Description: The many gifts Padre Pio had such as the stigmata, bilocation, miraculous scents, prophecy, reading hearts, healing, interpreting languages and many other charisms, rank him among the most extraordinary Saints in the two-thousand year history of the Church. Padre Pio—The Wonder Worker not only examines these gifts close up and from different perspectives, but is capable of challenging the faithless, of exciting interest among the wavering and of inspiring the faithful to strive for holiness. Though the book records many authenticated wonders, the book's main virtue consists in recounting the life and heroic virtues of this modern day Saint who shows that the way to personal holiness is very much with us in our day. The first seven chapters are a biographical sketch, followed by over thirty chapters dealing with the many inspiring facts pertaining to his life and charisms. Also included are chapters on the Beatification ceremony in Rome and the Pope's homilies. These short interesting chapters are written by a host of writers and devotees of the Padre such as Fr. John Schug, OFM Cap, Fr. Stefano Manelli, F.I., Mary Ann Budnik, Padre Alberto, Cardinal Ursi, Fr. Bernardino of Siena, Fr. Andre Apostoli and many others. Illustrated with dozens of photos.

Description: Who were the mysterious medieval Knights Templar? What is the special Templar symbolism in some of the Grail romances? Did the Templars find the lost treasures of Jerusalem, and if so, what happened to them? Why were they arrested and tortured in 1307? And why, a year later, did some imprisoned Templars create unusual carvings on the walls of Chinon Castle tower--images which are still undeciphered today? How does their mythos and its meaning live on today? The powerful Knights Templar, the famed monastic warriors of the Crusades, have long been shrouded in mystery. They were believed to conduct mystical rites, guard the Grail, and possess the lost treasures of Jerusalem. They were also bankers to kings and popes, trusted diplomats, farmers, business executives and navigators. In this important new book on the history of the Templars, medieval historian Dr. Karen Ralls presents the unfolding drama of the Templars through time, examining the many beliefs and theories about their presumed powers and knowledge. Drawing on both academic sources (Part One) and selected popular sources (Part Two), a solidly-researched, up-to-date perspective is provided. This book also examines important lingering questions about the events preceding the official founding of the Order, the trial of the Templars, the Ark of the Covenant, excavations under the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, the burning of Grand Master Jacques de Molay, the Champagne fairs, women Templars, Gothic cathedrals, the 'Jolly Roger' flag symbolism, importance of Our Lady, alchemy, Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland, various New World theories, and much more. Other features include an extensive Bibliography, and four appendices--a detailed Chronology of Events (1118-1571), a list of Grand Masters, information on Templar sites, and rare illustrations and photographs of the stone carvings, artifacts and regalia relating to Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland. The result is a riveting read and a vital contribution to the history of the Templars and their enduring legacy today.

Description: A thorough examination of the history of the Templars in Spain and Portugal
• Explores the mysteries surrounding the location of Templar enclaves
• Examines the Templar connections to the Cathars and to the troubadour culture
• Looks at the Order’s influence in the kingdoms of Aragon and Catalonia and the Spanish monarchy itself
The rise and fall of the Templar Order constitutes a fundamental and decisive episode in medieval history, and the destruction of the Order constitutes a pivotal point that fundamentally altered the direction of society. While much is known about the history of the Templar Order in France, home of its chief commandery in Paris, and in the Latin States of the Middle East, their contribution to events on the Iberian peninsula has until now remained obscure and unexplored.
Renowned Templar scholar Juan García Atienza reveals here the important role the Templars played in the Reconquista that saw the Moors driven out of Spain and demonstrates the great influence they exerted in the kingdoms of Castille and Navarre and the territories of Catalonia and Aragon. He examines the mysterious connections between the Templars and the Cathars and troubadours as well as the mystery surrounding the location of all the Templar enclaves in the Iberian peninsula. He also unveils the important role the Templars had as teachers of the Spanish king James I, known as the Conqueror, whose attempt to establish a universal theocratic empire may have been a reflection of Templar ambitions, and explores the Order’s suppression in Spain and how it survived in Portugal by simply changing its name.

Description: Egypt, the birthplace of communal monasticism, has a rich store of monasteries and monastic art. Coptic Monasteries takes the reader on a tour of the best preserved and most significant of these ancient religious centers, documenting in exhaustive detail the richness and the glory of the Coptic heritage. An informative introduction by Tim Vivian brings to life the early Christian era, with background information on the origins of the Coptic Church as well as its rites and ceremonies, sketches of some of monasticism's founding figures, and accounts of some of the difficulties they faced, from religious schism to nomadic attacks. Gawdat Gabra's expert commentary, complemented by almost one hundred full-color photographs of newly restored wall paintings and architectural features, covers monasteries from Aswan to Wadi al-Natrun. Ranging across a thousand years of history, Gabra's observations will make any reader an expert on the composition and content of some of Egypt's most outstanding religious art, the salient architectural features of each monastery, as well as the ongoing process of restoration that has returned much of their original vibrancy to these works. A unique and invaluable historical record, Coptic Monasteries is equally an in-depth, on-the-spot guide to these living monuments or an armchair trip back in time to the roots of one of the world's oldest Christian traditions.

Description: Combining poetic prose and dozens of stunning photos in both color and black and white, this extraordinary book draws readers into the prayerful rhythms of monasticism. The text includes a brief outline of the development of the Trappist order; the history of Mepkin Abbey in South Carolina, the site of these beautiful and evocative photographs; and-the major part of the book-insightful reflections on key themes of Trappist life. These themes include such topics as solitude, anticipation, hospitality, hope, patience, commitment, the sanctity of work and the love of scripture. And at the heart of the monastic life is the idea of waiting-keeping constant vigil for the God who comes even now. Within this quiet life is the same struggle faced in the outside world, the same need for continual conversion. So while the monastery's values and virtues are unique, they also echo the universal call to holiness heard by every Christian.
