The Practice of the Presence of God

Brother Lawrence

$19.99
In stock

Here is a guide for all Christians aspiring to union with God, which, according to Brother Lawrence, is the ultimate goal of every soul. The new Image edition of The Practice of the Presence of God is a reissue of the 1977 translation that was the first to appear in decades. It features an in-depth Introduction by John J. Delaney that examines what is known about Lawrence's life, how the book came to be, and its ongoing relevance throughout the ages. In the words of this humble seventeenth-century lay Carmelite, "we must trust God once and for all and abandon ourselves to Him alone." This difficult task necessarily requires perseverance and continual conversation with God in all activities great and small: "speaking humbly and talking lovingly with Him at all times, at every moment, without rule or system..." In reading these conversations, letters, and spiritual maxims, we learn the key to endless joy. In short, this little spiritual classic -- in its fresh, contemporary English tra..

Anointed for Work

Richard Brunton

$5.99
In stock

In recent years there have been some excellent books written about faith in the workplace. But as I talk to normal, everyday Christians, I’ve found that very few people seem to really believe and embrace the truth that the Holy Spirit wants to help believers in their daily work just as much as when they contribute at church. He wants to come alongside us at the o ce, on the building site, in the home, or wherever our workplace is. As we surrender our workplace skills to Him, He will add love, inspiration, creativity and beauty to what we produce. I believe that God takes great delight in this partnership. After all, we were created by Him for joy and intimacy...

Dominum et Vivicantem

Pope John Paul 2nd

$14.50
In stock

In 1986 John Paul II completed his Trinitarian encyclicals, begun with Redemptor Hominis (on Jesus Christ) in 1979, and then Dives in Misericordia (on God the Father) in 1980. Already setting the Church’s sights on the great Jubilee of the year 2000, marking ‘the passage from the second to the third Christian Millennium’, Pope John Paul reflects on the Holy Spirit, as the one who is at the centre of the Christian faith and is the source and dynamic power of the Church’s renewal. This encyclical has been drawn from the heart and heritage of the Second Vatican Council, and its rich teaching on the Church in herself and the Church in the world. The text explores the spirit of the Father and Son given to the Church, the spirit who convinces the world of sin, and the spirit who above all else gives life, leading to the realization that the way of the Church passes through the heart of man, because here is the hidden place of the salvific encounter with the Holy Spirit. ..

GRACE: On the Journey to God

Michael Casey

Grace is so common that we rarely notice, says Michael Casey. This soon-to-be classic of the spiritual life shows how there is grace in discontinuity, in desire, even in temptation. Also, with grace comes faith, prayer, silence, and revelation to realise that everything happening in our lives is somehow the gift of our loving Father. Michael Casey, OCSO, a monk of Tarrawarra Abbey in Australia has been a popular retreat leader and author of spiritual books for half a century...

Huia Come Home

J Ruka

$26.50
In stock

Huia e huia, tangata kotahi! Huia, your destiny is to bring everyone together! Māori proverb Once the sacred guardian of New Zealand’s native forests, the huia was a symbol of the land’s unique beauty and spirituality. The rare bird’s tragic extinction in the early 1900s represents a shot to the heart of Aotearoa and is a potent metaphor for a country’s conflicted history. Using the story of the untimely extinction of the huia, Jay Ruka offers a fresh perspective on the narrative of Aotearoa; a tale of two cultures, warring worldviews, and the things we lost in translation. Revisiting the early missionaries, the transformative message of the gospel and the cultural missteps of the Treaty of Waitangi, Huia Come Home invites us to reconnect with the unique story offered by the indigenous Māori lens. In relearning the history that lies in the soil of Aotearoa, we might just find a shared hope for the future and a recovery of national treasures once thought to be extinct...

Sunday Homilies Cycle B

Herbert F. Smith, SJ

$19.99
Available on request

Through the use meaningful quotes and colorful examples, these homiletic reflections on the liturgical readings for the Sundays and major feast days of Cycle B are meant to inform, edify and inspire the faithful who read or hear them. The message is so clearly expounded and with such an economy of words – that the profound scholarship behind it never obscures the practical application to the everyday lives of the people to whom it is addressed. “In preaching retreats to priests, but also to religious and laity, I find today a great hunger among many to meet Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior in the immediacy of deeper prayer in the Spirit. They are turning to commentaries on the revealed books of Holy Scripture. Priests, but also the laity, are searching for insights from homiletic commentaries for preaching, teaching religion or as aids to personal and group prayer. To them, I highly recommend this present volume.” – George A. Maloney, SJ. In the Foreword ..
