Spiritual Masters for All Seasons
Michael Ford
Every age needs figures of spiritual inspiration but, in times of recession and
uncertainty, they are essential in helping us to rise above despair and to search for God
deep within ourselves. In this new book, Michael Ford invites four spiritual masters onto
the same stage for the first time and shows how they speak, not only to our own times,
but for all seasons. Thomas Merton, Henri Nouwen, Anthony de Mello and John
O’Donohue all died suddenly at the height of their fame as spiritual masters, but they
continue to have immense followings. What was their secret and why do their legacies
endure? Through unpublished interviews with some of the authors themselves,
encounters with their friends and reflections from readers who have been inspired by
their writings, Michael Ford journeys across the United States and Europe to assess
their place in the world of contemporary spirituality.

Joy to the World: How Christ’s Coming Changed Everything (And Still Does)
Scott Hahn
What could be more familiar than the Christmas story — and yet what could be more
extraordinary? The cast of characters is strange and exotic: shepherds and magicians,
an emperor and a despot, angels, and a baby who is Almighty God. The strangeness
calls for an explanation, and this book provides it by examining the characters and the
story in light of the biblical and historical context. Bestselling author Scott Hahn who has
written extensively on Scripture and the early Church, brings evidence to light, dispelling
some of the mystery of the story. Yet Christmas is made familiar all over again by
showing it to be a family story. Christmas, as it appears in the New Testament, is the
story of a father, a mother, and a child — their relationships, their interactions, their
principles, their individual lives, and their common life. To see the life of this “earthly
trinity” is to gaze into heaven.

Author: Brant Pitre

droves.” – Bishop Robert Barron, author of Catholicism

Wisdom from the Psalms
Peter Kreeft
The Psalms are the most popular, most universally loved and used book in the Bible, which in turn is the most popular book in the world. They are hymns, songs, poems and prayers, both formal (liturgical and communal) and informal (spontaneous, personal, and individual); and this gives them many layers of meaning rather than one, unlike theologies and creeds.
They Psalms are literally inexhaustible, so a new book of reflections on them is always welcome. Especially a book by the beloved, widely read, best-selling author and philosopher, Peter Kreeft.
In this work Kreeft shares his personal explorations into the riches of the Psalms, his profound expeditions into this deep ocean of the divinely inspired spiritual water. He focuses on the dozen or so Psalms that are most people’s favorites, including Kreeft.
Kreeft says that the Psalms are powerful prayers, and a spiritual weapon that God himself has given us for our great task of spiritual warfare, which is human life on earth.
Salt and Light: The Spiritual Journey of Elizabeth and Felix Leseur
Bernadette Chovelon
Élisabeth and Félix Leseur began their life together in France as a carefree young couple with a bright future ahead of them. They were beautifully and compatibly matched, except for one major difference – Élisabeth was a devout Catholic, but Félix was a firmly decided atheist. As they faced the seasons of life together, their relationship was tested, and both were called to deep spiritual transformation.
Out of love for her husband, Élisabeth spent her life offering her many sufferings for the sake of his conversion. After her death, and in response to the profound love he encountered in her writings, Félix converted and offered the rest of his life to God as a Dominican priest.
This biography is a lovely narrative of their marriage and the transformative power of God’s love and grace in their lives.
The Contemplative Hunger
Fr. Donald Haggerty
A soul desiring to give itself in love to God faces great challenges that require understanding and some encouraging advice. Written in a style of short and effective meditations on prayer and contemplative spirituality, the concise reflections in this book address the heart of a soul’s interior response to God. God’s desire to draw souls to a deeper gift of themselves is inseparable from his desire to draw them into a deeper encounter with the sacred mystery of his presence.
Offering an abundance of insights into the value of silence, deep faith, trust and interior surrender to God, Father Haggerty also illumines the link between contemplation and love for poverty and the poor, and makes a strong appeal to the importance of prayer as the primary answer to the crisis of faith that afflicts so many people today.
