The Quotable Fulton Sheen: A Topical Compilation of the Wit, Wisdom, and Satire of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen 2 reviews
Fulton Sheen
Galilee Trade, 1989
Great lessons from a wise man and future saint
This book of Archbishop Fulton Sheen's greatest quotes can provide inspiration and wise counsel to any reader of any age.
Many of his books are out of print and subsequently his works and wisdom are less accessible these days. This book saves some of his greatest thoughts, ideas and observations and delivers them in a quotation format.
This book is very readable. One can pick it up for a ...

Christmastide: Prayers for Advent Through Epiphany from The Divine Hours 3 reviews
Phyllis Tickle
Galilee Trade, 2003
Great Book
The Christmastide book is the perfect book to use for those who are starting to learn about the Liturgy of the Hours. We used this book at my parish throughout the Advent Season before weekday morning mass. We have since adapted to the regular morning prayer, but this book is a great way to start before going to the full version. I would recommend this book to anyone! The only con is the ...

Peace in the Storm: Meditations on Chronic Pain and Illness8 reviews
Maureen Pratt
Galilee Trade, 2005
Just what I needed.....
I love this book. Living in chronic pain, undiagnosed, takes all the life out of you. This book has a reading for almost any emotion or thought you feel when in pain. The readings are short and easy to follow, especially when you are on medication. Each time I read it I feel more at ease. I would recommend this book highly!

The Heart of an Executive: Lessons on Leadership From the Life of King David7 reviews
Richard D. Phillips
Galilee Trade, 2000
A **MUST** Read for anyone who leads or wants to lead.
If you are the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, a high school teacher, the President or the Prime Minister, a parent, a middle executive, the owner of a small business or a section head for small band of workers, this book is for you! Richad Phillips beautifully and poingnantly highlights the true essence of leadership--leadership built not upon its own successes, but is bound up in the loyalty ...

The Powers That Be: Theology for a New Millennium23 reviews
Walter Wink
Galilee Trade, 1999
Many Christians, Jews and Moslems may have been seduced by the whore of Babylon
I read this book twice as a facilitator of Just Faith a seminar meant to deepen spirituality and faith in Jesus. I agree with much of what other 5 star reviewers have mentioned but these reviews have left a big piece of the puzzle missing which I would like to address in this review. Wink's genius in this book is in pointing out the Babylonian creation story as the archetype behind the myth of ...

The Twilight of Atheism: The Rise and Fall of Disbelief in the Modern World 57 reviews
Alister McGrath
Galilee Trade, 2006
The history of atheism
This is a really fantastic and unbiased book about why atheism did not spread as widely as had been expected by its founders. I say unbiased because the author really makes an effort in showing the atheists' views throughout history. This book could be considered as a history of the atheistic movement and how it evolved throughout the ages. I am sure that many readers who will read this book ...

Catechism of the Catholic Church, Gift Edition6 reviews
U.S. Catholic Church
Galilee Trade, 1995
Catechism of the Catholic church
People offer all sorts of explanations for Catholic Curch doctrine. Most of the time they don't even know what they're talking about. If you really want to know what the Catholic Church teaches then you need to read this book. It is clear, concise, to the point and doesn't split hairs. There are no grey areas, no excuses and leaves one without a doubt in their minds. Excellent!

Cirineu
The Jerusalem Bible is a GREAT Bible translation, rich, poetic and at the same time simple to read and to understand!
I was used to read the Bible in Portuguese, but since I bought this edition I adopted It as my preferred fount, which I can read together with my usual Bible and compare the passages. Taking into account Its English is balanced and readable my Bible reading has become richer ...

My Life with Christ (Image Books)3 reviews
Anthony Paone
Galilee Trade, 1965
Religion and Psychology
This book was a gift. I have owned it for over 22 years. It was used when I received it. A review at the time it was published stated " ... a book destined to work wonders with the human soul." It's the most valuable gift I have ever received. It is truly a "great" book. My copy is now falling apart due to use through the years. It's held together by tape. At times it holds my life together. Buy ...

Mastering Sadhana: On Retreat With Anthony De Mello2 reviews
Carlos G. Valles
Galilee Trade, 1988
Very worthwhile
Carlos Valles was a contemporary of Anthony De Mello and attended his sadhana retreats. This book is a record of one of De Mello's last given retreats. Valles describes the main themes of the retreat and much more. Great insight is given into the genius of De Mello, as well as very interesting biographical information. I have read this book about four times. De Mello is one of the great ...

Sexless in the City: A Memoir of Reluctant Chastity7 reviews
Anna Broadway
Galilee Trade, 2008
Sexless in the City
After having read many Christian books on sexuality that rely solely on the "true love waits" mantra, I found this book to be very refreshing. Broadway uses her experiences to show the fallacy behind the American myth that true love and marriage will solve every problem in life. She dispels this myth and shows that only the love from God can ever truly satisfy our huge need for love. She also ...

Celebrating the Single Life1 review
Susan Annette Muto
Galilee Trade, 1985
Essential reading for anyone considering a celibate life in the world
This is one of the best spiritual books I have ever read. Susan Muto is not only theologically learned, but she also writes from experience as a single, celibate laywoman living her vocation in the world. Muto cogently defends the place of singleness in Christianity and elucidates the single life as a calling just as noble, spiritual, honorable, and apostolically productive as marriage, the ...

Eastertide: Prayers for Lent Through Easter from The Divine Hours (Tickle, Phyllis) 3 reviews
Phyllis Tickle
Galilee Trade, 2004
A Launching Pad Book
Eastertide is a great way to launch one's practice of fixed hour prayer. The psychologists tell us that it takes about six weeks to form a new habit--roughly the length of Lent, the season covered in this sampling of The Divine Hours. The introduction presents a compelling case for fixed hour prayer as the natural expression of daily prayer. Because Lent-Easter are moving targets in the ...
