God With Skin On
$21.95
Jesus responds to the question about the greatest commandment with two Old Testament commandments.The first, known to Jews as the “Shema,” says that we should love God with all our heart, all our soul, and all our strength. The second, to love our neighbor as ourselves. They are parallel commands and, in Jesus’ eyes. Matthew 25–that “when you have done it to the least of these you have done it to me,” makes the same point: loving God and loving each other are the same thing.
In a culture where relationships are often divisive and exploitative, and where the call to love enemies seems impractical, this book offers the reminder we are interacting with God as we engage every relationship.
This book examines relationships of intimacy, authority, rivalry, and otherness-to show how learning to love within those relationships affects our relationship with God.

7 Last Words
$18.99Based on his talks at New York’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Good Friday 2015, the New York Times bestselling author and editor at large of America magazine offers a portrait of Jesus, using his last words on the cross to reveal how deeply he understood our predicaments, what it means to be fully human, and why we can turn to Christ completely, in mind, heart, and soul.
Each meditation is dedicated to one of the seven sayings:
*”Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”
*”Today you will be with me in Paradise.”
*”Woman, this is your son” . . . “This is your mother.”?
*”My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”?
*”I thirst.”?
*”It is finished.”?
*”Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.”With the warmth, wisdom, and grace that infuse his works, Father James Martin explains why Jesus’s crucifixion and death on the cross is an important teaching moment in the Gospels. Jesus’s final statements, words that are deeply cherished by his followers, exemplify the depth of his suffering but also provide a key to his empathy and why we can connect with him so deeply.
