What does the Bible say? Fifty Biblical Portraits answers this question through a series of meditative studies of some of the central characters of the Old Testament. From Adam and Eve to Abraham and Moses, from Samson and Samuel to Job and Judith, Paul Beauchamp, S.J., presents, through the translation of Peter Rogers, S.J., fifty brief yet patient reflections on the stories of these and other figures whose lives helped shape the history of biblical Israel. Accompanied by the drawings of Pierre Grassignoux, which are themselves renditions of art works of these figures, each meditation or reflection is a portrait in word and image. Fifty Biblical Portraits is thus a unique way to enter into and reflect upon the rich life and history that is the life and history of biblical Israel.

Most Catholics know that Protestant private interpretation of Scripture leads to grave errors. But how many know exactly what those errors are or what the Church really does teach about the Bible? This smoothly written treatment of Catholic Bible basics by a renowned Scripture scholar shows Catholics how-and how not-to read and interpret the Word of God, which, after all, He entrusted to His Church. It also shows how to refute the errors of both Protestants and secular Bible critics.

William Barnaby Faherty

Orion Ruhane, a Jesuit professor at Regis College in Denver, was surprised by a statement made by a lecturer one night in Albuquerque: "I have never met an Indian who was a real Christian." In response, Orion relays the story of his mother, Emily Rising Moon. With captivating prose, William Barnaby Faherty, S.J., tells the life stories of Emily Rising Moon and her grandson Orion Ruhane, descendents of the "True People," or as the French called Potawatomi, the People of the Fire. Daughter of Rising Moon describes the Christian faith among Native American, along with the importance of maintaining cultural traditions such as art and storytelling.

Our world, often more than it realizes, has a crying need for healing. This book tries to discern the problem before something falls apart, or even crashes. Such an aid to all people provides healing, not just for the needed individual, but also for our society and culture. Healing Prayer is a necessary aid to all who guide others into a life of prayer. It is especially meant for spiritual directors and pastors. The first four chapters describe personal experiences of healing mystical prayer from women and men who have reflected upon their time praying through the Spiritual Exercises, a spiritual classic authored by St. Ignatius Loyola. The remaining chapters discuss the implications of healing prayer, practical mysticism, everyday prayer and discernment, Ignatian spiritual direction, and more. With the hope of encouraging regular biblically-based prayer, this work invites both general readers and pastoral leaders into personal reflection that can enhance their understanding of discernment and healing as spiritual gifts.

Deeper Than You Are

Ever wonder why Jesus said, "I come to cast a fire on the earth"? His next words how I wish it were ignited suggest a certain impatience. Nevertheless: the sparks, His sparks, are all around us. For over 50 years, a Jesuit priest known simply as Father Frank preached on the syndicated Catholic Quarter Hour radio program. He selected his favorite talks to be published in a book, Sparks om His Heart. Father Frank passed on to eternal life, but his powerful, timeless messages still reach people nationwide and soon will reach many more globally. Just as Father Frank s radio talks did for half a century, his book aims to bring the faithful closer to grasping the full meaning of Jesus words. In a secular society where religious freedom and Catholic beliefs are constantly challenged it is refreshing to read the inspiring radio talks presented by a renowned Jesuit priest - Father Frank Parrish, S.J.

The Society of Jesus in Ireland, Scotland, and England, 1589–1597: Building the Faith of Saint Peter upon the King of Spain's Monarchy (Catholic Christendom, 1300-1700)

English Catholic voices, once disregarded as merely confessional, are now acknowledged to provide important perspectives on Elizabethan society. Based on extensive archival research, this book builds on previous studies for the first thorough investigation of the Jesuit mission to England during a critical period between the unsuccessful armadas of 1588 and 1597, a period during which the mission was threatened as much by internal Catholic conflict as it was by the crown. To address properly events in England, the study fully engages with the situation in Ireland, Scotland and the continent so as to contextualize the ambitions, methods and effects of the Jesuit mission. For England felt threatened not only by the military might of Spain but also by any assistance King Philip II might provide to Catholics earls and a vindictive James VI in Scotland, powerful nobles in Ireland, and English Catholics at home and abroad. However, it is the particular role of the Jesuits that occupies central place in the narrative, highlighting the way in which the Society of Jesus typified all that Elizabethan England feared about the Church of Rome. Through an exhaustive study of the many facets of the Jesuit mission to England between 1589 and 1597, this book provides a fascinating insight not only into Catholic efforts to bring England back into the Roman Church, but also the simmering tensions, and disagreements on how this should be achieved, as well as debates concerning the very nature and structure of English Catholicism. A second volume, The Society of Jesus in Ireland, Scotland, and England, 1598-1606 will continue the story through to the early years of James VI & I's reign.
