Synopsis

In 'The Lives of the Fathers, Martyrs, and Other Principal Saints. January, February, March,' Alban Butler presents a meticulously researched compilation of hagiographies that delve into the lives of significant Christian figures from the early Church, martyrs, and saints whose legacies shaped Catholic tradition. Written in an engaging and reverent style typical of 18th-century devotional literature, Butler's work combines historical detail with spiritual reflection. The book serves not only as a devotional text but also as a crucial record of early Christian faith and martyrdom, contextualizing each figure within the socio-political milieu of their time. Alban Butler, an English priest and hagiographer, was deeply influenced by the Counter-Reformation and the Catholic revival in England. His passion for uncovering the stories of saints was propelled by his desire to inspire devotion and resilience among believers in a time of religious turmoil. Butler'Äôs dedication to this work reflects his own struggles and aspirations for spiritual renewal in the Church, offering rich insights into the faith and virtues of those he profiles. This work is highly recommended for those interested in ecclesiastical history, hagiography, or seeking spiritual encouragement. Butler'Äôs vivid portrayals and thorough research will resonate with readers as they explore the depths of faith represented in the lives of these exemplary saints.

    Pop culture and psychobabble tell us to make ourselves the center of the universe in order to be happy. Churches have communicated the false idea that God exists to give us all that we selfishly want. In this book, Max Lucado reminds us that it's not about us, it's all about God. It is through this shift in thinking that we can truly live an unburdened, happy life.

    If your marriage didn’t work out once, marry the same person again … said no couple ever. 
    Piper 
    Here’s the scoop—I married my former study partner for money’s sake. I promise you it’s not as bad as it sounds. Peter needed a wife in order to receive his dad’s inheritance … so I did what any friend would do, I said yes. 
    Peter 
    A marriage on paper—that’s all the guts I had to ask for. Of course, if Piper had wanted more, I would’ve gladly given her myself and all the puppies and chocolate in the world. Instead, I surprised her by paying off her med school bills, then took my broken heart and moved to another country. 
    Piper 
    So, here’s the part that does sound bad. I got pregnant (the details of our wedding night are a bit fuzzy). His mom hated me (still does). And we left our baby to be raised by her over-the-top grandmother when we parted ways. I told you it was bad. But now Peter’s reaching out to me and it’s making me wonder ... 
    Peter 
    Do I have regrets? Absolutely! Turning forty made me realize I can't waste a chance to make things right with the two most important women in my life. I’ve reunited with our daughter and now it’s time to win over Piper. If only she wasn’t already engaged to another man ... 
    The Fab Forties series was written by an over-40 author with readers of all ages in mind. This rom-com is guaranteed to tickle your funny bone and help you escape reality. So, sit back, relax, and be prepared to laugh!

And the second is karuna – capacity to understand the suffering and help remove and transform it – compassion. Mudita is the third element – joy – your joy is her joy, her joy is our joy.

    "Are you sure you won't consider a reduction?"
    
    The monitor beeps.
    
    
    Christin Rosa is propped up on pillows in a hospital maternity ward. She's nearly nine months pregnant and about to give birth to twins, yet she knows that one of them likely won't survive. She and her husband, Mauricio, have been advised to reduce . . . to terminate . . . to abort "Baby A"—the tiny boy inside her—but the Rosas have decided to fight for their son's life.
    
    
    The last several months have felt like waiting for a roller coaster ride to begin, and now the Rosas are preparing for the inevitable plunge they have no way of stopping. They didn't choose to board this ride, and they would certainly get off if they could, but they trust that God is with them. Christin and Mauricio have no choice but to cling tightly to their faith and to each other, uttering desperate prayers for help and hoping that somehow they'll make it through.
    
    This testimony of trusting God and overcoming medical odds includes:
    - A real-life photo insert featuring the Rosa family,
    - inspirational, true story-driven discipleship content
    - practical life-affirming resources and guidance regarding the issue of abortion and the value of human life
    Now they're headed to the operating room, where a team of medical specialists is standing by. It's time to have these babies. Let the ride begin.
