FORGIVENESS MAKES YOU FREE: A DRAMATIC STORY OF HEALING FROM THE HEART OF FWANDA

FORGIVENESS MAKES YOU FREE: A DRAMATIC STORY OF HEALING FROM THE HEART OF FWANDA
$16.95

"'Jesus, where are you?' I prayed every night as I wept . . . I felt I had failed as a priest, for I had preached love and the people made genocide. . . .Then I heard God speak to me. Jesus wanted me to use these experiences to evangelize later. It was then that I knew my life would be spared. God would make a way."

During the 25th anniversary of the Rwandan genocide, Fr. Ubald Rugirangoga tells the dramatic story of how he survived while losing more than eighty of his family members and 45,000 of his parishioners in the killings. In the aftermath, Fr. Ubald experienced a renewed sense of purpose as a minister of reconciliation and a healing evangelist in his homeland and around the world. In Forgiveness Makes You Free, he offers five spiritual principles that can help those traumatized by the past to experience healing and peace in Christ.

In 1994 the world looked on in disbelief and horror as Rwanda erupted in violent bloodshed. All across the landlocked African country, militant Hutus rose up to exterminate the Tutsi population, including women and young children. One hundred days later, a million bodies littered fields, streets, and even churches. Now, on the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Rwandan genocide, a powerful testimony emerges of the power of God to bring peace and reconciliation into hearts full of fear and hate.

In Forgiveness Makes You Free, Fr. Ubald Rugirangoga shares his own dramatic story of how he survived the genocide and its traumatic aftermath. He testifies about how God spared his life so that he might help others with deep physical, emotional, and spiritual wounds to experience peace and healing. In retelling the story of how he forgave the man who killed his family and cared for the man's children while he was in prison, Fr. Ubald demonstrates how showing mercy can facilitate true forgiveness even in the most painful circumstances of our lives.

Throughout the book, Fr. Ubald teaches about five spiritual keys that draw us to Christ, the only source of lasting peace:

  • be thankful and have faith
  • choose to forgive
  • denounce evil
  • decide to live for Jesus
  • claim the blessing
  • Each chapter combines Fr. Ubald's story with reflection questions that guide readers along their own path of healing: from fear to faith, from shame to freedom, from isolation to reconciliation, from resentment to mercy, and from conflict to peace.

    The final chapter offers a guided meditation to help those who need to experience the power of God to release those held in bondage by fear and hate and to find the secret of peace. An appendix contains information about "The Mushaka Reconciliation Project," a catechetical tool that has been used successfully by parishes in Rwanda, and could easily be adapted by parishes in the United States, to mediate reconciliation between individuals and groups who have become estranged by violence, trauma, and ethnic or cultural divisions.

    FRANCIS: POPE OF A NEW WORLD

    FRANCIS: POPE OF A NEW WORLD
    $19.95
    "Francis, rebuild my Church!" That is how St. Francis of Assisi heard the call of Christ. It is also how Jorge Mario Bergoglio, at the age of 76, and a Jesuit, seems to have accepted his election to the papacy with the choice of a name that no other pope has ever chosen.

    Who is Pope Francis, elected in one of the shortest conclaves in history? Who is the man chosen to be the first pope from the Americas and the first Jesuit pope?

    How does he see the world and his ministry? How does he understand his call to serve Christ, his Church, and the world? In short, what is the mind and heart of this new pope of a new world--of the Americas and the rest of the world of the 21st Century?

    In the words, the ideas, and the personal recollections of Pope Francis--including material up to the final hours before his election--the most highly regarded Vatican observer on the international scene reveals the personality of this man of God, gentle and humble. The son of Italian immigrants to Argentina, he made radically following Christ and the way of non-violence the pillars of his pastoral ministry in a country, continually tormented by social and economic inequities.
    This complete biography offers the keys to understanding the man who was a surprise choice, even a kind of revolutionary choice, for pope. It is the story of the humble pastor of one of the world's largest archdioceses; a cardinal who takes the bus, talks with common folk, and lives simply. It is the story of why the cardinal electors of the Catholic Church set aside political and diplomatic calculations to elect a pope to lead the renewal and purification of the worldwide Church of our time.

    "Brothers and Sisters, before the bishop blesses the people, I ask you to pray to God that he will bless your bishop."
    - Pope Francis
    "Catholics and others eager to know all they can about Pope Francis will learn a great deal from Andrea Tornielli's first-person account."

    -James Hitchcock, Professor of History, St. Louis University, author of History of The Catholic Church

    FREEDOM & FORGIVENESS

    FREEDOM & FORGIVENESS
    $8.99
    In "Freedom & Forgiveness: A Fresh Look at the Sacrament of Reconciliation", Father Farren examines the history of the Sacrament of Reconciliation and the ways it brings us into a deeper experience of God. Totaling just 85 pages, this little book is simple, easy to read, and deeply prayerful. Father Paul's Irish storytelling background comes to the forefront as he articulates simply but effectively the history of confession with a fresh look to the sacraments which profoundly centers a tone of New Evangelization.

    Confession is somewhat daunting for many of us; yet Farren argues, "Our understanding of the sacrament reveals our image of God. If our image of God is one of an uncompromising judge, then the sacrament can fill us with dread." Instead of coming to confession to avoid judgment and hellfire, Father Farren paints a picture of the Sacrament of Reconciliation which presents a loving God who longs for a restored relationship with His children. It is an inspirational picture and one that is presented compellingly.

    GIFTS FROM FRIENDS WE NEVER WANTED: BIBLICAL JOURNEYS OF GRACE

    GIFTS FROM FRIENDS WE NEVER WANTED: BIBLICAL JOURNEYS OF GRACE
    $19.95

    Discover how unlikely friends can provide us with gifts beyond measure. Unwelcome guests are not generally greeted with gratitude but occasionally they become unexpected friends bearing gifts we never would have asked for. In Gifts from Friends We Never Wanted, Virginia Herbers introduces a sampling of these types of surprising guests in our lives--failure, disappointment, worry--and the gifts they offer us when they come visiting.

    Following the same pattern as her first book, Gifts from Friends We've Yet to Meet, Herbers chooses a gospel character to accompany us as we engage these uninvited "friends." Weaving together the stories of Jesus's contemporaries, his response to their foibles, and stories from her own experiences, Herbers invites us to join her on a journey of discovery, vulnerability, honesty--and hospitality. She asks if we dare to befriend the least appealing truths of ourselves to surrender them to a God who can enlighten even the greatest darkness? If we dare, then we will have truly understood the value of these gifts from friends we never wanted.

    GIFTS FROM FRIENDS WE'VE YET TO MEET: A MEMOIR OF BIBLICAL ENCOUNTERS

    GIFTS FROM FRIENDS WE'VE YET TO MEET: A MEMOIR OF BIBLICAL ENCOUNTERS
    $15.95

    What does it mean to be anonymous in the gospels? Isn't God the one who calls us by name and knows us even before we are born? In Gifts from Friends We've Yet to Meet, Virginia Herbers introduces readers to nameless gospel characters, each of whom provides us with a story, a journey, and a gift.

    Reflecting on experiences in her own life, Herbers journeys through these gospel stories, inviting us to reflect on seemingly insignificant encounters in our own lives. Who are the "anonymous figures" who have played a critical role for each of us? How do the experiences of the nameless gospel characters continue to reach and teach us today? Can it be that their anonymity allows their experience to be both individual and universal?

    In each of these anonymous characters, Herbers introduces us to dear friends we just haven't met yet. And each of their ages-old encounters with Jesus contains a gift for all of us today.

    GOD FOR US - READER'S EDITION: REDISCOVERING THE MEANING OF LENT
    $18.99

    Examine the meaning of Lent and its significance in spiritual formation and the preparation for Easter, and walk through the holy season of Easter. Leading North American spiritual writers reflect on what one theologian has called the "bright sadness" of Lent: that it is not about feeling of broken and lost, but about cleansing the palate so we can taste life to a greater extent. In the Lent and Easter seasons, we encounter the God who, in all of life, is for us--for our liberation, for our healing, for our wholeness. Even in death we can find resurrection.

    GOD SHED HIS GRACE ON THEE: MOVING REMEMBERANCES OF 50 AMERICAN CATHOLICS
    $19.95
    From sea to shining sea, Catholics have been an important part of the fabric of American life. Some of them were famous, some toiled in obscurity. They included musicians, military leaders, writers, elected officials, visual artists, poets, athletes, reporters, movie stars, and people who worked a lifetime for justice. A few were saints or heroes, most were ordinary people who lived extraordinary lives. Some worked directly for the church, most did not. This award-winning collection of fifty tributes forms a patchwork quilt of exceptional insight, historical context, and inspiring example.

    GOD'S GRACE FOR GRADUATES
    $9.95
    If God's grace could talk . . .

    Actually, it already has. And is. And does.
    And here's what it sounds like.
    It sounds like hope for days when life feels absolutely overwhelming. It sounds like promise that speaks into every relationship, no matter how desperately in need or how dear to your heart. It sounds like sufficiency in all those places where none of us is ever good enough. It sounds like confidence that would make no sense at all except the full weight of God is steadfastly behind it.
    If God's grace could talk, it would sound exactly like what this book says in every Scripture on every page. And it wouldn't sound nearly as old as it actually is, because it's new every morning and within instant reach at every moment.
    It would sound like God, talking directly to you. Because He is. And does.
    And always does it with grace.

    GOD'S KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORLD

    GOD'S KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORLD
    $75.00

    "God's Knowledge of the World examines theories of divine ideas from approximately 1250-1325 AD (St. Bonaventure through Ockham). It is the only work dedicated to categorizing and comparing the major theories of divine ideas in the Scholastic period. A theory of divine ideas was the standard Scholastic response to the question how does God know and produce the world? A theory was deemed to be successful only if it simultaneously upheld that God has perfect knowledge and that he is supremely simple and one. These questions cause the Scholastic authors to articulate clearly, among other things, their positions on the nature of knowledge, relation, exemplar causality, participation, infinity, and possibility. An author's theory of divine ideas, then, is the locus for him to test the coherence of his metaphysical, epistemological, and logical principles"--

    GOD'S PRESENCE IN THE EUCHARIST & IN THE WORLD: MEDITATIONS FOR UNION WITH GOD

    GOD'S PRESENCE IN THE EUCHARIST & IN THE WORLD: MEDITATIONS FOR UNION WITH GOD
    $18.95

    Former prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith Cardinal Gerhard Müller guides you on a powerful personal retreat based on one that he has given to hundreds of priests and consecrated religious across the globe. In these life-changing pages, His Eminence will help you grow in union with God personally and find comfort in His love as you learn to discern and place your hope in the Holy Trinity.

    Cardinal Müller deftly breaks open Sacred Scripture and the writings of theologians and philosophers in addressing misconceptions about the nature of God and divine revelation. Through his penetrating insights and counsel, you will find the enlightening horizon through which natural reason operates. As you begin to perceive and soak up God's incarnate love and desire for intimacy with you, you will discover:

  • How spiritual exercises are a remedy against feeling lost in a boundless universe
  • The difference between authentic mysticism and an ego trip, and what true faith involves
  • How to overcome low self-esteem and hopelessness and realize you are chosen by God
  • What your response should be to God's divine touch and His loving care for you
  • Why belief in the Real Presence of Christ in the Holy Eucharist is central to our Faith
  • The many ways in which God speaks to us in our language and how we should respond
  • In addition, you will learn the biblical basis for why sacramental grace is offered in person and for the teaching of the Real Presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament. You will also see the ways in which the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass connects to the sacrifice of Christ on the Cross, and why it is the most efficacious act we can perform on earth.

    His Eminence also discourses on the role of grace and modern-day concerns, such as human dignity; freedom; the roles of bishops, priests, and laity; and how to approach ecumenical efforts. In all, he guides you in how to run the race, fight in the spiritual battle, and, ultimately, relish in your true identity as a child of God.

    GOD, WHERE ARE YOU

    GOD, WHERE ARE YOU
    $16.99
    Discussion around the bestseller The Benedict Option by Rod Dreher has led many people to want to know more about monastic principles. This book by the modern monastic prior Enzo Bianchi (of the Bose Community in Switzerland) focuses on the human cry, "God, where are you?"

    This has been the cry of humankind since time began, and Enzo Bianchi finds God's traces in the searching of significant figures from the Old Testament. We are challenged to question our own certainties like Abraham, suffer torment like Jacob, or falter and become discouraged in the face of a daunting task like Moses. The search for God involves exploring what is profoundly human, and ultimately the greatest manifestation of humanity is to be found in the figure of Christ. That is why we cannot think of God today without turning our minds to Jesus. It is the divine within us who really poses the question, "God, where are you?", so, when we truly begin to search for an answer, we discover that God is already looking for us!

    GOOD PARENTS TOUGH TIMES

    GOOD PARENTS TOUGH TIMES
    $8.97
    Timely Guidance and Inspiration for Parents of Children in Crisis
     
    The bestselling authors of The Roller-Coaster Years, Parenting 911, and Cliques draw deeply on their faith and the rich Catholic spiritual tradition in this guide for parents of children in crisis.

    In Good Parents, Tough Times, authors Charlene C. Giannetti and Margaret Sagarese focus on the spiritual well-being of the parent as much as the behavior of the child. The authors draw parallels between the real-life struggles parents face today and those endured by the saints. They believe that the qualities that enabled the saints to face great troubles—charity, knowledge, faith, hope, patience, serenity, truth, and humility—can help parents cope with a troubled child.

    “This book provides what every parent needs: a chance to learn from the saints and to look to them for encouragement and practical advice.”
    —Scott Hahn, author of The Lamb’s Supper
    “Deep, yet simple and practical, this book will help parents and all who have teens in their lives to know better how to listen, pray, and help.”
    —Fr. Paul Keenan, author of Heartstorming
    “[Good Parents, Tough Times] not only offers parents the saints’ very practical advice about raising teens with faith, hope, and love, but also helps parents receive the grace of the saints’ powerful intercession.”
