Summary

Winner of two 2025 CMA Book Awards from the Catholic Media Association: The Future of the Church (First Place), and Pastoral Ministry Catechetical (Third Place).Embark on a transformative journey into the heart of Eucharistic worship with Behold, Believe, Become—where the ordinary becomes extraordinary and the Mass becomes a soul-saving, life-changing encounter with Christ, our Eucharistic Lord.In Behold, Believe, Become, Timothy P. O’Malley, a distinguished leader in the Eucharistic Revival movement and bestselling author of Becoming Eucharistic People and Real Presence, shows you how to see differently—through newly formed habits of contemplation—fifteen ordinary, physical things that the Church uses at Mass to point us toward Christ. You will explore layers of meaning found in noble doors and stained-glass windows, sunlight and water, oil and fire, altars and church pews, and bread and wine become Body and Blood. O’Malley helps you see how each element tells us something about who Christ is and who we are to become as Christian people.Inspired by the towering genius of the twentieth-century liturgical movement, Fr. Romano Guardini (1865–1968), O’Malley offers an unconventional walk through the Mass, highlighting that “matter matters.” This book doesn’t delve into the intricate history of Eucharistic Prayers or the doctrinal meaning of various words and actions. Instead, it provides a unique exploration of the material stuff of the Mass that we encounter from the time we enter the church until the time we depart at the end.Whether you’re seeking personal growth or exploring this journey with a small group, Behold, Believe, Become is the perfect companion, providing brief online videos featuring Rachel and Jason Bulman of "Meet the Bulmans" and chapter-ending reflection questions to help connect your everyday life to the celebration of Mass. And for those craving a communal experience, a small-group leader’s guide and parish planning kit make this an invaluable resource for parishes, schools, and other Catholic communities.Are you ready to witness the Mass in a new light? Behold, Believe, Become is your key to unlocking a richer, more meaningful Eucharistic experience.

It is also used extensively as a "Come Follow Me" course of study for adults. This audiobook is a narration of the Book of Mormon along with historical commentary by W. Cleon Skousen, who taught the Book of Mormon at Brigham Young University for many years. The narration of the scriptural verses is by the spiritually compelling voice of Wendell Noble. The four-volume audio commentary covers the entire text of the Book of Mormon and this second volume covers the book of Enos through Alma chapter twenty-nine. As you listen to these recordings, one or two verses of the Book of Mormon are first narrated by Brother Noble, after which Brother Skousen interjects highlights and doctrine from those verses. By using this Book of Mormon narration with insightful commentary, you can make the Book of Mormon your daily, personal resource.

    The spark that ignited the writing of HE IS!  is Hebrews 11:6: “But without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” (NKJV). 
In his deepest trials of life, Mark embarked on an adventure to know God more fully and intimately through prayerful meditation on the Scriptures. He confesses that he has been a part of three main groups in this world: those who deny that God exists, those who don’t know if there is a God, and those who believe in God. He shares some of his own spiritual awakening in the Preface and stories from his life that help devotional theology to be practical and relatable to life. 
If you are considering beginning your own Hebrews 11:6 quest to know God more personally and intimately, this devotional theology listen will be of great help as it is filled with Scriptural quotations that reveal who God says HE IS! 
Each meditation includes reflection questions that ask readers to consider topics such as whether they find comfort in sometimes not understanding God, how they feel about awesome truths regarding God, and how knowing a particular attribute of God might change the way they think and act. 
Ignite your faith, learn more about who God is, and help spread the Word with this book of devotional meditation by inviting others to join you in a group study.

    One day, Will Millhouse, an ordinary, lonesome bachelor, encounters a young girl who claims to be his daughter from the future. Should he believe her? Cristina of Aspen Aisle is a mystery, a frontier adventure, and a love story that reminds us of the echoing beauty and joy all around us, if we are willing to see with new eyes. 
  
"It's exactly the kind of book I would love to read but is impossible to find. I suppose I feel...giddy, agape, aglow, awakened to fresh awareness 'that I too am a man in love.' It has all the freshness of a first novel but none of the flaws. I'm in awe of the mastery of plot, suspense, timing, tone: all such delicate matters yet handled with perfect pitch. Case has really learned well from L.M. Montgomery, and indeed improved upon her in that his writing is so brilliantly and unabashedly God-struck. And the clarity of the prose: all the way through there's nary a misstep in sentence structure, rhythm, dialogue, etc. The writing never gets in the way of itself, and this alone is no small feat." 
—MIKE MASON, best-selling author of The Mystery of Marriage and Same Old, Same New
