The New York Times has described James Martin as maybe “the only Jesuit priest with a degree from the Wharton School,” and in the wake of our current economic crisis, the story of his remarkable journey from corporate America to the Society of Jesus couldn’t be more timely. From the halls of General Electric under Jack Welch to his entry into the priesthood, In Good Company tells this seeker’s powerful story with humor and grace. The book’s gems of wisdom will appeal to anyone seeking meaning in daily life. Fast-paced, compelling, and often humorous, his story offers a fresh, inside look at corporate America, the Jesuit vocation, and the human quest for a life well-lived. The Tenth Anniversary Edition features a new Preface by the author. -

People Of The Covenant
$16.95Add to cartThe fourth book in Sheed & Ward’s popular Come & See Series, People of the Covenant is a highly accessible and
fascinating introduction to the Old Testament that reveals the text as anything but old. Sister Bergant sets the stage with a brief introduction to the First Testament itself, the world and religion of ancient Israel, and the Covenant between God and the Israelites. Then, in a unique presentation, she invites readers to explore the text through the lens of the people who populate it. Here we learn about the relationship between God and his people from Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Joshua, Deborah, David, Solomon, Moses, Isaiah, Aaron, Zadok, Woman Wisdom, Job, Ruth, and many more. In the process we learn the history and
relevance of ancient Israel while learning about the ancestors, judges, kings, prophets, priests, wise ones, mysterious figures,
rebels, lovers, and healers who bring the First Testament to life and lay the foundation for the New, or Second Testament.
Discussion questions, a concluding summary, and ideas for further reading make this a perfect book for contemporary
Christians and all students of the Bible.
