| Making the case for the Christian faith"apologetics"has always been part of the Church's mission. Yet Christians sometimes have had different approaches to defending the faith, responding to the needs of their respective times and framing their arguments to address the particular issues of their day. ' 'Cardinal Avery Dulles's A History of Apologetics provides a masterful overview of Christian apologetics, from its beginning in the New Testament through the Middle Ages and on to the present resurgence of apologetics among Catholics and Protestants. Dulles shows how Christian apologists have at times both criticized and drawn from their intellectual surroundings to present the reasonableness of Christian belief. ' 'Written by one of Catholicism's leading American theologians, A History of Apologetics also examines apologetics in the 20th and early 21st centuries including its decline among Catholics following Vatican II and its recent revival, as well as the contributions of contemporary Evangelical Protestant apologists. Dulles also considers the growing Catholic-Protestant convergence in apologetics. No student of apologetics and contemporary theology should be without this superb and masterful work. '' "The historical information that Cardinal Dulles gathers and the analysis that he gives of the history of the apologetical method will be invaluable to today's apologists." '' "Karl Keating, Author, Catholicism and Fundamentalism' ' '"This learned book is an insightful guide through two thousand years of Christians reflecting on the beauty of their faith in Jesus Christ illuminating rather than darkening reason. Cardinal Dulles presents apologetics as a much needed antidote to narrow minded oppositions between faith and reason." ' ' Rev. Matthew L. Lamb, Ave Maria University '''' Cardinal Avery Dulles, S.J., is the author of over 700 articles and 22 books. He has served on the International Theological Commission and as a member of the United States Lutheran/Roman Catholic Coordinating Committee. He is presently an advisor to the Committee on Doctrine of the NCCB, and is the Laurence J. McGinley Professor of Religion and Society at Fordham University.' |

| While the story of the apparitions of Our Lady to Bernadette Soubirous at Lourdes in 1858 are well known, relatively few people are familiar with the saint's own spiritual insights and profound holiness. For the first time in English, this book presents a wide selection of St. Bernadette's thoughts, advice, sayings, and prayers through the touching words of her spiritual diary, notes, and letters to friends and family. ' After receiving the visions of Our Lady at the grotto in Lourdes, Bernadette eventually became a religious sister as a member of the Sisters of Charity. She lived a life of simplicity, charity, suffering and deep holiness, dying at the age of 35. When she was canonized a saint, her body was found to be incorrupt. ' In these beautiful writings of St. Bernadette, we learn the secrets of her holiness and happiness. Though she suffered greatly throughout her life, the heroic response of this humble, self-effacing nun transformed excruciating suffering into spiritual fruitfulness. Her letters and writings serve as a model for others passing through their own trials. Her writings reveal and intimate and profound love for God and neighbor. Anyone pursuing a deeper spiritual life will appreciate knowing Bernadette as she truly was, and the inspiring spiritual works of wisdom she offers to us all. |

| Written to give lay Catholics a better understanding of the Eucharist, this book is recognized as a modern spiritual classic. In remarkably clear and straightforward language, it takes the reader step-by-step into the deepest mysteries of the Eucharist"a religiously exhilarating journey into the heart of the Christian faith. ''"Profound insights- I recommend this excellent book to all Catholics who desire a better understanding of the Mass." "Father Kenneth Baker, S.J., 'Editor, Homiletic & Pastoral Review '"This is a beautiful book-one of the great treasures of the Catholic renewal'of the last century." '- Christoph Cardinal Schnborn ' '"'One could wish most earnestly that every Catholic-and every Protestant for that'matter-would read Abbot Vonier's book. Both the mystery and the richness of the'Eucharist are here: but the book is splendidly readable-no small achievement." '- Thomas Howard ' "Stephen Langton, the 13th-century Archbishop of Canterbury, famously' said, 'If you wish to learn, five things are necessary: purity of life, simplicity' of heart, an attentive mind, a humble disposition, and a gentle spirit.' Abbot' Vonier's book on the Eucharist exemplifies the beauty and radiance of all five' of these virtues. Not since St. Thomas Aquinas's treatment of this sacrament' in the Tertia Pars of his Summa Theologiae has there been a more lucid and' serene presentation of the Catholic understanding of the Eucharist than this' book. It should be required reading in every course in sacramental theology' in every Catholic seminary and college in the nation." ' - Edward T. Oakes, S.J . ' " A Key to the Doctrine of the Eucharist is one of the few classics in' Catholic theology composed in English... This book, remarkable for its balance,' depth, and accessibility, should never be out of print." ' - Avery Cardinal Dulles ' |

| Born in Columbia, South Carolina, Dijon typifies the saying "Wise beyond their years." At the age of 8, Dijon took the stage at church and belted out a stirring rendition of "His Eye Is On The Sparrow," complete with runs usually heard from seasoned vocalists. Now, at age 14, Dijon is still ahead of the curve. Dijon's debut album A Kid's Point Of View is best described as his take on his own life. Songs such as Pressures, I Wanna Be More Like Him and My Potential highlight the typical life of a teenager trying to deal with various insecurities; but one who is secure enough in his faith to praise God in his music. The lead single, A Kid's Point Of View, is a semi-autobiographical story about Dijon's perspective on things during his parents' breakup. The poignant video to this single shows Dijon narrating what a kid sees and hears while their parents take the difficult steps towards ending their marriage. A Kid's Point Of View is an album for all generations. The catchy beats are sure to attract young fans, while parents will welcome the positive messages, Gospel classics and refreshing outlook. |
