Holiness
A masterful teacher looks at "down-to-earth" holiness and inspires us to live for God on the spot where we're standing. To be holy, writes Fr. O'Malley, is to be "fully human, fully alive," and he draws on Jesus' life and the examples of saints who are flawed like us to surprise us and inspire us to be what we already are: children of God in the family of God.
The Place Called Skull
"A novel of the 2,700 priest-prisoners in Dachau, half of whom died there."--Cover
God
Is the existence of God a reasonable premise? In this book, William O'Malley, SJ, examines this critical question and many other related questions with a rare combination of rigorous gravity and irreverent humor. A Jesuit priest and prolific writer, O'Malley delves into the existence of God by looking at modern science, classical philosophy, literature and art, and the religious traditions of East and West. "God: the Oldest Question" provides thoughtful answers for anyone looking to better understand their faith and what it all means.
Daily Prayers for Busy People
The busier we are, the more we need to withdraw awhile to remind ourselves of what is important, to keep our heads straight and pointing in the right direction... The goal of these prayers is connecting with and resting in God, not trying to learn anything or to make 'progress in the spiritual life.' Remember, God will lead us as God will ..." (from the introduction). Using the Bible, passages from other great works of literature, and evocative original prayers, William O'Malley, SJ, has composed a four-week cycle of daily morning, midday, and evening prayers. The prayers may be said quickly, but each one provides a rich source for further meditation.
Trent and All That
Counter Reformation, Catholic Reformation, the Baroque Age, the Tridentine Age, the Confessional Age: why does Catholicism in the early modern era go by so many names? And what political situations, what religious and cultural prejudices in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries gave rise to this confusion? Taking up these questions, John O'Malley works out a remarkable guide to the intellectual and historical developments behind the concepts of Catholic reform, the Counter Reformation, and, in his felicitous term, Early Modern Catholicism. The result is the single best overview of scholarship on Catholicism in early modern Europe, delivered in a pithy, lucid, and entertaining style. Althoug...
The First Jesuits
John W. O’Malley gives us the most comprehensive account ever written of the Society of Jesus in its founding years, one that heightens and transforms our understanding of the Jesuits in history and today. Following the Society from 1540 through 1565, O’Malley shows how this sense of mission evolved. He looks at everything—the Jesuits’ teaching, their preaching, their casuistry, their work with orphans and prostitutes, their attitudes toward Jews and “New Christians,” and their relationship to the Reformation. All are taken in by the sweep of O’Malley’s story as he details the Society’s manifold activities in Europe, Brazil, and India.

The Fifth Week: Second Edition
In the last 20 years, the Jesuit order has seen enough experimentation and adaptation to warrant an update. This second edition of Father Bill O'Malley's minor classic in the Jesuit order, The Fifth Week, contains a new chapter by national best-selling author James Martin, SJ. Martin's contribution looks mainly at Jesuit formation as it has developed in recent years, including current terminology and timetables. This entire book remains an essential read for anyone interested in learning more about the Jesuit vocation.
Redemptive Suffering
This book addresses the question everybody wants to know: what is the meaning of suffering? Why must we suffer? Does it have a purpose? How can we grow through our suffering, find peace, and give peace.
