The Vision for You is a process by which we discovered our true calling in life—what we call our ‘personal vocation’; and through which we discovered the Great Fact—that we have a choice in life: WE CAN CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY OR TO BE MISERABLE.
The Vision for You process leads us to an accurate and deep confession that brings joy. We cannot confess too many sins if what we say is accurate and true. Scrupulosity is anxiety caused by a lack of trust in God’s infinite mercy which leads to repetition and needless over-elaboration of detail in the description of any one sin.
In this book, Clayton provides us with a synthesis that places all within the context of the greater tradition of Catholic thinking on these topics and shows how, far from being a radical departure from it, the Theology of the Body is reinforcing a traditionally Christian and conservative approach to the nude in art. - Deacon Keith Fournier
I am delighted that Sophia Institute Press is going to use my painting of St Michael for the cover of an upcoming book, Spiritual Warfare and the Discernment of Spirits, which will be published next month. Charlie McKinney of Sophia Institute Press told me that he chose it because he likes the sense of effortlessness ease with which St Michael deals with evil personified, the Devil.
Did you know that Mark was not the first gospel written? No, they were written in the order in which they appear in the Bible - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Read this book to find out why modern analyses are most likely wrong. Fundamental theology is the study of theology itself. It sets the ground rules by which we study God. Much of its attention, therefore is on scripture. In this book Dr Lawrence Feingold reestablishes the methods of scriptural analysis of the Church Fathers, going back to figures such as Origen in the 3rd-century AD. He does so, in part, by analyzing rationally the modern method of historical-critical analysis and showing why it has lead us into error.
Paul Jernberg is one of the few people who can really answer the question: how can the music heard today in the Catholic Church be renewed so as to proclaim the divine dignity of the Mass, and to draw people into its contemplative dimension of reverent adoration, transformation, and loving communion?
This book brilliantly introduces us to the story of who we are in the West and why it is so good to be alive today. Shapiro explains how Greek philosophy and the Jewish and Christian faiths have been the forming influences of who we are. If we want to preserve and nurture a good society, it should be part of the general education of every young person in America.
