Real Life Faith
What do the people in the Bible have to do with my life? Why should I care about who they were or what they did? As children of God and followers of Christ, the men and women of the Bible are part of our spiritual heritage. Biblical figures, often young themselves, have much to teach us.

In this book, you will meet several companions, as well as modern-day teens, who exhibit ways to make those virtues and traits real and put them into practice. Whether read as a personal guide or educational resource, these "real-life" stories are sure to inspire.

God's Word to Israel
While many Christians recognize the abiding value of the Old Testament as God's Word they stay away from studying it because they see it as a difficult and forbidding subject. In this completely revised and expanded edition of God’s Word to Israel Joseph Jensen incorporates the latest scholarship using a combination of the historical, literary, and thematic approaches to present a unified treatment—one that with even a modest degree of effort will produce rich rewards. By selecting the most important matters, rather than attempting to cover every aspect of the Old Testament message, Jensen has given them the space and emphasis they deserve.

The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind

While no such book would be complete without entries on Peter, Paul, the Francises, Anthony of Padua, Augustine and the other Doctors of the Church, Ignatius of Loyola, Benedict, John, John Paul, and so on, it will also include many of the men canonized in the past fifty years, including Oscar Romero, Louis Martin, Francisco Marto, José Gabriel del Rosario Brochero, Junipero Serra, and the martyrs of Otranto, Natal, Korea, and the Spanish Civil War.
