FULL OF GRACE
Miraculous Stories of Healing and Conversion through Mary's Intercession

Christine Watkins

Watkins tells her own dramatic story of miraculous healing and conversion to Catholicism, along with the stories of five others, including a homeless drug addict, a stripper, and a modern-day hero.

Each story is accompanied by scripture, prayer, and discussion exercises designed to remind readers of Mary of Medjugorje's intercession on their behalf and God's personal love for them. Ideal for parish faith-sharing groups, addiction recovery support groups, and for parish retreats.

JESUS OUR PRIESTS
A Christian Approach to the Priesthood of Christ

Gerald O'Collins, SJ and Michael Keenan Jones

Written in accessible language to the highest scholarly standards
Extensive cross referencing allows the reader to easily follow the basis for the discussion.

In recent years many books have been published in the area of Christology (who is Jesus in himself?) and soteriology (what did he do as Saviour?).
A number of notable, ecumenical documents on Christian ministry have also appeared. But in all this literature there is surprisingly little reflection on the priesthood of Christ, from which derives all ministry, whether the priesthood of all the faithful or ministerial priesthood.

This present work aims to fill that gap by examining, in the light of the Scriptures and the Christian tradition, what it means to call Christ our priest.

THE CATHOLIC COMPANION TO JESUS

Mary Kathleen Glavich

Is an in-depth exploration of the life, times, and legacy of Jesus of Nazareth.
The Catholic Companion to Jesus delves into the prophets who preached of Christ's coming, the biblical and historical record of the life of Jesus, his ministry and miracles, his death and resurrection, the legacy he left to all of humanity, his role in modern life, and the second coming of the Messiah.
This book is intended to be a catalyst for anyone who wishes to know Jesus better.

The best and most effective way to know someone is by personal interaction, and this book offers practical ideas through which readers can open their lives to the one the prophet Isaiah foretold would be called "Emmanuel," which means "God with us."

TEACHING CATECHISTS TO PRAY

Mary Kathleen Glavich, SND

This comprehensive guide and its companion, The Catholic Way to Pray, answer the prayers of many catechetical leaders across the country. “How in the world,” they ask, “do we offer catechists a way to pray as Catholic adults?

How do we hand on to them the many beautiful traditions of prayer embraced by our Church? How do we help them “teach” prayer?
Here Kathleen Glavich addresses these questions and more by focusing on the nature of prayer, what Jesus taught about it, when and how to pray, and difficulties in prayer. She offers a variety of prayer forms like praying with Scripture, the Eucharist, the Divine Office, Lectio Divina, meditation, praying with mantras, the rosary, the Stations of the Cross and much more.

12 FUN AND EASY PLAYS FOR MIDDLE SCHOOLERS

Connie Clark

If you teach middle-schoolers, you know they’re not easy to please.
This is how the author felt, and she knew there had to be a better way to share faith with middle schoolers—something that included learning, laughter and respect. Thus she developed 12 Easy (and Humorous) Plays for Middle Schoolers, a format that gives pre-teens the opportunity to “stand up, stretch out, talk, whisper, and even shout.”

And while these Scripture and saint-based plays mix laughs with learning, they never dilute the sacred truths of the Catholic faith.
This unique resource is packed with prop lists, lesson plans, and prayers and it makes your job easier too. Everything you need is here, so that with very little planning, you can create powerful lessons that are memorable and fun.
