Heaven's Song - Christopher West
Order Now
$14.99
Heaven's Song is a journey through the "hidden" talks of Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body. These undelivered addresses, recently discovered in the Vatican archives, contain John Paul's unedited reflections on the love poetry of the Song of Songs and the Old Testament marriage of Tobias and Sarah. This exciting "new" material - deemed too delicate to be delivered in St. Peter's square - allows men and women in every state of life to discover the "great mystery" of their sexuality as God created it to be: as a revelation of his own life and love.
As countless saints and mystics testify, the Song of Songs, like no other book in the Bible, provides a mystical glimpse into the depths of God's passionate love for us. In order to "enter into" the divine depths of this erotic love poetry, however, we must be "transformed by the renewal of our minds" (Rom 12:2) With profound insight into the mind of John Paul II, author Christopher West demonstrates how union with God passes by way of sexual healing and redemption.
If you are already familiar with John Paul II's Theology of the Body, you will delight in this new material. If not, this book serves as a superb introduction to John Paul's revolutionary teaching and is certain to whet your appetite for more.
The beauty of this book is in its ability to convey John Paul II’s message in terms I can understand. Perhaps the greatest compliment I can give Christopher West is that it has inspired me to examine my own life; personally; within my marriage; within my family; and within the plan that God has for me. I yearn to sing with all my heart, heaven’s song. -- Maria Johnson, Reviewer Program

Order Now
Available as a book or audiobook
For more than a decade, Matthew Kelly has been traveling the world inspiring people to become the-best-version-of-themselves. During this time he has been amazed at how regularly he is asked: How do I encourage my children to embrace this message? How does your message apply to a family? Now, for the first time, Kelly shares with us remarkable insights and sensible everyday strategies for transforming the family into what it should be: a place where each of us can become the-best-version-of-ourselves.
In Building Better Families, Kelly explores important issues by raising evocative questions: What makes a successful parent? Do you realize that your children are in the middle of a cultural war? What are the five things children really need? Are you asking your children the right questions? What are you teaching your children about work, money, food, exercise, body image, and sex? What are the priorities of your family culture?
Every page of this book is filled with examples that can be applied to your daily experience of parenting and family, while at the same time illuminating the broader and deeper significance of family for society and the future of humanity. “The family is at once a deeply personal experience and the cornerstone of all great societies,” Matthew Kelly tells us. Allow this book of classic wisdom and practical insight to help you build a better family.

Pope Benedict XVI
Order Now
$14.95
This item is being sold as a pre-order item and will ship when it is in inventory, expected release date is September 2008.
Pope Benedict’s third encyclical, Love in Truth (Caritas in Veritate), applies the themes of his first two encyclicals - love and hope (God Is Love, Saved in Hope) - to the world’s major social issues. Drawing on moral truths open, in principle, to everyone (the natural law) as well as on the teachings of the gospel (revelation), Pope Benedict addresses Catholics and non-Catholics alike, challenging us all to recognize and then to confront the social evils of our day. In this outstanding work, Pope Benedict shows us why so many observers regard him as the world’s leading moral voice, as well as one of the most insightful and profound social/political thinkers of our day.

Audrey - True Story of a Child's Journey of Faith
Order Now
$14.95
Stricken with leukemia when she was 7 years old, Audrey Stevenson used her remaining months to learn about love, laughter, and what it really means to live in joyful hope. In the process she taught her beloved family and her astonished eyewitnesses about the wonder-working power of a simple "Yes" to God, no matter what he asks of us. Read Audrey's story, carefully recalled in evocative vignettes and treasured photos, and you'll see through this life's final defeat to recognize eternity's ultimate triumph.
Told in an unsentimental style, Audrey's story contains great grace, courage, and faith. It is one that I highly recommend to others, especially if they, like me, cynically doubt a small child's holiness except as a reflection of others' sentimental projections. Audrey is the real deal.
