Prison Journal Vol 3

Cardinal George Pell

$42.50
In stock

That final verdict came after George Cardinal Pell endured a gruelling four years of accusations, investigations, trials, public humiliations, and more than a year of imprisonment after being convicted by an Australian court of a crime he did not commit. Led off to jail in handcuffs, following his sentencing on March 13, 2019, the 78-year-old Australian prelate began what was meant to be six years in jail for "historical sexual assault offenses". Cardinal Pell endured more than thirteen months in solitary confinement, before the Australian High Court voted 7-0 to overturn his original convictions. His victory over injustice was not just personal, but one for the entire Catholic Church. Bearing no ill will toward his accusers, judges, prison workers, journalists, and those harbouring and expressing hatred for him, the cardinal used his time in prison as a kind of "extended retreat". He eloquently filled notebook pages with his spiritual insights, prison experiences, and personal refle..

Utopia Thomas More

Dominic Baker-Smith

$31.99
In stock

In Utopia , Thomas More gives us a traveller's account of a newly discovered island where the inhabitants enjoy a social order based on natural reason and justice, and human fulfilment is open to all. As the traveller, Raphael, describes the island to More, a bitter contrast is drawn between this rational society and the custom-driven practices of Europe. So how can the philosopher try to reform his society? In his fictional discussion, More takes up a question first raised by Plato and which is still a challenge in the contemporary world. In the history of political thought few works have been more influential than Utopia , and few more misunderstood...

John Fisher and Thomas More

Robert J. Conrad Jr.

$45.00

In 1929, nearly four hundred years after the deaths of Saints Thomas More and John Fisher, G.K. Chesterton observed in words equally attributable to Fisher, “Blessed Thomas More is more important at this moment than at any moment since his death, even perhaps the great moment of his dying; but he is not quite so important as he will be in a hundred years.” Judge Robert J Conrad, Jr. anticipates Chesterton’s one-hundred-year mark in a collection of stories from the lives of More and Fisher, demonstrating how their sanctity and integrity carried them and those who loved them through tumultuous and heart-wrenching times which, perhaps surprisingly, bear a striking resemblance to the present epoch. At first blush, nothing could appear more different than the pre-industrial sixteenth century and the tech-centered modern era. But a closer examination presents a similar tale of political maneuvering and hostile hearings, legal corruption, viral pandemics, riots, suppression of speech, loss of..

Hope For Hard Times

Life is hard. And there are all sorts of pitfalls along the way. Nowhere do we find a more overwhelming chronicle of hard times than in the Bible itself. The Old Testament is a long record of the disappointments and disasters that came upon the people of Israel. And therein lies the real story... Within every Scripture story of God's discipline, we find God's unceasing redemption. Within every story of man's stubbornness or selfishness that leads to strife, we find God's loving grace that leads us back to safety. God doesn't just take pity take on us; he empowers us. But only when we cease to rely on our own strength can we discover that God's strength is always there for us. Theologian and TV host Scott Hahn shows us how we can use the Bible to deal with hard times, to get over hard times, and yes, even to rejoice in hard times. About the Author Best-selling author Dr. Scott Hahn is one of the foremost Scripture scholars as the Pope Benedict XVI Chair of Biblical Theology and Lit..

One day, philosopher Peter Kreeft reads an open letter published by a friend, Nat Whilk. He's Catholic, but he sees the Church as unsteady, outdated, obsessive. As a challenge to the "True Believers", Nat pens a twenty-point manifesto for "cafeteria Catholics", who pass up certain Church teachings and scoop up others like a diner in a buffet line."I find in [Catholicism] both much to accept and even love and also much to refuse and even despise", he asserts. "If you insist on tying God to the Church, you will make me an atheist."..

Two Patients My Convesion

Dr. John Bruchalski

After a terrible mistake in the delivery room, an OB/GYN resident goes on a soul-seeking journey halfway across the world that challenges everything he knows about the medical status quo―and changes the future of pro-life healthcare. Two Patients is a story of radical forgiveness and unimaginable love that leads a formerly pro-choice physician to pioneer a new frontier in the pro-life movement today: merciful medicine. That new frontier is one in which physicians respect women’s fertility, treat children with compassion at each moment of biological growth, grieve alongside mothers and fathers when a pregnancy is lost, and see patients regardless of their financial situation. Dr. Bruchalski gives us a glimpse of just how merciful and extraordinary the relationship between a doctor and his two patients―mother and child―is truly meant to be...

By Strange Ways Theologians and Their Paths To The Catholic

Jonathan Fuqua & Daniel Strudwick

$42.00
In stock

The stories of these men and women exemplify a variety of starting points for considering the Catholic Church. Agnosticism, Secularism, New Age thought, and various stripes of Christianity are all considered in light of the Catholic alternative. The theological vocation specially prompts these authors to question their theological presuppositions as they encounter a Catholic alternative that increasingly gains intellectual credibility the more they study it. Although the theological truth of the Catholic faith captured the attention of these theologians and cleared a space into which the seed of supernatural faith could be planted, each of these essays tells a fully human story. The contributions are not merely collections of arguments; they are stories of grace. Among the ten converts here are well-known professors and writers including Scott Hahn, Lawrence Feingold, Melanie Barrett, Petroc Willey and Jeff Morrow. Each story is unique, and details the various perceptible ways God dre..

From The Susquehanna To The Tiber

Jeremy Christiansen

$37.00
In stock

This work offers a unique, first-hand, and intimate account of growing up and living as a faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, popularly known as the Mormon Church. But as he grew into manhood, Jeremy Christiansen began experiencing the deep and painful disillusionment of a loss of faith. He tells about his journey of a search for God and the truth that he eventually found in the Roman Catholic Church. Through a vivid memoir based on detailed personal journals, this book explores the highly unique approach to religious epistemology found in Mormonism. Although in theory the faith encourages the use of reason, in practice, Mormons’ beliefs in the truth claims of their church are highly dependent on emotional self-confirmation. Christiansen offers singular insight into the life of a faithful Mormon within this system, growing up in a small Mormon town, serving as a Mormon missionary for two years in Argentina, raising a family and serving in Mormon leadersh..
