It can be accurately argued that the nature of the entire world-order was irrevocably upended by Jesus' parables. Christ's message, in familiar imagery, began to shred the complex social divides that had existed for centuries. That, author Denis McBride asserts, is the reason that they deserve close scrutiny. The Parables of Jesus helps the average reader uncover the rich details--deeply woven into the fabric of the stories Jesus told--that reveal much about Christ, his values, and his unique social viewpoint. 196-page paperback; 7-1/4 x 9-1/4

In today's culture, waiting is never an easy endeavor. In our push-button world of drive-through windows, fast Internet connections, and television on demand, we often overlook the spiritual value of patience and anticipation in favor of a quest for instant gratification and immediate results. This book explores waiting for God as a process essential to the spiritual life. Through the scriptural stories of Abraham and Sarah, Elizabeth and Zechariah, Simeon and Anna, through Jesus' stoic waiting at his Passion and Death, through the anxious experience of loss by the disciples after Cavalry, and the anticipation of the Christian community for the arrival of the Spirit on Pentecost, Denis McBride shows how we are a people of hope destined to wait in faith and love for our redemption. Waiting on God is an antidote for the anxiety, frustration, and isolation of a society often severed from a belief in God's promises. It gives reason for courage in the face of despair and desperation.

Stunning portrayals of each mystery of the rosary by master artists make this book delightfully unique and add new perspectives to each familiar Scripture story. The author invites us to place ourselves in each scene, imagining the people, places, sights, sounds, and emotions present at each event. His pastorally styled meditations urge us to go beyond simple observance, to enter the beauty and complexity of each drama and, ultimately, to connect our lives, including our current joys or challenges, to the lives of Jesus and Mary.

Fr Denis McBride C.Ss.R. reflectively guides us along the way of the cross. He contrasts the beauty and solemn simplicity of the more traditional Stations by artist Curd Lessig with modern images that challenge us to link Jesus story to the struggle of our everyday life. Through its rich array of scripture passages, paintings, poetry, prayers, photographs and reflections, The Stations of the Cross then and now becomes a companion not only on our Lenten journey but throughout the year: suffering is not limited to one liturgical season. Whether we walk in solitude or with others, this book translates the passion of Jesus into our own life and times.

Stations of the Cross: Then and Now

Using the story medium and living characters from the pages of scripture, the author skillfully peels away our accumulated confusion and weaves a telling portrait of Jesus. These are touching, human stories that transcend time and place; stories that bring us in contact with the man of Galilee in his own time while engaging us in our own present moment.
