Sinossi

"Biblical Christianity" explores the evolution of Christian denominations and their divergence from early church practices, posing the thought-provoking question: "How far have we strayed from the original teachings of Christ and His apostles?" This comprehensive book delves into the roots of Christianity, comparing modern religious practices with those of the first-century church and examining the gradual changes that have occurred over two millennia.

 
The book is structured in three main sections:1. An introduction to biblical Christianity and historical context2. An analysis of major Christian denominations' development3. Practical guidance for modern Christians seeking to align their faith more closely with biblical teachings

 
It traces the spread of Christianity through the Roman Empire and beyond, highlighting key historical events that shaped the religion's development. One intriguing aspect is the book's examination of how cultural and political pressures have influenced the adaptation of Christian practices over time.

 
What sets this book apart is its balanced approach to a potentially contentious topic, seeking to understand the historical and cultural contexts that led to changes in Christian worship and organization. By drawing on biblical texts, early church writings, historical documents, and contemporary scholarship, "Biblical Christianity" offers readers a comprehensive view of Christianity's evolution, challenging them to consider how they might bridge the gap between modern practice and biblical teachings.

The Wonders of the Mass

O.P. Father Paul O’Sullivan

The Holy Mass is the single greatest thing on Earth—and in Heaven. For the Eucharistic Sacrifice is the bridge between the two; it is the eternal self-oblation of Our Lord Jesus Christ to the Father, the same sacrifice of the God-Man as on Calvary, applied anew everywhere the Mass is prayed. The Mass unites us with God; it acts as a propitiatory sacrifice and brings God into our midst; it heals our soul and transforms us by God's grace; it offers the only satisfactory thanksgiving possible to give God, for it is God offering Himself to Himself; and far, far more—the wonders of the Mass are literally measureless. 
Mainstay author Fr. Paul O'Sullivan offers in The Wonders of the Mass an astounding guide to the meaning and reality of the sacred liturgy, quoting the saints and Our Lord (via revelations to mystics). There is no capacity in which Fr. O'Sullivan fails to extol the Mass—for truly, because it is Jesus Himself present in the Sacrament, we may offer the same praise to the Mass as to God. 
"The Mass is the greatest wonder in the world," says Fr. O'Sullivan, seconded only by "the next greatest wonder. . .the indifference and ignorance of Catholics regarding the Mass." Let The Wonders of the Mass teach you how limitless is the love of God for man in the holy liturgy.

Kingdom of Happiness - Living...

STD Fr. Jeffrey Kirby

In this encouraging, easy-to-read book, Father Jeffrey Kirby offers hope to the tired, overburdened, and unhappy. He reminds us that we are made for happiness. But he goes beyond that, showing us the path to achieving happiness. It’s not a new path. In fact, Jesus showed us the way in the Beatitudes, but Kingdom of Happiness reveals how these aren’t merely nice sayings, they are powerful ways of living. 
Fr. Kirby first identifies the sources of unhappiness: the false promises—the anti-beatitudes—of a fallen, busy world. He explains how these anti-beatitudes, far from leading to happiness, tear down and rob us of happiness. Kirby leads the reader out of this darkness, pointing us to Jesus Christ as the saint-tested and centuries-proven source of authentic peace, true joy, and radical happiness. 
To unveil the path to happiness in Jesus Christ, Kirby does not rely on emotional arguments or soft spirituality. He turns to the boldness of the Lord’s Beatitudes, the real promises to true happiness. He teaches about the love, power, and self-control within them by showing their practical, life-application in today’s world.  
Kingdom of Happiness shows that the Beatitudes are not a self-help guide or a boring list of eight more things to do, but are a series of grace-filled, life-giving promises that excite our souls and point us along a way of life that assures us of true, lasting happiness.

Read It Speak It Do It - Taking...

Marilyn Hickey

In her latest book, she will show you how to take the promises of God off the page and apply them to your daily life! 
At the age of 11, Marilyn asked God a simple, yet profound question, “Where are you?” God’s reply was equally as simple, yet profound: “I am in the Word.” His response made sense, and Marilyn began to read the Bible. At night, she would kneel on the floor and pray the Scriptures before going to bed. She had no idea that this would lay the foundation for her life and ministry — that these simple practices were shaping her destiny. Several years later, Marilyn heard a teaching on not just reading and doing what the Bible said, but also speaking it. That revelation, along with God’s mercy and grace, has produced astonishing miracles in Marilyn’s life over the last six decades. 
She wants these same miracles for you! In Read It. Speak It. Do It., Marilyn gives you the blueprint that she has used for reading the Bible, speaking its promises, and acting on what the Word says. 
You will gain practical strategies on: 
■ Reading, studying, and meditating on the Bible. 
■ Taking a passage of Scripture and speaking it over your life. 
■ Wielding the Sword of Truth (the Word) during spiritual warfare. 
■ Walking out the Word in faith and expecting miracles. 
Living a miraculous life is not just for international evangelists and preachers; it is also for you! 
Victory begins when you read it, speak it, and do it!
