Catholic Bible For Children
Joy Of Believing
$19.95
As a convert from atheism Madeleine Delbrel arrived near Paris in 1933 with “No secrets and nothing to hide” as she put it. Her only desire was to live an unconditional openness to the gospel and to become a true neighbor to those living near her, especially the poor. She made friends with people from every strata of society – believers and non-believers alike. In her day to day life she discovered and articulated what is required of the follower of Christ.
This classic spiritual masterpiece consists mainly of Madeleine’s private writings which joyfully reflect God’s personal love of each and every person. These precious pages include excerpts from her letters, notes, and poetry on daily living the Christian faith in modern culture. You will learn how to cultivate your spiritual life, value sufferings that arise, and more. You will further discover “A Simple Guide for Simple Christians” with priceless maxims on how to grow in prayerful surrender and love of God and neighbor, regardless of your circumstances. Fascinatingly, you will also find:
*How St. Charles de Foucauld’s apostolate changed the world and can be shared by you – now
*The secret to happiness and effectiveness in loving others in every occupation
*Three ways to love the Divine Bridegroom totally regardless of your vocation
*Six meditations on daily life to assist you in opening your heart to God’s will and living with joy
*The “spirituality of the bike” (Are you ready for the ride?)
*The practical mysticism contained in the Beatitudes
Madeleine’s intense awareness of God’s reality and His presence gave her an ongoing dynamism in her struggles against injustice and unhappiness in all its forms. As she rubbed shoulders with atheists her love of God grew more and more alive and she became a model for those grappling with faith. She will inspire you in daily living out those twin commandments of loving God and neighbor that Madeleine described as “inseparable but distinct.”
Madeleine’s writing is filled with true-love, genuine hope, and compassion. She will help you fall in love with God and let yourself be loved as His cherished creation. Through her rich meditations, you will also learn to grow in deeper prayer and experience the faith which she said is the “temporal commitment of eternal love.”

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.

Listen To Your Blessed Mother
$14.99Mary, the mother of Jesus, is recorded minimally in Scripture. Yet her words are filled with significance and rich meaning that can easily be misunderstood or misinterpreted by untrained hearers. Have you doubted Mary’s role in God’s plan based on the words of Scripture? Would you like to understand more fully what is intended when Jesus’ reaction is unexpected in relation to his Mother?
Gary Zimak explores both the spoken and unspoken words that Mary is recorded to have said and acted upon in the gospel narratives. The Word of God reaps manifold fruits in those who hear. Are we able to listen and understand the words of Mary in Scripture with open hearts?
Our Lady is a woman of few words, but when pondering with our hearts, we begin to understand that wisdom often begins in silence.

Problem Of Pain
$16.99For centuries Christians have been tormented by one question above all — If God is good and all-powerful, why does he allow his creatures to suffer pain? C. S. Lewis sets out to disentangle this knotty issue but wisely adds that in the end no intellectual solution can dispense with the necessity for patience and courage.
