"Light in the Darkness - How to Bring Christ to the Souls You Meet Each Day" |
Elisabeth Leseur |
$18.15 (paperback) |
"Elisabeth Leseur's holiness won many souls to Christ, including that of her atheistic husband, Felix. After her death, Felix read Elisabeth's secret spiritual diary, renounced his atheism, and became a priest! Now we offer you the works of spiritual guidance that Elisabeth wrote for friends and relatives who asked her for spiritual help. These writings reveal the secret of Elisabeth's goodness. They show how she was able to be for so many a 'light in the darkness' - and how you can be such a light, too. Elisabeth's path to God was not easy. She was constantly ill, and her husband mocked her Faith. Yet she was not defeated. Behind the scenes, she kept up a spiritual routine that enabled her to become an exemplary wife and a beloved friend. Now you, too, can gain the spiritual vitality that sustained Elisabeth - by following the simple plan for holiness she outlines here." (from the backcover of the book) 150 pages |

"Lord Have Mercy: The Healing Power of Confession" |
Scott Hahn |
$27.95 (hardcover) Canadian $19.00 U.S. |
"Jesus told his first clergy,'If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.' In Lord, Have Mercy Scott Hahn explores the sacrament of reconciliation and shows why it is the key to spiritual growth, particularly in these times of intense anxiety and uncertainty. Drawing on the history of ancient Israel, the Gospels, the writings of the early Church, and the lives of the saints, Hahn reveals the living, scriptural heart of the Church's teachings on penance, forgiveness, and reconciliation. It is a story that begins with the sin of Adam and Eve, continues in the biographies of Moses, King David, and the Apostle Peter, and reverberates in the lives of believers today. Hahn presents the Catholic and biblical perspective on sin and mercy, elucidating in clear, easily understood language the true import of Jesus' simple, yet profound promise - 'I am the door; if anyone enters by Me, he will be saved' (John 10;9)" (From the front flap of the dust jacket) 214 pages; published 2003 |
