    To be like Christ, Sheen emphasizes that the priest must imitate Christ in His example of sacrifice, offering himself as a victim to make His Incarnation continually present in the world."Unlike anyone else, Our Lord came on earth, not to live, but to die. Death for our redemption was the goal of His sojourn here, the gold that he was seeking. He was, therefore, not primarily a teacher, but a Savior. Was not Christ the Priest a Victim? He never offered anything except Himself. So we have a mutilated concept of our priesthood, if we envisage it apart from making ourselves victims in the prolongation of His Incarnation."—Bishop Fulton Sheen

    Mary Magdalene was weeping at the tomb, asking for the dead body of Jesus. Whom was she asking? Jesus Himself, yet she did not know it. In his matchless way, Oswald Chambers reflects on the truth and the enormous power of prayer.

    Orthodoxy continues to be a subject of enormous interest among Western Christians and the author believes that an understanding of its standpoint is necessary before the Roman Catholic and Protestant Churches can be reunited. In this newly revised and updated edition he explains the Orthodox views on widely ranging matters as Ecumenical Councils, Sacraments, Free Will, Purgatory, the Papacy and the relationship between the different Orthodox churches.In Part One he describes the history of the Eastern Church over the last two thousand years with particular reference to its problems in twentieth-century Russia: and in Part Two he explains the beliefs and worship of the Orthodox Church today. Finally, he considers the possibilities of reunion between the East and the West. In this latest edition, he takes full account of the totally new situation confronting Eastern Christians since the collapse of Communism.

    A young preacher from the Pennsylvania hills comes to New York City and influences troubled teenagers with his inspirational message.

    Christ said, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." "The kingdom of God is within." "Be ye perfect...." Theologians are apt to explain away these teachings, but we believe Christ meant exactly what he said. Read in this book how Vedanta goes to the heart of Christ's teachings.

    Father O'Sullivan tells of the countless Angels present at Mass and of miracles that have taken place at Mass; he also describes the Mass as said by Pope Leo XIII, Priests as "The Happiest of Men," Priests as “Angels on Earth," The Benefits of the Mass, and How a Protestant was converted by the Mass; plus, he tells of severe punishments from Heaven on Catholics who missed Sunday Mass. To help us obtain the greatest possible benefits from this inexhaustible spiritual treasury, Fr. O'Sullivan explains how to assist at Mass well. Indeed, there is nothing better that we can do with our time, for "All the labors and works of a day or a week or a whole year are nothing in comparison with the value of one Mass.” Thus this little book reveals one of the greatest secrets in the whole universe: There is nothing else on earth equal to the Mass—and nothing greater in all of Heaven.

    Rediscover Pope John XXIII's extraordinary vision for world peace in this fortieth anniversary edition of his historic encyclical.

    This is what emerges from Dr. Lloyd-Jones' consideration of John 17 and Ephesians 4 in the addresses to the Westminster Fellowship republished here. His presentation was given against the background of the ferment of discussion and debate engendered by the ecumenical movement of the time and demonstrated that unity is never something arrived at by ignoring or minimizing truth. The debates have moved on, but this lucid examination of the issues underlying Christian unity remains as relevant as when first presented in 1962. It points to timeless truths which should never be obscured.

    He sees that the pervading fear from which the spiritual recession of our time has come can be overcome not by automatic reactions but through Christian understanding. Dr. Tournier writes not only to bring some hope to the weak but also to benefit the strong, who feel vaguely that the victories they must constantly be trying to win sustain the atmosphere of violence, nervous tension, and threat of catastrophe under which we live in the modern world.

    

    were state supported or state controlled. They were local, parent-teacher enterprises, supported without taxes, and taking care of all children. They were remarkably high in standard and were Christian. From Mann to the present, the state has used education to socialize the child. The school's basic purpose, according to its own philosophers, is not education in the traditional sense of the 3 R's. Instead, it is to promote 'democracy' and 'equality,' not in their legal or civic sense, but in terms of the engineering of a socialized citizenry. Public education became the means of creating a social order of the educator's design. Such men saw themselves and the school in messianic terms. This book was instrumental in launching the Christian school and homeschool movements.
