Behold the Mystery: A Deeper Understanding of the Catholic Mass
Mark Hart - 2013
Often, though, we go through the motions at Mass without an appreciation for what has really happened. Popular speaker and author Mark Hart helps Catholics move beyond the repetition and ritual to see the Mass for what it really is: a heavenly banquet, a wedding feast, in which heaven and earth meet. In his engaging style, Hart guides readers toward a deeper understanding of the Massits roots in the Jewish Sabbath, its sacrificial character, and its signs and symbols. As we are told to go in peace, he inspires us to see the Mass as a place to be nourished so that we can further Christs mission in the world. In the last part of the book, Hart provides pithy answers to frequently asked questions, such as Why cant I leave right after Communion? or Why did the words change? Finally, Hart offers ten things we can do to get more out of Mass.
Sins of the Tongue: The Backbiting Tongue
Jean-Pierre Bélet - 2015
Belet wages war against one of the worst sins of his (and our) time - backbiting - better known to us as detraction (telling the faults of others without cause). Most of us do not realize how evil this sin is. In fact, many of us don't think it's a sin at all. After ruining someone's reputation, or satisfying our anger (and yes, our hatred) by spewing out every bad thing we can say about someone, we justify ourselves by saying, "Well, it's true!" We even think we are acting justly by giving someone what they deserve.. Due to our lack of charity and also to our pride, little do we see things from God's point of view, to whom these are vile sins - a form of hatred of neighbor - a failure to do the two things necessary - to love God and our neighbor (Matt. 22:37-40). In explaining this sin of backbiting, properly called detraction, Fr. Belet quotes the best men of Western Civilization: Aristotle, Plato, Horace, Seneca, Pliny, the Roman Emperor Constantine, King David, Isaiah, Saints James, Luke, Matthew, Paul, John Chrysostom, Jerome, Cassian, Gregory the Great, Augustine, Bernard, Thomas Aquinas, and many others. A very helpful book for those who wish to know to meaning of backbiting---and how to avoid it.

Defeating Your Adversary in the Court of Heaven
Praying Medic - 2016
As a result, illnesses have vanished, legal proceedings have been halted and demonic attacks suddenly stopped. Do we write these things off as coincidence? Or is there power in the verdicts that come from the court of heaven? Many Christians are surprised when they first hear that the courts of heaven are real. Many more have been shocked at how their lives have changed after appearing in court to face their adversary. The courts are places where the legal proceedings of heaven are carried out. Cases are brought before a judge, witnesses testify and rulings are handed down. In an earthly court, when an accusation is brought against you and it goes unanswered, even if you're innocent, it can cause legal problems. Whenever your're accused, you must appear to answer the accusation. Otherwise the court must find you guilty. Many of us are being accused right now by an adversary and aren't aware of it. When the accusation goes unanswered, our adversary wins by default and is able to afflict or oppress us. Isn't it time you learned how to present your case in the court of heaven? With the same down-to-earth teaching style used in Divine Healing Made Simple, Praying Medic clearly explains what the courts of heaven are and why we may want to appear in them. Even the least experienced believer will be able to boldly go before the court of heaven and obtain victory after they read the Bible-based teaching, and testimonies provided in this book. Defeating Your Adversary in the Court of Heaven answers the most common questions people have about the courts of heaven. It explains why, when and how we can appear there and how to obtain victory over our accuser. There's even a simple, step-by-step protocol that shows you exactly what to say, when to say it, and what not to say. What you'll learn:
What the courts of heaven are
Why you should appear in court
How to appear in court
How to know when you're being accused
Understanding the accusation
Responding to an accusation
How to be exonerated by the court
Receiving a verdict

Transfigured: Patricia Sandoval's Escape from Drugs, Homelessness, and the Back Doors of Planned Parenthood
Christine Watkins - 2018
Donald Calloway, MIC, say that the world, especially Catholics, need to read this story of redemption? Why would he claim that Transfigured is one of the most powerful conversion stories ever written? Because Patricia Sandoval’s life story is an unusually gripping, hard-to-put-down ride along a journey that leads to an extraordinary triumph of God’s mercy—the mercy that waits patiently for all of us. Patricia came from a broken home, good and bad boyfriends, three abortions, a job at Planned Parenthood (where she was told never to reveal what she saw), followed by methamphetamine addiction and homelessness. The way that Jesus came to her in the streets will leave you breathless, as will the heights to which God has since carried her.

Víctor Salomón: De Dos en Dos. Transfigured, endorsed by Fr. Donald Calloway, MIC, Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone, and Bishop Michael C. Barber, has been translated into Spanish (Transfigurada) and French (Transfigurée). Patricia Sandoval's story is available, as well, on a critically acclaimed, life-changing DVD, as seen on EWTN.
