Gift Of Repentance
$11.95
Repentance is a gift-because coming to the realization of ourselves as sinners opens our hearts to the gospel. And while consciousness of our sins is uncomfortable, it is also a cause for hope. In those feelings of guilt, says popular Scripture commentator Kevin Perrotta, God is calling us to return to him. The first three sessions of this Bible study are designed to spur readers to reflect on their own experience of recognizing their sins and taking action against them. The second three sessions focus on Jesus, who calls us to grow in love beyond anything that is easy or comfortable for us-and enables us to do it by nourishing us with himself.

Journey Of Faith For Children Enlightenment
$4.99Add to cartJourney of Faith for Children introduces children to the Catholic faith in a way that’s easy for them to understand, using an engaging pastoral approach. Based on the ever-popular and long-running adult Christian initiation program from Liguori Publications, Journey of Faith for Children addresses relevant life issues, faith topics, and questions in a catechetical approach to RCIA.
Journey of Faith for Children, Enlightenment guides children through a period of self-reflection and preparation for the sacraments. Children learn about God’s mercy and forgiveness, through an introduction to the scrutinies, and be encouraged to participate in the Lenten practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Children will also participate in a group Lenten retreat, an opportunity for them to spend some quiet time with themselves and God before becoming fully initiated into the Church.
Children learn at their own pace. They learn by asking questions and by doing. That’s why we’ve combined the lessons with a variety of engaging activities to appeal to a variety of learners in a way that’s flexible enough for you to modify to your unique needs. Each lesson also includes a colorful animated drawing and ongoing story that captures children’s attention and enables them to see their own faith journey mirrored in the adventures of Mrs. Evans’s fictional RCIA class.
The comprehensive Leader Guide gives you everything you need to walk into your RCIA class and start leading-whether you’re a veteran RCIA instructor or a first-time volunteer. Additional discussion points prepare you for their responses and keep the conversation going. The contemporary wraparound design enables you to see what the children see so you can spend more time teaching and growing in faith alongside your group.

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.
