Neo-Charismatic Pentecostalism has some 600 million followers worldwide, and by 2050 their numbers will grow to 1 billion: that's one in ten people...

In the spirit of Henri Nouwen, a warm and heartfelt reflection on the beauty and life-giving power of coming together for Mass. For one reason or another, many people have chosen not to attend church in person—whether because of restrictions, a sense of isolation, or the ease of livestream and other digital formats. In this timely book, rooted in Scripture, church teaching, and his own lived experiences, Irish priest Fr. Paul Farren makes a compelling case for the beauty, power, and spiritual necessity of coming together in person to share in the Eucharist.

Dysvangelical names a theology that is distorted, dysfunctional, and dystopian, twisting the good news of God’s grace into a message of fear, partisanship, and exclusion. In Being Presbyterian in a Dysvangelical America, Ted V. Foote Jr. and P. Alex Thornburg speak directly to Presbyterians...

Nell'ultimo scorcio dello scorso millennio, soprattutto dal XVI secolo in poi, si è assistito ad un crescente intensificarsi del fenomeno delle apparizioni mariane, che negli ultimi due secoli ha riguardato particolarmente le zone del vecchio continente, cioè dell'Europa. Sembra quasi che la Madonna abbia voluto opporre al fenomeno sempre più crescente della scristianizzazione e della secolarizzazione un piano mirante a porre un qualche argine al dilagare sempre più crescente dell'ateismo e dell'immoralità.

For Latter-day Saints, Jesus’s suffering in Gethsemane is pivotal to his mission of saving and redeeming humankind. As such, the location where his suffering took place is also worth careful study and contemplation. In this book—A Place Called Gethsemane—scholars Matthew J. Grey and Richard Neitzel Holzapfel introduce listeners to some of the latest historical and archaeological findings about Gethsemane and the surrounding areas that offer new, fascinating insights into Jesus’s sacred experience on that final night of his mortality.

Heart Speaks to Heart invites readers to accompany Henri J. M. Nouwen on a Holy Week retreat where he sought to deepen his understanding of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. What began as an intellectual pursuit soon became a profoundly personal encounter. Moved by the mystery of God's love revealed in the Passion and Resurrection of Christ, Nouwen's focus shifted from studying the Sacred Heart to speaking directly to the heart of Jesus—and listening for his response.

Enjoying the human journey through this world can seem impossible. So much is going wrong in these dark days. And the daily personal demands never let up. Who has the time—much less the freedom of heart—to play, to laugh, to delight? What's more, those following Christ can also feel duty-bound to live in sacrificial austerity. But God's strategy for wise living includes bold enjoyment. In fact, any "Christianity" that feels embarrassed about enjoying God's good gifts dishonors him and leaves Christians with less to give their suffering world.
