Campbell Examines the traditions in Genesis 1-11 about humanity; Israel’s traditions about its ancestors; Israel’s traditions about Mount Sinai; enigma and the Book of Joshua; and reality and the book of Samuel. The author’s presentation is well researched, innovative and up-to-date and pedagogically clear and brings insight and life into texts that have long been viewed as primitive and outmoded.

MEETING JESUS IN THE SACRAMENTS Michael Amodei\| Expresses concrete ways for understanding the sacraments and benefiting from their graces. The text is organized around the traditional definition of sacrament from the Catechism of the Catholic Church. This definition is clarified by arranging the chapters around four dimensions of the sacrament: memorial, celebration, communion, and transformation. Through regular placement of "For Reflection" panels and assignments that focus on deeper research, developing a personal and communal prayer life, and active transformation of self and society, this text allows students to come to know Jesus through participation in the sacraments and the grace of their effects.		PUTTING ON THE HEART OF CHRIST How the Spiritual Exercises Invite Us to a Virtuous Life Gerald M. Fagin, SJ Offers a fresh look at the Spiritual Exercises through the lens of virtue ethics. In doing so, the book encourages us to become the kind of person whose very life is in tune with the heart of Christ. Fr. Fagin covers 15 virtues throughout the book, including gratitude, reverence, and forgiveness. Each is explained within the context of the Spiritual Exercises and the life of St. Ignatius, as well as within the context of Scripture. Ultimately, Fr. Fagin uses virtue ethics along with the Spiritual Exercises to help us think beyond. What has God called me and to think quite specifically in terms of Who has God called me to be.

APOSTOLIC MINISTRY The sacrament of Holy Orders Rinaldo Ronzani, mccj Episcopate, presbyterate and diaconate are at the service of the common priesthood of the faithful who are nourished by the Word of God, strengthened by the sacraments and shepherded by the leadership and pastoral care of the ordained ministers.

THE GRACE OF ARS Reflections on the Life and Spirituality of St. John Vianney Fr. Frederick L. Miller Priests and seminarians who wish to strengthen their commitment to the priesthood as well as men who are discerning the call of Christ in their lives will be inspired by reflection on the life and vocation of the great Curé of Ars. Based on his years of personal experience at Ars, and the impact that the holy Curé has had on men who go there to learn from his inspiring life and work, this book is the distillation of wisdom and grace that St. John Vianney has passed on to his brother priests.		MEETING JESUS AND FOLLOWING HIM A Retreat Given to pope Benedict XVI and papal Household Francis Cardinal Arinze Drawn from his retreat talks given to Pope Benedict and his associates at the papal household, Cardinal Arinze offers inspiring spiritual exercises focusing on the meaning of the priestly life. “The red thread which will run through all these meditations,” writes Cardinal Arinze, “is the image of the priest who, called by Jesus, meets him, follows him and seeks each day to become a better disciple.”
