Inside The Mind Of Thomas More
$14.95
St. Thomas More is known primarily for his writing of a satirical work about a perfect society, Utopia, a word whose Greek origin betrays a double meaning: “perfect” and “nowhere.” But this eventual Patron of Statesmen was not finished writing. Once he was imprisoned in the Tower of London, he poured out his soul in a series of spiritual books which have been recorded but not widely read. Now they are once again available in new editions that have appeared in recent years. Drawing on re-translations into modern English of More’s works on the spiritual life, the authors, both lawyers, examine the overwhelming consistency in More’s behavior between his spiritual writings and his heroic resistance to the tyranny of conscience that was being waged against him, as the only significant opponent to the destruction of the Catholic Church by the King of England. This book is an excellent introduction to all of More’s spiritual writings and should lead the reader to the full pursuit of each of them

Treasures Old And New
$3.00Praying to God is essential to Catholics. Treasures Old and New offers a way to deepen your relationship with God. With user-friendly devotions and novenas, the book gives readers a way to participate more fully in prayer.
Treasures Old and New offers a modern approach to traditional prayers. It increases the understanding that praying is a way to thank God for your life and all His many blessings. These litanies, prayers, and novenas give readers the words to use to converse with God both internally and externally. Praying is participating and offering gratitude to God, and we are reminded that our Lord will not force a blessing upon us–receive and give thanks.
Gratitude prepares the soul for humility, and humility makes prayer come more easily. The more we rest and work and play in prayer, the more we come to live the Word of God in thanksgiving.
