BOOK EXCERPT:
The term "individuarian" describes a person who seeks leadership in service of his community--he is neither blatantly self-interested nor blindly communistic, but seeks to contribute positively to society. In Individuarian Observations, William J. Byron reflects on this concept and the place of individuarians in both the Catholic Church and an American society in the midst of crises and transitions. Byron's sharp insights propose an alternative ethical model based on engaged social participants who are committed to advancing the common good in these difficult times.

BOOK EXCERPT:
On the eve of the most important presidential election in decades, A NATION FOR ALL sounds the trumpet to the tens of millions of U.S. Catholics who have refused to buy the notion that people of faith must subscribe to the narrow agenda of the far right. By shining the light of authentic Catholic teaching on pressing contemporary concerns like war, human dignity, poverty, and the looming global climate crisis, this book shows Catholics how their own faith tradition calls them to tackle a sweeping array of issues commonly left out of the faith and politics dialog. Most important, A NATION FOR ALL demonstrates how the core Catholic and Christian belief in promoting the common good can provide Americans of all faith traditions with a much-needed solution to the downward spiral of greed, materialism, and excessive individualism.

BOOK EXCERPT:
Best selling author William Byron offers here an appealing sequel to his popular A Book of Quiet Prayer. Praying with and for others broadens the concept of personal prayer to a new level to include praying with and for others, particularly for worldwide peace."We cannot go to God alone," he writes. "Nor should we forget, when facing God, that there are persons and problems out there in need of our prayers, and that praying with, not simply for, but with others, extends our reach and raises our silent or vocal prayers to higher levels of effectiveness."The book grows out of the author's experience as a priest and pastor, preacher and spiritual guide, in helping others open up to God. Readers will appreciate Byron's poignant, effective, and very personal approach to prayer. In addition, they will welcome the suggestions he to facilitate faith sharing and group prayer that he offers.

BOOK EXCERPT:
When does the exercise of an interest constitute a human right? The contributors to Menuge’s edited collection offer a range of secular and religious responses to this fundamental question of the legitimacy of human rights claims. The first section evaluates the plausibility of natural and transcendent foundations for human rights. A further section explores the nature of religious freedom and the vexed question of its proper limits as it arises in the US, European, and global contexts. The final section explores the pragmatic justification of human rights: how do we motivate the recognition and enforcement of human rights in the real world? This topical book should be of interest to a range of academics from disciplines spanning law, philosophy, religion and politics.

BOOK EXCERPT:
This is a timely book on the contemporary African priesthood. Just as in other parts of the globe, the African priesthood currently faces a serious crisis of identity. The unfolding crisis puts stress on the clerics and augments the tension with lay people. The model of the Church-as-Family of God opted for by the Church in Africa is a new milestone that puts pressure on Catholic priests to define their role in the new context. The identity and image of priests need to be specified as lay ministries render the Church active from the grassroots. Reflection about the ministry of the clergy in Africa is urgent, and indeed it is an important aspect of enculturation. Nyenyembe demonstrates an admirable capacity to situate his rich theological reflections in an African context.

William J. Byron, SJ, has been a Jesuit for more than 55 years. While readily admitting that there have been some difficult, even painful, days during this period, Father Byron is quick to add that he has never experienced a "fundamentally unhappy" day as a Jesuit. In this revised edition of Jesuit Saturdays, Byron shares with great joy and openness the stories and experiences of his Jesuit journey, offering readers the chance to see what it really is that inspires and motivates Jesuits to do what they do.
