Book Synopsis The World As Wedding by : Scott Hahn
Download or read book The World As Wedding written by Scott Hahn and published by Emmaus Road Publishing. This book was released on 2007-04 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: God’s love for his people is a mysterious analogy for marriage. In this essay, author Scott Hahn depicts the story of the world through the lens of the God's covenantal love and shows that at the heart of the Scriptures is a love story--a love between God and man--that is fittingly portrayed to us as nuptial love. “As if to emphasize the point,” Hahn says, “the Church arranged the Scriptures so that the biblical canon begins and ends with a wedding” – the earthly wedding between Adam and Eve and the Divine Wedding Feast of the Lamb. Defining the meaning of certain Hebrew words unfamiliar to the modern reader, Hahn clearly explains essential passages from Scripture which together underscore why nuptial love is the central and most-used analogy of God’s relationship to His people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scripture & the Mystery of the Mother of God will introduce you more deeply to Mary, the Mother of God, as your mother. Nine well-known Catholics, including Scott and Kimberly Hahn, Jeff Cavins, Tim Gray, and Leon Suprenant—open the pages of God’s family album (the Bible) to provide compelling explanations of Mary’s role in salvation history and in our daily lives as Christians. The result is a moving tribute and convincing testimony that demolishes common misconceptions about Catholic teaching on Mary. Includes material from Scott Hahn on the Luminous Mysteries and the biblical basis of the Marian Dogmas. You’ll learn why the Catholic Church teaches that Mary was immaculately conceived, remained always a virgin, and was assumed body and soul into heaven. You’ll understand how Mary is the fulfillment of the Old Testament images. Most of all, you’ll discover what it means to be a child of Mary in the Church. This book is one of four books in the Catholic for a Reason Series. Authors: Scott Hahn, Curtis A. Martin, Curtis J. Mitch, Tim Gray, Edward P. Sri, Leon J. Suprenant, Kimberly Hahn, Sean Innerst, and Jeff Cavins. Foreword by Bishop James S. Sullivan.

Book Synopsis The World After the Wedding: Catholic for a Reason IV by : Kimberly Hahn
Download or read book The World After the Wedding: Catholic for a Reason IV written by Kimberly Hahn and published by Emmaus Road Publishing. This book was released on 2007-06-01 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this essay, apologist Kimberly Hahn draws on her years of experience as a mother of six to explain how the richness of the spiritual meaning of marriage relates to our everyday life. While the years that follow the elation of a wedding can be filled with duties that seem meaningless and repetitive at times, Hahn shows how the theological teachings on Christ’s love and marriage can give life and meaning to the daily tasks that husband and wife face. In her own words, “Sure, doing the same chores week after week can get tedious, but I was trained by my mother to see the spiritual side of things – it’s possible to rise above the mundane to see the big picture.”
Download or read book The Fourth Cup written by Scott Hahn and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of The Lamb's Supper comes an illuminating work on the Catholic Eucharist and its link to the Jewish Passover meal. “Read this book. And don’t just read it. Pray about it. Reflect on it. And share it with others.”—Brant Pitre, author of The Case for Jesus In this brilliant book—part memoir, part detective story, and part biblical study—Scott Hahn opens up new vistas on ancient landscapes while shedding light on his own enduring faith journey. The Fourth Cup not only tracks the author’s gradual conversion along the path of Evangelicalism to the doorsteps of the Catholic faith, but also explores the often obscure and misunderstood rituals of Passover and their importance in foreshadowing salvation in Jesus Christ. Revealing the story of his formative years as an often hot-headed student and earnest seeker in search of answers to great biblical mysteries, Hahn shows how his ardent exploration of the Bible’s Old Testament turned up intriguing clues connecting the Last Supper and Christ’s death on Calvary. As Hahn tells the story of his discovery of the supreme importance of the Passover in God’s plan of salvation, we too experience often-overlooked relationships between Abel, Abraham, and the Hebrews’ liberation from slavery in Egypt. Along the way, Hahn reveals how the traditional fourth cup of wine used in the concluding celebration of Passover explains in astonishing ways Christ’s paschal sacrifice. Rooted in Scripture and ingrained with lively history, The Fourth Cup delivers a fascinating view of the bridges that span old and new covenants, and celebrates the importance of the Jewish faith in understanding more fully Christ’s life, death, and resurrection.

Book Synopsis The Bride: God's People Restored: Catholic for a Reason IV by : Stephen Pimentel
Download or read book The Bride: God's People Restored: Catholic for a Reason IV written by Stephen Pimentel and published by Emmaus Road Publishing. This book was released on 2007-06-01 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this essay, Stephen and Rachel Pimentel give a historical exegesis on the bride throughout the whole Bible. Beginning with the Old Testament, they take the reader on a swift and easily-understood journey through the passages regarding the bride and her relationship to the bridegroom. They explain some of the more difficult to understand passages regarding marriage in both Old and New Testaments; and show the beauty of God’s plan for marriage, and its centrality to the mystery of His love for us. Grasping these things makes clear the importance of marriage, and shows how in our own marriages, through the sacramental grace we receive, each of us furthers and strengthens God’s marriage to the Church, His bride.
Book Synopsis Love Waiting to Give Itself: Catholic for a Reason IV by : Richard White

This book was released on 2007-06-01 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on their experience helping couples prepare for marriage, Richard and Mei-Ling White offer this meditation on marriage preparation in the Bible, and what we can learn from the examples of Sarah and Tobias, Jacob and Rachel, and many others! In a world where nearly all professions take years of training before being able to practice in one’s chosen field, what is arguably the most important “profession” – i.e. marriage – is too-often entered into with little to no training or preparation. They discuss the importance of the time before marriage to learn and practice self-giving love, so that when a marriage begins the couple has an understanding of what it means to give themselves fully to each other!
Book Synopsis The Sacrament of Marriage as Vocation: Catholic for a Reason IV by : Regis Flaherty

These Christians responded to their own call in marriage and became beacons of hope in dark times. This is what we must each do in our own age--opening ourselves to God, to hear His call, and embrace it, so that together we can fill the world with His light.
Download or read book Fierce Marriage written by Ryan Frederick and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ryan and Selena Frederick were newlyweds when they landed in Switzerland to pursue Selena's dream of training horses. Neither of them knew at the time that Ryan was living out a death sentence brought on by a worsening genetic heart defect. Soon it became clear he needed major surgery that could either save his life--or result in his death on the operating table. The young couple prepared for the worst. When Ryan survived, they both realized that they still had a future together. But the near loss changed the way they saw all that would lie ahead. They would live and love fiercely, fighting for each other and for a Christ-centered marriage, every step of the way. Fierce Marriage is their story, but more than that, it is a call for married couples to put God first in their relationship, to measure everything they do and say to each other against what Christ did for them, and to see marriage not just as a relationship they should try to keep healthy but also as one worth fighting for in every situation. With the gospel as their foundation, Ryan and Selena offer hope and practical help for common struggles in marriage, including communication problems, sexual frustration, financial stress, family tension, screen-time disconnection, and unrealistic expectations.
Book Synopsis Jesus the Bridegroom by : Brant Pitre
Download or read book Jesus the Bridegroom written by Brant Pitre and published by Image. This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bestselling follow-up to Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist. Includes a reader's guide and an excerpt from Pitre's The Case for Jesus. In Jesus the Bridegroom, Brant Pitre once again taps into the wells of Jewish Scripture and tradition, and unlocks the secrets of what is arguably the most well-known symbol of the Christian faith: the cross of Christ. In this thrilling exploration, Pitre shows how the suffering and death of Jesus was far more than a tragic Roman execution. Instead, the Passion of Christ was the fulfillment of ancient Jewish prophecies of a wedding, when the God of the universe would wed himself to humankind in an everlasting nuptial covenant. To be sure, most Christians are familiar with the apostle Paul’s teaching that Christ is the ‘Bridegroom’ and the Church is the ‘Bride’. But what does this really mean? And what would ever possess Paul to compare the death of Christ to the love of a husband for his wife? If you would have been at the Crucifixion, with Jesus hanging there dying, is that how you would have described it? How could a first-century Jew like Paul, who knew how brutal Roman crucifixions were, have ever compared the execution of Jesus to a wedding? And why does he refer to this as the “great mystery” (Ephesians 5:32)? As Pitre shows, the key to unlocking this mystery can be found by going back to Jewish Scripture and tradition and seeing the entire history of salvation, from Mount Sinai to Mount Calvary, as a divine love story between Creator and creature, between God and Israel, between Christ and his bride—a story that comes to its climax on the wood of a Roman cross. In the pages of Jesus the Bridegroom, dozens of familiar passages in the Bible—the Exodus, the Song of Songs, the Wedding at Cana, the Woman at the Well, the Last Supper, the Crucifixion, and even the Second Coming at the End of Time—are suddenly transformed before our eyes. Indeed, when seen in the light of Jewish Scripture and tradition, the life of Christ is nothing less than the greatest love story ever told.
Book Synopsis Catholics, Faith and Marriage by : Michael Tierney
Download or read book Catholics, Faith and Marriage written by Michael Tierney and published by Austin Macauley Publishers. This book was released on 2023-03-31 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As their wedding day approaches, young Catholics feel ready to join their future spouse in an exciting new partnership. They consider themselves to be mature individuals ready, willing and able to take on board all that their marriage can offer. However, after many years involved in parish-based marriage preparation I believe that some who are about to enter marriage have little idea of what might lie around the corner. They have a naïve appreciation of the difficulties, anxieties, shocks and upsets that will inevitably test their relationship as they face the challenges presented by today’s complicated world whilst striving to keep alive the love they share. Moreover, I have concluded that too many have confused and distorted ideas about what the Roman Catholic Church believes, teaches, requires and expects from them during this crucial stage in their lives. Perhaps this situation is predictable given the influence of powerful forces and ideologies which compete for their attention and the disharmony existing within the Church itself, where even the hierarchy hold divergent views and contradictory positions about its nature and purpose. This book considers the way in which ordinary Catholics, faced with so much pressure, ambiguity and conjecture, often struggle to navigate a course through the chaotic melting-pot which characterises modern life and might, on some occasions, question or even deny the Church’s determination to interfere in their personal and private lives.
Book Synopsis Super-Natural Family Planning: Catholic for a Reason IV by : Curtis Martin
Download or read book Super-Natural Family Planning: Catholic for a Reason IV written by Curtis Martin and published by Emmaus Road Publishing. This book was released on 2007-06-01 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this brief yet challenging essay, FOCUS (Fellowship of Catholic University Students) president Curtis Martin and his wife Michaelann cut to the heart of a controversial topic in the Church: contraception vs. Natural Family Planning. They explain the difference between the “sterilization of the marriage act” inherent in contraception and the use of cooperating with the woman’s natural cycle to avoid pregnancy. They further challenge Catholics and non-Catholics alike as they highlight the “super-natural” element necessary in this matter, and question the “use of NFP as a norm.” In a time when the use of NFP is widespread, so that many have likened it to “Catholic birth-control,” the Martins encourage – without being rash or imprudent – couples to trust God for tomorrow’s needs and embrace His call to “be fruitful and multiply”!
Book Synopsis American Pope by : Sean Swain Martin
Download or read book American Pope written by Sean Swain Martin and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-10-15 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As arguably the most influential voice in American Catholicism, the vision that Scott Hahn offers in his works, read by millions of Catholics throughout the world, is one of the most formative in American Catholicism. His numerous books and public speaking engagements are shaping the American Catholic Church in a uniquely powerful manner. This work demonstrates that the Catholic vision that Hahn claims to be providing his audience is, in fact, always quite different from the one he actually presents. What he coins as Catholic faithfulness is instead a straightforward and damning Catholic fundamentalism. As this vision is delivered to millions of the faithful who look to Hahn as a trustworthy guide to an authentic life of Catholic faith, American Pope acts as a critical analysis of his work.
Download or read book The Lamb's Supper written by Scott Hahn and published by Image. This book was released on 2002-06-18 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As seen on EWTN, bestselling author Scott Hahn unveils the mysteries of the Mass, offering readers a deeper appreciation of the most familiar of Catholic rituals. Of all things Catholic, there is nothing that is so familiar as the Mass. With its unchanging prayers, the Mass fits Catholics like their favorite clothes. Yet most Catholics sitting in the pews on Sundays fail to see the powerful supernatural drama that enfolds them. Pope John Paul II described the Mass as "Heaven on Earth," explaining that what "we celebrate on Earth is a mysterious participation in the heavenly liturgy." The Lamb’s Supper reveals a long-lost secret of the Church: The early Christians' key to understanding the mysteries of the Mass was the New Testament Book of Revelation. With its bizarre imagery, its mystic visions of heaven, and its end-of-time prophecies, Revelation mirrors the sacrifice and celebration of the Eucharist. Beautifully written, in clear direct language, bestselling Catholic author Scott Hahn's new book will help readers see the Mass with new eyes, pray the liturgy with a renewed heart, and enter into the Mass more fully, enthusiastically, intelligently, and powerfully than ever before.
