Lyrics For The Centuries Cycle B
$12.95
Some musicians come along and the music speaks to a particular decade. The lyrics of David span the centuries… His lyrics endure and forever surface in our liturgy. (from Chapter seven)
The ten sermons in this book are based on texts primarily from 1 and 2 Samuel. Titles include:
*Saul, The Tormented King
*When Saints Go Marching Forth
*R.S.V.P.
*The Strange Tactics Of God
The sermons of Art Kolsti are among the most consistently thoughtful and stimulating ones that I have heard, but they also contain ideas and subtitles that can slip past die listener on first hearing. They will amply repay the thoughtful and intelligent reader.

Arthur Kolsti’s sermons are all marked by their spiritual substance, apt historical and contemporary illustrations, concise wording, and grounding in careful expositions of Christian scripture and teaching. Kolsti is exquisitely skillful in the use of words and the Word.

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.

Ruthless Trust : The Ragamuffins Path To God
$14.99Add to cartWe are made for the love of God, and nothing less will ever satisfy us. In his acclaimed bestseller, The Ragamuffin Gospel, Brennan Manning showed us the powerful truth that the divine gifts of love is ever present for us regardless of the state of our lives.

No matter where we are on our path of discipleship, he offers encouragement to shed the limitations of fear, shame, and doubt through complete reliance upon God. The way of Ruthless Trust is not an abstract theory; it is that very practical and demanding path that each of us must follow in response to God’s love.

Problem Of Pain
$17.99Add to cartFor centuries Christians have been tormented by one question above all — If God is good and all-powerful, why does he allow his creatures to suffer pain? C. S.
