St. Raphael Kalinowski was one of the first people to recognize the value and significance of the message of St. ThErEse of Lisieux. This was in the very early days when even some Carmelite prioresses had failed to grasp the importance of ThErEse for the modern era in the church. He wrote: "Armed with the sign of the Cross I open the book (Story of a Soul) and find the place where the fire in her heart unites with the burning heart of Jesus in Vivre d'Amour.(To Live by Love).Suddenly the storm dies down, calm returns and something indescribable floods my whole being and...

Y'all Come seeks to understand G-d's call to Jesus the way that Jesus understood it--to see the Jesus that Jesus saw. The Jesus of Y'all Come was inviting Israel, the religious community, to join him as residents of G-d's neighborhood. He did so by teaching and modeling what life looked like in that neighborhood. By accepting Jesus's invitation, Israel would live into her "chosen" status as established by the Sinai covenant. She would become the "holy nation" of Exodus 19:6 and the "light to the nations" of Isaiah 49:6. She would do so by sharing the same holy light with other nations that...

My purpose in writing this book is to have the reader experience the places and events that were significant in the life of Mary Magdalene. She has left us a rich tradition and legacy.

Most of all, the Magdalene's courage and steadfast love can inspire us all. Jesus, himself, chose her to be the first witness of his Resurrection--the miracle that is the cornerstone of all Christianity.

This presentation of the birth of Jesus Christ reveals Jesus's existence from Scriptures as a -moving- picture of His life from first mention through early childhood - a present-day revelation of Jesus's birth Using primarily Scriptures, the story unfolds to reveal a bigger picture than is usually presented in the traditional telling of Jesus's birth. Prophecies from millennia past, the words of Jesus, and of the Holy Scriptures are woven together. As with a tapestry, a fuller view of God's plan and purpose for the birth of Jesus is revealed.

Most of us know Luke as the writer of one of the gospels in the New Testament. We forget he was the first Christian physician and a historian par excellence.

In Doctor Luke's Books, author Joseph Craig starts with a short, biographical sketch of Luke, the physician-writer of the gospel of Luke and the Acts of the apostles. These books, written by Luke but inspired by God, are excellent examples of literature. What is more, Luke's books contain many miraculous healings by the Great Physician, Jesus Christ. Craig helps you to understand the significance of these healings and why they...
