Description: -You must always, always tell the truth, no matter the consequences, for you must model yourself on Jehovah, and Jehovah does not lie. This is the most crucial rule of all,+ Joy Castro is told as a young girl in a Jehovah+s Witness family. Joy is 12 years old when her divorced mother marries a brother in the church. He is highly respected in the community, having displayed the ultimate sign of spiritual devotion: he served at Bethel, the Watchtower headquarters in Brooklyn. At home, however, he is a despicable brute. For the two years her mother is married to him, Joy does not grow at all; in fact, she loses 16 pounds, an eloquent testimony to the physical, emotional, psychological, and sexual abuse she suffers at his hands. Her battered mother does nothing to protect her, nor does her church. She is sustained by a consuming fascination for horses and books and her protective love for her younger brother. Their daring escape from this unspeakable cruelty, to discover a nurturing home with their father, is the key to their survival and salvation.

Description: Written by the author of the best-selling Francis: The Journey and the Dream, this brief meditation describes Francis' method of prayer. Francis considered this threefold path to God a precondition for anyone wishing to achieve a spiritual interior life. The path has three loves which are really the same: loving God through loving others, through loving nature, and through loving one's self. Focusing on the Other through love is the very center of Franciscan thought. How we love and the extent of that love then teaches us how to pray. Francis is sometimes portrayed as a dreamy romantic, a knight-errant, a troubadour, a poor fool for the poor Christ. The book shows how Francis was also very much a realist and how his three-way path fits practically within day-to-day living. The book shows how embracing others, especially the poor and rejected, is a way of embracing those parts of ourselves we haven't yet accepted; thus we're brought to a new healthier sense of the body and of sexuality. The world is good and holy; this is the Franciscan gift to the world. This slim book offers enriching help for spiritual seekers, for those looking for a more affirming way to pray, for those in need of self-forgiveness and love, and for those working toward social justice. It's also a delight and a treasure for Francis devotees and for anyone who wants to find "the Francis within."

Description: La historia extraordinaria de la Madre Angélica, fundadora de la multimillonaria Cadena de Televisión Eternal World y “la católica más influyente de Estados Unidos”, según la revista Time.En 1981, un año después de que Ted Turner creara CNN, una sencilla monja, sólo con sus instintos empresariales y doscientos dólares, fundó en el garaje de un monasterio de Birmingham, Alabama, lo que se convertiría en el imperio religioso de medios de difusión más grande del mundo. Bajo su guía, la Cadena de Televisión Eternal World (EWTN) creció a un ritmo asombroso, tanto en número de televidentes como en influencia, hasta el punto de que ahora llega a más de cien millones de televidentes en cientos de países de todo el mundo.Nacida como Rita Rizzo en Canton, Ohio, en 1923, la Madre Angélica fue abandonada por su padre y criada en la pobreza por una madre que padecía de depresión. De joven, Rita sufrió fuertes dolores abdominales que los médicos pensaron que se debían a un “problema de los nervios”, pero sus síntomas desaparecieron cuando una mística de su localidad rezó por ella. Al darse cuenta del poder de la oración, Rita juró dedicar su vida a Dios y se hizo monja de clausura, con la esperanza de pasar toda su existencia lejos del mundo. Pero muy pronto, la fe de Rita la impulsó a realizar obras increíbles, desde establecer un monasterio en Alabama hasta dar inicio a la primera cadena católica de televisión por cable. Confiando únicamente en “la providencia de Dios”, la Madre Angélica construyó un imperio sin prestar atención a presupuestos ni a campañas de recaudación, y logró lo que ni los más altos prelados de la Iglesia Católica habían logrado hacer. Raymond Arroyo combina su objetividad periodística y su habilidad para captar los detalles en los más de cinco años de entrevistas exclusivas con la Madre Angélica, para traernos esta increíble historia. En su narración, Arroyo sigue el tortuoso ascenso al éxito de la Madre y saca a la luz por primera vez la feroz oposición que ella enfrentó, tanto dentro como fuera de la Iglesia Católica. Esta es una inspiradora historia de supervivencia y una prueba de que la fe de una mujer puede mover mucho más que montañas.

Description: St. Therese of Lisieux, who died unknown in a Carmelite convent at the age of 24, became one of the most influential women in the world after her autobiography (The Story of a Soul) was posthumously published in 1898. Mother Teresa of Calcutta took her name from Therese; Edith Piaf kept Therese's picture on her night table; in 1997, Pope John Paul II made her a Doctor of the Church-- only the third woman to receive this distinction. Her autobiography describes a spiritual life full of everyday revelations--she saw God in jam sandwiches, pretty hats, and beautiful flowers. Maurice and Therese: The Story of a Love shows how her commonplace spirituality ministered to an aimless young priest unsure of his vocation and unstable in his devotion. Maurice Belliere wrote to Therese's Mother Prioress to ask that a nun pray for him, Therese was assigned to the task, and their 21 letters (edited and with commentary by Patrick Traherne) illustrate the young woman's extraordinary ability to love. She wasn't deeply familiar with Maurice, and she didn't agree with him on lots of things, but she was naturally inclined to have faith in him--a necessary aspect of love, and one that deserves attention. --Michael Joseph Gross

Description: Seeing life in light of Eternity This is not a book about using Thérèse's "little way" as a path to holiness. Thérèse's spirituality is often dismissed as cloyingly sweet and sentimental, useless for modern seekers. This new IlluminationBook uncovers how Thérèse's sweetness was just a stylistic convention expected in the religious writing of her day. Beneath the form, says the author, is a straightforward spirituality that offers a practical, concrete, and very realistic method for preserving one's sanity in an often-insane world. At the heart of Thérèse's method is learning how to keep one's perspective by seeing all things in light of eternity, seeing all things the way God sees. This enables one to live more authentically and more attentively. The method helps readers to become involved in life without being absorbed by it, to love without becoming enmeshed, and to deal with life's absurdities without losing faith or peace of mind. Five simple everyday choices help foster this perspective and transform ordinary life into moments of true grace. Those already devoted to the Little Flower will love this fresh new look at her spirituality. In addition, the book makes for enlightening and perhaps surprising reading for pastors, clergy and religious, directors of religious ed, retreat directors, chaplains, and family counselors. The principle of viewing life in light of eternity can also provide comfort and relief for parents dealing with children, for those experiencing change or loss, and for people in therapy.
