Romans (Student/Study Guide)
$21.95
Established resource series for church groups and individual use
* An expert in church renewal takes the opportunity to approach the series in a fresh,
new fashion
It has been said that we are called not only to read Scripture but to let Scripture read
us. In that spirit, this book will guide readers into conversation with Paul’s letter to the
Romans. The author will help us listen to what that letter said to the people to whom it
was written and to hear what it says to us today. Readers will bring their own reflections,
personal concerns, and questions to the table as we let this letter challenge us with
meaning-letting it read the reader.
The thesis of this book is that the letter has demonstrated transforming power to renew
lives and the church through a focus on worship; a rigorous assessment of the human
condition, especially the failure of human religiosity; a claim of transforming power in the
ongoing life of Christ; an expansive vision of who is included in God’s life and love; a call
to practical application and proclamation of the gospel.
For thoughtful lay audiences, groups/parish study; resource for clergy, and education
professionals.

7 Last Words
$18.99Add to cartBased 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.
