Ronda Chervin Spiritual Friendship: Darkness and Light analyzes the nature and validity of spiritual friendship. Dr. Chervin focuses on the divine dimension, when both friends root their love in God. As human beings we realize our need for love and understanding, for a guiding hand to lead us through the tunnel of spiritual darkness into the presence of the Lord. "Spiritual friendship comes in many forms: brother and sister, parent and child, husband and wife, male and female companions. Both may be single, married, consecrated or any combination of these... The scene of the Last Supper reveals Christ's great desire to share his supernatural secrets with his friends, for friends are to be one heart and soul." This them is echoed by Fathers of the Church such as St. Augustine, and in the writings of great saints, especially Francis de Sales, Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross. Four stages of spiritual friendship: attraction, mutuality, enchantment and union are explained. The author's explanation of emotional rejection brings to her readers the realization that perfect friendship is not found on this earth, yet "the most precious gift of union in spiritual friendship is the foretaste of heaven it gives." This profound book can lead to deeper appreciation of the gift from God that spiritual friendship can be as we journey together back to him.

Everyone hopes to go to heaven, but what do we really know about it? There are thrilling promises in Scripture but not an abundance of detail about the nature of heavenly existence. Another source of insight and hope can be found in the writings of the saints throughout history. What the Saints Said About Heaven: 101 Holy Insights on Everlasting Life combines Scriptural passages, saintly writings, and prayers from the heart, all organized into a daily meditation format. It provides inspiring thoughts on subjects such as: what the Beatific Vision will be like, on being in heaven with loved ones, about Angels, Saints and what we will do in our resurrected bodies. What the Saints Said About Heaven is the ideal gift for every Christian, and serves as an encouraging reminder that each day we spend on earth is a preparation for the ultimate joy of life to come.

Escaping Anxiety along the Road to Spiritual Joy is not a “simple” book of advice, which could turn out to be ineffective because too “pat.” Instead it evolved into something that could actually be a new genre! How so? Well, have you ever seen a book of spiritual advice where confidentiality was not an issue because the directee is a co-author and, what is more, one whose personal journals throughout the years have been published! Our book takes the form of a chronicle of the process employed by a well-trained spiritual director helping a Catholic leader struggle to open herself to the graces that brought her from excessive anxiety along the road to spiritual joy. Our goals are to help readers suffering from excessive anxiety and to provide insights for any mentors of such people such as priests, religious, and lay pastoral ministers.
