A Catholic Response to the Jehovah’s Witnesses
A Catholic Response to the Jehovahs Witnesses is a departure from the authors usual subject of books and articles on aspects of Catholic spirituality. Having met with many Witnesses over the years, she was prompted to write the book as a response to them. It also addresses the concern many Catholics have as to how to engage with Witnesses and how they might evaluate their teachings. It is written in an informal style to introduce readers to the various aspects of the doctrines of the Jehovahs Witnesses, and how a Catholic might respond to them from their own tradition and the theology of the Catholic Church.
This Present Paradise
Decades before Vatican II called for the sanctification of the laity, St. Elizabeth of the Trinity prophetically claimed that holiness is not exclusively the domain of priests and nuns but is truly for everyone.

The Joy That Is In Me
The essence of the spirituality of the French mystic, Elisabeth Leseur, was, as she herself put it, to be 'Christian to the core'. Surrounded by an anti-Christian, anti-Catholic milieu and an unbelieving husband, she quietly followed her resolve, living a life of prayer, an active apostolate among the poor of Paris, and suffering for the love for Jesus Christ, underpinned by an infectious joy and love of life. There was a deep bond of mutual love between Elisabeth and her husband, Félix, but it was only after Elisabeth's death that he found her 'secret diary' and other writings that spoke of the prayers and the sufferings that she had daily offered for him, and the depth of her spiritual life. This book tells the story of Elisabeth's life and introduces the reader to her spiritual writings that had such a profound influence on Félix that his life underwent an almost miraculous change.
