"My Life on the Rock", the dramatic conversion story of Jeff Cavins, (apologist and host of EWTN's "Life on the Rock"), is the true and bittersweet story of an emotional and spiritual search for peace in a chaotic world. 
Jeff was a "rebel - and then he became a rebel for Jesus. This moving account of his journey, told in his own words, is sometimes whimsical, sometimes serious, but never boring (just like Jeff). You won't want to put this book down. 
Jeff's story recounts his early Catholic upbringing, rejection of the Faith, ordination as a Protestant minister, and finally his return home to the Catholic Church. It definitely was not a smooth trip: he went toe-to-toe with this own father and three Bishops in his search for truth. 
So, if you are a Catholic searching for answers, or if you have a friend who has fallen away from the Church, read Jeff's book - he's been there.

When You Suffer: Biblical Keys for Hope and Understanding

To be human is to suffer—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. In addition to our own suffering, we also encounter the suffering of those around us. While the world of medicine attempts to relieve suffering and the media tries to sell us on a life without pain, only the Church offers the perspective that suffering has meaning. St. John Paul II said that suffering without meaning can lead to despair, but if we can attach meaning to our suffering, we are capable of going through anything. When You Suffer is a refreshing look at the mystery of pain and suffering and how to find meaning and even joy in the midst of it. Jeff Cavins discusses why we suffer and how our suffering can draw us closer to God. He explains that suffering is the greatest opportunity to love as Christ loves and how, by “offering up” our suffering, we join in Christ’s mission to redeem the world.

In I’m Not Being Fed: Discovering the Food that Satisfies the Soul, Jeff Cavins explores the reasons why many Catholics have left the Church for evangelical Christianity. He responds to the most commonly-heard complaint of these former Catholics — that they simply were not being "fed" by their Church and that they longed for a more personal, "spiritually nourishing" relationship with Jesus. 
Chapters include: • I Left the King’s Table • Options in the Desert • Who Do You Say Jesus Is? • The Body that Feeds the Body • True Food for Malnourished Faith 
After presenting the story of his own return to the Church, Cavins builds a case for the unique character of the Catholic Church as the true Church of Christ. Using the sixth chapter of John’s gospel as a foundation, Jeff eloquently shows the biblical basis of the Catholic belief in the Eucharist.

The T3 Leader's guide is essential to run an effective Bible study. It includes all lesson plans, quiz answers, and much more to help you run a fruitful and engaging study. Each facilitator/group leader should have a guide. About T3: If you re involved in Catholic education or youth ministry, you know the response you get when you say to your teens, We re going to study the Bible! Eyes roll, and heavy sighs and yawns follow. So how do we slow down a technology-obsessed, media-savvy generation long enough to re-introduce them to the written word, much less the Word of God?
