Hays Format: Paperback Pages: 640 Trim size: 6 x 9 inches Imprint: Forest of Peace This lively story begins at the beginning, with Francis as a very human and, therefore, flawed man, a hopeless romantic who is slowly and painfully drawn by grace toward a destiny he does not desire. More than simply picturing the patron saint of poverty, peace, ecology and animals, this book depicts Francis as a holy model for becoming fully oneself as a unique individual. From the age of fourteen until his death, this passionate man is forced to wrestle with his opposing personalities. On the one hand he is an ascetic influenced by the negative theology of his day. On the other hand he is a poet, troubadour, and joyful lover of life. If you are a fan of Ed Hays, you won't want to miss The Passionate Troubadour. Of his twenty-eight books of contemporary spirituality, Hays says this is his favorite. If you're new to Hays, this is a good place to start. http://www.thechristiangiftshop.com/content-product_info/product_id-2076/the_passionate_troubadour.html http://www.thechristiangiftshop.com/images/products/0-939516-69-1.jpg http://www.thechristiangiftshop.com/content-product_info/product_id-2076/the_passionate_troubadour.html Newman 101 An Introduction to the Life and Philosophy of John Cardinal Newman Author: Roderick Strange Format: Paperback Pages: 192 Trim size: 5.5 x 8.5 inches Imprint: Christian Classics Few Catholic thinkers have left as deep and permanent a mark on the intellectual, cultural, and pastoral life of the church as John Cardinal Newman.

Filling a major void in Catholic resources, The Infertility Companion for Catholics is the first book to address not only the medical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of infertility, but also the particular needs of Catholic couples who desire to understand and follow Church teaching on the use of assisted reproductive technology. Authors Angelique Ruhi-López and Carmen Santamaría offer the support and wisdom gained in their own struggles with infertility. They describe the options that Catholic couples can pursue in seeking to conceive, many of which are not ordinarily presented by the medical community. In an encouraging and non-judgmental tone, they address both husbands and wives and help them recognize the emotional impact of infertility on their relationship. The Infertility Companion for Catholics presents a variety of spiritual resources including prayers, devotions, and the wisdom of the saints and provides suggestions for further reading of reference materials, Catholic documents, and Catholic blogs about infertility. http://www.thechristiangiftshop.com/content-product_info/product_id-2073/the_infertility_companion_for_catholics.html http://www.thechristiangiftshop.com/images/products/1-59471-289-1_.jpg http://www.thechristiangiftshop.com/content-product_info/product_id-2073/the_infertility_companion_for_catholics.html Prayerfulness Awakening to the Fullness of Life Author: Robert J.

Who was St. Patrick? The man that came to be the patron saint of Ireland was an ordinary man who accomplished the extraordinary by placing his faith in God. Originally sent to Ireland in the 5th century as a bishop to lead Irish Christians, Patrick chose instead to bring Christianity to those Irish not yet converted, and did so without bloodshed. As a result of his life and work, there emerged a uniquely Celtic form of Christianity, a religion firmly Christian in belief yet not far removed from the traditions, practice and law of the Irish. Director Dave Tennant takes the viewer on an emotionally moving and visually dramatic rendition of the life of Ireland's Patron Saint. Filmed entirely in Ireland, the film follows the story of both the man and the saint, unraveling myth and history, with commentary from Father Frank Fahey of Ballintubber Abbey and Michael Slaven, author of The Book of Tara. http://www.thechristiangiftshop.com/content-product_info/product_id-2044/st_patrick_apostle_of_ireland.html http://www.thechristiangiftshop.com/images/products/S20254D.jpg http://www.thechristiangiftshop.com/content-product_info/product_id-2044/st_patrick_apostle_of_ireland.html Ruth, a young Moabite woman, marries Mahlon the Judean, who believes in a merciful God.

Reluctant Saint shows us a Saint Francis who transcends the image familiar to even the least religious among us: wealthy playboy, soldier, businessman, preacher, defender of the poor, mystic and - later - an inspiration to lovers of nature and the earth. Filmed on location in Umbria, Italy where St. Francis lived and worked, Reluctant Saint captures all the violence, color, and mystery of Francis' time - a time like our own, full of crisis, craving for reform and for a deeper, simpler, more personal faith. Reluctant Saint offers new insights into a life that has engaged the hearts and minds of millions over the centuries. Reluctant Saint: Francis of Assisi is produced by Emmy-winner Pamela Mason Wagner and based on the biography of St. Francis by Donald Spoto, Robert Sean Leonard provides the voice of St. Francis, with additional narration by Liev Schreiber. http://www.thechristiangiftshop.com/content-product_info/product_id-2027/reluctant_saint_francis_of_assisi.html http://www.thechristiangiftshop.com/images/products/R51667D.jpg http://www.thechristiangiftshop.com/content-product_info/product_id-2027/reluctant_saint_francis_of_assisi.html Based on true events, this award winning short drama contrasts one mans dedication to his family to anothers search for meaning in life.

The documentary uncovers many fascinating historical and archaeological finds that show how the cross at Rome went from being a symbol of criminality and shame to a sign of triumph and loving sacrifice. From the crucifixion to the coliseum to the catacombs, Crossing Rome takes us gently but unavoidably to what it means today to "take up our cross and follow Him." This is an outstanding program for Lent and Easter. Hosted by journalist and broadcaster Paul Heiney, the journey is beautifully augmented by reflections and music from students at the English College in Rome. http://www.thechristiangiftshop.com/content-product_info/product_id-2053/crossing_rome.html http://www.thechristiangiftshop.com/images/products/C501108D.jpg http://www.thechristiangiftshop.com/content-product_info/product_id-2053/crossing_rome.html
