Newman On Lent
$18.95
St. John Henry Newman, regarded as the most important English theologian of the nineteenth century, poignantly reflects on the thoughts that tormented Jesus as a result of His friends’ betrayals and the anguish of His Heart in willingly suffering all for love of us. These penetrating meditations will enable you to enter more deeply into our Savior’s Passion through multiple vantage points.
This work features three of Cardinal Newman’s most esteemed classics: Meditations on Lent: Hope in God, Redeemer; Sermons on Lent; and Meditations on the Stations of the Cross. In these pages, he invites you to ponder the eternal value of suffering, God’s infinite love for each individual soul, the real reasons for fasting, and why you should repent now.
Through Newman’s magnificently insightful lens, you will discover the actual cause of Jesus’ death and, as you reflect on the magnitude of His sufferings for our sins, be stirred to more ardently seek holiness.
As Newman’s insights challenge you to examine your life more honestly and behold our Savior with deeper compassion, you will:
*Identify more readily with the various players in the Passion
*Learn the secret to receiving God’s healing mercy, in this life and the next
*Journey with Our Lady in her loneliness and sufferings
*Unite your trials, pain, and weakness to Christ, and thereby attain peace
*Experience Jesus’ compassion as you endure temptation and even sin
*Grow in virtue and acceptance of suffering to help you attain Heaven
As Newman shares his innermost thoughts on the sufferings of Our Lord, you will be transported into the scenes and experience His Passion as never before, vividly witnessing His bodily and interior sufferings, and contemplating His Face and His Heart.

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.
