  Winner of a first-place award for popular presentation of the faith and second-place in pastoral ministry, catechetical resource from the Catholic Media Association. 
   
   
   
  Many Catholics don't believe that Jesus is really present in the Eucharist. Rather, they see the bread and wine of Holy Communion as mere symbols of Christ's body and blood. Is that disbelief just a misunderstanding or is it a blatant rejection of one of the central beliefs of the faith? 
   
   
   
  In Real Presence, University of Notre Dame theologian Timothy P. O'Malley clears up the confusion and shows you how to learn to love God and neighbor through a deeper understanding of the doctrine of real presence. 
   
   
   
  A 2019 study by the Pew Research Center found that almost seventy percent of Catholics don't believe that Jesus is really present in the Eucharist. 
   
   
   
  O'Malley offers a concise introduction to Catholic teaching on real presence and transubstantiation through a biblical, theological, and spiritual account of these doctrines from the early Church to today. He also explores how real presence enables us to see the vulnerability of human life and the dignity of all flesh and blood.

  “How does that make you feel?" 
  It's a therapy joke punchline, but do therapists really ask every client that question? Yes. The not-so-funny part is how few people can answer it. For many of us, thinking is simply our default mode as we try to build a safe space for ourselves within the confines of our mind. After all, feelings can't be trusted, right? Feelings are unreliable reactions, right? It's dangerous to be emotional, right? 
  The mind has been enthroned as our source of control. The subjugation of feeling is celebrated while tears are equated with weakness, especially in men. The demand to separate ourselves from emotion has left most of us with an extremely limited emotional vocabulary as well as an inability to properly identify and process what we are feeling. We are getting this whole thing wrong. 
  In The Garden Within, Dr. Anita Phillips informs and encourages us to care for our hearts so we can understand our emotions and live free and empowered. The heart has always been our rightful guide; it's time we start listening to it. 
  In this six-week study, you will:Define man's original design as from God's heart.Learn to elevate your heart to a position of authority.Recognize the lies you believe surrounding emotions and the heart.Identify personal trauma and learn ways to process through it.Realize the daily power of faith, hope, and love. 
  Coordinating study guide available separately.  
  The Audio Bible Studies series provides a unique audio learning experience.

These sessions will reflect the ambiance of the unique recording locations, immersing the listener into the teaching.

  Healing Way The: A Path to...

  In The Healing Way I share with you my journey through a life burdened by abuse. My hope is that my journey and all that I learned will be a catalyst for your own growth. If you are read¬ing this, I know you have the desire to live without the pain of abuse. You have the same desire to live a healthy life that everyone has. I also know you have more courage within than you think. And somehow the courage will give you the ability to take the risks necessary to change your life. By sharing my journey and all the things I learned, I want to bring you hope. Hope that you can recover from abuse and live a healthy, functional life. In this book, I write about behaviors and attitudes which will help you become a better person. I am not writing about being a good person. Nor am I saying you will become a person who meets others’ expecta¬tions. Becoming a better person means to me, and I hope it begins to mean to you:a person who is willing to learn new behaviors, become more self-aware, and see other perspectives of the pain deep within. The Healing Way talks about the complexities and dynamics of abuse. The behaviors and practices to learn to become a health¬ier person. Specific steps for healing and simple, human knowledge which we rarely learn from parents, teachers, or peers. I had to author this book, because I have experienced and seen the pain abuse brings to individ¬uals, our culture, and our world. From my heart, I hope The Healing Way will help you live a more fulfilling life. Rev. Lillie Henley

  Salvation & Godly Rule

  R. J. Rushdoony

  Man was called to dominion (Gen. 1:26-28), and to establish his reign over the world under God. By his fall, man introduced the reign of death into the world, and as long as he remains in the Fall, sin reigns in him unto death, both in time and eternity. Christ, however, by His grace and the gift of righteousness, enables man to reign in this world, and to reign through righteousness in time and eternity. 
  Salvation means reigning. As formerly rebellious slaves, we are now established in kingship, and described as "more than conquerors" (Rom. 8:37) in Christ, because we are also kings. 
  The full meaning of salvation cannot be understood apart from the fact of reigning. The multiple use of the word "reign" in Romans makes clear the centrality of reigning in the doctrine of redemption. To defer this fact to another world is a false separation into two alien realms - one (the material) surrendered to one god, and the other (spiritual) reserved for the other god. Neither is Biblical. 
  St. Paul is emphatic: we "reign in life." The Biblical doctrine of salvation requires it.
