Book Description
This is a simple booklet written by an experienced spiritual director in the Ignatian tradition of spirituality. Each piece of scripture is a divine love-note in which God is trying to get across to you the great truth that you are endlessly loved. To discover this to be true for yourself is to find the treasure hidden in the field of your heart. On the right page you find a statement from God, turned around a little to make it personal to yourself. On the opposite page is a short dialogue with God, which explores how God goes about things. You will be surprised and hugely enriched: you will smile more!

Book Description
Book Description Bestselling author and developer of The Lifeline Technique, Dr. Darren R. Weissman, with B.T. Brunelle, has taken his empowering program for adults, and interpreted it into a fun and exciting lesson book for children. As a parent, doctor and teacher, Darren feels that it is never too soon to introduce young people to the idea that they are unique, creative and resourceful individuals, with the innate ability to generate the positive results that they desire in their lives, such as good health, success and happiness. Every lesson is written in the form of a rhyming poem, accompanied by a colorful and expressive illustration. Each chapter leads to another important and meaningful message for children, to help carry them through their daily activities with self-confidence and self-esteem. The power of positive words and intentions is delivered in an entertaining and memorable way. Rich language, and vibrant images by George Milo Buck, make every page come alive. Following the 20 lessons, there is a section for review, which encourages participation and discussions. With clear examples, suggestions and questions that young people can answer, it is designed to help them connect these ideas to their own lives, and recognize how caring, capable, wise and wonderful they truly are. The Daily Lessons of Infinite Love and Gratitude is a book that will bring enhancement to any classroom, library and home, where children and adults are sharing the joy of reading, learning and growing!

Book Description
The author of Desiring God reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Includes a study guide for individual and small-group use. Isn’t it true—we really don’t know someone until we understand what makes that person happy? And so it is with God! What does bring delight to the happiest Being in the universe? John Piper writes, that it’s only when we know what makes God glad that we’ll know the greatness of His glory. Therefore, we must comprehend “the pleasures of God.” Unlike so much of what is written today, this is not a book about us. It is about the One we were made for—God Himself. In this theological masterpiece—chosen by World Magazine as one of the 20th Century’s top 100 books, John Piper reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Then we will be able to drink deeply—and satisfyingly—from the only well that offers living water. What followers of Jesus need now, more than anything else, is to know and love—behold and embrace—the great, glorious, sovereign, happy God of the Bible. “This is a unique and precious book that everybody should read more than once.” —J.I.

Book Description
Stop spinning your spiritual hamster wheel. Start living in the limitless love of God. Many of us go through life thinking and acting as though we can somehow, in some way, earn God’s love and favor. If only we do this, or that, or both, or more, God just might offer us at least a small bit of Divine approval or acceptance. Eventually realizing the impossibility of “getting right” with God through our own efforts, and tired of futilely going ’round and ’round in spiritual circles, we may even be inclined to permanently turn away from the Divine. In Just as You Are, Paul Coutinho, SJ, helps us move forward in the confidence that God already loves us and simply asks that we embrace this amazing love and live in it on a daily basis. A native of India, Fr. Coutinho combines Eastern sensibilities with Ignatian principles and practices to show us how to open our lives—now and always—to the infinite, unfathomable love of God. Filled with thought-provoking stories, inspiring anecdotes, and memorable metaphors, Just as You Are makes clear that experiencing the joy and freedom of the Divine journey is the only “work” we need to do. Being in love with the Divine is God’s gift that is always available to anyone who is looking for it. We have all had a taste of Divine love and our spirits hunger for more. But then other voices muffle the unconditional gift of Divine love—voices that speak of fear, guilt, anxiety, and unworthiness. Falling in love with God begins with an infatuation that penetrates those negative voices, and we respond to this either by being more and more attracted to the Divine or we are repulsed by the experience. We come closer or we fight to get away. In either case our focus is the Divine energy that is drawing us to itself. The Divine seducer never gives up but continues to draw us in many different ways to a deeper union and communion with the Ultimate. But when all is said and done, the falling in love will be up to you. So if you really have the will to experience life as one who is in love with the Divine, it will happen. If you want it, you’ll find it. In fact, love will find you.Are you willing? Are you ready?

Book Description
This book may be said to approach the conveying of the truth of the Catholic faith to newcomers on the basis of the Creeds that have stood the test of time. In the final analysis conviction and conversion are the work of the Holy Spirit, the spirit of Divine Love! Therein lies a process of growth in which the goal is to be "an aroma of Christ for God's sake" (St. Paul). Conversion is like the growth of a flower in which we rejoice when we see it in full bloom. However without being rooted in good soil and nourished it will die. Therein lies the importance and value of a catechesis and the emphasis on the Creed which has survived the onslaughts of two millennia.
