"A most serious contribution to interfaith understanding." Ideological Jihad is a mixture of personal testimony and comparative theology in the very current and public debate about the so called clash of civilisations. It primarily addresses the spiritual divide between the Christian tradition of the West, which encompasses separation of church and state, and the Islamic tradition which emodies unity of 'church' and state. The spiritual divide is seen as inseperable from the political divide. Highlighting the rising Islamisation in Australia, it's message is relevant to all of Western civilisation. Ideological Jihad responds to issues including secularism, women and Jihad, and asks if Waleed Aly's book "People Like Us; How arrogance is dividing Islam and the West" is not itself just an exercise in Ideological Jihad. "A persistent and thoughtful dialogue, attending carefully to what Muslims have to say, and asking searching questions. The author has not only carefully examined the v..

Mums, Dads and Teachers: Children learn to tell “fibs” very early in life. As children grow and learn, it is important they are taught honesty and truthfulness. These are important building blocks for good character and need to be nurtured and hurts others. There are many examples of this throughout the stories of the Bible. This book uses the story of Joseph to illustrate the importance of telling the truth. Proverbs teaches us that God does not like lying lips, but he delights in those who are truthful. I hop you and your child can use this book to discuss the importance of honesty. Lenny the Lying Lemur “Jumping jellybeans – I am not a monkey, I am a lemur!” says Lenny.

Will Lenny and Francy become good friends or will the young lemur’s lying lead to trouble and hurt others? Oh blimey Slimey!

This document underlines the "roots of obedience" found "in that search for God and His will which is also the will of believers". The text also deals with the issue of "difficult obedience", when "the demands made on the religious are particularly hard to meet" or when - in the words of St Francis of Assisi - the person who must obey feels that there are "better or more useful things for his soul than those ordered him by his superior". In these situations we appeal to "Christ first among the obedient" who "learned obedience through all he suffered". The function of authority is presented through the category of "human mediation" of God's will. The document goes on to clarify that this does not mean "the will of the superior coincides perfectly with God's own will". When, however, a person in religious life is faced with a legitimate order from a superior, the Lord asks him or her to obey the authority which in that moment represents Him...

Erma Bombeck once wrote, "When I stand before God at the end of my life I would hope that not one single bit of talent is left, and I could say, 'I have used everything You gave me.'" To use as effectively as possible the time, talents and energy we have been given by God is what this book is all about. Time is short, our obligations are many, the needs of those we serve are often serious and urgent. How we juggle these disparate elements of our lives in such a way that we don't burn out in the process but are rather enriched ourselves in the ministry we perform is very important. The author calls upon his many years of involvement in management and ministry to provide the helpful advice found in these pages. May all those involved in ministry of any kind find herein the enlightenment and encouragement they seek...

How the Catholic Church after Vatican 11 Took over the leadership of the World Ecumenical Movement. The last several popes have made the quest for Church unity an item of the highest priority on their agendas. This issue is dealt with in this extraordinarily well researched and very readable book...

This book, the author wrote in 1931, is an attempt to judge contemporary ideas in the field of morals, religion, science, evolution, sociology, psychology and humanism in the light of the philosophical daylight called 'common sense.' If at times it criticizes certain views on the grounds of their unreasonableness, it does so to prepare for a view which seems more reasonable. If at other times it shows that what is wrong with a certain philosophical outlook is an emphasis on a part against the whole, it does so in order to suggest a view that is more catholic in the sense of being the whole truth. There is little sympathy in these pages for those who believe that everything modern is good, or that everything modern is bad. The remarkable -- if unsettling -- discovery is that seventy-five years later, Bishop Sheen's challenge to tired old errors still finds some of them huffing and puffing under entirely new garb...
