Who was Jesus of Nazareth?

How did he teach us to live?
Why did Jesus found the Church?
What does the Church teach us today?

These and many other crucial questions are answered in Life in Christ, a clear, concise guide to the teachings of the Catholic Church designed specifically for adults. Presented in the traditional question-and-answer format, this guide is easy to read and yet completely thorough.

Now revised in accordance with the new Catechism of the Catholic Church, Life in Christ covers all aspects of Catholic life, including prayer, the sacraments, the Holy Spirit, and such controversial topics as abortion, birth control, divorce, and annulment. Totally grounded in Scripture and Church teaching, this is an accessible presentation of Catholic faith and the ideal companion to the new Catechism.

Life in Christ is an excellent introduction or refresher for anyone -- Catholic and non-Catholic alike -- who is seeking to understand more about Jesus Christ, the Catholic Church, and modern Christianity.


 

  Essential Rumi

 
Essential Rumi under Catechisms in The Books Store
Price: $23.95
Sale: $7.62
 
Manufacturer: HarperOne
Number of Items: 1
 
 
Binding: Hardcover
Author: Coleman Barks
Publisher: HarperOne
Edition: 7th
Dewey Decimal Number: 891.5511
Publication Date: 1995-06-08
Reading Level: 320
 
Description: No translator could do greater justice to the gorgeous simplicity of Rumi's poetry than Coleman Barks has done here. These exquisite renderings of the 13th-century Persian mystic's words into American free verse capture all the "inner searching, the delicacy, and simple groundedness" that characterize Rumi's poetry while remaining faithful to the images, tone, and spiritual message of the originals. Barks's introductions to each of the 27 sections (described as "playful palimpsests spread over Rumi's imagination," and "meant to confuse scholars who would divide Rumi's poetry into the accepted categories") are themselves wonderful achievements of a poetic imagination; searching explanations of unfamiliar concepts and funny stories provide colorful background and frame the selections as no dry historical exegesis could.

While Barks's stamp on this collection is clear, it in no way interferes with the poems themselves; Rumi's voice leaps off these pages with an ecstatic energy that leaves readers breathless. There are poems of love, rage, sadness, pleading, and longing; passionate outbursts about the torture of longing for his beloved and the sweet pleasure that comes from their union; amusing stories of sexual exploits or human weakness; and quiet truths about the beauty and variety of human emotion. More than anything, Rumi makes plain the unbridled joy that comes from living life fully, urging us always to put aside our fears and take the risk to do so. As he says: "The way of love is not / a subtle argument. / The door there is devastation. / Birds make great sky-circles / of their freedom. / How do they learn it? / They fall, and falling, / they're given wings." --Uma Kukathas

Author: Lewis Ayres

Description: Lewis Ayres offers a new account of the most important century in the development of Christian belief after Christ. He shows how the doctrine of the Trinity was developed, and in particular argues that a conception of God's mysteriousness and spiritual progress towards understanding is central to that doctrine. He also proposes that modern theologies of the Trinity fail to appreciate the depth and power of Nicene trinitarianism.
