Book Description
"Draws from the practices of the first three centuries of the Catholic Church to provide a plan to restore the sacraments and governance of the Church to lay people's hands. [Marren] contends that the present hierarchy of the Catholic Church have disqualified themselves as leaders of the Church by their total lack of communication with the laity, their outrages against children, their failure to admit guilt or do penance for those crimes, and their arrogance in electing themselves to the posts they hold without consulting the laity. Their writ has expired. Instead of elections, which tend to divide people into warring camps, this book recommends consensus decision making, which draws on ancient Christian tradition to discern the Church's leaders. What's in this book? Church history and theology from a lay viewpoint; the first practical handbook for lay reform of the Church; a return to early Church custom before priesthood began; mass and the sacraments restored to lay celebrations; lay people returned to full membership in the Church; the groundwork laid for the popular election of bishops; the mass made widely available in the Third World; women brought to the table now as mass presiders; celibacy eliminated as a requirement for mass presiders; Vatican II's promises fulfilled for the people of God; for lay people, a long-sought control over hierarchy; [and] an indispensable "toolkit" for committed Catholics"--

A Church in Crisis: Pathways Forward
Author: Ralph Martin
Publisher: Emmaus Road Publishing
ISBN: 1949013758
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 435
Book Description
Nearly forty years ago, Ralph Martin’s bestselling A Crisis of Truth exposed the damaging trends in Catholic teaching and preaching that, combined with attacks from secular society, threatened the mission and life of the Catholic Church. While much has been done to counter false teaching over the last four decades, today the Church faces even more insidious threats—from outside and within. In A Church in Crisis: Pathways Forward, Martin offers a detailed look at the growing hostility to the Catholic Church and its teaching. With copious evidence, Martin uncovers the forces working to undermine the Body of Christ and offers hope to those looking for clarity. A Church in Crisis covers: -polarization in the Church caused by ambiguous teachings -initiatives that accommodate the culture without calling for conversion -Vatican-sponsored partnerships with organizations that actively contradict the teaching of the Catholic Church -and the recycling of theological errors long settled by Vatican II, Pope St. John Paul II, and Pope Benedict XVI. Powerfully written, A Church in Crisis reminds all readers to heed Jesus’ express command not to lead His children astray. With ample resources to encourage readers, Ralph Martin provides the solid foundation of Catholic teaching—both Scripture and Tradition—to fortify Catholics against the errors that threaten us from all directions.

Straight Talk for Crooked Church
Author: Dr. Rahsaan A. Armand
Publisher: BalboaPress
ISBN: 1452572453
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
A father once taught his son that the two things he should avoid debating are faith and politics. He was adamant that his son avoids political arguments, citing that no one ever wins them because people are passionately stubborn about the powers that represent them. Concerning matters of faith, his father offered the same counsel, claiming people are equally as passionate about the “higher power(s)” they represent. In Straight Talk, against his father’s advice, the author dives into both arguments. Within is a conversation for theocracy over democracy and God’s Will over man’s way. In Straight Talk For Crooked Church, Pastor Armand arms the reader with an awareness of the Divine Design for Church. This read will undoubtedly tear down obstacles that hinder churches from being and functioning as God’s intended Bride. This book is not a vaccination against the challenges of Church leadership or Church scandal. It serves, however, as a kind of blueprint churches need to stand upright and be strong. While critics of the Church are leery of so-called “Jesus freaks,” Straight Talk seeks to correct any misinterpretations about the Church by painting an accurate picture of the Body of Christ, along with its functions, as they were originally intended by its Architect, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Book Description
Until we understand what Jesus accomplished on the cross, we will not understand the Christian faith. God is holy, so He cannot simply overlook our sin. That means we all stand condemned before His righteous judgment. In order to find deliverance from the wrath we deserve, we must look to the Savior who has paid the penalty of sin for those who trust in Him. In this book, Dr. R.C. Sproul surveys the Bible's teaching about the cross of Christ and the grace of God in redeeming His people.

Treason
Author: Ann Coulter
Publisher: Crown Forum
ISBN: 1400050324
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 370
Book Description
“Liberals’ loyalty to the United States is off-limits as a subject of political debate. Why is the relative patriotism of the two parties the only issue that is out of bounds for rational discussion?” In a stunning follow-up to her number one bestseller Slander, leading conservative pundit Ann Coulter contends that liberals have been wrong on every foreign policy issue, from the fight against Communism at home and abroad, the Nixon and the Clinton presidencies, and the struggle with the Soviet empire right up to today’s war on terrorism. “Liberals have a preternatural gift for always striking a position on the side of treason,” says Coulter. “Everyone says liberals love America, too. No, they don’t.” From Truman to Kennedy to Carter to Clinton, America has contained, appeased, and retreated, often sacrificing America’s best interests and security. With the fate of the world in the balance, liberals should leave the defense of the nation to conservatives. Reexamining the sixty-year history of the Cold War and beyond—including the career of Senator Joseph McCarthy, the Whittaker Chambers–Alger Hiss affair, Ronald Reagan’s challenge to Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down this wall,” the Gulf War, and our present war on terrorism—Coulter reveals how liberals have been horribly wrong in all their political analyses and policy prescriptions. McCarthy, exonerated by the Venona Papers if not before, was basically right about Soviet agents working for the U.S. government. Hiss turned out to be a high-ranking Soviet spy (who consulted Roosevelt at Yalta). Reagan, ridiculed throughout his presidency, ended up winning the Cold War. And George W. Bush, also an object of ridicule, has performed exceptionally in responding to America’s newest threats at home and abroad. Coulter, who in Slander exposed a liberal bias in today’s media, also examines how history, especially in the latter half of the twentieth century, has been written by liberals and, therefore, distorted by their perspective. Far from being irrelevant today, her clearheaded and piercing view of what we’ve been through informs us perfectly for challenges today and in the future. With Slander, Ann Coulter became the most recognized and talked-about conservative intellectual of the year. Treason, in many ways an even more controversial and prescient book, will ignite impassioned political debate at one of the most crucial moments in our history.
