Falling Upward, Revised and Updated
An update to the bestselling Falling Upward from Franciscan Father Richard Rohr In the revised and updated edition of Falling Upward, Richard Rohr seeks to help readers come to terms with the two halves of life. In this book, Rohr teaches us that we can't understand the meaning of "up" until we have fallen "down." More importantly, Rohr describes what "up" can look like in the second half of life. Most of us tend to think of the second half of life in chronological terms, but this book proposes a different paradigm. Spiritual maturity is found "when we begin to pay attention and seek integrity" through a shift from our "outer task" to the "inner task." What looks like falling down can be experienced as falling upward--and is not necessarily connected with aging. This new edition focuses on practical guidance that you can use to live a life of love and meaning in a world of suffering and challenge. Falling Upward is an invitation to living the gospel and a call to ongoing transformation. Gain a spiritual perspective on the "the common sequencing, staging, and direction of life's arc" and learn how to bring forth your gifts in the second half of life Grapple with difficult feelings, fears, and emotions associated with "great love and great suffering" Learn how we "grow spiritually much more by doing it wrong than by doing it right" Understand why so many of us resist falling into the second half of life Readers of Rohrs previous works and those new to the remarkable teachings of this Franciscan priest will find comfort and inspiration in this guide to lifelong spiritual growth.

Soul-Less Society
In "Soul-Less Society," Angeline Marie delivers a passionate wake-up call to Americans by exploring the spiritual battle behind our nation's decline from prosperity to moral decay. Drawing on biblical principles and extensive research, she exposes the systematic dismantling of Christian values that once formed America's foundation. From government overreach and banking corruption to media manipulation and educational indoctrination, Marie traces how globalist elites have orchestrated America's spiritual and cultural collapse-not merely as political strategy, but as spiritual warfare. She uncovers concerning connections between international organizations, technological surveillance, and the push toward a new world order that threatens individual freedoms. With unflinching analysis, Marie examines controversial topics including abortion, gender ideology, the pandemic response, and China's growing influence, arguing that all are symptoms of a society that has rejected God. Yet despite the bleak assessment, the book concludes with a message of hope and spiritual empowerment, providing readers with biblical strategies to reclaim their nation through faith. Both a political commentary and spiritual guidebook, "Soul-Less Society" challenges readers to recognize the true nature of America's conflicts and reclaim their nation through prayer, biblical principles, and informed civic engagement. A rallying cry for Christians to become active in preserving religious freedom and traditional values before it's too late.

NEAR AWAKENING and The Value of Life
"He asked if I was all settled in; although he meant settled into my accommodations, I took it to also mean settled in to meditate-ready to settle the mind into concentration. Always look for the double meaning." As a young adult, Quinn McDonald sought to understand the nature of truth: is there a singular universal truth, or does truth vary from person to person? Unsatisfied with the lack of answers in her hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba, she ventured to Thailand to seek enlightenment as a Buddhist nun. Over the next thirteen years, she would receive teachings from the most prolific leaders in Buddhism and journey across the world on her path to near awakening. As she studies and meditates, she must overcome obstacles both mental and physical: from splitting with her partner when they ordain at separate monasteries to having an infection cut out of her with no anaesthetic, Quinn's path to the truth is a long and arduous one. But through the friends she makes and the teachers she connects with, she learns to decipher the teachings of the Buddha and apply them to her life, bringing her closer to understanding the nature of the world.
Cradled in the Arms of Compassion
Selected as one of the Best Spiritual Books of 2023 by Spirituality and Practice"This is an amazing book that I couldn't put down once I started it. -Richard Schwartz, PhD, developer of the Internal Family Systems model"You were like this once. What did you do to get better?" A day out from a mental institution, a woman devastated by flashbacks from childhood trauma poses this question to her big brother. Within a few weeks, she took her own life. This book is the answer that her brother wished he could have offered.Spiritual director and professor Frank Rogers had been there. As a young adult, he too was tormented by trauma suffered in the same family. Wracked by depression, he was on the cliff edge of suicide. From intense despair, he set off on a quest--for answers, for sanity, for a credible God to see him through. Cradled in the Arms of Compassion is at once a narrative of psychological transformation and a spiritual autobiography that details the survivor's journey. Rogers shows how he found recovery through a combination of reflective retreats, therapy, creative expression, and an extraordinary application of imaginative meditation that spiritual seekers and practitioners will find utterly fascinating. The ensuing discovery evolved into the uniquely self-restorative process known as the Compassion Practice.Frank Rogers' account reveals that a compassionate sacred presence sustains this wounded world, and that this presence can be known, even in the sewers of life's most damaging traumas.One of the few male accounts of childhood sexual abuse and fewer still that charts a spiritual course for the transformation of trauma."Like all good memoir, Cradled in the Arms of Compassion has a robust narrative engine-the reader is led along, page-by-page, with questions, curiosities, and a desire to see what 'happens next.'" -Spirituality and Practice

Retrieving the Spiritual Teaching of Jesus
This volume directs attention to the teaching of Jesus; it introduces the question of how the imagination has to work in order to retrieve the teaching of Jesus and apply it to actual life in our day. Teachers and preachers are engaged in this work all the time, but upon examination it involves a process that bears reflection. We live in a world that is so different from the world in which Jesus taught that many ask about its practicability relative to our complex everyday lives. The volume turns to three authors who work at this, have thought through present-day theory of interpretation, and respond to basic questions that explain the adjustments that allow us to apply Jesus' teaching to our dilemmas with interpretation that remain faithful to the content that he proposed. Sandra Schneiders turns to modern hermeneutics, the theory of interpretation, and explains what is going on in the human mind that allows us to say that present-day interpretation, while different from Jesus because our "worlds" are different, corresponds to what Jesus communicated in the past relative to his world. William Spohn pushes the same idea further to concrete examples of how analogy, sameness and difference together, both binds the imagination to Jesus and frees us to see new relevance for Jesus' actual teaching. And Lisa Sowle Cahill takes the spirit of the other two into the social order to show how Jesus' teaching has a real relevance for the highly complex societies in which we live today. The logics of these three authors offer models for what is going on in all of the Past Light on Present Life volumes as they represent different historical periods and distinct themes in Western Christian spirituality.
From the Monastery to the City
This volume brings together texts of the twelfth-century Hildegard of Bingen and the early-thir-teenth-century Francis of Assisi to represent religious spirituality after the Gregorian Reform and just prior to or simultaneous with the formation of universities in Western Europe. In an extraordinary way, Hildegard embodies monastic theology and spirituality and provides a contrast to the new thing that would be created with the study of theology in the new Aristotelian idiom of the universities. But equally in contrast to the Benedictine Hildegard, the thirteenth century witnessed a renewed enthusiasm for a more literal following of Christ in a life of penitence and poverty. This is a life of dependence, not on a superior and enclosed community but on the compassion of society at large. Francis would join this movement on his own terms, attract a following, and gradually formulate a spirituality that sent signals of the need to reform individual lives and the institutions of the Church. These two authors, then, are not joined here because of any shared similarity but to help illustrate two quite different spiritualities that animated the lively European twelfth and thirteenth centuries.

The Shape of Matthew’s Story
The Gospel of Matthew, like the other Gospels, is a story. The narrative nature of Matthew's account of the life of Jesus unfolds as a plotted sequence of words and events, beginning with his birth and closing with his presence to the disciples as their risen Lord. The location of any single passage within the flow of the unfolding story is a major guide to understanding this Gospel. Matthew is best known for his account of the birth of Jesus (Matt 1--2); Peter's recognition of Jesus as the Son of Man, the Son of God (16:13-20); and the final commission of all the disciples to preach the gospel to all nations (28:16-28). But where do these famous passages appear in the story? What preceded them and what follows? The first Gospel famously highlights five major discourses, during which only Jesus speaks. How do they contribute to Matthew's story of the life of Jesus? The Shape of Matthew's Story focuses upon the temporal and geographical flow of the unfolding narrative, and the interacting roles of the protagonists within it. It traces an early Christian storyteller's single-minded presentation of God, Jesus Christ, the call to discipleship, and the Christian Church. Endorsements: "Throughout his long and productive career, Fr. Francis Moloney has published many works of serious scholarship along with books that address the general public. His ability to speak clearly and intelligently on both levels, often at the same time, is truly remarkable. The Shape of Matthew's Story is a prime example of his making academic research available to the educated laity." --John P. Meier, University of Notre Dame "In typical Moloney fashion, The Shape of Matthew's Story delivers an accessible, insightful, and lucid introduction to the first Gospel. Students and clergy alike will benefit from Moloney's careful attention to the narrative, historical, and theological concerns of the text." --Kelly Iverson, Baylor University "Employing considerable skills as narrative critic, Francis Moloney offers a compelling account of Matthew's story of the Messiah, from birth to death and beyond. With Moloney as reliable guide, Matthew's complex yet profound narrative emerges from the page, inviting the reader into a community of disciples that is taught by Jesus." --Ian Boxall, University of Oxford Francis J. Moloney, SDB, is a graduate of the Pontifical Biblical Institute and the University of Oxford. He was Dean of the School of Theology and Religious Studies and Professor of New Testament at the Catholic University of America (1999-2005). Now in semi-retirement, he is a senior professorial fellow of Catholic Theological College, within the University of Divinity, Melbourne, Australia. +

Effacing the Self
In spirituality and mysticism, many seek a counterbalance to the strong emphasis on the self that modernity demands of us: We desire a fixed self on the one hand and are fascinated by selflessness on the other. But is our fascination with selflessness not a ruse to make that self of ours even stronger? And is that self-critical question not the kernel of even traditional mysticism? Marc De Kesel investigates some dark rooms of the mystical tradition to clarify this. This is a book for all who want to free themselves from the conceptual frameworks and rigid dogmas of late-modern religiosity.The first part of the volume deals directly with early modern Christian mysticism, and more specifically with the French spiritualit矇 and discussions centered around the problem of what it means to love God in a pure, radically unselfish way. The second part explores the paradoxical dialectics between self and selflessness in relation to the way Christian religion deals with its own identity. If Christian love is selfless, why has Christianity in the end not given up its own self, its own identity? The third and last part of the volume discusses the dialectics between self and selflessness in three other domains: popular spirituality, politics, and modern science. It makes clear that "selflessness" is not limited to mysticism but is both a fascination and a problem/paradox for modernity in many fields.

Keys to the Kingdom II
Keys to the Kingdom II reveals the hidden prophecies in the Bible by reimagining the scriptures. Keys II challenges the traditional view or interpretation of both Genesis and Revelation, by engaging ancient astrology and the Bible Numeric. What emerges is a new truth in which Adam is not the first man God created. This assertion only confirms the overwhelming evidence of the earliest humanoids existence on Earth, as there is a long fossil record which predates Adam by a million years or more. Evolutionist vs. Creationist argument has raged for over a hundred years, with either side satisfied with the others explanation. There is nothing wrong with the Bible, what is problematic is man's interpretation of the text, which early church fathers and theologians never consider Earth's long anthropological, archeological, and astrological past. By revealing the ancient astrology, which is hidden in plain sight, Revelation's apocalyptic code is finally cracked. What is revealed is seventy to eighty percent of the Book of Revelation has already happened. Biblical prophecy is real and trustworthy, as this terminal generation will continue to experience a number of unprecedented hardships and disasters, as the fulfillment of End of Days prophecies are now upon the world.

Building Windows Into Men's Souls
Few of us in England now go to church, but most of us wonder where we came from, who we are and where we're going when we die. Or as Paul Gaugin once said, 'D'o羅 venons-nous? Qui sommes-nous? O羅 allons-nous?' I will always be grateful to my wife for sending me on this odyssey, and I hope my experiences will interest church goers and others alike, and especially children setting out in life and studying religion at school. There are many different Christian faiths, and all of them give us pause for thought.

The answer to every problem is the ability to SEE the answer; the REVELATION, revealed knowledge of God, and then WALK IT OUT!Let me help you to see through the EYES of MY UNDERSTANDING, being ENLIGHTENED, through step by step instructions given me on my journey to the promise. It is a PROCESS AND EVERY STEP IS CRUCIAL! Whatever your journey is, let God allow me to help take you there; so you can OVERCOME by the blood of the Lamb and the words of MY TESTIMONIES (REV. 12:11). When you are strengthened, GO and strengthen you bretheren. (Luke 22:32)

The Practice of the Presence of God
This devotional classic is a compilation of Brother Lawrence's letters and recorded conversations from the seventeenth century. Brother Lawrence was a simple French Carmelite lay brother who was able to achieve profound intimacy with God through the most mundane activities. He taught that the highest communion with God is not reserved for extraordinary moments but permeates the very core of our most ordinary days. He spent much of his time in the kitchen of a Paris monastery. He learned that our daily activities and thoughts could be acts of worship, engaging in opportunities to "practice the presence of God" by thinking about and loving God. Also included is Brother Lawrence's "Spiritual Maxims," a collection of aphorisms and sayings that summarize his teachings. This timeless spiritual treasure has illuminated the hearts of many who yearn for the awe-inspiring knowledge of the divine presence in a hectic modern world. Features a foreword by Matthew Fox, author of Sheer Joy.

Your Path Led through the Sea
Your Path Led through the Sea chronicles a journey from shallow to deep waters, from quiet ponds and trickling streams to roaring rivers, thundering falls, and storm-tossed seas, which aim to bring the reader into a deeper spiritual understanding of life's tempests and storms from which flow those rivers of living water, deeper intimacy with God. Many Scripture references, hymns, and the insights of noted Christian authors, like light dancing on the surface of the deep, are scattered throughout these pages. If you choose to dive in, you will learn how God chooses to still the storm, to walk with you over boisterous waves, or, like Peter, draw you up and out of them. Even if God's path should lead you through the sea, his way through the mighty waters, he will part them, and you will not have to walk through them alone.
Seven Letters Detailing The Prophetic Framework of the Return of Christ
FIRST AND FOREMOST, THIS BOOK is an experience and inspirational writ-ing from the author revealing a faith and a hope for the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It reflects an intensive study in biblical prophecy and a layman's look at the world's current state. Comprised of inspira-tional writings and seven letters, the contents detail the phenomenon of Israel's restoration after almost 2,000 years of nonexistence.The questions for the Church are: - Why has Israel been restored?- What wisdom can we learn from a biblical perspective?We, as Christians, cast Israel aside, failing to take in the new wine that God is pouring out of his Spirit. This book concentrates on the error of our oversight, an error that will bring, at last, the victorious Lord as the redemptive Messiah for Israel...His chosen nation.After the Church is taken up in the rapture for those who do believe, a church to whom Jesus says "I never knew you" is left behind to prove their faith and allegiance to God and God only. All the details are in the Scrip-tures, and this book is dedicated to bringing these ancient words from the past to show the power of God in declaring the future to his glory!
