I encourage you to get your hands on the book and journey toward finding peace in Christ.” --Fr. Rob Galea, Author of Breakthrough “Before reading a book, I first look to see whether the messenger’s life gives him the street cred to deliver such a message. Zimak and his family have already embraced the overcoming life adventure that this book challenges and equips us to live. They walk this walk. Take this book with you this Lenten season as your adventure guide.” --Bear Woznick, Founder of Deep Adventure Ministries Winner of a third-place award in the backlist beauty category from the Catholic Media Association.

From Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday, Zimak guides you to ponder a scripture passage and to apply it to your own life by following four simple steps: read reflect respond pray As you continue to meditate on scripture and practice the simple action steps at the end of each reflection, you will find it easier to replace old worries with new messages of hope and to change your life forever.

-Titulo Original : Sacred Scripture A Catholic Study Of Gods Word-Fabricante : Ave Maria Press-Descripcion Original: (©2013) The Subcommittee on the Catechism, United States Catholic Bishops, has found that this catechetical high school text is in conformity with the Catechism of the Catholic Church and fulfills the requirements of Elective Course A of the Doctrinal Elements of a Curriculum Framework for the Development of the Catechetical Materials for Young People of High School Age. Sacred Scripture: A Catholic Study of Gods Word presents the Bible to students as a living source of Gods Revelation to us. It gathers the two covenants of Scripture and the seventy-two books of the Bible under the umbrella of Church teaching, which holds that in Sacred Scripture, God speaks only one single Word, his one Utterance in whom he expresses himself completely (CCC, 102). This introduction to the biblical texts is both a companion for prayerful study and a survey of the context, message, and authorship of each book. It also provides students with a plan for reading and studying the Bible in concert with the Holy Spirit and Church teaching. The text provides historical context for biblical literature and its analysis is mindful that Scripture must be read within the living Tradition of the Church; in so doing, the text examines the relationship between Scripture and the doctrines of the Catholic faith. While modern historical-critical scholarship is not ignored, the text is balanced by emphasis on the multiple senses of Scripture: literal, spiritual, allegorical, moral, and anagogical...

-Titulo Original : Wilderness Within: A Guided Lent Journal for Prayer and Meditation-Fabricante : Ave Maria Press-Descripcion Original: This Lent, allow Sr. Josephine Garrett to be your guide as you explore the interior wilderness of your heart and invite Jesus in to heal you with his love. Have you ever wondered why Jesus went into the wilderness? Some believe it was to reveal his divinity or to restore humanity’s relationship with God. In Wilderness Within, Sr. Josephine Garrett, a mental health counselor and popular speaker, reflects on the belief that Jesus went into the wilderness to rescue us-to rescue us! The Lord does not want us to view the wilderness as something that causes worry, anxiety, or fear. “What if, instead,” Sr. Josephine writes, “we looked at how God has been a faithful provider in the wilderness and trusted that He will do the same for us in the wilderness journey ahead? What if we joyfully take His hand and journey into the wilderness, because when Christ enters there, ‘this opposite place of the garden becomes the place of reconciliation and healing’” (Pope Benedict XVI, Jesus of Nazareth)? In Wilderness Within, Sr. Josephine will guide you through the forty days of Lent to attend to the wilderness of your heart as a place to be explored, restored, and sent on mission by Jesus’s tender love. Week of Ash Wednesday: Enter Lent by recognizing your ability to always begin anew in Christ. Week One: Open your heart to God’s love, allowing yourself to reverence your heart as a gift from your Creator. Week Two: Reflect on the truth that we are created for relationships, and examine the relationships in your life. Week Three: Take an honest look at your limitations, wounds, and sin guided by a spirit of humility and repentance. Week Four: Begin to see how God designed your heart to be rescued by him and grow in your capacity to be healed by him. Week Five: Leave the wilderness of your heart so that you can go on mission-with a heart restored by Christ’s love-to love your neighbor and be a good steward of the gifts and charisms given to you. Holy Week: Follow in Jesus’s footsteps to the Cross and discover how you can love him well through each stage of the Passion and Resurrection. Each day’s content includes brief meditations, specially crafted illustrations, thought-provoking reflection questions, heartfelt prayers curated to uplift your spirit, and ample journaling space for personal revelations and insights. Whether you’re journeying alone or with a group, Wilderness Within is your guide to a beautiful and renewing Lent.

-Titulo Original : St. Dymphna’s Playbook: A Catholic Guide To Finding Mental And Emotional Well-Being-Fabricante : Ave Maria Press-Descripcion Original: Are you or someone you love struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, or other mental health concerns? Tommy Tighe, a licensed marriage and family therapist, wants to help you take steps toward reaching and maintaining mental and emotional well-being, not only through self-care, healthy coping mechanisms, and professional intervention but also through prayer, scripture, and developing a relationship with the saints. St. Dymphna’s Playbook combines a therapeutic approach with the deep wells of Catholic faith and spiritual practice, exploring paths toward hope, healing, and wellness. Born out of Tighe’s podcast of the same name, St. Dymphna’s Playbook provides a practical, ready-made game plan for moving toward wellness. It offers concrete explanations of a wide scope of mental health concerns and symptoms related to depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships, and grief, as well as the common emotions and situations that allow them to grow-including fear, social anxiety, isolation, loss, and unhealthy relationships. Tighe shares best practices for understanding and beginning to address each concern and offers a uniquely Catholic understanding, diving into relevant scriptures and introducing us to a Catholic saint or holy person who lived with the same issue-including St. Dymphna, patron of those with mental disorders. Whatever your concern or struggle, you are not alone. The witness of scripture and the saints reminds us of the community we already have as we begin working toward mental well-being. Review “Very few people can speak with authority about the interplay between traditional mental health treatment and the healing power of the divine, but Tommy Tighe does so in St. Dymphna’s Playbook with compassion, vulnerability, and wisdom. If, like me, you have ever struggled with depression, anxiety, or any other mental health disorder, this is the guide for which you’ve been waiting. This beautiful gift of a book will transform a great many lives.” -- Hallie Lord, author of Falling Home “Whether you struggle with mental health or support someone who does, St. Dymphna’s Playbook is an essential read that illuminates common experiences around depression, anxiety, trauma, relationships, and grief. It’s accessible, easy to comprehend, and a great gift to our Church, full of practical tools and abundant in hope.” -- Scott Weeman, founder and executive director of Catholic in Recovery “There are valuable insights in St. Dymphna’s Playbook to help Catholic leaders minister to people living with mental health challenges and illnesses. In addition to professional guidance, this book also shows how the saints-many of whom lived with mental illnesses themselves-can guide you in your ministry.” -- Deacon Ed Shoener, president of the Association of Catholic Mental Health Ministers, compiler and editor of Responding to Suicide: A Pastoral Handbook for Catholic Leaders “If you experience mental health symptoms or love someone who does, you will find Tommy Tighe’s book moving and helpful. He provides hopeful, practical tools to utilize immediately and blends wisdom from saints, scripture, and clinical experience into the perfect mix of relatability and sound psychological advice. I will be recommending St. Dymphna’s Playbook to many people.” -- Regina Boyd, Catholic mental health professional and host of the podcast Connecting Out Loud About the Author Tommy Tighe is a marriage and family therapist, creator of the Saint Dymphna’s Playbook podcast, and the cohost of Repent and Submit on CatholicTV.
