Synopsis

Winner of a 2025 Excellence in Publishing Award from the Association of Catholic Publishers: Resources for Ministry (Third Place [tie]). Winner of a 2025 CMA Book Award from the Catholic Media Association: Religious Book Series (Second Place).Catholic theologian Ann M. Garrido—author of the bestselling and award-winning book Redeeming Administration—continues her work on Christian leadership by examining power not as a manipulative force in short supply but as Jesus understood it: an abundant good meant to be shared and put to use for the sake of harmony and holiness.In Redeeming Power, Garrido helps you develop a spirituality of power by considering the skills and personal qualities that will enable a healthy and holy use of power in your role as one who leads. Garrido explores key passages from the creation stories of Genesis where we find the roots of how Jesus understood power. She shows how God shares divine power with all humans and calls leaders to specific ways of exercising power that will benefit the people and institutions they serve.Joining these biblical lessons to her personal experience, and with help from nearly forty interviews of leaders in nonprofit organizations, business, and the Church, Garrido offers insight and guidance into many of the challenges contemporary leaders face, including how toset—and adapt as needed—healthy boundaries for yourself and within the institution or community you serve,honor confidentiality while seeking to be transparent,share power with others,use one’s power on behalf of justice,stay rooted in the everyday, hands-on work of those you serve, anddiscern why and organize how you spend time and energy in order to bring balance to your life and work.Garrido provides you with holy companions for your leadership journey, including Maria Montessori, Nicholas Black Elk, Benedict of Nursia, Kaloli Lwanga, Thea Bowman, Hildegard of Bingen, Mark Ji Tianxiang, Margaret of Scotland, and Jean Baptiste de La Salle.Questions for self-reflection or group study are included at the end of each chapter and a companion discussion guide is available to download for free at avemariapress.com.

The Gospel of Matthew, perhaps the most detailed Biblical account of the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, begins with a genealogy reaching back to Abraham. This first book of the New Testament includes familiar passages such as the Sermon on the Mount (chapters 5-7), the Lord's Prayer, many of the healings and parables also found in the other three gospels, and the Great Commission (chapter 28), as well as deeply sobering words about the call to follow Jesus. The readings are taken from the World English Bible, and the music from original songs and hymn arrangements which can be found on the Paraclete Collaborative Albums page (https://www.paracletecollaborative.com/albums).

Kilteegan Bridge, Ireland 1974 For each member of the O’Sullivan family there are turbulent times ahead. Eli’s need to do his best by his patients is a cause for a bitter divide in the community. Emmet seems hell bent on going down a path in life his parents dread but they’re unable to stop him. Jack’s life and liberty are in grave peril as his secret faces exposure, while Emily’s troubles are, it seems only just beginning with the return of someone she would much rather had disappeared forever. And Maria must decide, is blood really thicker than water, and should family always come first, no matter the cost? In More Harm than Good, the Kilteegan Bridge Series continues, as the modernity of the 1970’s challenges Irish traditional ways, and generations clash, sometimes with deadly consequences.

What is gratitude? Where does it come from? Why do we need it? How does it change us? 
 
 
 
In Gratitude, award-winning author Cornelius Plantinga explores these questions and more. Celebrating the role of gratitude in our lives, Plantinga makes the case that it is the very key to understanding our relationships with one another, the world around us, and God. 
 
 
 
Going deeper than mindfulness and positive psychology, Plantinga explores gratitude in a theologically informed and pastorally sensitive way. He shows that being grateful to God is not only our righteous duty but also the single best predictor of our well-being. Gratitude makes us more faithful, joyful, generous, healthy, and content. 
 
 
 
While it's easy to focus on the suffering, fear, and worries that surround us, Plantinga places all of that in the larger context of provision, abundance, and delight, empowering listeners to experience the deep joy of giving thanks.
