From Blessing To Blessing
$6.95
For the majority of Catholics, the Catechism of the Catholic Church appears intimidating as a reading experience. Few would consider picking it up as a devotional help or a practical guidebook to their Catholic faith. The CCC is, in reality, a document easily navigated and deeply enriching with the right tools.
The purpose of From Blessing to Blessing: The Catechism as a Journey of Faith is not so much to rehash the content of the CCC it speaks beautifully for itself but to explain its purpose, structure and themes, and so allow its truths to unfold for the reader. The primary approach to the CCC must intend to seek more than an informational read; it calls for a journey, the Christian journey of faith. The Catechism seeks not simply to inform us about Church tenets, but to form us wholly as Catholics. It does not stop at telling us about the faith, but continues deeper, helping to instill faith in us as we come to absorb the beauty of the truth taught by the Catholic Church.
From Blessing to Blessing: The Catechism as a Journey of Faith is designed to:
– enable individual study of the Catechism of the Catholic Church
– support RCIA and other adult faith formation programs
– supplement diaconate or seminary training
– provide a basic foundation for the Pillars: A Journey through the Catechism study program

Return Of The Prodigal Son
$17.00A 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.
