God’s Seduction Plan
What happens when a familiar passage in the Bible begins to sound like your own life and those verses want to shape a new story only you can tell? Confronted by that question when his life was disrupted, Father Ramadhani turned to writing as his tool to search into the depths. In this spiritual monograph on Hosea 2:4-25 and 3:1-5, he offers a narrative of a homecoming journey through eight metaphors—Prostituting, Stripping, Caging, Unveiling, Seducing, Purging, Owning, and Sitting. This is the second book in his ‘Trilogy of Redemption’. When everything is gone, the only option is to walk into the unknown in the wilderness. Utter loss can be the only way to rediscover God and reinvent life. This leads to a bigger grace, a better gain, and a more liberating path. God’s seduction plan will bring every sinner home.
Schooled by Rumours
Rumours are perhaps as old as humanity itself, because human brain is hardwired for storytelling. With modern allegiance to speed and advance in social media, the need for objective truth is decomposing. Everyone today is at the mercy of taps and clicks on the gadgets. Public shaming and cyber bullying have even led to suicides. Amid devastating rumours, Father Ramadhani turned to the Bible for solace. The result is these fourteen stories of how God and God’s people deal with rumours. Half is taken from the Old Testament, with the struggles of the Israelites, Moses, Hannah, Naaman, Jonah, Job, Tobit, and Sarah. The other half is from the New Testament, with the experiences of Paul, Zacchaeus, the soldiers, the sinful woman, the prodigal son, the disciples, John the Baptist, and Jesus. This final sequel in his ‘Trilogy of Redemption’ is a message of hope for those who have become helpless victims of rumours. It is also an invitation to conversion for those who are addicted to spreading rumours.
Sewing God
How many priests grew up in a fashion industry? In this regard, Father Ramadhani can boast to be a rare breed. Cherishing his childhood memories with his mother whose passion was (and still is) in sewing, applying the Ignatian practice of contemplative in action, and listening to the voices from the Bible, he leads us through the inner paths in the fashion world. From buying the right fabric to dressing up and beyond, all the thirty chapters offer new metaphors for life and faith journey. Together they echo an unlikely invitation to encounter the divine in what seems to be the glamorously superficial world. This book has been designed as a month-long immersion in the fashion world. It also wants to bring together to one table fellowship the underpaid workers in many garment factories on the globe, the designers, and the supermodels. Everyone who is called to participate in the fashion world is invited to tap on the sacred, right before their very eyes every single day. Hence, “finding God in the fashion world” is not only possible, but it is more than obvious.
The Talking Puzzles
You have a choice to rewrite your story of destruction as a story of redemption. In 2013, after a prolonged struggle with shame, public humiliation and vocational crisis, Father Ramadhani was sent for a residential treatment. Working on jigsaw puzzles with fellow residents soon became his new hobby. Little did he know that this would lead him to soul-searching conversations with the images on those puzzles—Golden Gate Bridge, Dubrovnik, Riomaggiore, Sydney Opera House, Big Ben Clock Tower, Castle of Chambord, Mount Rushmore, Portland Head Lighthouse. The result is this smooth blend of Ignatian contemplation and mythic imagination. Tapping on the strength of vulnerability, this book encourages anyone dealing with inner unresolved issues, to pull away, listen, look honestly inside the soul with the eyes of an outsider, and if possible, humbly seek professional help.
Melacak Sang Tersalib
Mengapa salib menimbulkan kegelisahan, seolah-olah ada jin kafir di dalamnya? Sungguhkah Yesus disalibkan dengan seluruh tubuhNya sebagai manusia? Benarkah bahwa dengan terus mempertahankan tubuh Yesus pada salib, orang-orang Katolik masih ingin menyalibkan-Nya? Apakah Kekristenan telah mengubah Yesus dari manusia biasa menjadi sungguhsungguh ilahi? Bagaimana Perjamuan Terakhir Yesus dan penyaliban-Nya dibuktikan secara historis? Dalam buku ini Anda diajak melacak tubuh Yesus, sejak penyaliban-Nya hingga berbagai representasi visual yang ada hari ini. Melalui telaah atas Kitab Suci Kristiani, naskahnaskah di luar kanon Kitab Suci pada masa Kekristenan awal, dan data-data sejarah, Anda akan sungguh terpana pada tubuh Yesus yang tergantung pada salib.

Governing Africa's Forests in a Globalized World
Many countries around the world are engaged in decentralization processes, and most African countries face serious problems with forest governance, from benefits sharing to illegality and sustainable forest management. This book summarizes experiences to date on the extent and nature of decentralization and its outcomes - most of which suggest an underperformance of governance reforms - and explores the viability of different governance instruments in the context of weak governance and expanding commercial pressures over forests. Findings are grouped into two thematic areas: decentralization, livelihoods and sustainable forest management; and international trade, finance and forest sector go...
Walking with Ignatius
Walking with Ignatius is a celebration of 500 years of the Society of Jesus, as seen through the eyes of its first Latin American Father General, Arturo Sosa. Comprised of interviews with Father General conducted over a period of two years by Dario Menor, Walking with Ignatius retraces the inner tension both personal and communal that defines the quest for meaning over the ages: from the time when St Ignatius begged for alms to sustain his studies to a world transformed by globalisation. Menors questions reflect the spirit of the Ignatian practice of discernment: unafraid to ask questions and to face up to the challenges of the present, Menor and Sosa engage in a spiritual conver...
