Gods Superheroes Amazing Catholic Men Volume 2
Did you know that God has superheroes of his own? They started as ordinary people of different ages, from all different countries and different races, from rich and poor and all walks of life. Then they heard God’s call, accepted their missions, and were changed forever!
God’s Superheroes: Amazing Catholic Men, Vol. II highlights another thirty-eight amazing Catholic men, including Saint Damien de Veuster, Saint Francis de Sales, Hugh O’Flaherty, Saint Jean de Brebeuf, Saint Jose Sanchez del Rio, Saint Juan Diego, Saint Philip Neri, Blessed Solanus Casey, and a trio of heroic chaplains: Servant of God Emil Kapaun, Venerable Joseph Lafleur, and Servant of God Vincent Capodanno.
The men in this book were brave and bold in their Catholic Faith. Some of them even had what could be called “superpowers.” God gave them special abilities that helped them bring people closer to him, such as healing, bilocation, reading hearts and minds, and knowing future events. Whether dealing with their own weaknesses or facing persecution, torture, and even death, they held onto their faith and never wavered in their mission.
God’s superheroes are still champions for good today. They want you to continue their work of helping those in need, fighting evil and injustice, and making Jesus known and loved. They want to help you find the mission that God has for you.
Learn about holy women in this book’s companion — God’s Superheroes: Amazing Catholic Women, Vol. II.

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.

Mothers Lovers Priests Prophets And Kings
Read moreMothers, Lovers, Priests, Prophets, and King provides a doorway to enter into the world of the Old Testament for both the casual and the more experienced reader. The newcomer to scripture will find an easily accessible group of stories about people who look and act just like the characters we know today and whose encounters with God leave us wondering what God has in store for us. The more experienced reader will come to know the God of the Old Testament more closely and see there the One who came to dwell with us as Jesus Christ. Both readers will take away from the book a deeper appreciation of the nature of scripture as a Living Word, a greater understanding of the connection between God in the Old Testament and God in the New, and a better awareness of the multifaceted nature of God’s interaction with us. This book helps readers begin to answer the questions: Who is the God we meet in scripture? Who is God for me now? How is God revealed in the patterns and experiences of my life?
Individuals and groups will find this book helpful in bible studies, small church groups, and as a way of sparking conversation about our images of God and what our relationship with God looks like. Readers will be able to place themselves in these stories and discover what God has to say to them. Those using the book for individual reading will be able to move from the scripture to the meditation to guiding questions and prayer designed to enhance their experience.

Perseverance In Trials
Read moreChristian life, like life generally, is marked by trials. For this reason, the author has chosen the Book of Job as a primary text for reflection, although other passages of the Old and New Testaments are also offered for meditation.
The story of Job spoke to the Jewish people exiled in Babylonia, even as it speaks to us today. It inspires questions such as, Does suffering have meaning? Can human beings ask God to account for that suffering? It counters those questions by asking for belief in God’s ultimate justice and (humanly) incomprehensible wisdom.
In comments marked by spiritual and pastoral depth, Cardinal Martini, Archbishop of Milan, dwells on certain passages of Job that help shed light on the meaning of the mystery of the human person and the mystery of God. The reflections are gathered from retreat lectures given by the cardinal. When read in an atmosphere of prayer, these pages become a source of light, nourishment, strength, incentive, and consolation.
