Book Description
No one can write about storytelling like Father Bill Bausch. Both his words and his stories are compelling, convincing, and completely absorbing. Here in this landmark work, which he insists is his last, his goal is to help readers see the centrality of stories, to read and hear Scripture as story and not as history, and to learn to enrich and expand their lives by looking at the ?story behind the story.? He wants to break readers out of the literalism that constricts their spiritual and social lives, so they might gain an appreciation of metaphor and symbol and the ?sacramentality? of the world.

Book Description
What story would Eve have told about picking the apple? Why is Pandora blamed for opening the box? And what about the fate of Cassandra who was blessed with knowing the future but cursed so that no one believed her? What if women had been the storytellers? Elizabeth Lesser believes that if women’s voices had been equally heard and respected throughout history, humankind would have followed different hero myths and guiding stories—stories that value caretaking, champion compassion, and elevate communication over vengeance and violence. Cassandra Speaks is about the stories we tell and how those stories become the culture. It’s about the stories we still blindly cling to, and the ones that cling to us: the origin tales, the guiding myths, the religious parables, the literature and films and fairy tales passed down through the centuries about women and men, power and war, sex and love, and the values we live by. Stories written mostly by men with lessons and laws for all of humanity. We have outgrown so many of them, and still they endure. This book is about what happens when women are the storytellers too—when we speak from our authentic voices, when we flex our values, when we become protagonists in the tales we tell about what it means to be human. Lesser has walked two main paths in her life—the spiritual path and the feminist one—paths that sometimes cross but sometimes feel at cross-purposes. Cassandra Speaks is her extraordinary merging of the two. The bestselling author of Broken Open and Marrow, Lesser is a beloved spiritual writer, as well as a leading feminist thinker. In this book she gives equal voice to the cool water of her meditative self and the fire of her feminist self. With her trademark gifts of both humor and insight, she offers a vision that transcends the either/or ideologies on both sides of the gender debate. Brilliantly structured into three distinct parts, Part One explores how history is carried forward through the stories a culture tells and values, and what we can do to balance the scales. Part Two looks at women and power and expands what it means to be courageous, daring, and strong. And Part Three offers “A Toolbox for Inner Strength.” Lesser argues that change in the culture starts with inner change, and that no one—woman or man—is immune to the corrupting influence of power. She provides inner tools to help us be both strong-willed and kind-hearted. Cassandra Speaks is a beautifully balanced synthesis of storytelling, memoir, and cultural observation. Women, men and all people will find themselves in the pages of this book, and will come away strengthened, opened, and ready to work together to create a better world for all people.

Book Description
What Treasures Are Hidden in the Enchanted Woods? More than just bedtime traditions, more than simple children’s literature, the most enduring stories are echoes of the greatest of all stories, the Gospel. God of the Fairy Tale is a collection of spiritual reflections on the truths found in classic fairy tales, truths that point us to the ultimate Truth about God, redemption, and ourselves. Delving into twenty classic folk and fairy tales, God of the Fairy Tale leads us into the mystical landscape of elves, goblins, and talking animals to reveal the jewels of truth that hide inside these most simple of stories. Through the fables of Snow White, Cinderella, Hansel and Gretel, and many others, we discover a perspective not unlike that of the Bible–a world of people trying to be something more, questing to do good in a realm fraught with evil, where a turn of the tables leaves the strong defeated and the weak victorious. Each tale is presented along with a meditation on the spiritual and theological themes present. God of the Fairy Tale will warm your heart with a world of characters, creatures, and circumstances that spin an entertaining yarn and affirm the most essential Christian worldviews.

Book Description
The Greatest Story Ever Told - Joseph J Randazzo Executive Producer, Director and Writer has spent over 50 years in research and study on “The Jesus of Nazareth Subject Matter” of foretold prophecy, the life and teaching of Jesus, the Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus and the supernatural miraculous spiritual ability of Jesus witness by thousands. The Holy Scriptures contain over 300 prophecies about foretelling for centuries of a future Messiah, the anointed one, who would come upon the earth and present great teachings of truth from the Kingdom of GOD. The historic Christmas birth of Jesus in Bethlehem then set the date of our calendars. The Jesus birth, life, death, resurrection and ascension are the very best documented events in ancient history. In the beginning times GOD created male and female, Adan and Eve, to start humanity on the earth. However, the evil one, Satan, temped and deceived GODs new humans and the male and female fell into original sin – disobedience to GOD the creator. Thus, all the children from Adam and Eve as a civilization over thousands of years would carry this original sin and not be allowed into the Kingdom of GOD. This fabulous story says a visitor from afar is sent by GOD the Father in the heavens, instructing His first-born Son, Jesus, to go on a special force mission to earth and seed the truth of righteousness and spiritual connectiveness that GOD provided humankind as a birthright being held as ransom and hostage by the evil one. Jesus arrives on earth as a baby, born of flesh and blood though His Mother Mary. About the age of 30, Jesus starts his mission by redefining laws of Mosses and teaches His new loving spiritual laws of what is called “The Beatitudes”, and more. In order for Jesus to finally set the record straight, and free humankind from the original sin held as a trophy by the evil one.
