    • Miracles And Wonder

      $30.00

      From a renowned National Book Award-winning scholar, an extraordinary new account of the life of Jesus that explores the mystery of how a poor young man inspired a religion that reshaped the world.

      Early in her career, Elaine Pagels changed our understanding of the origins of Christianity with her work in The Gnostic Gospels. Now, in the culmination of a decades-long career, she explores the biggest subject of all, Jesus. In Miracles and Wonder she sets out to discover how a poor young Jewish man inspired a religion that shaped the world.

      The book reads like a historical mystery, with each chapter addressing a fascinating question and answering it based on the gospels Jesus’s followers left behind. Why is Jesus said to have had a virgin birth? Why do we say he rose from the dead? Did his miracles really happen and what did they mean?

      The story Pagels tells is thrilling and tense. Not just does Jesus comes to life but his desperate, hunted followers do as well. We realize that some of the most compelling details of Jesus’s life are the explanations his disciples created to paper over inconvenient facts. So Jesus wasn’t illegitimate, his mother conceived by God; Jesus’s body wasn’t humiliatingly left to rot and tossed into a common grave–no, he rose from the dead and was seen whole by his followers; Jesus isn’t a failed messiah, his kingdom is a metaphor: he lives in us. These necessary fabrications were the very details and promises that electrified their listeners and helped his followers’ numbers grow.

      In Miracles and Wonder, Pagels does more than solve a historical mystery. She sheds light on Jesus’s enduring power to inspire and attract.

    • Heaven Help Us

      Original price was: $29.99.Current price is: $21.99.

      Discover the antidote to cynicism and despair in this dynamic, revelatory, hope-inducing exploration of the extraordinary work and extraordinary people who are transforming communities around the country–motivated by faith.

      The mother of a man with autism manages a network of group homes through her local Greek Orthodox congregation. The director of an Islamic cultural center hosts a national interfaith conference to foster better relationships with the Jewish community. A student counselor starts a free immigration services program through her church. Sometimes we forget that good is not only happening in America, it is flourishing–in the fertile soil of our churches, synagogues, and mosques.

      Few people are better poised to speak to the value of religious institutions in civic life than former Ohio governor and presidential candidate John Kasich, who is both a public servant and a man of faith. In Heaven Help Us, Kasich reminds us through gripping stories that faith communities are vital to healthy communities and our nation. Heaven Help Us offers:

      *Unforgettable stories of people making an extraordinary difference because of their faith communities

      *Insights into what sets faith institutions that transform their neighborhoods apart from those that don’t

      *Practical ideas for making positive changes in our own communities

      *Hope to dream about what is possible in our country instead of what is impossible

      *Encouragement that religion can bring us together rather than break us apart

      As Kasich shows us, faith institutions can magnify the power of an individual in ways that almost always exceed the expectations of the person who jump-started the initiative in the first place. More than a collection of “feel-good” stories, Heaven Help Us reminds us of the resourcefulness and ingenuity of our fellow congregants and religious leaders that make it possible to turn our good intentions into even better outcomes. Good is happening in our country. Join in.

    • Why Im Still A Christian

      $18.99

      A compelling and intriguing discussion of why believing in God makes the most sense of human existence and our purpose on earth by one of the most respected Christian thinkers of our time.

      “Highly readable survey of the reasons for Christian faith. Not just an academic exercise, Justin has respectfully engaged many thoughtful atheists and sceptics over years, which is always a test for a believer. The book is therefore very personal–it explains how his own faith has emerged while working through the challenges he has received.” — Timothy Keller

      Popular radio host and podcaster, Justin Brierley, has been creating and facilitating constructive conversations about faith for more than two decades. He is an expert in Christian apologetics and has had a ringside seat as believers and nonbelievers alike have debated Christianity. Surprisingly, Justin has come out on the other side of these debates more convinced than ever of the truth of Jesus’ claims–and the power of good conversations.

      With this book, you get to watch Justin as he engages with the most unlikely of conversation partners–from Richard Dawkins to Philip Pullman–on the subject of faith. You’ll understand why Justin, after hearing the strongest objections to the Christian faith and religion, is still a Christian. For him, God makes sense of human existence, the inherent value of human life, and our ultimate purpose on earth.

      With this book, you’ll explore tough questions, with Justin Brierley as your guide:

      *Why would God allow suffering?
      *Are Christianity and the existence of God compatible with science?
      *Is there any evidence for the resurrection?
      *And much more.

      Discover the reasons to believe.

      $28.99

      Unearthing the unfamiliar world behind the Bible

      *Reencounter the Bible and its ancient and unfamiliar world
      *Discern fact from fable about the Dead Sea Scrolls
      *Discover how the Scrolls continue to mystify and revolutionize
      *Learn how the Scrolls changed the ways we translate and read the Bible

The Scrolls simultaneously challenge and confirm what we thought we knew about the Bible, both its worlds and its very words. Though first recovered in 1947, their story continues to unfurl.

      In Lost Words and Forgotten Worlds: Rediscovering the Dead Sea Scrolls, Andrew B. Perrin reintroduces readers to the Scrolls while correcting common misunderstandings and highlighting overlooked issues. Perrin’s tour spans the traditions of ancient Judaism and extends to the “big business” of modern antiquities trading–and the surprising number of forgeries on display in our museums. Along the way, he debunks popular myths and conspiracies.

    • Silence The Lion

      $22.99

      This book is the testimony of my husband’s freedom from twenty years of substance abuse addiction in one day. It is unique in that it is not just a testimony, nor is it just a guide instructing people struggling with addiction on what they should do to see freedom. Instead, it is a mesh of our story interwoven with reflections and reflection questions throughout the book. It is designed to tell our story and prompt readers to draw their own conclusions through self-reflection without simply telling them what to do.

      Halfway through the book, addiction is named “The Lion,” with references to Daniel in the den of lions, and the reader begins to see addiction as the enemy sent from Satan, allowing them to separate themselves from their identity as an addict. The remainder of the book continually references addiction as “The Lion.” Each chapter is titled from an excerpt of a biblical scripture immediately following it.

      The goal in writing the book is for those struggling with substance abuse to be able to come to freedom by: Discovering where their true identity lies, determining who the enemy is, surrendering to Christ, removing shame and guilt, tearing down the hardened walls around their hearts, cutting off any bitter roots, casting off unforgiveness, stepping into their new identities, and silencing the lies of the enemy: The Lion.

    • No One Left Alone

      $28.99

      As the first Black woman to anchor the Boston-area evening news, Liz Walker found herself in an industry that defined the neighborhood of Roxbury largely by violence. But when she became a pastor there, Walker grew close to households marked not only by trauma but by courage–including the family of Cory Johnson, a young father who was murdered. In the wake of their worst nightmare, the family reached out for help.

      As Walker’s congregation invited neighbors to gather, they created soft spaces for others’ grief to land. There, in the stories told, the meals shared, the tears shed, and the silences kept, people found a space to receive their sorrow. Out of this ministry grew a grassroots trauma-healing program, one now being replicated across the country.

      Through this groundbreaking book, begin to imagine what story-sharing groups might look like in your context. Face the disparity of grief that comes from racism and systemic inequality, and learn to confront legacies of harm. Discover the healing power of listening, as well as the art and skills of accompanying someone in pain. Further, grasp how caregivers, pastors, counselors, and other healers–many with their own wounds–can benefit from soft spaces too.

      Marked by history and surrounded by violence and loneliness, we all long for healing. In the tradition of esteemed writers like Bryan Stevenson and Cole Arthur Riley, Walker writes about how community helps us transfigure trauma. There is nothing dramatic about listening to someone’s story or sharing our own. But there is mystery here, and sacredness. No one has to be left alone.

    • 1st Love Second Draft

      $17.99

      She’s a romance writer burned out on love. He’s her famous baseball star ex-husband. The last man she wants to be forced to work with is the one who broke her heart.

      Rom-com writer Gracie Parker hasn’t written a bestseller since she and her husband, a major league baseball star, divorced five years ago. On thin ice with her publisher–and with a looming deadline–Gracie couldn’t have picked a worse time for a painful injury that has her flat on her back. At this point, she’d accept help from anybody . . . except her first love and ex-husband, Noah Parker.

      The baseball season has just ended in massive disappointment for Noah. He’s facing the stark reality that he gave up everything for a career that’s let him down and that it might be too late to get back the one person he should’ve held on to. So when Gracie’s nephew calls, saying Gracie’s looking for a tenant for her next-door rental, it feels like it’s meant to be.

      All Gracie cares about is turning in her manuscript on time, which is directly at odds with Noah’s attempts to win her back, even if she is slightly charmed by his kindness. But can people ever really change? Then Noah throws a curveball that could give Gracie the extension she needs, but it will mean working directly with Noah, something she’s not sure she can face. With no other choice, and everything on the line, Gracie must decide if it is too late for a second draft of their own love story.

      *Sweet second chance romantic comedy
      *Clean, stand-alone sports romance novel
      *Themes of redemption

    • This Promised Land

      $17.99

      When she ran away as a young war bride, she was cut off from her family forever . . . or so she believed. Decades later, maybe the only way to move on is to go home.

      Ginny Pickering Boyden can’t wait for her last day of work, when she’ll be free to pursue a lifelong ambition through a master gardener apprenticeship. But an unexpected letter brings shocking news: Ginny has inherited her family’s Christmas tree farm, a dream she’d long ago given up.

      Facing a past laced with memories and lies she’s tried hard to bury, a furious nephew who thought the land would be his, and a failing farm with a mountain of debt, Ginny returns to New Scrivelsby, Virginia, determined to sell. But when her younger nephew, a Vietnam vet, appears with demons of his own and three young children in tow, Ginny isn’t sure what to do. Too much of their story reminds Ginny of her own. She has little hope, however, that three generations of warring Pickerings can set aside their differences to restore all that’s broken, both on the land and in their hearts.

      Set against the beautiful and rugged landscape of the Blue Ridge Mountains, This Promised Land is the story of a daughter’s longing to make sense of the past and of the unbreakable bonds that bring prodigals home.

      *A modern take on the prodigal son story, written by a four-time Christy award-winning author

    • End Of Mental Illness

      $18.99

      PUBLISHER’S WEEKLY and USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

      New hope for those suffering from conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, addictions, PTSD, ADHD and more.

      Though incidence of these conditions is skyrocketing, for the past four decades standard treatment hasn’t much changed, and success rates in treating them have barely improved, either. Meanwhile, the stigma of the “mental illness” label-damaging and devastating on its own-can often prevent sufferers from getting the help they need.

      Brain specialist and bestselling author Dr. Daniel Amen is on the forefront of a new movement within medicine and related disciplines that aims to change all that. In The End of Mental Illness, Dr. Amen draws on the latest findings of neuroscience to challenge an outdated psychiatric paradigm and help readers take control and improve the health of their own brain, minimizing or reversing conditions that may be preventing them from living a full and emotionally healthy life.

      The End of Mental Illness will help you discover:
      *Why labeling someone as having a “mental illness” is not only inaccurate but harmful

      *Why standard treatment may not have helped you or a loved one-and why diagnosing and treating you based on your symptoms alone so often misses the true cause of those symptoms and results in poor outcomes

      *At least 100 simple things you can do yourself to heal your brain and prevent or reverse the problems that are making you feel sad, mad, or bad

      *How to identify your “brain type” and what you can do to optimize your particular type

      *Where to find the kind of health provider who understands and uses the new paradigm of brain health

    • Fruitful Life : Discovering Jesus’ Invitation In The Sermon On The Mount –

      $20.00

      Discover the Path to Spiritual Growth

      Jesus frequently used fruitfulness as a metaphor of growth and vitality in our faith. Just as a plant’s fruitfulness reveals its health, there are spiritual characteristics that reveal our own growth and vitality.

      But how do we get a life of fruitful obedience when we’re exhausted, anxious, and busy? Jesus tells and shows us the way in his most famous sermon, The Sermon on the Mount. Much more than a list of rules–we discover that it’s Jesus’ vision of a good and fruitful life.

      In their new eight-week Bible study A Fruitful Life, Ashley and Bryce Hales help readers dive deep into the Sermon on the Mount, and explore a life spent living and loving as Jesus did.

      A Fruitful Life includes:

      *Eight sessions for group or individual use that include access to video teaching.
      *Individual reflections for each day of the week for deeper study and sustained engagement.

      A Fruitful Life isn’t just about reading Scripture; it’s about fully engaging with the text and seeing how God’s Word can transform our daily lives.

    • 9 Asks : Creating Safer And More Courageous Spaces

      $3.25

      Kimberly Brazwell’s concept of the “nine asks” lays out the practical expectations we should bring to communal engagement and explains how healing from trauma is the responsibility of communities, not simply individuals.

      Organizations have a responsibility to ensure that people who come there to work, worship, or volunteer won’t experience harm.

      Creating a safe space is easier said than done. People bring to their organizations their own personal and communal trauma, and others may bring assumptions and behaviors that cause further hurt and offense. Kimberly Danielle’s concept of the “nine asks” lays out the practical expectations we should bring to communal engagement and explains how healing from trauma is the responsibility of communities, not simply individuals.

      Among the nine asks are:

      *Be honest and vulnerable
      *Respect boundaries
      *Offer no judgment
      *Maintain confidentiality
      *Respect the process of learning the right language
      *Take the time to listen first

      With Danielle’s explanation of these principles-supported by stories and examples from the myriad teams she has coached-your church, nonprofit, or business will be well equipped to create a culture that truly supports and empowers people to be their best, healthiest selves.

    • Summer We Forgot

      $16.99

      Caroline George once again transports readers with lush, evocative prose, leading them to ask the question: what happens when we can’t even trust ourselves?

      Some memories are better left forgotten.

      Darby and Morgan haven’t spoken for two years, and their friend group has splintered. But when the body of their former science teacher is found in the marsh where they attended camp that summer, they realize they have more questions than answers . . . and even fewer memories.

      No one remembers–or no one is talking.

      The group of reunited friends suspects that a murderer is stalking the coastal highway 30A, and they are desperate to recover their memories as quickly as possible . . . before their history they can’t remember repeats itself.

      Everyone has a secret.

      As tensions rise and time runs out, Darby and Morgan begin to wonder if they can believe one another . . . or if they can even trust themselves.

    • Tears Of Things

      $27.00

      How do we live compassionately in a time of violence and despair? What can we do with our private disappointments and the anger we feel in such an unjust world? In his most personal book yet, Richard Rohr turns to the writings of the Jewish prophets, revealing how some of the lesser-read books of the Bible offer us a crucial path forward today.

      The prophets’ writings reflect the full spectrum of human maturity. In almost every case, their initial rage and their accusatory words evolve into a profound pathos and lamentation about our shared human condition and the world’s suffering. Through astute critiques of culture and institutions, and their journey from anger to sadness, and ultimately compassion, the prophets exemplify what Rohr calls “sacred criticism”–a distinct approach to confronting evil and injustice that acknowledges the wholeness of history, the interconnectedness of every living being, and the reality of a divine and universal love. In this, they set the stage for Jesus, who follows this identical pattern.

      Drawing on a century of biblical scholarship and written in the warm, pastoral voice that has endeared Rohr to millions, The Tears of Things breathes new life into ancient wisdom. It paves a path of enlightenment for anyone seeking a compassionate way of living in a hurting world.

    • Lords Supper : A Guide To The Heavenly Feast

      $18.99

      You receive Communion. But what does it mean?

      In The Lord’s Supper: A Guide to the Heavenly Feast, John W. Kleinig awakens a hunger for meeting Jesus in the bread and wine. The Bible tells us that Jesus came from heaven to earth to give us himself, and his self-giving continues in the meal that he hosts. In the sacrament of Communion, Jesus offers believers nothing less than his holy, life-giving body and cleansing blood. He brings heaven to earth for us and gives us a foretaste of the heavenly supper of the Lamb. And by faith, we commune with him. In the Eucharist, Christians give thanks for God’s gift of himself.

    • Blessed In The Mess

      $19.99

      Renowned Bible teacher and #1 New York Times bestselling author Joyce Meyer shows readers how to not just survive but thrive amidst both the everyday and the monumental messes we experience in life.

      Life is often messy. We hear people say, “My life is a mess,” or “This situation is a mess.” What they mean is that life has become difficult, painful or confusing. But God never promised us a trouble-free life. In fact, His Word tells us to expect the opposite. In John 16:33, Jesus says, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (NIV).

      In Blessed in the Mess, beloved Bible teacher Joyce Meyer shows us how to be blessed in the midst of life’s most challenging circumstances. The Bible is filled with instructions on how to handle ourselves when difficulty comes our way, and Blessed in the Mess shares that wisdom through poignant and practical teaching that equips us to remain stable and hopeful in every situation. No matter what problems we may face, there is a way to remain joyful and patient as God works on them. If you have not handled the messy issues or challenges in your life well in the past, then with God’s help, you can begin to manage them better, starting now.

      We should never waste our pain. Through the wisdom distilled in this book, we can learn how to gain something from our messes, use those insights to avoid trouble in the future, and share our experiences to help other people find blessings in the midst of their messes.

    • Filling Station : A Novel – Based On True Historical Events

      $18.99

      Two sisters. One unassuming haven. Endless opportunities for grace.

      Sisters Margaret and Evelyn Justice have grown up in the prosperous Greenwood District of Tulsa, Oklahoma–also known as Black Wall Street. In Greenwood, the Justice sisters had it all–movie theaters and entertainment venues, beauty shops and clothing stores, high-profile businesses like law offices, medical clinics, and banks. While Evelyn aspires to head off to the East Coast to study fashion design, recent college grad Margaret plans to settle in Greenwood, teaching at the local high school and eventually raising a family.

      Then the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre upends everything they know and brings them unspeakable loss. Left with nothing but each other, the sisters flee along what would eventually become iconic Route 66 and stumble upon the Threatt Filling Station, a safe haven and the only place where they can find a shred of hope in oppressive Jim Crow America. At the filling station, they are able to process their pain, fill up their souls, and find strength as they wrestle with a faith in God that has left them feeling abandoned.

      But they eventually realize that they can’t hide out at the filling station when Greenwood needs to be rebuilt. The search for their father and their former life may not give them easy answers, but it can propel them–and their community–to a place where their voices are stronger . . . strong enough to build a future that honors the legacy of those who were lost.

    • Every Deadly Suspicion

      $17.99

      Thirty years after a federal agent and two suspects disappeared in the wilderness, the case is cold, and they’ve never been found. Now their suspected killer is about to go free. But is the truth really what it seems?

      In Dry Oaks, California, Chief of Police Hanna Keyes has long believed her father, Joe, is a murderer, justly imprisoned. When she’s told he’s dying and is being given compassionate release from prison, she wants nothing to do with him. But taking him in might be Hanna’s one shot at cracking the cold case, so she reluctantly agrees to oversee his care.

      Joe’s arrival in Dry Oaks seems to set off a chain reaction of crimes. Then an infamous true-crime podcaster comes sniffing for information, and Hanna’s first love, Jared, shows up just when she least needs the distraction. As Hanna tries to convince Joe to reveal what he knows about the missing persons, evidence in the cold case surfaces at a suspiciously rapid pace . . . suggesting there’s more to the murders than people thought.

      With Joe’s strength failing, Hanna and her colleagues look for answers, not only about the past but also about recent criminal dealings in Dry Oaks. As the puzzle pieces start to fit together, it becomes clear that there’s a sinister plot at work, far more wide-reaching than anyone suspected, and that someone is desperate to silence the truth at any cost.

      We hear stories all the time about the supernatural–miraculous healings, unexplained sightings, near-death experiences–but how do we know what is real? Are rumors of spiritual beings, healings, and prophetic dreams dangerous deceptions, or is there something important for us to explore? Join investigative journalist and former atheist Lee Strobel as he examines the evidence and considers how we should think about the unseen world–and the God who made and rules over it.

In Seeing the Supernatural, Lee weaves together his best material from several previous books with dynamic new and never-published interviews to investigate what the Bible really teaches about the unseen world.

      *Avoid common mistakes people make, including both ignoring the supernatural and becoming obsessed with it

      *Have answers ready for when you face objections or deceptions that are common in a world of supernatural counterfeits

      *Draw closer to God as you catch glimpses of his power and glory in ways you don’t typically experience

    • Hes Got Your Six

      $14.99

      We are in a spiritual battle, and it is important to know how to prepare for this battle and understand the tactics of the enemy so as not to be caught off-guard. Without biblical principles and teachings, we fall short of God’s will for our lives, and we may rely on our own understanding, often missing the root causes of the issues that cause anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts. The Bible clearly spells out a path that leads to contentment, and this book aims to reveal God’s purpose for your life. Where there is hope, there is healing. “Got your six” is a common phrase used in police or military jargon. It means that someone is looking out for your back. That phrase was used in battle and protection but the ultimate Protector is God and He’s got your back!

    • Life : My Story Through History

      $19.95

      For the first time, Pope Francis tells the story of his life as he looks back on the momentous world events that have changed history–from his earliest years during the outbreak of World War II in 1939 to the turmoil of today.

      An extraordinary personal and historical journey, Life is the story of a man and a world in dramatic change. Pope Francis recalls his life through memories and observations of the most significant occurrences of the past eight decades, from the Holocaust to the fall of the Berlin Wall, Videla’s coup in Argentina to the moon landing in 1969, and even the 1986 World Cup in which Maradona scored the unforgettable “hand of God” goal.

      Here are the frank assessments and intimate insights of a pastor reflecting on the Nazi extermination of the Jews, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the 2001 terrorist attack on America and the collapse of the Twin Towers, the great economic recession of 2008, the Covid-19 pandemic, the retirement of Pope Benedict XVI, and the subsequent conclave that elected him Pontiff. The “pope callejero” recounts these world-changing moments with the candor and compassion that distinguishes him, and offers important messages on major crises confronting us now, including social inequalities, climate change, international war, atomic weapons, racial discrimination, and the battles over social and cultural issues.

    • God Can We Chat

      $18.99

      When we find ourselves at the crossroads of doubt and faith, distant from God and worried our faith is slipping away, it’s hard to know where to turn.

      Some books tell you why your faith still holds true, and despite your growing unease, they insist you hold on to and even find certainty in what you’ve been taught. This isn’t one of those books. Yes, our questions hold power. But rather than destroying or weakening our faith, they build and strengthen it–one honest chat at a time.

      God, Can We Chat? invites you to take Jesus at his word when he calls you to come as you are right now–a doubting believer or perhaps even a believing doubter–to experience the intimacy and rest your soul craves in the midst of fear, doubt, anger, or confusion. Rather than attempting to answer all your questions or settle ongoing theological debates, author Niki Hardy helps you see doubts not as the end of your faith but as the beginning of an honest and fearless relationship with God–the one who is not threatened by our questions and who calls us not to unwavering belief but unrelenting love.

    • Enemies In The Orchard

      $9.99

      Set against the backdrop of WWII, this achingly beautiful middle grade novel in verse based on American history presents the dual perspectives of Claire, a Midwestern girl who longs to enter high school and become a nurse even as she worries for her soldier brother, and Karl, a German POW who’s processing the war as he works on Claire’s family farm. This poignant and moving story of an unlikely connection will stay with readers long after the final page.

      It’s October 1944, and while Claire’s older brother, Danny, is off fighting in World War II, her dad hires a group of German POWs to help with the apple harvest on their farm. Claire wants nothing to do with the enemies in the orchard, until she meets soft-spoken, hardworking Karl. Could she possibly have something in common with a German soldier?

      Karl, meanwhile, grapples with his role in the war as he realizes how many lies Hitler’s regime has spread–and his complacency in not standing up against them. But his encounters with Claire give him hope that he can change and become the person he wants to be.

      Inspired by the little-known history of POW labor camps in the United States, this lyrical verse novel is told in alternating first-person poems by two young people on opposite sides of the war. Against a vivid backdrop of home front tensions and daily life, intimate entries reveal Claire’s and Karl’s hopes and struggles, and their growing friendship even as the war rages on. What are their chances of connection, of redemption, of peace?

      Enemies in the Orchard is:

      *A gorgeously written novel in verse for ages 9 and up
      *Historical fiction based on true events during WWII
      *A heartfelt story that explores connection, trauma, and hope

Despite her responsibilities, Jennie harbors dreams of going back to school and longs for something even simpler: a friend. One day, in a moment of impulsive and seemingly hopeless prayer, she asks God for companionship.

      Her prayer is answered almost immediately with the arrival of Leo Day, a paleontology student searching for ancient bones buried along the ridges of the wild Arkansas River. Despite her long workdays, Jennie agrees to guide Leo in his quest.

    • Gods Wounds : The Remarkable Truth Of Those Who Bore The Signs Of Christ’s

      $18.95

      In the long, wonderful, and sometimes weird history of supernatural phenomena in the Catholic Church, perhaps the most stunning example is the stigmata: the miraculous appearance of Christ’s holy wounds on the bodies of ordinary believers. For centuries, these manifestations of the marks of Jesus’s passion have been a subject of great piety and devotion-and controversy. Are they real or are they faked? What is the evidence? And if they are real, what could possibly be God’s reason for causing them? In God’s Wounds, John Clark offers what may be the most thorough, honest, and faithful reckoning with the stigmata ever written. Neither cynical nor naive, he takes evidence for the phenomena at face value and tries to make sense of it both medically and spiritually. He looks at stigmatists both famous (like St. Francis and Padre Pio) and obscure, and he scrutinizes the details of historical accounts for cohesion with science, reason, and the Catholic tradition. God’s Wounds is a uniquely valuable new work on many levels. As a sleuthing history of the stigmata, it reveals the breadth and detail of this fascinating miracle over time. As an apologetic for the miraculous, it will help you understand and explain (to unbeliever and skeptical Christian alike!) the wondrous and extraordinary ways that God sometimes works in history. And perhaps above all, as a meditation on the Passion it will strengthen your devotion to the One who first bore these sacred marks for our salvation.

    • Sirach

      $83.31

      The seventeen New Testament volumes in the successful Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture series have been widely acclaimed. The series recently expanded to include readable yet substantive Old Testament commentaries that integrate the best of contemporary biblical scholarship with the traditional understanding of the Old Testament books as prophesying and prefiguring Christ.

      In Sirach, Andre Villeneuve makes a lesser-known deuterocanonical book accessible to readers. Drawing connections between Sirach, ancient Jewish and Christian commentaries, the theology of St. Thomas Aquinas, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Villeneuve demonstrates that Sirach is a treasure trove of enduring wisdom that continues to speak to every age.

      Written from a standpoint of faith in the Holy Spirit’s inspiration of Scripture, CCSS Old Testament commentaries are designed for preaching, teaching, and applying Scripture to Christian life today. They include quotations from Church documents, Church Fathers, and saints and are packed with features that make them particularly useful to those doing ministry in Catholic parishes. General editors for the series are Mary Healy (Sacred Heart Major Seminary), Mark Giszczak (Augustine Institute), and Peter S. Williamson (Sacred Heart Major Seminary).
