Finding Peace In The Storm
$17.95
Sometimes discernment seems complicated, and we struggle to “be still” to listen to God’s voice. Following the death of his spiritual director, St. Alphonsus Liguori penned timeless advice in a letter to one of his spiritual daughters, and it became the famous work titled Uniformity with God’s Will. Now Dan Burke breaks open St. Alphonsus’s eighteenth-century classic for you. He intersperses relevant explanations and insights within the text of this great saint and includes reflection questions for each chapter.
St. Alphonsus explains, “We should most confidently abandon ourselves to all the dispositions of divine providence, since they are for our own good.” In page after page, Burke shows you how the “wind and waves” can help you ascend to union with God. You will discover:
*The “paralyzing cocktail” we drink when we reject God’s will
*When good works are displeasing to God (Can you guess?)
*Three prayers that will assist you in directing all things to God’s will
*Two ways we can know God’s love and hear His voice
*Two life-altering spiritual disciplines according to St. Teresa of Avila
*How humiliation, adversity, and trials can bring freedom, healing, and salvation (You will be shocked!)
Liguori intersperses fascinating real-life examples from the saints to assist you in remaining steadfast amid afflictions. He explains three temptations that confront us and how to resist them, along with four practices of uniformity to God’s will and a surefire way to unite your sufferings to Christ’s sufferings.
You will acquire tips on what to do during periods of aridity or desolation. Above all, you will discover how to enjoy peace of heart in all circumstances and foster loving conversation with God. By learning how to entrust yourself fully to God’s holy will, you will experience His divine embrace and the fulfillment of your deepest desires.
A “What Next?” section helps you take practical steps in doing God’s will. Burke also provides a summary of the Paradigm of Ascent, which provides often hidden but foundational insights and practices necessary to live out Liguori’s wisdom and to know the peace promised by God. In addition, he provides a simple action plan to implement these fruitful practices in your life.

For Real : Christs Presence In The Eucharist

A cradle Catholic and former skeptic himself, Deacon Dennis Lambert presents evidence to radically change, affirm, or deepen your belief in the real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. The book also provides a thought-provoking way to share the truth with others.

Jesus And The Jewish Roots Of The Virgin Mary
$24.95Add to cartThe bestselling author of Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist casts new light on the Virgin Mary showing that she is an icon for women and men to emulate in contemporary society.
Are Catholic teachings on Mary really biblical? Or are they just traditions made up by old white men? Is she truly the “Mother of God” or just the mother of Jesus? Did she actually remain a virgin her whole life or do the “brothers of Jesus” refer to her other children? By praying to Mary, are Catholics “worshiping” her? And why are these points of doctrine relevant to securing a proper understanding of Jesus Christ?
Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Virgin Mary, Dr. Pitre will take readers step by step through Sacred Scripture from the Garden of Eden to the Book of Revelation and show just how amazingly Biblical the Catholic Church’s teaching on Mary really is. Dr. Pitre will use the Old Testament and Ancient Judaism to unlock how the Bible itself teaches that Mary is nothing less than the Mother of God, the Queen of Heaven and Earth, the New Eve, and the New Ark of the Covenant.
