  Unlock the secret of your personality and learn how to be a better spouse, parent, friend, & Christian! 
  All of us are born with distinct personality traits. Some of us live for crowds and parties; others seek solitude and time for quiet reflection. Some of us are naturally pushy, while others are content just to get along. We don't pick and choose these traits; they're just part of the way we're made. 
  For in the womb God doesn't merely mold our body; He also gives us the temperament that, all our days, colors our understanding, guides our choices, and serves as the foundation of our moral and spiritual life. 
  Ancient philosophers identified four basic temperaments, and over the centuries, countless wise souls have used these four to understand human nature. Now comes The Temperament God Gave You, the first Catholic book on the subject in 70 years. Here veteran Catholic counselor Art Bennett and his wife Laraine provide an accessible synthesis of classical wisdom, modern counseling science, and Catholic spirituality: a rich understanding of the temperaments and what they mean for you and for your family. 
  Drawing on decades of study, prayer, and practical experience, Art and Laraine show you how to identify your own temperament and use it to become what God is calling you to be: a loving spouse, an effective parent, and a good friend. Best of all, they give you a Catholic understanding of the four temperaments that will bring you closer to God and help you discover the path to holiness that's right for you. 
  Peace. Happiness. Holiness. 
  You'll find yourself growing in each of these qualities as you come to understand, and learn to use as you should, the temperament God gave you.

  Victory Over Vice

  Fulton J. Sheen

  Victory Over Vice (1939) is one of several books by Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen exploring the Seven Last Words of Christ during His Crucifixion. In this short work, Archbishop Sheen considers each of the final utterances of Christ from the perspective of one of the capital sins. He demonstrates how each phrase proves the purity of Jesus Christ, and uses each as an instruction on how we, too, can overcome these mortal vices. Archbishop Sheen is careful to define each of these sins and to explain when they cross from an acceptable behavior or trait into a dangerous failing. Envy, for example, can be justified and even helpful when it “inspires us to emulate good example and to progress with those who are our betters.” But it becomes a sin when it “is a willful grieving at another’s good, either spiritual or temporal, for the reason that it seems to diminish our own good.”Throughout each of the Seven Words, Christ shows us how we should behave when faced with sin in ourselves or in others. When he is faced with the anger of the masses, he begs, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” When faced with the thief to the left who envies His Power, he instead turns to the thief on the right and pronounces that “This day thou shalt be with me in paradise.” When faced with the pride of those who have turned from God, “He permits Himself to feel God-lessness and it broke His heart in the saddest of all cries: ‘My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?’”Faced with anger, envy, lust, pride, gluttony, sloth, and covetousness leading up to and throughout His death, Christ shows us how to respond to each in others and in ourselves. It is a simple matter to preach what we should do to avoid sin. But to see how Christ responded when faced with it, and avoided it in His own purity, is a true gift.

  5 Classic Lectures from J. I. Packer Defending the Truth of the Gospel against Humanism, Universalism, and More
  Christians today confront complex opposition to the gospel from intellectuals, skeptics, and pluralists who deny the divinity of Christ. But these are not new issues; the first-century church encountered similar challenges to their faith. How did the apostle Paul address these questions and doubts to effectively spread God's word?
  In these lectures, originally given at Reformed Bible College and Moore College in 1978, renowned theologian J. I. Packer tackles common objections to Christianity—including secular humanism, pluralism, and universalism. By studying the evangelistic efforts of Paul and the early church, Packer skillfully preaches the glory of Christ crucified and helps students, pastors, and believers share their faith in an age of skepticism.
  
  - 5 Vintage Lectures: Covering topics including Jesus's humanity and divinity, substitutionary atonement, and the truth of Christ's resurrection
  - A Great Resource for Pastors and Thoughtful Christians: Provides gospel-centered answers to different worldviews including universalism, secular humanism, and pluralism
  - From J. I. Packer: Prolific theologian and bestselling author of Knowing God

  WICCA CANDLE SPELLS 
  Wicca is a modern pagan belief system—less organized religion, more intimate spirituality—whose practitioners use ceremonial magick to manifest their will on Earth. These practitioners (regardless of gender) call themselves witches. 
  Wiccan magick focuses heavily on the different elements: Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire. Candles are powerful in magick largely because they so perfectly illustrate and call upon the element of fire—in a size and shape witches can easily handle on our altars! Fire as an element is all about action, which makes candle magick a powerful way for witches to see our manifestations at work. 
  This book focuses primarily on candle magick, and along with giving you a detailed explanation of the history and core tenets of Wicca, will provide you with a wide variety of candle spells to try out for yourself. Included are love spells, healing spells, protection spells, abundance spells, and more!
