Funeral Homilies
Father Bill Bausch's homilies are always outstanding. He brings a deep pastoral presence and much thought and preparation to each of them. This has never been more evident than here in this book of funeral homilies. Each is crafted to reflect the person remembered as well as the message of Scripture. Each reflects the communal nature of a Catholic funeral and is sensitive to the status of the mourners: non-Catholics, lapsed Catholics, faithful parishioners, relatives, and friends. Father Bill's words are faith-filled and compassionate, comforting and challenging, communal and personal. He regards the funeral liturgy as one of the greatest teachable moments the Church offers and here this is very evident. Highly recommended for all priests, deacons, and preachers. Book jacket.

Storytelling
In re-releasing this best-selling classic book, Storytelling - Imagination and Faith, Fr. Bill Bausch brings to life the art of stories and of storytelling. Weaving together stories that have been collected over the years, he celebrates the ability of storytelling to transform the heart of the reader. No doubt, this book will hold a treasured spot on the shelves of preachers, ministers, teachers, parents - and anyone who wants to learn the power of the story! For stories remain the repositories of our successes and failures, our dreams and our hopes, our faith and despair. And we remember them. This, then, is what you will find in this book: stories, secular and sacred, that provoke, entertain, entice and challenge.

Pilgrim Church
"The more I listen to people, the more I lecture, the more I realize how wide is the gap between the people's understanding of the Church and the Church's historical realities." [Introduction] The author seeks to close this gap by critically exploring such areas as: the rich variety of ministries in the early Church; the Crusades; the piety of the Middle Ages; the challenge of the Reformation; the role of the pope; the rise, fall and recent reinstatement of the diaconate; the changing role of women in the Church; and the origins of various liturgies and popular devotions.

An Anthology of Saints
Saints are a significant part of our heritage, revered figures of our Christian culture, according to Father Bill Bausch. Long before television, the cult of saints dominated the popular imagination; they were and are our Christian celebrities. He says that while modern celebrities point to and celebrate themselves, the saints point to or wrestle with "something more" beyond appearances, "some one more." They are mirrors to another reality. Whatever their history, at least once in their lives, saints heroically leap beyond their pride, self-absorption, and even the instincts of self preservation into a fullness of sacrifice, generosity, and love that takes our breath away. Bausch covers 50 of these saints here in this beautifully written anthology.
