  On February 6, 2023, Kathryn Cunnigham’s eight-year-old son, Dallin, fell from a slide at school and hit his head on the frozen ground. On the evening of the next day, his soul slipped quietly through the veil. 
  Walking through the Valley of the Shadow of Death is Kathryn’s account of what filled those two days: the sorrow, the tears, the decisions, and most importantly, the miracles that came before and after. It is a witness of the awful inevitability of death, that mountain that looms over this valley of mortality. It is a testimony of the loving mercy of our Savior Jesus Christ, the only one who can warm and guide us when that mountain’s oppressive shadow darkens our path. In the days of Kathryn’s deepest distress, she tested the words of our prophet that we should seek and expect miracles and found they were true. 
  This story will help you see miracles in your own life, losses, and strengthen your testimony of the truthfulness of the plan of salvation.

  Hide Karl in plain sight. That was the idea. It was meant to be foolproof. 
   
   
   
  Who would think of finding an Aryan-looking Jewish child in the household of a high-ranking Nazi officer? What could possibly go wrong? 
   
   
   
  When four-year-old Karl, Kara's son, suddenly disappears, Kara's worst fear becomes her painful reality. Has someone seen through her cover? 
   
   
   
  An increasingly frustrating search for the missing boy ensues. Kara is succored by Oskar, an SS officer who would do anything to have Kara's love. His compassion is in stark contrast to his office's macabre nature. 
   
   
   
  As her world is turned upside down, the grim nature of the Third Reich becomes much more apparent to Kara. The rot has eaten deep into many German hearts, even that of her beloved sister Anka. 
   
   
   
  As a fog of fear and evil envelops Kara's life, the hope of a love she had always ached for stirs ever so slightly. 
   
   
   
  How far would one go to get a hold of what they so desperately want? Will Kara see her son ever again?

  Heidi Barr didn't believe in Jesus. No one in her Jewish family did, nor did they want to--especially not her father, who told her that Jesus Christ was the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on humankind. So when Heidi was in a terrible horseback riding accident and died at age 16, Jesus was the last person she expected to see. Yet she did. And then she returned to life. 
   
  This is the incredible true story of Heidi's difficult family life, her sudden death, her unexpectedly loving encounter with Jesus, and her return to life on earth as a person completely and irrevocably changed. This is also the story of Heidi loving her father and mother despite their disbelief of and disagreement with her faith. And this is the gripping, beautiful story of her parents' eventual reconciliation both with Heidi and with God, through the redeeming grace and all-encompassing love of Jesus Christ.

  Thirsting - Quenching Our Soul's...

  What if the longing we feel is a sign of God’s longing for us? Thirsting is a deeply spiritual exploration of a life-changing truth: only when we learn to live in the ache of our thirst instead of running from it will we know the joy of receiving God in every part of our lives.  We may be able to imagine God saving us, using us, and even loving us—but wanting us? Pursuing us? Longing for us? And yet, as spiritual director Strahan Coleman teaches, God’s greatest desire is to commune with us in the depths of our souls.  In Thirsting, Strahan eloquently guides us to:  Acknowledge the God-given thirst within us so we can offer it to God in all its depth  Learn to open up our pain to God so we can experience Him in the midst of our aching  Allow God’s desire for us to open up a whole new experience of communion  You thirst because you are thirsted for. Take a rich, vulnerable journey toward an inner knowing with God as you step over shame, receive His love, and drink Him deeply. The very journey you were made for.  Features bonus author commentary exclusive to the audiobook.

  100 Great Catholic Poems

  Poetry is the language of Catholicism. From the songs of Scripture to the hymns of St. Thomas Aquinas, the Church has always used metaphor and image, meter and rhyme, and the music of language to illuminate and inculcate the faith.  Yet, when it comes to Catholic poetry itself, the song too often remains unsung. Many devout believers recoil from poetry, even when it is deeply Catholic. Many poetry lovers overlook Catholic poetry, even when it is truly great. And passionate readers are left with few resources from which to draw inspiration—even as the number of great Catholic poems continues to grow. This groundbreaking collection is designed to change that. Edited by acclaimed poet and author Sally Read, it includes a carefully curated collection of poetry with brief essays to introduce each selection; a detailed introduction and glossary of poetic terms; and a wide range of poetic voices—from giants like Dante and Shakespeare, to mystical saints like Hildegard of Bingen and John of the Cross, to modern masters like Gerard Manley Hopkins and Oscar Wilde, to contemporary female poets like Denise Levertov and Anne Porter. What emerges is truly universal: an unparalleled collection spanning twenty countries and twenty centuries. Whether Catholic or non-Catholic, a poetry skeptic or a poetry lover, readers will glean from these pages a deepened appreciation of the history of poetry, the life of the Church, and the powerful ways in which each strengthens the other.
