Sinossi

The Confessions of Saint Augustine by Saint Augustine Confessions (Latin: Confessiones) is an autobiographical work by Saint Augustine of Hippo, consisting of 13 books written in Latin between AD 397 and 400.

The work outlines Saint Augustine's sinful youth and his conversion to Christianity. Modern English translations of it are sometimes published under the title The Confessions of Saint Augustine in order to distinguish the book from other books with similar titles. Its original title was Confessions in Thirteen Books, and it was composed to be read out loud with each book being a complete unit.

Confessions is generally considered one of Augustine's most important texts. It is widely seen as the first Western Christian autobiography ever written (Ovid had invented the genre at the start of the first century AD with his Tristia), and was an influential model for Christian writers throughout the Middle Ages. Professor Henry Chadwick wrote that Confessions will "always rank among the great masterpieces of western literature."

Warfield on the Christian Life -...

Fred G. Zaspel

B. B. Warfield is well known as one of America’s leading theologians, perhaps second only to Jonathan Edwards. But until now the character of his own Christian experience and his understanding of the Christian life have remained unexplored. Fred Zaspel unpacks these for us here, and what we find is that Warfield’s profound theological mind is matched only by his passionate heart for Christ. From Warfield we learn truly what it is to live in light of the gospel.  Part of the Theologians on the Christian Life series.

Don't Let the Enemy Steal from...

Bill Vincent

Bill Vincent has a comment that he feels to release. Don't let any man, don't anything, don't let any situation in your life ever steal the things that God has ordained for you to have. One of the great things of my generation that I see, one of the great things that breaks my heart, is I see a generation that have no idea of the destiny and the future and the hope that God has for our generation. I look at young people in hopelessness. There's so much. We have the cars, we have the entertainment, we have the lights, we have everything that the world could offer a generation and yet there's never been a generation more unhappy, more depressed, more hopelessness.

Spiritual Warfare and Divine...

CPM Fr. Ken Geraci

The book of Revelation states that Satan has declared war on “those who keep the commandments of God and bear testimony to Jesus” (12:17). For those who love our Lord Jesus Christ and strive to follow Him, we must contend with a powerful enemy who is out to destroy us and everyone we love. Are you prepared for this battle? 
This breakthrough spiritual guide will not only give you the “What” of spiritual warfare, but, more importantly, the “How.”   
Fr. Ken Geraci takes the reader through a broad overview of spiritual warfare and the development of one’s prayer life, into a powerful encounter with the divine mercy message and the treasury of weapons Jesus gives us through it. One of the most powerful elements of his teaching is the opening up of the Divine Mercy Chaplet as an extension of the Liturgy of the Eucharist and the power and grace that flow from it.  
When it comes to war, one does not get to sit on the sidelines. The enemy has engaged you as its prey. Spiritual Warfare and Divine Mercy will assist you in recognizing the war that we find ourselves in, and will equip you for the fight.

The Foxhole Victory Tour

Amy Lynn Green

2024 Christy Award Finalist 
 
Based on true World War II stories of life in the USO variety shows, worlds collide when performers from around the United States come together to tour North Africa. 
 
Vibrant and scrappy Maggie McCleod tried not to get fired from her wartime orchestra, but her sharp tongue landed her in trouble, so an overseas adventure with the USO's camp show promises a chance at a fresh start. Wealthy and elegant Catherine Duquette signs with the USO to leave behind her restrictive life of privilege and to uncover the truth behind the disappearance of the handsome pilot whose letters mysteriously stopped arriving. 
 
The two women are joined by an eclectic group of performers--a scheming blues singer, a veteran tap dancer, and a brooding magician--but the harmony among their troupe is short-lived when their tour manager announces he will soon recommend one of them for a coveted job in the Hollywood spotlight. Each of the five members has a reason to want the contract, and they'll do whatever is necessary to claim it. As their troupe travels closer to the dangerous battlefront in Tunisia, personal crises and wartime dangers only intensify, putting not only their careers but also their lives on the line.
