Consoling The Heart Of Jesus
Ideal for study groups, adoration chapels, and anyone looking to rejuvenate their spiritual batteries. In the end, only one thing matters: To become a saint. After all, if we don’t reach heaven, everything else is irrelevant, isn’t it? If you’re serious about becoming holy (“saint” comes from the Latin word for “holy”), a powerful way to do this is through a 30-day Ignatian retreat. Now Br. Michael Gaitley gives beginners and those more advanced the ability to make an Ignatian retreat in our own homes in a way that is accessible, relevant and, doable! Always fresh and intriguing, he also incorporates the wisdom of such saints as Therese of Lisieux, Faustina Kowalska, and Louis de Montfort. From Fr. Mitch Pacwa, SJ, to Faith & Family magazine, everyone has been effusive in their praise of this incredible work.

Problem Of Pain
Read moreFor centuries Christians have been tormented by one question above all — If God is good and all-powerful, why does he allow his creatures to suffer pain? C. S. Lewis sets out to disentangle this knotty issue but wisely adds that in the end no intellectual solution can dispense with the necessity for patience and courage.

Return Of The Prodigal Son
Read moreA chance encounter with a reproduction of Rembrandt’s The Return of the Prodigal Son catapulted Henri Nouwen on a long spiritual adventure. Here he shares the deeply personal and resonant meditation that led him to discover the place within where God has chosen to dwell.
In seizing the inspiration that came to him through Rembrandt’s depiction of the powerful Gospel story, Henri Nouwen probes the several movements of the parable: the younger son’s return, the father’s restoration of sonship, the elder son’s vengefulness, and the father’s compassion. In his reflection on Rembrandt in light of his own life journey, the author evokes a powerful drama of the parable in a rich, capativating way that is sure to reverberate in the hearts of readers. The themes of homecoming, affirmation, and reconciliation will be newly discovered by all who have known loneliness, dejection, jealousy, or anger. The challenge to love as the father and be loved as the son will be seen as the ultimate revelation of the parable known to Christians throughout time, and here represented with a vigor and power fresh for our times.
For all who ask, “Where has my struggle led me?” or for those “on the road” who have had the courage to embark on the journey but seek the illumination of a known way and safe passage, this work will inspire and guide each time it is read.
