| Audiobook ''In Father Michael McGivney (1852-1890), born and raised in a Connecticut factory town, the modern era's ideal of the priesthood hit its zenith. The son of Irish immigrants, he was a man to whom "family values" represented more than mere rhetoric. And he left a legacy of hope still celebrated around the world. 'Father McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus, an organization that has helped to save countless families from the indignity of destitution, which has today an international membership of 1.7 million men. ' In an incredible work of academic research, Douglas Brinkley and Julie M. Fenster re-create the life of Father McGivney, a fiercely dynamic yet tenderhearted man. Though he was only thirty-eight when he died, Father McGivney has never been forgotten. He remains a true "people's priest," a genuinely holy man"and perhaps the most beloved parish priest in U.S. history. Moving and inspirational, Parish Priest chronicles the process of canonization that may well make Father McGivney the first American-born parish priest to be declared a saint. Illustrated |

| All eight volumes of Newman's famous sermons are brought together in this new edition that is beautifully printed and bound on Bible paper with a flexible leatherette cover and red ribbon. Newman's sermons are as powerful, fresh and challenging today as when he first gave them. The topics that Newman covers are ones central to Christianity and salvation. Newman once again demonstrates his profound understanding of human psychology, and the temptations and trials we encounter as Christians in the world. This deluxe edition is a magnificent work of timeless inspiration and illumination for every generation of Christian readers. 191 sermons in total. "These sermons are given here, for the first time in a single volume, as the most lasting expression of Newman's own gradual discovery of all the fullness of the appeal and the challenge addressed to all men by Catholic truth and Catholic life, inseparable as they are within genuine Christianity. There, above all, he himself will be found, with his intellectual power, his poetical vision, as well as his moral and spiritual integrity. Nothing can constitute for us, still today, and maybe today more than ever, such a powerful introduction to what Christianity may give to and expect from our surrender to its call in the midst of a world no longer pretending to be Christian." - Fr. Louis Bouyer, C.O. |

| "John, I believe God has called me--a layrnan--to disciple, encourage, and pray for pastors. And the reason I came here today is so that I could pray for you."With those words, respected leader, speaker, and author John Maxwell saw his agenda replaced by God's agenda. The stranger who felt God's calling to pray for this pastor fulfilled a need in Maxwell that he didn't even know he had--and fourteen years later, the results are evident at the 3,500 member Skyline Wesleyan Church in San Diego, California.Partners in Prayer, the first book in the John Maxwell Church Resources series, shows church leaders and lay people how to unleash the potential of prayer on behalf of themselves, one another, and the church. If your church--or private devotional life--is starving in the area of prayer and you want to tap into the power and protection prayer provides, Maxwell gives practical insight into--the fundamentals of prayer--improving personal prayer life--praying for others, including church leaders--building a prayer partners ministry in the local church--encouraging prayer revival nationwide* * * Are you missing out on God's gift and blessing of prayer? Is there someone you know who would benefit from your committed prayers on their behalf. Despite God's promise of the power of prayer to change our world, many of us never experience it. John Maxwell shows you how to strengthen your prayer life and reap the benefits awaiting those who become Partners in Prayer. |

| A book designed to help you teach the key themes of Philippians. The church at Philippi, in ancient Macedonia, is one of the model churches of the New Testament. Paul wrote of them in 2 Corinthians 8 that 'in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part.' So we might say of the church in Philippi that it is a gem of a church. A showcase church. Paul, for one, is full of thanks for them. If this were a report at a shareholders meeting we might be asking ourselves whether the Chairman really has got this right? Is something being hidden? It seems too good to be true! If this were an athlete we might be asking ourselves whether there has been some performance enhancing substance in the diet! And if this were an end of term report we might be asking ourselves if the teacher had got the right child! But there's no doubting that Paul has the right church. This is Philippi. Perched on the edge of Southern Greece, the first city to hear the Christian message in mainland Europe. Paul is writing to all the Christians there and he is joyfully and confidently grateful for every single one of them. I would like to suggest, then, that these studies in this letter to the Philippians will be wonderfully refreshing for any church and any individual Christian to engage in. The instruction we are going to receive is almost entirely positive. Therefore we will be able to hold this letter up as a plumb line against our own church and our own personal discipleship as we ask ourselves: do we match up? |
