Pleading, Cursing, Praising
In Pleading, Cursing, Praising, the renowned scholar, spiritual guide, and teacher Irene Nowell brings together her many gifts to offer Christians today a remarkable guide to praying with the psalms. Nowell maintains that the psalms teach us to tell our story, to cry out our pain, and to give praise to God. They also teach us to listen-to the voice of God, the voice of Christ, the voices of the people around us, and the voice of all creation. This book includes questions and exercises for personal reflection, brief prayers for praying along the way, and suggestions for composing one's own psalmprayers. It promises to enrich the spiritual life of everyone who reads it.
Pastoral Essays in Honor of Lawrence Boadt, CSP
Pastoral Essays in Honor of Lawrence Boadt, CSP, is a tribute to the late Old Testament scholar by his colleagues and friends. The twelve essays by leading biblical scholars address various questions that contemporary lay audiences have about the Old Testament, covering the major genres in the Old Testament (narrative, law, prophecy, poetry, and proverbs), as well as foundational issues encountered in serious engagement with the Bible (translations, the nature of God, the contributions of historical background to the Bible). Each essay is followed by questions, and there are bibliographies to foster further study. The book can be used on its own, as the basis for a multiweek or yearlong Bible study, or in the classroom as a supplement to Boadt's introductory textbook, and is suitable for personal reflection as well as for group settings.

Leadership in the Context of Religious Institutions
This book explores opportunities and limitations with regard to transferring knowledge and tools from the corporate world to manage monasteries or other types of religious institutions. To do so, the contributing authors analyze both the ideological and practical implications of employing modern organizational theory in the context of religious institutions, and seek to strike a balance between preserving traditions and promoting modernization. In this regard, they draw on experience gained in the course of long-standing collaborations between religious institutions, such as monasteries, and business and management schools.
Liturgy and Life Study Bible
How does the Bible form our worship practices? How does liturgy incorporate the Bible? The Liturgy and Life Study Bible explores these questions and provides answers for today’s church. This indispensable guide includes essays from the world’s top liturgical and biblical scholars on a variety of subjects, including Jewish liturgical traditions, Psalms as liturgical prayer, early church worship, social justice, sacraments, the Last Supper, and more. Throughout the biblical text, brief comments flag passages that contain something of liturgical or personal prayer interest. A correlation chart highlights the intersection between biblical passages and the Catholic liturgy, listing every place where a verse of the Bible appears in any liturgical book: the Missal, the orders of sacramental rites, even the Roman Gradual and the Martyrology. This one-of-a-kind tool will serve researchers, catechists, preachers, and anyone studying the Bible for the purposes of prayer and meditation. Uses the New American Bible, Revised Edition. Cover art by Jan Richardson. Includes eight full color map images.
