On The Side Of The Poor
$28.00
For many years the theology of liberation, which emerged from Latin America in the 1970s, was viewed with suspicion and even hostility in Rome. In this historic exchange, Father Gustavo Gutierrez, one of the original architects of liberation theology, and Cardinal Gerhard Muller, current Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, offer a new and positive chapter. Cardinal Muller, who as a student of Gutierrez spent many summers working in Peru, writes with deep feeling and conviction about the contributions of liberation theology to church teaching-particularly in its articulation of the preferential option for the poor.
In his own contribution here, Gutierrez lays out the essential ideas of liberation theology, its ecclesial location, and its fresh enunciation of the gospel for our time.

Roxy The Ritzy Camel
$15.99Add to cartBestselling author Anthony DeStefano brings the vain and possession-loving Roxy the camel to life to demonstrate the familiar Bible verse: It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. Little ones ages three and older will learn that possessions are only things…and definitely NOT the most important things.
Brightly illustrated by Richard Cowdrey and written in engaging, funny rhyme, this storybook follows Roxy’s journey from her waterless home in the desert to a great city of beauty she’s heard about but never seen. Along the way she learns that the only way to attain true happiness is to share–or even give away–what she possesses.
