Catholicism & Fundamentalism     LH701777

His rebuttals are clear, detailed, and charitable. Special emphasis is given to the scriptural basis for Catholic doctrines and beliefs.

“Keating’s book is the classic and standard of all apologetics. He clears away the misperceptions and confusion Bible-only believers have of Catholics and shows why they themselves belong in the Church that wrote the Bible—the Catholic Church!”

Dr. Tim Gray, Author of Peter: Keys to Following Jesus

“I strongly advise honest Fundamentalists not to read this book. They might find their whole position collapsing in ruins.”

Sheldon Vanauken, Author of A Severe Mercy

“Mr. Keating has done his homework—all of it. The fruit of his exhaustive work may be commended most earnestly to all who yearn for the fulfillment of Our Lord’s prayer for unity in John 17.”

Thomas Howard, Author of Evangelical Is Not Enough

“A masterpiece of Catholic apologetics. Keating gives a solid defense of Catholicism against the critical attacks of Fundamentalists, done with patient charity that is bound to convince even the most prejudiced critic of Roman Catholicism.”

By Carrie Gress     Item # DC611479

We all know someone—a parent, sibling, aunt or uncle, coworker, grandparent, child, neighbor, or friend—who has either left the Church or never discovered it. We want them to know the joy and peace we’ve discovered, but the last thing we want to do is to force our faith on them. So how can we bring our loved ones back to the Church?

Jesus was the first and greatest evangelizer. As his disciples, we’re called to share in his mission—to spread his message to others. But going outside your comfort zone to engage the disengaged in meaningful conversations about Catholicism can be overwhelming. Fortunately, there are common patterns that are easy to follow once you recognize them.

In Nudging Conversions, Carrie Gress unveils those common patterns and offers a practical roadmap for reaching out to friends and family. You’ll learn the art of asking questions, when to speak and when to keep quiet, basic tools for talking to others about Jesus, how to answer questions about the faith, and more.

Conversion doesn’t happen overnight—sometimes all it takes is a little “nudge.”

By Matthew Kelly     Item # DC611192

Every single moment is a chance to turn it all around.

Are you happy? It may be the wrong question. Most of us think we are relatively happy, while at the same time knowing that we could be happier—maybe even a lot happier. Ordinary people and the finest philosophers have been exploring the question of happiness for thousands of years, and theories abound. But this is not a book of theory. Resisting Happiness is a deeply personal, disarmingly transparent look at why we sabotage our own happiness and what to do about it.

By Fr. Leo Massburg     Item # LH175559

Mother Teresa’s life sounds like a legend: the Albanian girl who entered an Irish order to go to India as a missionary and became an “Angel of the Poor” for countless people.

Fr. Leo Maasburg was there as her close companion for many years, traveling with her throughout the world and was witness to countless miracles and incredible little-known occurrences. In this personal portrait of the beloved nun, he presents amazing stories about her that most people have never heard, wonderful and delightful stories about miracles, small and great, that he was privileged to experience at Mother Teresa’s side.

They all tell of her limitless trust in God’s love, of the way the power of faith can move mountains, and of hope that can never die. These stories reveal a humorous, gifted, wise, and arresting woman who has a message of real hope for our time. It’s the life story of one of the most important women of the twentieth century as it has never been told before.

By Dr. Mark Miravalle     Item # LH759034

Most people believe that there’s something special about our “hearts.” Not just the physical organ, but something more. Most people understand that there’s something “inside us” that goes beyond the physical realm and into the spiritual. There’s something inside us that could be described as a “sacred place within,” or, more appropriately, a “sacred presence within.”

With this in mind, we are forced to ask, “Who or what is this sacred presence, and does it exist in everyone regardless of race, culture, or even religious beliefs?”

In Jesus in You: The Indwelling of the trinity in the Souls of the Just, Mark Miravalle takes on these and other pertinent questions about Christ living within us. He also puts forth the challenge to be honest and courageous enough to ask the life-changing question: “What’s inside of me?”

By Fr. Michael Gaitley     Item # LH305

By Dr. Tim Gray     Item # LH306

Since the fall of our first parents, humanity has been tempted to mistrust the love that God the Father has for us. Scripture scholar Dr. Tim Gray takes us on a journey that addresses the pervasive misconceptions that God is quick to anger, that the God of the Old and New Testaments are different, and that God doesn’t have a merciful heart for us. You will see that you can trust our heavenly Father, who is truly one with his Son.

By Dr. Mary Healy     Item # LH309

God’s design for life, love, relationships, and sex is written into our very bodies. With incredible clarity, Dr. Mary Healy explains how the Theology of the Body, Pope St. John Paul II’s deeply biblical understanding of Our Lord’s original plan for men and women, is astonishingly good news for a culture littered with broken marriages, immorality, heartache, and loneliness.

By: Msgr Paul Grogan     Item #LHCTS49

Most Christians want to live an active faith yet feel perplexed about how to do so. The seven interconnected ‘spiritual works of mercy’ come to our aid: counselling the doubtful; instructing the ignorant; admonishing sinners; comforting the afflicted; forgiving offences; bearing wrongs patiently; and praying for the living and the dead. Through such acts of mercy we can respond fully to God’s goodness towards us, involving conversion of our interior life: such acts are truly God’s acts of mercy; we, mere human agents for God to alleviate people’s unhappiness.

By Matthew Warner     Item #DC611547

Pope Francis says he wants “a mess.” Are you foolish enough to make one?

We Christians claim to have a great message for the world. But if it’s so great, why are more people leaving the Church than joining? The message clearly isn’t getting through. We must be doing something wrong.

Matthew Warner has spent the last twelve years passionately sharing the life-changing truths of the Christian faith with others. As a student of the Information Age, he is eager to use every means of communication at his disposal to help the Church share her message. In his attempts, he’s reached millions of people by developing faith-based websites, blogs, and email lists, and engaging a large audience through social media. And as the creator of his own innovative communication tool used by thousands of churches worldwide, he’s experienced the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to evangelization.

Along the way, he’s made a lot of mistakes trying to share the faith with others — but he’s also seen what works. That’s what this book is about.

Messy & Foolish presents a fresh vision for evangelization that will inspire you to quit the lesser pursuits of your life and accept nothing less than the joyful, adventure-filled, contagious life God intends you to live.

Pope Francis was right. It’s time to make a mess. It’s time to change the world. And we are just the fools to do it.

By Matthew Kelly     Item #DC509743

In this small volume, the celebrated author and speaker Matthew Kelly succinctly presents his reflections on one of life’s most important lessons.

Do you take the long view? Do you take the short view? Do you even know? Are you aware when you are taking the long view or the short view? How would your life be different if you became a student of the long view?

At a time when instant gratification no longer seems fast enough, The Long View invites us to step back from the endless hustle of our busy lives and question whether we are on the right path.

By Vinny Flynn     Item #LH479465

Vinny Flynn, author of the best-seller, 7 Secrets of the Eucharist (100,000 copies sold), presents a similar approach to the Sacrament of Confession in this new book that reveals 7 key “secrets” or hidden truths about the great spiritual beauty, power and depth of Confession.

The understanding that many Catholics have of the Sacrament of Confession is so limited and narrow in its focus that it keeps them from discovering the real beauty and value of this Sacrament… beauty and value that even a young child can understand if it’s presented properly.

For too many Catholics, Confession is just a means to an end: cleaning us up from sin so we can receive Communion. But, as Pope Francis tells us, Confession is much more than “going to the dry cleaner.” It’s “an encounter with Jesus, who waits for us as we are.”

In his years of speaking all over North America, Flynn saw that many Catholics have this limited appreciation of Confession, and the urgent need for clear teaching about this great Sacrament. If you have not yet experienced Confession as a wonderful, personal encounter with Christ; if you do not yet look forward to going to Confession with the same eagerness and expectation with which you receive Holy Communion, this book is for you. It will be a whole new way of going to Confession, inviting you to begin an exciting personal journey to healing and holiness. It may change your life.
