For As Long As I Can
$18.99
When the author’s father was diagnosed with terminal cancer, his son’s desire to record a few thoughts relative to that experience soon became an obsession to capture each precious moment. This is the story of a father’s last struggles, his one overarching request, and his son’s attempt to come to grips with his death. From the shock of learning of his father’s cancer to the struggle involved with being asked to conduct his funeral, this is ultimately a story of the triumph of the human spirit. But more than that, it is a story of the triumph of God’s grace as evidenced in the life of the author, his father, and his family. “Written as a journal, For as Long as I Can is a gentle interweaving of the human and spiritual experience, reminding us of the inseparable bond between child and parent. Caretakers of a terminally ill family member can be strengthened and encouraged as they relate to the day-to-day, hour-by-hour account of a son’s journey with his father through his final weeks on earth.” -Professor Bette T. Beane (Ph.D., Human Development and Family Studies) “Determined to draw strength and lucidity from every moment that remained, For as Long as I Can is a rich, touching, and detailed journey of a father’s last challenge with life on this side of eternity.” -J. Wayne Easlack (Ph.D., Behavioral Science) Director of Counseling for The Counseling Center Providence Place, High Point, NC (Nationally recognized seminar speaker and authority on anxiety disorders)

Great Divorce
$17.99Add to cartC.S. Lewis takes us on a profound journey through both heaven and hell in this engaging allegorical tale. Using his extraordinary descriptive powers, Lewis introduces us to supernatural beings who will change the way we think about good and evil. In The Great Divorce C.S. Lewis again employs his formidable talent for fable and allegory. The writer, in a dream, finds himself in a bus which travels between Hell and Heaven. This is the starting point for an extraordinary meditation upon good and evil which takes issue with William Blake’s The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.

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.
