Father Martin McAlinden was a Catholic priest from the Diocese of Dromore and Director of PastoralTheology at St Patrick's College Maynooth. Martin was studying for a doctorate at the University ofChester when, in 2016, he sadly died. His research had focussed on the spiritual malaise experiencedby many priests in the Catholic Church in Ireland. In response, he developed a theology rooted in theancient notion of acedia and he used this as a way of talking about the spiritual crises many priestsexperience. The ancient response to acedia, the command to stay in one's cell and pray, providedMartin with a way of speaking about how this spiritual malaise might be transformed. This bookbrings together a major article that has emerged out of Martin's research, together with a seriesof responses from many who accompanied him during his studies. It is offered to Martin's brotherpriests, and to the whole Church, as a gift of love that might, it is hoped, contribute to the spiritualrenewal of the Church.
Science teaches evolution. Genesis describes creation. Christianity, Judaism, and Sufism teach resurrection. Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism teach reincarnation. The Reluctant Messenger of Science and Religion resolves these paradoxes. Chester and Lydia meet in a debate. One wins. One loses. Neither are ever the same. Lydia discovers a secret from her past that destroyed her family. She tries to ignore it, but her nightmares won't let her. Chester's greed for gold and revenge lead him to ancient knowledge which the powers of darkness fight to suppress. When the information last came to light, thousands died. Somehow, Chester must safely reveal it to the world. "This is the most inspirational story I have ever read! Honest!" Clint Hoadley re: www.reluctant-messenger.com

Inked within the pages of Blooming Bare, Morgan Richard Olivier uses poetry and prose to embody the steppingstones of inner work and acceptance while uncovering purpose and the power of perspective. These writings are the revelations, reflections, and raw conversations with one’s self that are commonly felt yet rarely discussed along the journey of self-love, healing, and growth. By identifying our brokenness, assessing ourselves fully, and redirecting in an effort to align ourselves with peace and progress - we can embrace our truths, lessons, and journey. It is only after we remove the burdens and discover the depths of our authenticity that we can bloom boldly and unapologetically into the people that we were created to become.
