Frankly and charitably, Sheen presents the causes of and solutions to common marital crises, and tells touching real-life stories of people whose lives were transformed through marriage. He emphasizes that our Blessed Lord is at the center of every successful and loving marriage. This is a perfect gift for engaged couples, or for married people as a fruitful occasion for self-examination.

    In this brief yet profound meditation on the meaning of the Seventh Day, Heschel introduced the idea of an "architecture of holiness" that appears not in space but in time. Judaism, he argues, is a religion of time: it finds meaning not in space and the material things that fill it but in time and the eternity that imbues it, so that "the Sabbaths are our great cathedrals."

    Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a young German pastor who was executed by the Nazis in 1945 for his part in the “officers’ plot” to assassinate Adolf Hitler.       This expanded version of Letters and Papers from Prison shifts the emphasis of earlier editions of Bonhoeffer’s theological reflections to the private sphere of his life. His letters appear in greater detail and show his daily concerns. Letters from Bonhoeffer’s parents, siblings, and other relatives have also been added, in addition to previously inaccessible letters and legal papers referring to his trial.      Acute and subtle, warm and perceptive, yet also profoundly moving, the documents collectively tell a very human story of loss, of courage, and of hope. Bonhoeffer’s story seems as vitally relevant, as politically prophetic, and as theologically significant today, as it did yesterday.

    Abraham Joshua Heschel's philosophy of religion is not a philosophy of doctrine or the interpretation of a dogma. He erects his carefully built structure of thought upon foundations which are universally valid but almost generally ignored. It was Man Is Not Alone which led Reinhold Niebuhr accurately to predict that Heschel would "become a commanding and authoritative voice not only in the Jewish community but in the religious life of America." With its companion volume, God in Search of Man, it is revered as a classic of modern theology.

    It exists in three versions: the Greek, complied in the eighteenth century; the Slavonic; and the Russian.The Russian text, translated by Bishop Theophan the Recluse in the nineteenth century, and consisting of five volumes (with which a sixth is sometimes associated), is the most complete of all three versions. It is the Russian text that has been used in translating into English this selection, which presents a range of Philokalia writings concerning the Jesus Prayer.

    Obviously those who shape social policy today are offering the wrong answers. In this masterful apologetic for the gospel, Dr. Lloyd-Jones exposes these flaws in modern thinking, especially in the "scientific approach.""It is a poor physician who treats the symptoms and complications only and ignores the disease" says the author. In this volume we see a doctor, as skillful spiritually as he was medically, make a penetrating diagnosis of the human condition and show decisively that the true remedy for our ills is in Jesus Christ--and Him alone.

    In this autobiographical narrative, Gilson retraces his early education in the Catholic faith and its lasting influence on his life and thought, and describes his educational career at the University of Paris, where the always dynamic interaction of diverse schools of thought led him to his lifelong dedication to philosophical discourse.Gilson became a scholar of Descartes, and through Descartes and under the brilliant direction of Lévy-Bruhl, while at the Sorbonne he began a deep and unique study of medieval thought, which has resulted in his revolutionizing the understanding of early Christian thought and especially St. Thomas, and has brought to the modern world a new concept of Christian philosophy. In dealing with the main problems of his career as philosopher-scholar, Gilson gives a first-hand account of the attitudes and thoughts of such outsanding men as Durkheim, Brunschvicg, Péguy, Lévy-Bruhl and especially the Jewish philosopher Bergson, whose philosophy has had such an effect on modern Catholic thinkers.The Philosopher and Theology is the warm personal account of the development of a modern Scholastic among the conflicts of twentieth-century thought and those men who have played important roles in the history of philosophy.
