Book Description
Hammers and nails pulsate as the carpenter and my large family turn this former Priest’s house on Greenwich Bay into a year-round residence. When an aging altar boy shows up on our doorstep, we discover the unique history of our Blessed House and neighborhood. Now, we know that Divine Spirits have been pouring their healing and nurturing blessings on our family as we struggled through job loss, past childhood pain, divorce and emotional crisis. I know where my inspiration comes from as I quahog in front of the house and invite family and friends to visit, swim, sail and eat in the former banquet room and chapel. I feel a transcendent presence when counseling clients here. Whether fighting the elements of beach erosion or the tragedy of our son’s death, our inspirational story shows how a new strength bonds our family together with hope and faith.

How the Blessed Live
Author: Susannah M. Smith
Publisher: Coach House Books
ISBN: 9781552451007
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
Minor earthquakes every day; that's what they say. Lucy feels the tremors like a needle sensitized to respond to the slightest movement. She feels the push, the blind thrust of the earth's elastic body, pushing out, pulling in, behaving unpredictably. She lies awake at night, staring into the darkness, thinking of the tectonic plates moving against one another, building up tension, until something has to give. On an isolated island in Lake Ontario live twins Lucy and Levi and their father, Daniel. While Daniel desperately mourns for his dead wife, Levi and Lucy grow up ever more entwined in their enchanted childhood of fairy tales and rhymes. But when a fissure in the fragile cocoon of the family explodes into a chasm, each of the three is hurled in a different direction. Soon, there emerges a geographical triangle - Vancouver, Montreal, the island - that also maps out the terrain of love and the territory of family. Part Egyptian myth, part Alice in Wonderland, How the Blessed Live is an ethereally quiet, unexpected debut from a novelist to be watched.

Diary of an American Exorcist
Author: Msgr Stephen Rossetti
Publisher: Sophia
ISBN: 9781644134672
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Archdiocese of Washington exorcist Msgr. Stephen Rossetti and his team have a very active caseload of demonic possessions. Msgr. Rossetti presents many of these stories here, without varnish or hype. In these ninety-five detailed cases, two vivid lessons consistently emerge: 1. Demons possess or simply harass people in myriad ways and need to be taken seriously, even when they do not enter a soul. 2. Demons are defeated, decisively, by the power of Christ and His Church, employing prayer, sacramentals, rites of exorcism -- and especially, invocations to the Blessed Mother. "Despite all their bluster and arrogance, demons are cowards," Msgr. Rossetti reveals. In fact, in every section of his work, he offers detailed "Theological Reflections" explaining the meaning of these possessions, why he thinks God permitted each, and the spiritual benefits accrued. The devil is no match for the Lord of Heaven and Earth.

The Blessed Hope
Author: George Eldon Ladd
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 9780802811110
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 174
Book Description
Jesus Christ is coming again! That is the Blessed Hope which has since the earliest days of the Church energized Biblical Christians looking for the full revelation of God's redemption. The author sketches the history of interpretations of Christ's second coming and then carefully and lucidly examines the Biblical passages on which this doctrine is based. His conclusion is that the Blessed Hope is the second coming of Jesus Christ, not a pretribulation rapture that believers in a secret coming of Jesus. Yet he concludes that there should be liberty and charity within the Christian community for all who hold to the expectation of "the blessed hope and appearing in glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ."
