Where can we find the Spirit of God? This book invites the reader to search for it in the Bible, as we have received it from the Apostles. How the Bible arrived to its present form; who is responsible for the contents of the Bible; how the Bible endured over the centuries; why the Bible is so relevant to the people of today; what is really a Catholic Bible; why Protestant have a different Bible; what is the relevance of the Deuterocanonical books... These questions are not new but the reader will find refreshing and probably new answers to these questions. The book is intended for an informed Christian. It has enough biblical references to show the mastery of the Bible by the authors and, at the same time, is clear enough to enlighten the reader and strengthen a deeper sense of belonging to the Church. Gathered in one book are the contributions of two biblical authors: Bernard Hurault and Theo Aerts, msc, both of them have dedicated their life to the research and proclamation of God's message. Fr. Bernard Hurault is the author of the Pastoral Bible, already published in 10 languages and with over 45 million copies in print. Fr. Theo Aerts has taught Bible for many years in Papua New Guinea. |

"Sometimes I think it's an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude emphasizes sharply the values of life. We should live each day with gentleness, vigor, and keenness of appreciation, which are often lost when time stretches before us..." - Fr. Luis G. Hechanova, CSsR

A Century and a half before the time of Jesus, a movement of educated Jewish laity initiated a profound transformation of Judaism. Bernard Lee uses this as a metaphor for a hidden revolution in the U.S. Catholic Church today: the development of a lay interpretation of Catholic Christian identity. He proposes an ecclesiology that believes that the Spirit is God's gift to the entire people of God without priviledge or prejudice. |

An irresistible invitation to experience intimacy with God, others, and self. "What
we long for most," writes susan Muto, "are not occasional
thrills but the grace of steady, everyday intimacy." She convinces

too late to recover a sense of intimacy with God, others, and our true
self. Reading her book is itself an intimate experience; the author

intimacy with love, work and play - a feeling of union and communion
available to each of us here and now. |

Using developmental psychological
theory from Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development, Norma Hann's
emphasis on the role of emotion and defense mechanisms in self-perceptions
related to morality, and Carol Gilligan's theory of sexual differences
in ethics, as well as Martin Hoffman's theory of empathic development,
Shelton constructs a moral theory rooted in the human capacity for empathy.
He considers how empathy is developed, how emotions may be developed,
and how persons become blind to their own immorality, ending with a
brief caution about the limits of empathy. Recommended for all libraries,
but especially for public and seminary libraries. |

faith, hope, and charity. Ultimately, he unmasks the demons that frustrate
our spiritual quest, and reveals the presence of grace in our everyday
human experience. |

A fascinating historical figure--the doomed Renaissance heretic Giordano Bruno, who preached the existence of life on other planets--is revived in an unconvincing fictional milieu by Yanow (The Door in the Wall). Steward to Robert Bellarmine, a cardinal and consulting inquisitor, narrator Pietro Guidotti is sent in 1597 on a picaresque mission through Europe to conduct interviews and get the dirt on the imprisoned Bruno. With contacts provided by Bellarmine, Guidotti meets such notables as the duc d'Epernon, Henry IV of France, John Florio, Sir Walter Raleigh, Lord Burghley, Queen Elizabeth I, Bruno's denouncer Mocenigo and, finally, Bruno himself, who faces execution with Christian forbearance. While Yanow has created a believable character in the roguish Guidotti, Bruno eludes him: Yanow's caricatured pedant bears no interesting relation to the actual scholar. And, despite the ambitious breadth of Yanow's research, his many misspellings and misuses of common Italian and French words alone cast doubt on its depth, while his awkward, anachronistic dialogue ("We wops gotta help each other, I always say") dispels any cinquecento ambience. |

Hugo Ovath wants to be a hero. Coming of age in Eastern Europe after World War II, he offers his youthful idealism and enthusiasm to the Communist Party, whose vision of a better future dazzles him. Agreeing to help infiltrate the Catholic Church, he becomes a priest and eventually a cardinal vitally involved in negotiations between the church and the new Communist government. But his conscience now troubles him. He cannot believe in God but begins to question the party. For he realizes that his utopian dreams have led him to hurt those he loves the most: his parents; his brother, Ferenc; his best friend, Jeno; his onetime lover Eva; and his mentor, Ladislaus. His idealism fades, and when the party, deciding he is no longer an asset, requests him to publicly leave the Church, he defects to Rome. It is not until Hugo is elected pope, however, that he confronts his guilt. Farrell offers a wry, ironic, and unnerving portrayal of the complex political and religious conflicts that helped shape postwar Eastern Europe. |

Praying the Stations of the Cross enables us to walk in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, himself. Evidence dating as far back as the second century AD acknowledges the fact that Christians began this holy practice from the very earliest times in the Church. The Stations of the Cross recall the passion and death of the savior. They help us to remember the great price that Jesus paid for our salvation. In this book, Father Haney provides three additional features to the traditional stations that help the reader become even more enriched by this practice: a fresh emphasis on God's compassion through Scripture; a series of new virtues associated with each station; and a strong meditation applying each virtue to our contemporary society. |

Secularization, as the author sees it, could be compared to the dark night of the senses. It is the most radical purification of the image of God. God is not the "maternal womb" that liberates us from the risks and difficulties of life. This secularization, we insist, is thus a true dark night of the senses. From now on, faith and life with God will be a risky adventure…. |

In this pioneering and comprehensive study of workplace violence, Raymond Flannery discusses the nature of such violence and the kinds of criminal acts committed. Next he reviews the five types of worksite assailants and uses actual cases to demonstrate the impact on the employee victim. Further, he takes the reader into the mind of the assailant to better alert employees and employers about potential problems. The author distills the scientific information that has been gathered on workplace violence and utilizes the latest medical and psychological research to develop specific strategies for risk management. This involves special pre-incident training to prepare workers should an incident occur as well as ways to help employees develop skills in stress management. Also included are practical suggestions to make the work environment more secure. Despite these precautions, should a violent episode occur, Dr. Flannery provides an organized program for dealing with violence and its traumatic aftermath. |
