Product Description

Beyond a House Divided - The Moral Consensus Ignored by Washington, Wall Street, and the Media
If you follow politics or the news, America is a country of culture wars and great divides, a partisan place of red states and blue states, of us against them. From pundits to politicians it seems that anyone with an audience sees a polarized country - a country at war with itself. In a radical departure from this "conventional wisdom," Carl Anderson explores what the talking heads have missed: an overwhelming American consensus on many of the country's seemingly most divisive issues

A Civilization of Love - What Every Catholic Can Do to Transform the World
By popularizing not only John Paul's vision but also that of his successor, Benedict XVI, Anderson hopes to inspire Christians to work toward creating a civilization of love. In such a civilization every person is a child of God. We are all intrinsically valuable. The battle today is between the culture of death (where people are judged by their social or economic value) and the culture of life.

Our Lady of Guadalupe- Mother of the Civilization of Love
Our Lady of Guadalupe has played a central role in the growth of Catholicism in Mexico and throughout the Western Hemisphere. In Our Lady of Guadalupe, Anderson and Chavez trace her history as a religious and cultural symbol from the sixteenth century to the present. Looking at the changing face of the Catholic Church in North, South, and Central America, they show how Our Lady of Guadalupe has become a significant figure within the Churches a potent symbol of peace and unity to all peoples of the Americas.
