A Fallible Church Lambeth Essays
Stevenson, K
Books > Catholic Product > Catholic General
"A Fallible Church is a welcome reminder that moments of great crisis are often the most creative, however difficult they might be to live through. It shows that the communion is full of life, creativity and generosity of spirit, telling the neglected story of the enriching diocese-to-diocese partnerships that exist between England and Africa, where most Anglicans now live. It also reawakens a sense of history. It shows that, serious and painful though they may be, there is nothing fundamentally new or different about the current conflicts within Anglicanism." "The leading Anglicans from different backgrounds and traditions brought together here by Kenneth Stevenson believe that, though our generation will make its own mistakes, like past and Future generations, God continues to use the Anglican communion, fallible like all of humanity, for the furtherance of his kingdom.

After This Life: What Catholics Believe .........
Groeschel, Benedict
Books > Catholic Product > Catholic General
Recognizing that anxiety and fear are the most common personal problems he has encountered in nearly forty years of psychological counseling, Father Benedict Groeschel knows first hand that most people prefer to avoid the issue of mortality entirely.
Himself the victim of a hit-and-run accident in 2004, after which he had no vital signs for thirty minutes, Groeschel is uniquely qualified to address this subject.
Father Groeschel notes that the five mysteries death, judgment, Hell, Purgatory, and Heaven are beyond our perception and complete understanding. But through a better understanding of the Christian faith, we can see how consoling and uplifting these truths really are.
In His parables, Jesus spoke often of death and the last judgment. This is because what happens at our moment of death is defined by what is happening to us right now. Learn to live each new day with confidence based on the mercy and love of Our Savior.

Angels Of God: The Bible, The Church 3 CD AudioSet
Aquilina, Mike
Books > Catholic Product > Catholic General
Angels are everywhere—as a matter of fact, right at your side. Forget the sweet-faced cherubs of popular culture, however, and brace yourself for a far more potent reality: powerful heavenly beings who play a significant role in the personal drama of daily life—your life. Drawing on Scripture (where angels appear often, carrying out crucial tasks), the words of the saints and Church teaching, Mike Aquilina shows how developing our "fellowship with the angels is not an ornament on our religion, it's a life skill."

Awakening Vocation: A Theology of Christian Call
Hahnenberg, Edward. P.
Books > Catholic Product > Catholic General
Does God have a specific plan for each of us, or is it more like general guidelines for all of us? How do my gifts and abilities, my personality and particular circumstances, impact my vocation? What is the role of the church in this process? What are the needs of the world that call us to respond? Awakening Vocation explores these questions and breathes new life into an ancient idea rousing vocation from a centuries long slumber. Inspired by the broad and inclusive vision of the Second Vatican Council, the book traces the history of Catholic reflection on vocation and offers a constructive proposal for the present. In plain language, Edward Hahnenberg argues that Catholic thinking on vocation has been frustrated by a deficient theology of grace and that the key to reclaiming the notion of God s call today lies in a vision of God's self-gift reaching across all of human history and into every human heart.

Basic Evangelisation: Guidelines for Catholics
Collins, Pat
Books > Catholic Product > Catholic General
Pope Benedict XVI has said: 'We must reflect seriously on how we might carry out a true evangelization today. People don't know God, they don't know Christ. A new paganism is present, and it is not enough just to maintain the community of believers.' The purpose of this book is to spell out in more details, and with plenty of practical advice and approaches, how exactly this new evangelization might be carried out. Fr Collins covers a wide range of approaches to the project and suggests that every diocese should adapt an evangelization policy and a corresponding agency to implement it, and that every parish should have its own evangelization committee.
