Summary

;Let us leave a saint to write the life of a saint.;—St. Thomas AquinasIn the annals of Christian sanctity, Dominic Savio emerges as a luminary, guiding the path of the faithful with the light of his youthful innocence and zeal. St. John Bosco, the venerable servant of God, chronicles the life of his spiritual son, offering us a window into a soul graced with divine favor.Born to Italian peasants, Dominics journey mirrored that of St. Pius X, sharing humble origins, a love for learning, and a profound Eucharistic devotion. Notably, Dominics sanctity allowed him early Communion, aligning with the future Popes vision, making him a herald of ecclesiastical reforms and a patron for young communicants.This book, a blend of personal testament and historical account, honors a boy who lived merely fifteen years but whose spiritual maturity transcended time. Dominics vision, his devotion, and his love for God make his life not just an inspiring tale but a clarion call for all—to aspire to sainthood in the ordinary.Let the life of ;the Schoolboy Saint; inspire you, as it has so many, to embrace a faith that acts, to follow a sanctity that lives, and to pray for a soul whose love for God knew no bounds.

    In the battle for our children’s souls, Catholic parents have a key advantage over the world: our children were made for heaven. God willed us to exist now—in a world that celebrates sin as virtue and punishes Christians as “haters”—as part of His merciful plan. Unbreakable helps Catholic parents raise strong children able to resist the soul-endangering temptation to “get along” to “get ahead” in the world. 
    Recognizing that what occupies our children’s imagination is of profound importance, this book tells the stories of four of the Church’s most courageous saints—Saint Joan of Arc, Saint José Luis Sánchez del Río, Blessed Jerzy Popiełuszko, and Saint Teresa of Calcutta—and ten saints who inspired them during their lives, including Saint Michael the Archangel, Saint Juan Diego, Saint Maximilian Kolbe, and Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, among others. Written for modern parents, Unbreakable continues a long tradition of helping families build a Christ-centered culture in their homes that can be passed on for generations.  
    In God’s abundant generosity, He confers on all His children the power to know, love, and serve Him. But He requires our participation. In order to spend eternity with Him in heaven, we must answer His call now.

    In 1888 Mary Edwards Gerritse is a witty and confident young woman who spends as much time as possible outdoors on the rugged Oregon coast where she and her husband, John, have settled. The two are a formidable pair who are working hard to prove their homesteading claim and build a family. But as Mary faces struggles of young motherhood and questions about her family of origin, she realizes that life is far from the adventure she imagined it would be. 
      
    After losing the baby she's carrying, grief threatens Mary, but she finds an unconventional way to bring joy back into her life—by taking over a treacherous postal route. As Mary becomes the first female mail carrier to traverse the cliff-hugging mountain trails and remote Crying Sands Beach, with its changing tides and sudden squalls, she recaptures the spark she lost and discovers that a life without risk is no life at all.

    As Christians we are presently vulnerable. Every day our ancient foe the devil is seeking to invade our souls with his voice of doom, and many of us are susceptible to this voice, because we haven’t ever been taught how to shoo it away — how to resist it. As Christians we are both designed and empowered to be doom-proofed — to be able to repel all the fiery darts of bad news, gloomy projections, and portending destruction. And this doom-proofing is called bravery. It starts on the inside of a believer and works its way out unto valiant actions, so that the Christian can face any crisis — big or small — with a smile, a song, and stunning composure. 
    This is an Ellerslie Live Teaching Series from Eric and Leslie Ludy. When you purchase this audiobook, it comes with an accompanying PDF of the message notes.

    Whether at home or abroad, communicating with people of other cultures is difficult. It requires new ways of thinking and interpreting the world. When conflict arises, as it often does, the issues become even more confusing. Without a good understanding of how different cultures handle conflict, our best intentions may only make matters worse.
    With a particular focus on Asian and Hispanic cultures (at home and around the world) and on African culture, Duane Elmer walks readers through various types of conflict and shows how they can be handled effectively and appropriately. Elmer gives numerous stories and examples from his experience and from others' to show how handling conflict well builds solid relationships. With an eye out for biblical principles, he looks at a variety of sticky questions in Scripture. This is a book not just of theory but of practical models of conflict resolution.
    Pastors, evangelists, business people, missionaries, students--anyone who wants to communicate more effectively with neighbors and colleagues--will find this book immensely helpful.
