Shaw gives the reasons why, and provides concise rational explanations for what many have realized through their own experience: there is no substitute for divine forgiveness. An excellent book for those who are already convinced about confession, and want something to give to their friends who are not, yet. An index has been added to this attractive new edition.

Paul of Tarsus $14.95 In Paul of Tarsus, Joseph Holzner weaves together the New Testament’s often sketchy information about the life and mission of St. Paul into a unified and inspiring biography. With a novelist’s ability to take you into a scene and a historian’s rigorous concern for accuracy, he traces this noble Apostle’s life from his early years as a disciple of the celebrated rabbi Gamaliel through his zealous persecution of the Church as a Pharisee, through his miraculous conversion, his tireless efforts to spread the Gospel, and his martyr’s death in imperial Rome. Along the way, he provides instructive background information about the religious and social situation of Paul’s times and the circumstances of his New Testament epistles. Here, then, is a complete and enlightening introduction to the man for whom to live is Christ, to die is gain. Hardcover, Scepter Press - Fall 2003.
