (Union Theological Seminary), Margaret Guider (Weston School of Theology), Margaret Pfeil (Notre Dame), and editors Laurie Cassidy and Alex Mikulich.

Tested In Every Way
$21.18In recent years, the Catholic priesthood in the United States has suffered numerous trials, from ever-diminishing numbers to the humiliations of the clerical sexual-abuse crisis. And, yet, by virtually every statistical measure, Catholic priests remain among the happiest of men. In Tested in Every Way, Christopher Ruddy examines this paradox, drawing on the insights of the “Priest in the Church” conference convened by the Catholic Common Ground Initiative. Ruddy moves beyond the cultural and theological impasses that paralyze the church and its mission to give us a vision of the priesthood that is both honest and hopeful.

Creation Grace And Redemption

Consuming Faith : Integrating Who We Are With What We Buy
$15.95Americans search for identity through a paradoxical pair of passions: spirituality and consumerism. On the one hand, we participate in religion or practice spirituality and on the other hand we are keen consumers. But, as Tom Beaudoin’s Consuming Faith makes clear, if we truly seek to put our spirituality into practice, we must integrate who we are with what we buy. How are we linked to the rest of the world through our purchases? What does faith have to do with what we buy? With a new updated preface by the author, this paperback edition invites us to think about how our purchases affect who we are as individuals and as members of a global community.

Blessed Among Women
$15.61The Virgin Mary is the most honored and glorified saint in the Catholic Church. Catholic devotion to Mary is a worldwide phenomenon that continues to grow. Blessed Among Women takes a serious and critical look at how much devotion to the Virgin Mary is truly justified. This book also looks at how the Catholic Church views Mary’s role in God’s overall plan for our salvation and whether or not this view matches up with sacred scripture. It explores Catholic doctrines such as the Immaculate Conception, Perpetual Virginity and Assumption of Mary. It also explores more controversial doctrines such as Mediatrix of all Graces, Queen of heaven, and the unofficial Coredemptrix doctrine. Chapter eight examines the apparitions of the Virgin Mary and their influence on Church doctrine regarding Mary. The final two chapters turn our attention towards the importance of pursuing the truth on these issues, wherever that leads. For Protestants and Catholics alike, this book is an important exploration into the controversial Church doctrines regarding the Virgin Mary. It emphasizes why it is important for all Christians to examine what the word of God says about these doctrines, knowing that if we follow God’s word, we can experience the peace and joy of knowing that we are saved.

Yahwehs Other Shoe
$14.95“Only eternal life is worthy of the name,” writes Kilian McDonnell, O.S.B., in an elegy for a brother monk, and in his poetry one feels the working out of this life that begins with Adam and proceeds beyond our own span of time on earth. These poems breathe human air, but are always conscious of the larger picture of life in Christ.
“I wrestle with God ‘flesh to flesh, sweat to mystery,’ and I limp away.” This is how Father McDonnell describes his poetic project, and in these poems the reader attends a wrestling match of the highest order. He takes on the great themes of poetry: desire, mortality, love and age, brotherhood and God. Beginning with the figures of the Old and New Testament, he is aware of the human flailings, failings, and laughter in the stories as of what they say about God with us. Engaging with the events of our day, the great physical world around us, the intricate world of human relationships, and the spiritual journey of a monk, the poems continuously reveal what it means to be human.

Lazarus At The Table
$19.95Lazarus at the Table is the fruit of more than two decades of instructing students in the social teachings of the Catholic Church. For most of these years Bernard Evans has taught graduate students. Lately he also teaches lay Catholics engaged in parish ministry and enrolled in diocesan ministry formation programs. This book is written specifically for the latter group.
Evans agrees with the bishops of the United States who insist that any Catholic education that does not include Catholic social teaching is not fully Catholic. And so he writes clearly, concisely, and convincingly about how Catholic social teaching addresses such contemporary issues as human dignity, abortion, assisted suicide and euthanasia, embryonic stem cell research, the death penalty, war, family, marriage, poverty, superfluous income, just wages, unions, peace, solidarity, and many more. Excerpts from the church’s official teachings in papal documents abound throughout the book.

Rise Of Benedict 16th
$12.95On April 18, 2005, the College of Cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church gathered to elect a successor to Pope John Paul II. Faced with several potential candidates, the cardinals made a bold choice, entrusting the Keys of the Kingdom to 78-year-old Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany, a man whose views on the challenges facing the Church and the broader culture could not be more unambiguous, or controversial. Questions arose as the world watched while Ratzinger was installed as Pope Benedict XVI. No one can tell the story of exactly what took place during the closed doors meeting, known as the conclave, when Cardinals from around the world cast their votes for the next pope, better than John L. Allen, Jr. As a correspondent for National Catholic Reporter and a Vatican analyst for CNN and National Public Radio, Allen has spent years covering Vatican politics and personalities, and his unique access to Roman halls of power has enabled him to write the ultimate behind-the-scenes account of the election of Pope Benedict XVI.

Gods Doorkeepers : Padre Pio Solanus Casey And Andre Bessette
$18.99“I look on my whole life as giving, and I want to give and give until there is nothing left to give.” – Solanus Casey, from the Introduction
Padre Pio and Andre Bessette would have readily agreed with Solanus Casey even though, on the surface, none of the three had much to give. All grew up in humble circumstances, each suffered poor health, and none achieved academic distinction or prominent positions in their religious orders. They were, to all appearances, the sort of people others overlook.
Yet in their lifetimes, untold numbers found physical and interior healing through their ministries, and since their deaths their fame has grown enormously. Their secret was the secret of every successful Christian life: In complete humility, they abandoned themselves to the will of God.
Bessette and Casey literally answered the door at their monasteries, and Pio was something of a spiritual doorkeeper in the confessional. ‘God’s Doorkeepers’ reveals how these miracle-workers, in spite of their lowly circumstances, inspired and continue to inspire those who seek a healing encounter with God.

$13.68Here are timeless reflections for each day of Advent to help us prepare in mind and heart for the Coming of Our Lord Jesus. The Gospel is given for each day (in the case of Sundays, a choice has been made from the A, B and C cycles of readings), while short commentaries chosen from the writings of one of the Saints or Fathers connect us in our reflection directly to the Early Church, further aided by biographical notes on each writer and by concluding prayers, also from the Saints and Fathers to focus our thoughts more deeply. Pope Benedict XVI, when he writes about Advent, says that there are two main figures which dominate this liturgical time: John the Baptist and Mary. In a very special way, this book helps us join with them in awaiting the coming of the Messiah.

Acts Of The Apostles
$54.95The Acts of the Apostles is the second volume in the two-part writing scholars call Luke-Acts. It continues the story begun in the Gospel of Luke, showing how the Good News offered by Jesus was eventually extended “to the end of the earth,” so that Gentiles as well as Jews came to share in the blessings of God.
This commentary treats Luke-Acts as an apologetic history. It takes with equal seriousness Luke’s literary artistry and his historical interests, fitting his methods comfortably within the ancient standards of historiography. This perspective illustrates in particular that Luke’s historical narrative serves a definite religious intent. Tracing that intent through the specific contours of Luke’s story is the special contribution of this commentary.
