As Christians, we know that our life on earth is a purposeful journey guided by God's providence. This journey takes us through many stages, many seasons of spiritual growth that the Lord uses to prepare us for our final destination: the Father's house in heaven. This Retreat Guide will show us how this pilgrimage truly works.
Father John Bartunek, LC, author of the best-selling book Inside the Passion, has created a dynamic, Christ-centered resource for personal prayer. Beginning with a detailed and practical guide to Christian meditation, there are over 300 units - each consisting of a passage from the Gospels and a four-part commentary based on common themes. All four Gospels are contained and commented on in their entirety. Small enough to be portable, The Better Part is an elegant, sturdy softcover with French folds and a ribbon marker. Truly a book for a lifetime of spiritual enrichment and growth
This collection of testimonies by former atheists who’ve found new life in the Catholic Church is one of the most potent weapons for the Faith ever crafted! These authors don’t just tell their stories — they also give you an insider’s view of the fatal weaknesses of atheist thinking that lead people to deny the existence of God. Dramatic and thought-provoking, these intensely personal stories explain virtually every objection that atheists have to God – as well as the arguments that eventually led them into the Catholic Church. These converts will convince Christians who struggle with unbelief to persevere in the search for God, and they’ll bolster the faith of Catholics when atheist arguments start to make them doubt. Readers will come away with new gratitude for God and with a strong new tool they can use to stand proudly for that Faith.
