Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Bob Betterton has been a faithful Catholic for 80 years and is unafraid to show that the emperor often has no clothes. While courageously defending the church in a time when it's easier to back away from it than stay within and build it up, his suggestions for change have the authority of one who has studied the issues his whole life and knows what he is talking about. At once autobiographical, theological, and spiritual, Saving the Catholic Church While Sitting in a Pew is a timely book for others who love the church and are interested in preserving what matters most."--Michael Leach, author of Why Stay Catholic? "If all the clerics in America would honestly consider what this book makes so clear, the "future American Church" might stand a chance."--William J. O'Malley SJ, author of The WOW Factor"Objective research, illuminated by imagination, humor and common sense, makes Saving the Catholic Church While Sitting in a Pew a hope-filled treatise for frustrated Catholics. Read it, underline what resonates, then buy a second copy for a friend.--Barbara G. Reynolds, former Chair Religious Studies Department, Fordham Prep"Critical analysis of the American Catholic Church by Lay Persons currently has some very articulate voices, both from Journalism and from Academe. Think: Curran, Gibson, Lakeland, Leach, Steinfels and Wilkes. Here, now, is an articulate voice which quite literally rises up from the pews to define the genre of the "Critical Catholic." No one I know of has attempted to assay the size of this group. I do know that this book will attract a lot of new members to it. One "C" to which Bob's first book did not refer is most important in this one: Constructive!"--Ronald A. Naumann, MD, Non-complacent Pastoral Council Member

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The hilarious and heartwarming, respectful and thought-provoking memoir of a college student's semester at Liberty University, the "Bible Boot Camp" for young evangelicals, that will inspire believers and nonbelievers alike. No drinking. No smoking. No cursing. No dancing. No R-rated movies. Kevin Roose wasn't used to rules like these. As a sophomore at Brown University, he spent his days fitting right in with Brown's free-spirited, ultra-liberal student body. But when Roose leaves his Ivy League confines to spend a semester at Liberty University, a conservative Baptist school in Lynchburg, Virginia, obedience is no longer optional. Liberty is the late Reverend Jerry Falwell's "Bible Boot Camp" for young evangelicals, his training ground for the next generation of America's Religious Right. Liberty's ten thousand undergraduates take courses like Evangelism 101 and follow a forty-six-page code of conduct that regulates every aspect of their social lives. Hoping to connect with his evangelical peers, Roose decides to enroll at Liberty as a new transfer student, chronicling his adventures in this daring report from the front lines of America's culture war. His journey takes him from an evangelical hip-hop concert to a spring break mission trip to Daytona Beach (where he learns to preach the gospel to partying coeds). He meets pastors' kids, closet doubters, Christian rebels, and conducts what would be the last print interview of Rev. Falwell's life.

Book excerpt: My Dearest Catholic, Do you sometimes fear that your eternal soul, which is extremely precious to Jesus, is not truly saved? Do you yearn to know what your heavenly Father has to say about everlasting life? By way of biblical scriptures, Karen Jo Hudson has candidly, and clearly quoted from God's Holy Word, the one and only true path for the salvation of your everlasting soul. In a practical and openhearted manner, she is able to contrast the vast difference between the Catholic doctrine, as it is compared with God's biblical truth, concerning the most important decision that you will ever be required to make. Read on, Dear Reader, and you also can learn the truth. As our Most Beloved Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ said, "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." (John 8:32)

Book excerpt: The well-known and very popular Catholic couple, Scott and Kimberly Hahn, have been constantly travelling and speaking all over North America for the last few years about their conversion to the Catholic Church. Now these two outstanding Catholic apologists tell in their own words about the incredible spiritual journey that led them to embrace Catholicism. Scott Hahn was a Presbyterian minister, the top student in his seminary class, a brilliant Scripture scholar, and militantly anti-Catholic ... until he reluctantly began to discover that his "enemy" had all the right answers. Kimberly, also a top-notch theology student in the seminary, is the daughter of a well-known Protestant minister, and went through a tremendous "dark night of the soul" after Scott converted to Catholicism. Their conversion story and love for the Church has captured the hearts and minds of thousands of lukewarm Catholics and brought them back into an active participation in the Church. They have also influenced countless conversions to Catholicism among their friends and others who have heard their powerful testimony. Written with simplicity, charity, grace and wit, the Hahns' deep love and knowledge of Christ and of Scripture is evident and contagious throughout their story. Their love of truth and of neighbor is equally evident, and their theological focus on the great importance of the family, both biological and spiritual, will be a source of inspiration for all readers.

Book excerpt: In “I’m Not Being Fed!” Discovering the Food that Satisfies the Soul, Jeff Cavins explores the reasons why many Catholics do not seem to understand and appreciate the Holy Eucharist—and why some have even left the Church, saying that they simply weren’t being “fed” and that they longed for a more personal, “spiritually nourishing” relationship with Jesus. In these pages, you will learn: ● What Catholics who have left the Church mean when they say they weren’t “being fed” ● How to respond to common objections to the Catholic faith ● Why Jesus invites us into a more personal, intimate relationship with him ● Why some Catholics don’t feel spiritually satisfied, even if they attend Mass ● How to help those who have left the Church embark on their journey home Focusing on the clear biblical evidence for the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, Cavins points out that it is impossible to read the sixth chapter of John’s Gospel literally without recognizing that the Eucharist is more than just a “symbol” of God’s love. Rather, it is the very heart of Christianity, the only food that truly satisfies our souls. "Here Jeff Cavins succeeds in his quest to help readers understand how the Catholic Church truly feeds people with the Word of God and with the very body and blood, soul and divinity of Jesus in the Eucharist. Whether they firmly believe the Church’s teaching on the Eucharist or have serious doubts, Cavins helps Catholics grow in their knowledge and love of the Eucharist and savor the feast Christ Himself sets before them at every Mass." Fr. Terence Henry, TOR President, Franciscan University of Steubenville "By weaving the personal with the historical, Cavins is at his best in describing the spiritual meaning of the Eucharist and in demonstrating the Truth that inheres in Catholicism." William A. Donohue, Ph.D. President, Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights

Book excerpt: Immaculée Ilibagiza believes that praying the rosary spared her from being slaughtered during the horrific 1994 Rwanda genocide, in which her family and more than a million other innocent men, women, and children were brutally murdered. Nearly two decades later, Immaculée continues to pray the rosary every day and marvels at how she is constantly renewed and richly rewarded by rejoicing in this glorious prayer. It has helped her in every aspect of her life, from literally saving her life to strengthening her faith, easing sorrows, changing heartache into happiness, healing illnesses in herself and others, solving family problems, landing a dream job, finding long-lost friends, and even locating lost keys! She received so many blessings from the rosary, in fact, that she decided to study its history and origins. She soon discovered that it was not just meant for Catholics, but that the Virgin Mary promised a life filled with blessings to everyone from any religion who faithfully recited the rosary daily . . . and this was such wonderful news that she vowed to share it with as many people as she could. In The Rosary: The Prayer That Saved My Life, Immaculée reveals how the rosary’s many blessings can be reaped by each and every one of us. In this moving and uplifting book, the New York Times bestselling author recounts her personal experience of discovering the power and the beauty of the ancient beads—and shows all of us how to enrich our own lives by exploring and embracing the mysteries, secrets, and promises of the prayer that became her "lifeline to heaven."

Book excerpt: In 2012, Steve Austin, then a pastor, nearly died by suicide. His experience launched him on a journey that opened his eyes to the widespread problem of mental illness and how those who live with it are often treated in congregations. He began to wonder: if church folks had talked openly about mental health, therapy, suicide prevention, recovery from abuse, and other difficult issues, would that have changed his story? In Hiding in the Pews, people with mental illness--some of whom might be pastors themselves--will find comfort as they learn they are not alone. Those who know someone with mental illness will gain wisdom about how to be a safe presence. Those who hold the most power in church communities--pastors, board members, and lay leaders--will be challenged and equipped to transform their congregations into places of healing, where it is safe for people to be vulnerable about their suffering. Austin draws on his own experience, as well as on interviews with eighty current and former church leaders and members. Each chapter covers a topic or theme about mental illness and the church and includes practical applications to guide leaders on a journey toward transforming church culture. When a church champions vulnerability and establishes safety within its walls, especially for those who are suffering, the loving power of God heals. Austin offers hope that faith communities will be the first places people think of when they need a sense of safety and belonging.

Book excerpt: “This is a book about Heaven,” says Jayber Crow, “but I must say too that . . . I have wondered sometimes if it would not finally turn out to be a book about Hell.” It is 1932 and he has returned to his native Port William to become the town's barber. Orphaned at age ten, Jayber Crow’s acquaintance with loneliness and want have made him a patient observer of the human animal, in both its goodness and frailty. He began his search as a “pre–ministerial student” at Pigeonville College. There, freedom met with new burdens and a young man needed more than a mirror to find himself. But the beginning of that finding was a short conversation with “Old Grit,” his profound professor of New Testament Greek. “You have been given questions to which you cannot be given answers. You will have to live them out—perhaps a little at a time.” “And how long is that going to take?” “I don't know. As long as you live, perhaps.” “That could be a long time.” “I will tell you a further mystery,” he said. “It may take longer.” Wendell Berry’s clear–sighted depiction of humanity’s gifts—love and loss, joy and despair—is seen though his intimate knowledge of the Port William Membership.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Catholic Church in the United States has reached a tipping point. The crisis is painfully visible in the sharp declines that have already taken place in many essential areas of Church life, from Catholic marriages and infant baptisms to Sunday Mass attendance and the number of priests. Meanwhile, the number of semi-active and inactive Catholics is rising, and the number of ex-Catholic "nones" is skyrocketing. What happens in the immediate future will determine how the Church in America will emerge from this crisis: a smaller but more committed body of faithful Christians or a stagnant, inward-looking remnant. The American Catholic laity must decide whether they will be passive onlookers or will choose to act. Revitalizing Catholicism in America provides nine practical action items every faithful Catholic can undertake - nine steps which, all together, will form the building blocks of a renewed Catholic subculture. No matter what your specific gift or walk of life, you have a role to play in revitalizing Catholicism in America. This book will show you how.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wake up, Christendom, before its too late! This book by scriptural reference shows the difference between the Gospel of the Kingdom versus the Gospel of the Grace of God, the Earthly ministry versus the Resurrected ministry, Pauls apostleship versus Peters, Law versus Grace, Jew versus Gentile, water baptism versus baptism of the Holy Spirit, and so much more. Many dont know where to begin when reading the Bible. This book shows you. Much of the confusion will vanish when understanding what parts of the Bible was meant for us to follow and which parts are not. All scripture is profitable. There are hundreds of scriptures used, but it still comes back to this main point. Who were the scriptures written to and for (Jew or Gentile), and who wrote them? The vast majority of Christendom preach an elusive truth, a mixed/mashed Gospel. This book shows and exposes this error by the Word of God himself. Believe in God (a god?) or believe God. There is a difference. His words are written in the King James Version of the Holy Bible.
