Broken And Blessed
$14.99Add to cartOnly 2 in 10 Americans under 30 believe attending a church is important or worthwhile. Well over half of young adults raised in the Church have dropped out with many having a strong anti-Church stance, many even believing the Church does more harm than good.Fr. Josh Johnson was one of these people. In Broken and Blessed he tackles the harsh realities facing the Church in the 21st century.
With charity and courage he speaks to his own generation of Catholic Millennials, who often feel their needs and concerns are not being addressed by the Church, or who simply do not believe the Catholic Faith has any relevance to their lives. Using his own experiences, both as a former struggling young Catholic and as a priest, Fr. Josh offers an inspiring witness of how he came to know God, rather than just knowing about him and presents practical ways for us to truly know God as well.

*Presents powerful and inspiring stories from Fr. Josh s own faith journey
*Shows how one can truly encounter Jesus in a personal way Offers practical insights on how to overcome habitual sins

Reclaiming Vatican 2
$17.95Add to cartDuring the past five decades, the Second Vatican Council has been alternately celebrated or maligned for its supposed break with tradition and embrace of the modern world. But what if we’ve gotten it all wrong? Have Catholics–both those who embrace the spirit of Vatican II and those who regard it with suspicion–misunderstood what the council was really about?
Fr. Blake Britton discovered the truth and beauty of the council while he was in seminary and he has witnessed firsthand the power of its teachings in the life of his own parish. In Reclaiming Vatican II, Britton presses beyond the political narrative foisted upon the post-conciliar Church and contends that Vatican II was neither conservative nor liberal, but something much more beautiful and challenging.
Britton clears up misconceptions about the council and reveals how–when properly understood and applied–it fosters a richer experience of being the Church.

Revelations Of Divine Love
$16.99Add to cartJulian of Norwich, the famous fourteenth-century anchoress, was seriously ill and preparing for death when she received a series of 16 visions of the passion of Christ.

The first vision includes her famous meditation on the hazelnut, which for her becomes an image of God’s love because God made it, loves it and keeps it.”The most original and revolutionary reading of Christ’s gospel since that of St Paul.’ (A. N. Wilson, from the Introduction)

Revitalizing Catholicism In America
$17.95Add to cartThe Catholic Church in the United States has reached a tipping point. The crisis is painfully visible in the sharp declines that have already taken place in many essential areas of Church life, from Catholic marriages and infant baptisms to Sunday Mass attendance and the number of priests. Meanwhile, the number of semi-active and inactive Catholics is rising, and the number of ex-Catholic “nones” is skyrocketing.
What happens in the immediate future will determine how the Church in America will emerge from this crisis: a smaller but more committed body of faithful Christians or a stagnant, inward-looking remnant. The American Catholic laity must decide whether they will be passive onlookers or will choose to act.
Revitalizing Catholicism in America provides nine practical action items every faithful Catholic can undertake – nine steps which, all together, will form the building blocks of a renewed Catholic subculture.
No matter what your specific gift or walk of life, you have a role to play in revitalizing Catholicism in America. This book will show you how.
