  The comforting bid of Jesus to the worn and weary soul:Come to me, all who are weary, and I will give you rest.You’re tired. Tired in your body. Tired in your soul. At times, life feels hard, chaotic, or just mind-numbingly ordinary. But what if our souls could find rest even amid the onslaught of chaos and confusion? What if we could exchange that heavy dread and disquiet for a peace that passes understanding? Author Sarah J. Hauser believes that while our outward lives are falling apart, our inner lives can grow stronger. All Who are Weary was born out of Sarah’s own story—her depression, grief, and tears. Sarah, no stranger to weariness, invites us to join her in bringing our heavy burdens to Jesus and taking the light burden He offers instead.Readers find deep, lasting rest by throwing off nine soul-crushing burdens: worthlessness, condemnation, worry, self-sufficiency, insecurity, comparison, perfectionism, insignificance, and despair. We were never meant to carry these things in the first place. Christians who feel stuck, strained, and discouraged will be equipped with Scripture and encouraged by personal stories that help us identify the burdens we need to release. Because of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we can live with joy and endurance, come what may. If you’re craving rest for your soul, Jesus invites you to come to Him, because only there can true rest be found.

   “Two prestigious scholars . . . serve up a gourmet banquet that blends the flavors of scripture and ethics without losing the distinctive tastes of each.” —Richard M. Gula, professor of moral theology, Franciscan School of Theology/Graduate Theological Union In Paul and Virtue Ethics, Daniel Harrington and James Keenan build upon their successful collaboration Jesus and Virtue Ethics to discuss the apostle Paul's teachings as a guide to interpret theology and ethics today. Examining Paul's writings, the authors investigate what they teach about the basic questions of virtue ethics: Who am I? Who do I want to become? And how do I get there? Their intent is not to provide stringent rules, but to awaken discovery and encourage dialogue. The book first considers the concept of virtue ethics, an approach to ethics that emphasizes moral character, and Paul’s ethics in particular. Next, the authors focus on the virtues of faith, love/charity, and hope as treated by Paul and Thomas Aquinas. Closing the book with reflections on the roles of other virtues (and vices) in individual and communal Christian life, the authors discuss various issues in social ethics and sexual morality as they are dealt with in Paul and in Christian virtue ethics today.   “One could not ask for better guides [than] Harrington and Keenan.” ―Theological Studies “Bringing the moral teaching of Paul and contemporary virtue ethics into dialogue with each other, Harrington and Keenan have done what others have only spoken about.” —Frank J. Matera, The Andrew-Kelly-Ryan Professor of Biblical Studies, The Catholic University of America “[A] deeply learned yet broadly accessible volume. . . . [a] perfect book for an introductory course in theological ethics.” —M. Cathleen Kaveny, Darald and Juliet Libby Professor of Law and Theology, Boston College

  Emoting is a chapbook that explores the delicate and often overwhelming nature of human emotions through a series of evocative, introspective short-form narratives and poems. Each piece captures a fleeting moment, a spark of feeling, or an emotional truth that lingers long after the reader has read the words. From joy to sorrow, from rage to quiet contemplation, the chapbook delves deep into the nuances of the emotional landscape, challenging readers to confront their own complex inner worlds. 
    
  With stark imagery and raw, unfiltered language, Emoting invites readers to experience the vulnerability and power that comes with expressing the things we often leave unspoken. Through fragmented narratives and moments of stillness, piece after piece illuminates the ways in which we process and navigate our feelings in a world that sometimes demands we keep them hidden. 
    
  At its core, Emoting is a celebration of the emotional spectrum — reminding us that our emotions, however messy or difficult, are what make us human. Each narrative and poem serves as an intimate exploration of what it means to feel deeply and to allow those feelings to shape our lives, even in their most chaotic and untamed forms.

  Building an oasis of hope in a desert of despair 
  AT 37, Irene Gleeson was a broken woman. Her marriage had crumbled, her children were out of control, and she had spiralled into a deep depression.Her life changed when she walked into a small beachside church and encountered God.Ten years later, she was on a plane bound for northern Uganda to rescue war-affected children.Armed with nothing but faith, courage and dogged determination, Irene sold her beach home, said goodbye to family, and hauled her tiny caravan 13,000 kilometres to Kitgum, an isolated community besieged by Joseph Kony and his brutal rebel group, the LRA.Under the shade of a mango tree,"Mama Irene" gathered the children of war and taught them to sing, and read and write by scratching letters in the dust. And then, for the next twenty two years together with the locals, forged a ministry that would transform the lives of thousands of former child soldiers, a work now applauded by the rest of the world. Heart of a Lioness bursts with drama and glows with miracles, a tale that brings Africa's culture and characters to life, capturing the horrors of war, the heartache of poverty, and the healing power of God's love through one woman. This story will captivate your imagination, challenge your beliefs and demonstrate that, regardless of who you are, or where you've come from, with God, anything is possible.
