St. Paul was struck down by divine power, from a bolt of spiritual lightning. In our own lives, we also experience moments of spiritual lightning, whether subtly, dramatically, or circumstantially. Throughout this attention-grabbing book, Deacon Richard Eason reveals how to let God’s power run wild in your soul so that you can be formed in Christ’s values and revel in the abundant life.
Through compelling real-life examples, including sports analogies, Deacon Eason focuses each chapter on a specific teaching, grace, and spiritual reflection to empower you on the road to salvation. Also included for each teaching are questions for personal contemplation and to foster group discussions. These potent and enlightening reflections show you how to identify the “lightning experiences” God uses to touch your soul. They will help you discover:

*How to develop a master plan to follow Christ’s teachings and attain Heaven
Additionally, Deacon Eason will help you perceive how to grow in docility to the Holy Spirit, develop a truly personal relationship with God through a dedicated prayer life, and reach out to others in selfless love. He includes multiple methods to aid you in cultivating virtue and self-discipline, from the sacraments, to the daily examen, to keeping a scorecard. He also reflects upon the importance of Our Lady in our spiritual lives, revealing stunning modern-day miracles obtained through her intercession.
Through personal anecdotes and inspiring stories, Deacon Eason reveals how to develop strength and courage during times of suffering and ways to obtain healing. He shows you how to garner the benefits of “autopilot faith” and develop trust in God through prayer, leading to positive transformation, spiritual tranquility, and increased joy and happiness. By the end of the book, you will have the tools to develop a “spiritual bucket plan” for attaining life’s ultimate goal – eternal life with Jesus in Heaven.

Return Of The Prodigal Son
$17.00Add to cartA chance encounter with a reproduction of Rembrandt’s The Return of the Prodigal Son catapulted Henri Nouwen on a long spiritual adventure. Here he shares the deeply personal and resonant meditation that led him to discover the place within where God has chosen to dwell.
In seizing the inspiration that came to him through Rembrandt’s depiction of the powerful Gospel story, Henri Nouwen probes the several movements of the parable: the younger son’s return, the father’s restoration of sonship, the elder son’s vengefulness, and the father’s compassion. In his reflection on Rembrandt in light of his own life journey, the author evokes a powerful drama of the parable in a rich, capativating way that is sure to reverberate in the hearts of readers. The themes of homecoming, affirmation, and reconciliation will be newly discovered by all who have known loneliness, dejection, jealousy, or anger. The challenge to love as the father and be loved as the son will be seen as the ultimate revelation of the parable known to Christians throughout time, and here represented with a vigor and power fresh for our times.
For all who ask, “Where has my struggle led me?” or for those “on the road” who have had the courage to embark on the journey but seek the illumination of a known way and safe passage, this work will inspire and guide each time it is read.
