The Rule of Saint Benedict for Everyone
$8.95
NCP:3514
by Sr. M. Regina Goberna

Drawing on the Dialogues of St. Gregory and St. Benedict’s Rule for Monks, Goberna uses the life and writings of Saint Benedict to address in a modern and simple way the longings for sincerity, simplicity, and value that were as heartfelt in his lifetime as they are today. His message remains as valid as ever, especially because he invites readers to experience the abiding happiness that is a fruit of the Spirit. Benedict would surely recognize himself in this fresh portrait, through which he still offers a seam of gold to all who long for sure guidance in the ways of prayer and in relationships among family and community. Sr. Regina’s lively touch of Benedictine realism is sure to challenge and satisfy readers — young and not-so-young alike.

Francis: The Saint of Assisi
$19.95
NCP:9781565483323
A modern retelling of the life of St. Francis of Assisi, this book combines historical details and dramatic style. The author explores the daily lives of Francis and Clare and the lives of thirteen-century Assisi and beautifully translates their stories in these pages. St. Francis: The Saint of Assisi reads like both a love story and a biographical account of the life of the most universally acclaimed saint.

"The strength of Joan Mueller's novel is its close adherence to the historical realities of the medieval world of Saint Francis. I could see and hear the everyday lives of Francis and his brothers, of Clare and her sisters, of ordinary citizens. Mueller's rendering of the lives of clergymen and knights puts a human face on the intricate workings of church and state in war and peace."

Murray Bodo, O.F.M.

Understanding the Gospels
$9.95
SCP:70713
The last two hundred years show the emergence of an enormous growth industry in the field of Biblical analysis, particularly on the evidence presented in the Gospel accounts of the life of Jesus Christ. But most often the exhaustive analysis brought to bear on the Gospels is dominated by a biased point-of-view against their authenticity. Authors who have taken the position of “liberal” criticism claim that the Gospels do not show the true Jesus, but one who has been idealized and mythologized by his followers.

Written by faculty from the University of Navarre, this book takes the approach of a careful study of the texts and their surrounding circumstances to show that the Gospels are both a reflection of the Apostles’ preaching about Jesus as well as trustworthy historical testimonies to his life and work.

Global Good News: Unseen Work of the Catholic Church
$3.99

World-renowned Vatican expert and highly respected journalist, John Allen, highlights what's inspiring in the global Church today that rarely gets media coverage.

This world-traveling reporter covers the Vatican for a major national Catholic newspaper and for CNN. What he has seen and heard of the Church's presence here on earth inspires us and challenges us to truly live our faith.

Vignettes from several parts of the world show the vibrancy, buoyancy, and hope of what's working in local Catholic faith communities around the globe. Each "snapshot" is followed by two questions for reflection:

How does this vignette challenge and/or affirm my discipleship and my commitment to the Gospel and the Church?
How does this vignette challenge and/or affirm the vision and commitment of my parish, Newman Center, or small faith community?

Glimpses of encouragement, reassurance, and hope are an inspiring model of what the Catholic Church means around the world today--and what it can mean in our own lives.

Paperback; 48 pages.
