Repair My House
"Repair my house." From a crucifix in a ruined chapel, St. Francis heard this instruction, which set him on a mission of evangelical renewal. In the light of unprecedented crisis afflicting the Catholic church, Michael Crosby calls us all to undertake a wholesale project of repair and renewal. The crisis is visible in the sex abuse scandal, and the questions it has raised about internal structures of authority and clerical culture. Meanwhile, a spate of "new atheists" has challenged traditional worldviews. The percentage of those identifying themselves as "former Catholics" grows at an alarming rate. In response, Fr. Crosby sees a challenge to return to the core evangelical message of Jesus Christ. This message is supported, not contradicted by discoveries in science and cosmology. He envisions a new way of being Catholic and a set of practices that draws on the contemplative, compassionate, and life-giving spirit of the Kingdom that God's will may be realized on earth as it is in heaven.
Offences Against the Person
Within the criminal law, the area of offences against the person is an important and sometimes controversial subject. This book deals with both homicide, and non-fatal offences (including sex offences). The theoretical bases, and practical operation, of the main offences in all areas are discussed.
Preaching Proverbs
Alyce McKenzie offers preachers an effective way to reclaim proverbs in preaching. She corrects popular misconceptions about the nature of proverbs, highlights their usefulness in contemporary situations, and demonstrates their ability to confirm (or subvert) the status quo. Six sermons are provided to illustrate proverbs at work in dealing with contemporary concerns.
The Joy of Exile
The Joy of Exile presents a well-researched commentary on the last book of the Bible. It demonstrates Revelation's dependence on Old Testament imagery while exploring its transforming message for disciples in all times and places. The Joy of Exile encourages readers to see this often misunderstood and misrepresented book as an encouraging guide to faithful discipleship in a rebellious world.
One Heart, One Soul, Many Communities
"Attempts to answer these questions showcase the theme of unity in diversity and address Benedictine monasticism in broad, institutional strokes as well as in the very specific practices and narratives of monastics, oblates, and others living in various communities. In this volume, you will hear the voices of many community members-young and old, men and women, Benedictines and intentional community members-all speaking from the heart of their lived experience and wisdom."--BOOK JACKET.

Living into Community
Every church, every organization, has experienced them: betrayal, deception, grumbling, envy, exclusion. They make life together difficult and prevent congregations from developing the skills, virtues, and practices they need to nurture sturdy, life-giving communities. In Living into Community Christine Pohl explores four specific Christian practices -- gratitude, promise-keeping, truth-telling, and hospitality -- that can counteract those destructive forces and help churches and individuals build and sustain vibrant communities. Drawing on a wealth of personal and professional experience and interacting with the biblical, historical, and moral traditions, Pohl thoughtfully discusses each practice, including its possible complications and deformations, and points to how these essential practices can be better cultivated within communities and families.
