Proclaiming His Kingdom

Fuellenbach John,SVD

$22.50
In stock

Since the earlier edition of the small volume was so well received, the basic content of this revised edition will remain the same. The new text is stylistically reworked and necessary corrections were made by Fr. Patrick Connor, SVD to whom I owe a special word of thanks. A number of new stories have been added or replaced, and the questions for reflection were partly reworded. Two new conferences were added: Conversion of St. Paul and Poverty: Option for the Poor. Special thanks goes to Sister Christel Daun, S.Sp.S. for her help in selecting the stories, and for her assistance in so many ways with the new edition. We had some difficulty in selecting a suitable title. Although the book was originally meant for religious and priests, surprisingly it reached many lay people as well who wanted to follow the Lord more dedicatedly. We, therefore, decided to leave the title as it was worded in the second printing of the first edition. ..

Reaching Out For Joy

Amsberry Father John

You are familiar St. Paul's writings, correct? Sometimes one line can become very long and convoluted and even turn almost a whole chapter of a book. He would not get an "A" for grammar. But, in some ways I say, "So what? Big deal. He does not have to be perfect." Some say he wrote in the imperfect manner that he did because he was so full of grace that it was uncontainable and spilling out all over the place. Welling up with grace and words and light and life, St. Paul just filled the page as God rushed forth! And that is the way I would like you to look at this book. It is not perfect but neither am I. This book is about a perfectly loving God coming to save a sinner like me and you. It is about God rushing in with his grace and words and light and life to create this book, however imperfect it might be. So, I pray that God will be uncontainable in you and you will not worry so much about having perfect presentation and grammar in your life. You do not have to have your house in or..
