The Mystery of Holy Night

By Dietrich Bonhoeffer; Manfred Weber
48 pp., Hardcover, PhP 150
Category: Religion / General Interest

"Joy is with God. She descends from him and fastens onto our spirits, body and soul. And whenever and wherever God's Joy gets hold of us, there she will come out, catch on, and tear apart locked doors." -- From the book.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was imprisoned by the Gestapo in April 1943 and murdered two years later at the age of 39. These meditations--selected from his own writings and homilies--reflect on that deepest meaning of Christmas that can shine through even the darkest moments of life. The text and color artwork invite readers to share Bonhoeffer's deep faith in the reality of Christmas, no matter what our circumstances.

Mystical Healing

Ministry and Prayer in Ignatius Loyola's Spiritual Exercises
By John Philip Horn
160 pp., PhP 75
Category: Spirituality

Long before there was Freud, there was the brilliant doctor of the Soul, Ignatius Loyola. Mystical Healing is an in-dept analysis of his famous exercises at work. The Spiritual Exercises are a type of map for the human heart to follow in prayer. Through the use of case studies, Horn shows the Exercises to be as useful and cogent today as they were four hundred years ago. With each individual study there is a penetrating theological and spiritual/ psychological analysis of the people, the process, and the wooing of the Spirit. Many books have been written about the Exercises, but few offer this blend of the experiential and theoretical as Iganatian prayer is illuminated.
