| The Wonder Worker Edited by Brother Francis Mary, F.F.I. The many gifts Padre Pio had such as the stigmata, bilocation, miraculous scents, prophecy, reading hearts, healing, interpreting languages and many other charisms, rank him among the most extraordinary Saints in the two-thousand year history of the Church. Padre Pio"The Wonder Worker not only examines these gifts close up and from different perspectives, but is capable of challenging the faithless, of exciting interest among the wavering and of inspiring the faithful to strive for holiness. Though the book records many authenticated wonders, the book's main virtue consists in recounting the life and heroic virtues of this modern day Saint who shows that the way to personal holiness is very much with us in our day. The first seven chapters are a biographical sketch, followed by over thirty chapters dealing with the many inspiring facts pertaining to his life and charisms. Also included are chapters on the Beatification ceremony in Rome and the Pope's homilies. These short interesting chapters are written by a host of writers and devotees of the Padre such as Fr. John Schug, OFM Cap, Fr. Stefano Manelli, F.I., Mary Ann Budnik, Padre Alberto, Cardinal Ursi, Fr. Bernardino of Siena, Fr. Andre Apostoli and many others. Illustrated with dozens of photos. "Totally absorbed in God, always bearing the marks of Jesus' Passion in his body, Padre Pio was bread broken for men starving for God's mercy and forgiveness." "Pope John Paul II Read by Francis Kelly 'To hear a sample, click here |

| Beatified on May 22, 1999, Padre Pio of Pietrelcina (1887-1968) was a Capuchin monk and mystic whose life was marked with miracles and wonders, but who said that his only desire was "to be a poor friar who prays." Observes the author: "When people write about Padre Pio, they tend to dwell on the penitential aspect of his life, thereby giving a somewhat dark and medieval tinge to his personality-. Padre Pio was and is a man of hope. Throughout his life, in the midst of the most difficult trials, he always looked to the future with a spirit of optimism, faith, and love." In this intimate biography, you will see the results of this humble Capuchin's prayers and discover for yourself the Source of his great hope. |

| Paga is the first new studio album from Kelly Willard in eleven years. The veteran praise & worship singer/songwriter was a featured soloist on over two dozen praise projects from Integrity, Vineyard Music and Maranatha! Music. She sang duets and background vocals with artists like Twila Paris, Fernando Ortega and the late Keith Green, in addition to cutting nine of her own solo projects. Yet, there was a time when Kelly walked away from a vibrant ministry because of her commitment to family. I couldn't travel, be there for my marriage and children and be everything the public wanted me to be, she explains. I was being pulled in too many different directions. Caring for her family included serving as caregiver for her mother, who suffered for ten years with Alzheimer s. As if that wasn't enough, it was during this time that Kelly was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Then, in 2004, her entire life seemed to unravel. In less than one year, her marriage failed, both her parents died, and her teenage daughter, Haylie Grace Willard, who also struggled with bipolar disorder, took her own life. Many people would have given up after a year like that, but Kelly never did. And through it all, she never stopped writing songs. Not songs of bitterness, but songs about leaning into the loving hand of God and trusting Him for every need. Kelly explains, Most of the songs on Paga are either a desperate, heartfelt cry for closer communion with God, or a declaration of the truth about Him that I already believe deep within, similar to the many times when David, in the Psalms, cried out to the Lord for help with the challenges he was facing, only to end in a proclamation of Who he knew God to be. Named after the Hebrew word meaning sacrifice for the purpose of intercession, Paga features songs of submission and living by faith in the One who loves us more than we can fathom. Musically beautiful and spiritually powerful, Paga is an album that will inspire listeners toward a deeper relationship with our Creator and Lord. |

| This book sounds a warning about the neo-Nazi Identity movement. It reveals a pseudo-Christian cult whose goals and beliefs differ radically from Biblical beliefs. |

| Who's ever heard of a reverse Rapture? Larry Hutch may have a few loose screws in his head, but he's determined to create a hit with his latest manuscript. While dealing with personal crises, he conceives of a strange new world: on a routine Monday morning in Atlanta, an unwary "pagan" finds himself one of the last remaining unbelievers in a world populated by Christians. Christians can buy gas for twelve cents a gallon, while everyone else (the pagans, that is) has to pay $6.66. The radio stations alter all song lyrics to conform to "Christian" standards-the Beatles belt out "I Wanna Hold Your Tithe"; Abba's "Dancing Queen" becomes "Dancing's Wrong." Even French fries, newly labeled "McScriptures," are tools for evangelism. Larry's novel is a big hit with his agent, Ned. But Ned's wife-a committed Southern Baptist-is less than amused. And Larry has yet to show the manuscript to his new girlfriend, even though he's made her the unsuspecting heroine. It will take deft handling from both men to keep their lives and their relationships intact when the world witnesses A PAGAN'S NIGHTMARE. |

| It seems with every book I've readThe pages get inside my head.The latest book that I checked outCame with pirates strewn about.I turned the page to chapter fourWhere I was handed down an oarAnd rowed until my hands were raw.Then the rocky coast I saw.It loomed against the darkening sky;A castle bold was standing high.See how with the books I've readThe pages get inside my head? |
