Paulist Press, 2005

Maintenance to Mission
Terrific book which tells it like it is in a non-judgemental style. It gives parishes a goal to work toward so that the routine "irritations" become secondary to the real mission of the Church.

This book gathers together leading theologians and practitioners of evangelization and identifies the major obstacles to a fuller unfolding of evangelization in the Church today. The obstacles are not only clearly identified but solutions are proposed that will ...

Evangelization

The book starts from a twofold premise. Firstly, in our "age of the laity", the ...

The New Evangelization of Catholics: In a New Language

The author includes the whole Church: pope, bishops, priests and religious ...

Dana Lee Robert

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, 2003

More Than a Biography
I'm so glad the editors of this biography series chose to include Dana Robert's lively book on Pierson with those on better known figures like Charles Finney, Thomas Jefferson, and Emily Dickinson. Her enagaging account shows us that Pierson is just as important as these others in helping us understand who we are as Americans and how we became the country we are, with an evangelical faith ...
