The Handbook is a readable, humorous, wise and eminently realistic approach to helping moms keep perspective and balance in all the dimensions of their lives. In full disclosure, Lisa's my ...

Nouwen at his best
I own a number of Henri Nouwen's books and am proud to add this one to my collection. About half-way through reading it, I can say that it is certainly one of Father Nouwen's very best books. If you are looking for inspiration, comfort, hope then you cannot fail to find them in this wonderful text.

The Dance of Life: Weaving Sorrows And Blessings into One Joyful Step

Ave Maria Press, 2006

Gems from Nouwen
I've been a Nouwen fan for several months now, having graduated from Merton's Sign of Jonas to Nouwen's Road to Gennessee. Have thoroughly enjoyed his journals and have been touched by his openness and honesty. He is quick to mention his struggles and shortcomings--something we don't often think of when we think of well-known contemplatives and spiritual giants here on earth! The Dance of Life ...

SacredSpace: The Prayer Book 2010

10 reviews

Ave Maria Press, 2009

A really excellent, helpful book
I've found this book to be a really helpful prayer guide as there's an excellent balance between a guiding structure that you can use each day and week and free space/opportunities for reflection that you can personalise to suit your mood that day. I'd really recommend it to anyone wanting some inspiration to boost their prayer life.

The Cup of Our Life: A guide for spiritual growth
This book has shown me the areas of my life that need to be more in tune with a Christian lifestyle. Prayer and devotional time are 2 important areas of a Christian life. A friend introduced me to this book and I am so glad she did. I am using it as a teaching aid in my small group ministry.

Out of Solitude: Three Meditations on the Christian Life

10 reviews
Henri J. M. Nouwen

Ave Maria Press, 2004

Great book for contemplation
During my fast, and contemplation, times and again, I'm drawn to this little book. It is a great book. This little book slowly, bit by bit, through 3 meditations on Christ, directs my mind from the "secular world" to Christ. It draws me to silence, to face myself, to God, and to caring for others and hope for the future. It takes me to a journey and after that, I am filled with constance ...

Michael Francis Pennock

Ave Maria Press, 1998

Catholicism simply explained
Michael Pennock, in this revised edition, takes the numbered articles of the Catholic Catechism and explains each point in a clear, succinct manner,using language that is understood by ordinary Catholics. Those who have had little opportunity to study theology can make sense of the doctrines and traditions of the Church and raise pertinent questions for clarification. I find it an invaluable ...

Encountering Jesus in the New Testament

Michael Pennock

Ave Maria Press, 2009

Encountering Jesus
The work is well organized. For instance, the book begins with the Historical Jesus, the New Testament, the Gospels, Paul's letters, the early Church and the Jesus of today. Tacitus verified Jesus' public life during the reign of Emperor Tiberius. The Evangelist Luke made a similar verification in Luke 3: 1-2. The New Testament is the primary source material on Jesus, although the ...

inspirational,insightful. Packed full of meaning.
Apart from the gospels and new testament,this is,THE,most rewarding book i have ever read.It stresses with clarity the fundamental importance of becoming aware of our true identity in christ,and equally important of becoming aware of our false self,the self rooted in the ego.The book is a wake up call for all those who would see the spiritual life as a process of self agrandizement.With it's ...

Everyone's Way of the Cross

Clarence Enzler

Ave Maria Press, 1991

Deep and Meaningful
This is the edition I have been using for years. It was originally published as `everyman's way of the cross' and has sold over 2 million copies. The photo's accompanying each meditation are black and white photo's of everyday life; an apartment building someone in a library, an old man sitting in a park. These down to earth pictures help bring the meditations home to today and now.

Healing

Francis MacNutt

Ave Maria Press, 1999

A Great Encouragement
This book is a wonderful introduction to healing prayer, written by a man who has taken the time to research the history of healing prayer and who expresses what he has to say in understandable prose. It was an eye-opening experience for me to read this book as I come from a Christian tradition that largely has ignored this topic. Those who think that healing prayer is the stock in trade of ...

The Power to Heal

Francis MacNutt

Ave Maria Press, 1992

Tremendous
Reviewer is Rev. Dr.Mary Clemson We all have the power to heal and to be healed. Do you believe this? My husband didn't and I didn't try to convince him. I asked him to read this book, he did, and in a couple weeks joined me in the healing ministry. By the way, my husband is a retired university professor and quite skeptical of most things. No more, God used this book to bring him full ...
