The Seven Days

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Anyone who has ever found the configuration of the Bible to be confusing will enjoy The Seven Days: Making Sense of the Bible’s Structure. Claire Wilcox asks, “If all Scripture is God-breathed, then wouldn’t the Bible’s structure also be divinely inspired?” For both veteran and new readers of the Bible, this book provides a thought-provoking look at the creation that reveals God’s plan for salvation woven throughout the structure of the Bible. Its canonical sequence of sixty-six books finally makes sense. Rather than a stand-alone narrative, the first creation story of Genesis can be read as the thematic key to the God-breathed structural organization of the Bible. By correlating sense and structure to the entire biblical canon for each of the seven days of creation, the author breaks new ground. Discover great and hidden things that go far beyond anything you’ve ever known by using structural analysis to understand the Bible.

Making God The Center Of Your Life A Manual For Catholics

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

When Jesus was asked which commandment is the greatest of all, he replied, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment." (Matthew 22:37-38). However, very few of us make a commitment to plan time for and with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ-but we clear our schedules for vacations, dinner engagements, doctors' appointments, athletic training, entertainment events, and even to scroll through Facebook. This book provides a simple framework to make God the center of your life over time. Like any other plan, if we try to do too much, we will fail or get frustrated and just stop or abandon it altogether-and that's why it's important to start small and build slowly. Filled with inspirational verses from the Bible and suggested tasks and activities to advance on your spiritual journey, this resource will help you move slowly but surely to the Lord.

Weaving The American Catholic Tapestry

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Concerned that American Catholic theology has struggled to find its own voice for much of its history, William Portier has spent virtually his entire scholarly career recovering a usable past for Catholics on the U.S. landscape. This work of ressourcement has stood at the intersection of several disciplines and has unlocked the beauty of American Catholic life and thought. These essays, which are offered in honor of Portier's life and work, emerge from his vision for American Catholicism, where Scripture, tradition, reason, and experience are distinct, but interwoven and inextricably linked with one another. As this volume details, such a path is not merely about scholarly endeavors but involves the pursuit of holiness in the "real" world.

Escape From Evil S Darkness

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

In this second volume of the Called Out of Darkness trilogy, Father Robert Spitzer, S.J., draws together some of the best advice given by Catholic spiritual masters across the ages and brings it into harmony with modern scientific research, offering practical ways to live out the gospel in our busy days. It is a roadmap to a deeper relationship with the Lord and to authentic transformation through the imitation of Christ. Giving evidence that Jesus established just one Church, with Peter as its head, Spitzer shows that the Catholic Church—with its rich array of sacraments, teachings, prayer traditions, and lived examples of holiness—continues to be fertile ground for profound Christian conversion. But no true conversion is purely spiritual; it must bear fruit in our daily lives. Father Spitzer guides readers through the workings of moral transformation, with detailed sketches of all the cardinal and theological virtues, especially love. Using insights from Saint Ignatius of Loyola, as well as from modern psychology, Escape from Evil's Darkness concludes with an in-depth study of the sacrament of confession and the staggering power of God's loving mercy.
