Gods Influencer : Holy Advice From St. Carol Acutis
$17.95
He played video games, excelled athletically and academically, manifested contagious joy and wit – even in suffering – and befriended all those he met. St. Carlo Acutis (1991-2006), already hailed “the greatest saint of the century,” was a Thomas Aquinas in blue jeans.
It’s almost unheard of that parents take part in the beatification of their own child. So, too, is it uncommon for parents to miraculously be brought back to the Faith and dedicated Christian living by their child. All this happened in the lives of Antonia and Andrea, the young parents of Carlo, who was beatified on October 10, 2020, by Pope Francis and will be canonized on April 27, 2025.
In this astounding interview, you will marvel as Antonia and Andrea retrace the path they walked with Carlo and share fascinating moments in his life in which his faith matured, including the plan of life that he developed for himself on the day after his First Holy Communion. Reading these intimate stories, you will be struck by how very ordinary their life together was, how common and within reach, and how extraordinary it became once this amazing young man threw his arms open wide to God in his life.
As you read remarkably penetrating passages from St. Carlo’s writings and counsels on the Gospels, the Eucharist, and the mysteries of our Faith, and maxims he shared, this millennial mystic will teach you how to:
*Embrace seven “special secrets” on becoming a saint
*Fall in love with Jesus in the Holy Eucharist and transmit the Faith spontaneously to others
*Make fruitful Confessions and kindle your spiritual progress in daily practical ways
*Evangelize the culture by “Rendering Eucharist” using modern media and personal witness
*Adore the Eucharist for the transformation of the world and live in “constant intimacy with Jesus”
*Model forgotten virtues, such as friendship, magnanimity, purity, and fortitude
Few may realize that St. Carlo was a brilliant catechist who also created numerous displays about the Faith, most notably the Eucharistic Miracles exhibition of worldwide fame. Through the lens of his spiritual wisdom, you will discover how all of creation points to the Holy Eucharist and why the Real Presence is the source of all family life, evangelization, and holiness. Additionally, you will read testimonies about St. Carlo’s generosity to the poor, the sick, the suffering, the homeless, and the disabled. This saint for our times was concerned and offered prayers for

Prayer
$18.00Renowned pastor and New York Times bestselling author of The Songs of Jesus Timothy Keller explores the power of prayer.
Christians are taught in their churches and schools that prayer is the most powerful way to experience God. But few receive instruction or guidance in how to make prayer genuinely meaningful. In Prayer, renowned pastor Timothy Keller delves into the many facets of this everyday act.
With his trademark insights and energy, Keller offers biblical guidance as well as specific prayers for certain situations, such as dealing with grief, loss, love, and forgiveness. He discusses ways to make prayers more personal and powerful, and how to establish a practice of prayer that works for each reader.
Dr. Keller’s previous books have sold more than one million copies. His Redeemer Presbyterian Church is not only a major presence in his home base of New York, it has also helped to launch more than two hundred fifty other churches in forty-eight cities around the world. His teachings have already helped millions, the majority of whom pray regularly. And with Prayer, he’ll show them how to find a deeper connection with God.

Surprised By Hope
$15.99For years Christians have been asking, “If you died tonight, do you know where you would go?” It turns out Christians have been giving the wrong answer. It is not heaven.
One of today’s premier Bible scholars and award-winning author N.T. Wright outlines the present confusion about a Christian’s future hope and shows how it is deeply intertwined with how we live today. Wright shows that Christianity’s most distinctive idea is bodily resurrection. First, he provides a magisterial defense of a literal resurrection of Jesus himself. This became the cornerstone for the Christian community’s hope in the bodily resurrection of all people at the end of the age. Next Wright explores our expectation of “new heavens and new earth,” showing what happens to the dead until then and what will happen with the “second coming” of Jesus. For many, including many Christians, all this will come as a great surprise.
Wright convincingly argues that what we believe about life after death directly affects what we believe about life before death. For if God intends to renew the whole creation – and if this has already begun in Jesus’s resurrection – the church cannot stop at “saving souls” but must anticipate the eventual renewal by working for God’s kingdom in the wider world, bringing healing and hope in the present life.
Lively and accessible, this book will surprise and excite all who are interested in the meaning of life, not only after death but, before it.
