Book Synopsis The Hound of Heaven at My Heels by : Robert G. Waldron
Download or read book The Hound of Heaven at My Heels written by Robert G. Waldron and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a poignant and inspiring story about the great poet Francis Thompson. Addicted to opium as a young man and reduced to homelessness on the streets of London, the poet, in a last effort to regenerate himself, sends to the editor of a Catholic monthly samples of his writing. Months pass before the editor reads the soiled manuscript; he immediately perceives its genius and sets out to find the young poet but to no avail. He publishes the poetry in the hopes that Thompson will contact him. The Hound of Heaven at My Heels is a fictional reconstruction of the poet's lost diary; it is a heart-breaking and soul-lifting account of his spiritual, psychological, and physical regeneration. It is the story of a young man who finally finds his soul and his vocation.

Book Synopsis Metanoia: A Catholic Book Series, Book Number Three: Vocation: Common Priest by Baptism by : Cecil Donald Leighton, Jr.
Download or read book Metanoia: A Catholic Book Series, Book Number Three: Vocation: Common Priest by Baptism written by Cecil Donald Leighton, Jr. and published by Cecil Donald Leighton, Jr.. This book was released on 2023-09-23 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metanoia: A Catholic Book Series, Book Number Three: Vocation: Common Priest by Baptism is the author’s third publication in a series of Catholic books. In Vocation: Common Priest by Baptism, the author sets forth his personal experience in discerning whether Jesus Christ is calling him to share or participate in The Eternal Priesthood of Christ, as a common priest by Baptism or as a ministerial priest by Holy Orders. In answering this question, the author recounts 25 years of priestly misidentifications and associations made by strangers, parishioners, family, friends, and neighbors, connecting them with the irrevocable and inseparable gifts and call of a true Catholic priest (i.e., Sacerdote alter Christus). He is publishing this book in hopes that other Catholic men formally in discernment may find it instructive. Finally, this book is part of the author’s lay apostolate of Roman Catholic witness to the reality, power, and transforming/saving love of God, as well as the author’s response to and promotion of the Church’s “universal call to holiness” (Lumen Gentium) and the “new evangelization” (Novo Millenio Ineunte), in the electronically and globally connected virtual world of the Internet.
Book Synopsis Enlightenment by : Robert Lindsay Wells
Download or read book Enlightenment written by Robert Lindsay Wells and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-06-25 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of poetry and essays explores the enlightenment experience both before and after. The poetry takes us on a journey through the breadth of our human condition. There is beauty, and there is ugliness. But through it all, there are those special moments when we glimpse a higher reality. The images and metaphors are meant to inspire us to see beyond the illusion of the world and understand the universal way. The essays look directly at enlightenment using plain language, not poetic imagery. We discuss what it takes to live as enlightened beings, the mistakes that can trap us, and the good choices that allow us to advance within ourselves and make a difference in the world. Living our enlightenment is the secret to staying on the path and helping others find their own enlightenment.
Download or read book Chosen written by Donna Steichen and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2009-09-15 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twenty-three men and women who tell their conversion stories in these pages were not drawn to the Church by sound evangelization programs, beautiful buildings and liturgies, or saintly witnesses among the clergy. On the contrary, many of them were attracted to Catholicism in spite of a now decades-long stretch of deficient catechesis, mediocre Masses, and uninspiring leadership. Christ himself led these souls to his Church, concludes editor Donna Steichen, who compiled this consoling collection, and it is the Lord who set them to work replanting his devastated vineyard. "Despite their marked differences in origin, education, and field of service," writes Steichen, "each one makes it clear that it is Christ who did the choosing. They testify that Christ touched their hearts and intervened in their lives in unexpected, sometimes even miraculous, ways."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world breaks everyone, but in the end some are stronger at all the broken places Ernest Hemingway Successor to the finest tradition of Hemingway and Tom Wolfe, come along with a brilliant new American author, one of the most prominent plastic surgeons of his time, as he plumbs life from cruising altitude to crush depth. Dubbed a world-class medical prodigy by the media of the day, he explores the darkness and traverses the ugliness and pain of all the broken places, discovering healing, renewal, and the daylight of restoration. Much more than a high-powered cosmetic surgeons Trump Tower tell-all, this is one of the most inspiring and spiritually exhilarating memoirs of our generation. A revolutionary Christian manifesto for a broken world, an explosive Pilgrims Progress for Generation Next, chronicling a modern prodigal son lost in a far country, wasting his substance in riotous living. An elitist, Ivy-covered, modern-day pilgrim who rises rocket fast, spiraling downward to crash and burn, and, finally, in abysmal desperation, finding timeless redemption, the Promised Land, and, ultimately, the only real hope for humankind: the Eternal Anchor for the Soul. It is the spellbinding journey the world has been waiting to hear for nearly four decades. The ultimate millennial playbook for success, healing, and hope that can change your life forever. No matter what you are going through today, you will turn the last page emboldened and ennobled, knowing in your heart that somehow it has been written just for you, sensing that life need never be the same.
Book Synopsis The Resounding Soul by : Samuel Kimbriel
Download or read book The Resounding Soul written by Samuel Kimbriel and published by James Clarke & Company. This book was released on 2016-09-29 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is surely not coincidental that the term 'soul' should mean not only the centre of a creature's life and consciousness, but also a thing or action characterised by intense vivacity ('that bike's got soul!'). It also seems far from coincidental that the same contemporary academic discussions that have largely cast aside the language of 'soul' in their quest to define the character of human mental life should themselves be so bloodless, or so lacking in soul. The Resounding Soul arises from the opposite premise: that the task of understanding human nature is bound up with the more critical task of learning to be fully human. The papers collected here are derived from a conference in Oxford sponsored by the Centre of Theology and Philosophy and explore the often surprising landscape that emerges when human consciousness is approached from this angle. Drawing upon literary, philosophical, theological, historical, and musical modes of analysis, these essays remind the reader of the power of the ancient language of soul over against contemporary impulses to reduce, fragment, and overly determine human selfhood.

Book Synopsis C. S. Lewis and the Catholic Church by : Joseph Pearce
Download or read book C. S. Lewis and the Catholic Church written by Joseph Pearce and published by TAN Books. This book was released on 2013 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C. S. Lewis, the great British novelist and Christian apologist, has been credited by many-including the author-for aiding their journey to the Catholic Church. For this reason, it is often perplexing that Lewis himself never became Catholic. In C. S. Lewis and the Catholic Church, Joseph Pearce delves into Lewis's life, writings, and spiritual influences to shed light on the matter. Although C. S. Lewis's conversion to Christianity was greatly influenced by J. R. R. Tolkien, a Catholic, and although Lewis embraced many distinctively Catholic teachings, such as purgatory and the sacrament of Confession, he never formally entered the Church. Meticulously researched and beautifully written, this book digs deep to present the facts of Lewis's life, to illuminate key points in his writings, and to ask the question: Was C. S. Lewis on the path to Rome? This revised and updated edition-with a new introduction by Father Dwight Longenecker-is a fascinating historical, biographical, theological, and literary account of a man whose writings have led scores to the Catholic Church, despite never having become a Catholic himself.
Book Synopsis In the Galway Silence by : Ken Bruen
Download or read book In the Galway Silence written by Ken Bruen and published by Grove Press. This book was released on 2018-11-13 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Best Mystery of the Year: A hard-drinking detective deals with double murder and an elusive vigilante. After much tragedy and violence, Jack Taylor has at long last landed at contentment. Of course, he still knocks back too much Jameson and dabbles in uppers, but he has a new woman in his life, a freshly bought apartment, and little sign of trouble on the horizon—until a wealthy Frenchman comes to him with a request to investigate the double murder of his twin sons. Jack is meanwhile roped into looking after his girlfriend’s nine-year-old, and is in for a shock with the appearance of a character out of his past. The plot is one big chess game and all of the pieces seem to be moving at the behest of one dangerously mysterious player: a vigilante called “Silence,” because he’s the last thing his victims will ever hear. This new novel filled with suspense and pitch-dark humor comes from a Shamus Award-winning author who’s been called “hard to resist, with his aching Irish heart, silvery tongue, and bleak noir sensibility” (TheNew York Times Book Review). “The Godfather of the modern Irish crime novel.”—Irish Independent
Book Synopsis The Second Mountain by : David Brooks
Download or read book The Second Mountain written by David Brooks and published by Random House Trade Paperbacks. This book was released on 2020-05-26 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Everybody tells you to live for a cause larger than yourself, but how exactly do you do it? The author of The Road to Character explores what it takes to lead a meaningful life in a self-centered world. “Deeply moving, frequently eloquent and extraordinarily incisive.”—The Washington Post Every so often, you meet people who radiate joy—who seem to know why they were put on this earth, who glow with a kind of inner light. Life, for these people, has often followed what we might think of as a two-mountain shape. They get out of school, they start a career, and they begin climbing the mountain they thought they were meant to climb. Their goals on this first mountain are the ones our culture endorses: to be a success, to make your mark, to experience personal happiness. But when they get to the top of that mountain, something happens. They look around and find the view . . . unsatisfying. They realize: This wasn’t my mountain after all. There’s another, bigger mountain out there that is actually my mountain. And so they embark on a new journey. On the second mountain, life moves from self-centered to other-centered. They want the things that are truly worth wanting, not the things other people tell them to want. They embrace a life of interdependence, not independence. They surrender to a life of commitment. In The Second Mountain, David Brooks explores the four commitments that define a life of meaning and purpose: to a spouse and family, to a vocation, to a philosophy or faith, and to a community. Our personal fulfillment depends on how well we choose and execute these commitments. Brooks looks at a range of people who have lived joyous, committed lives, and who have embraced the necessity and beauty of dependence. He gathers their wisdom on how to choose a partner, how to pick a vocation, how to live out a philosophy, and how we can begin to integrate our commitments into one overriding purpose. In short, this book is meant to help us all lead more meaningful lives. But it’s also a provocative social commentary. We live in a society, Brooks argues, that celebrates freedom, that tells us to be true to ourselves, at the expense of surrendering to a cause, rooting ourselves in a neighborhood, binding ourselves to others by social solidarity and love. We have taken individualism to the extreme—and in the process we have torn the social fabric in a thousand different ways. The path to repair is through making deeper commitments. In The Second Mountain, Brooks shows what can happen when we put commitment-making at the center of our lives.

Book Synopsis A Precious Fountain by : Mary E. McGann
Download or read book A Precious Fountain written by Mary E. McGann and published by Liturgical Press. This book was released on 2015-11-20 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Precious Fountain is a work of liturgical ethnography that probes the rich liturgical life of one worshiping community whose roots and practices are at once Black and Catholic, using music as a primary lens through which to explore the community's liturgy and embodied theology. Our Lady of Lourdes community in San Francisco is part of a larger event in the American church: the emergence of a new paradigm of Catholic worship, one that is "authentically Black and truly Catholic." Mary E. McGann, RSCJ, describes how the music worship of Our Lady of Lourdes in San Francisco not only enriches that community but also is an example of how a theology of music is practiced in that parish. She offers this new genre of liturgical literature that brings to light how God's Spirit is working in the churches through the idioms, perceptions, and insights of specific ethno-cultural communities in this time of massive cultural change and globalization. Mary E. McGann, RSCJ, PhD, is assistant professor of liturgy and music at the Franciscan School of Theology at Berkeley. She is the author of Exploring Music as Worship and Theology and co-author with Edward Foley, Capuchin, of Music in the Eucharistic Prayer published by Liturgical Press.
