  • Your Life Is a Story - GK Chesterton and the Paradox of Freedom - cover

    What is the meaning of life? Do we create meaning or find it? Every person, implicitly or explicitly, has a conception of the meaning of life, which is intimately connected to our view of human freedom. How we answer these questions determines the course of our lives and our fulfillment.  Drawing from the great writer G.K. Chesterton, Brady Stiller identifies four dominant philosophical positions on meaning in our day—determinism, existentialism, skepticism, and nihilism—and evaluates their answers to these ultimate questions, and how they fall short. Evoking Chesterton’s notion of paradox, Stiller proposes a philosophical position more true to reality—namely, that the meaning of life is both objective and subjective at the same time. By viewing life as a story with both determined and undetermined aspects, we are equipped to coauthor our stories with the divine author, discovering our role in the grand drama of creation.

    Examine the Old Testament from within the living tradition of the Catholic Church 
     
    The seventeen New Testament volumes in the Catholic Commentary on Sacred Scripture (CCSS) series have been widely acclaimed. Now the series editors offer readable Old Testament commentaries that integrate the best of contemporary biblical scholarship with the traditional understanding of the Old Testament as prophesying and prefiguring Christ. 
     
    Wisdom of Solomon, by Mark Giszczak, is the first Old Testament volume in the CCSS. The commentary offers a robust introduction to the historical and theological background of this often-overlooked book, the RSV-2CE translation of the biblical text, and a detailed interpretation of each passage. The commentary guides readers in a thorough and faithful study of the Wisdom of Solomon. 
     
    Commentary features include: 
    · Careful exegesis of the biblical text from the perspective of Catholic faith 
    · In the Light of Christ feature that considers how Old Testament passages are fulfilled in Christ and the New Covenant 
    · Reflection and Application sections for daily Christian living 
    · Biblical Background and Living Tradition sidebars that include quotations from Church Fathers, saints, and Church documents 
    · Biblical, Catechism, and Lectionary cross-references 
    · Suggested resources and an index of pastoral subjects 
    · Biblical text from the RSV-2CE 
     
    Written from a standpoint of faith in the Holy Spirit's inspiration of Scripture, CCSS Old Testament commentaries are designed for preaching, teaching, and applying Scripture to Christian life today. Accessibly written yet substantive, they are packed with features that make them particularly useful to those doing ministry in Catholic parishes. 
     
    General editors for the series are Mary Healy (Sacred Heart Major Seminary), Mark Giszczak (Augustine Institute), and Peter S. Williamson (Sacred Heart Major Seminary).

    When we reflect on how we lived for Christ, we might weep on the other side of the celestial gates.To their own detriment, many Christians have emptied the judgment seat of Christ of its meaning, living like they will never meet His knowing gaze. For this they may have tears in heaven.In this provocative book, Dr. Erwin Lutzer argues that remorse in heaven awaits those who don’t live fully for God on earth. Exploring the often-overlooked Scriptures about reward and judgment for Christians, Dr. Lutzer answers questions like:How will believers be judged?Do rewards for faithfulness vary?If heaven is perfect, why do rewards even matter? 
    His answers are immensely practical. Your Eternal Reward will prompt you to live more faithfully, whether in your conduct, your speech, or even your use of money, that you might enjoy heaven all the more.What is sown on earth is reaped in heaven, and Dr. Lutzer will have you taking this truth to heart.
