Robert

A much welcomed English translation of this important biographical study of a great Pope. Giovanni Maria Mastai Ferretti became Pope in 1846, and this book specifically deals with the 32 years of his Pontificate - the longest in history after St.Peter. Not only long, but filled with major events, upheaval and political ferment, his Pontificate encapsulates the clash between the Catholic Church and the modern world born of the French Revolution. The solemn beatification of Pius IX in September 2000 celebrated his heroic virtues and makes this well-researched analysis of the historical significance of his Pontificate all the more important.

Pius XII and the Second World War

The Pope Benedict Code

Introduction by Neville Kyrke-Smith, National Director, Aid to the Church in Need

Pope Benedict XVI does not speak in sound bites. He is a scholar, an academic, and has devoted his life to the exploration and communication of Christian doctrine. This book, however, selects the key messages of the opening period of his pontificate. Looking at the important sermons and addresses, the author presents his teaching in a form that will both inspire and enable Catholics and others to understand his message and to relate it to their own lives.

Prayer in Newman

Giovanni Velocci, C.SS.R

Translated, with an introduction by Rev Nicholas L Gregoris

Thanks to the skill of Father Nicholas Gregoris, the publication in English translation of Giovanni Velocci's important work Prayer in Newman will bring before a wider audience a significant study. In a few pages are drawn together from Newman's sermons and meditations, both Anglican and Catholic, his reflections on the life of prayer. Moreover, this little work reveals Newman himself to be a masterful teacher of the art of prayer and- most important - to be essentially a man of prayer. In Father Velocci's memorable phrase, "prayer became the preferred occupation of Newman"

As the Cause for Cardinal Newman's canonization continues to advance, this timely translation will serve to highlight the central fact that we find in Newman's inner life that profound longing for union with God in prayer which is surely the hallmark of the saints.

Prayer in the Workaday World

Arthur Middleton

Real prayer consists of three essential constituents - oral or bodily prayer, prayer of the mind and prayer of the heart or 'of the mind in the heart', and if one or the other constituent is absent it is not prayer at all. This book is not just about theory it is also about the practicalities of prayer. The author's concern is to help people discover their role of prayer in a way of living where contemplation and action harmonize so that they can 'pray without ceasing' in a busy world.

Rethinking Christendom

This new book calls for Europe to rediscover the spirit of Christendom and pleads for an informed understanding of Christianity's historical contribution, free from today's political and ideological disputes. If European history is a verdant plain, then Christianity is the river which flows through it. It is a river with various sources: Judaic tradition, oriental faiths, Greek philosophy, Roman law. And it has been broadened by incoming streams over two millennia from Celtic and Germanic culture to humanism and Romanticism – embracing and re-directing them, but also being enriched and deepened by them.

The failure of the European Union's Constitutional Treaty has raised serious questions about the Continent's future. Christian Churches are active in this debate, as social and cultural forces with influence and outreach. Rethinking Christendom explores the background to today's discussions, drawing on views and perspectives from East and West. This book is a plea for a realistic and informed understanding of Christianity's past, present and future role – in a region where all faiths, worldviews and philosophies can and should coexist in a mutual creative harmony.

The Stargazer of Hardwicke

One of the best loved Victorian astronomers, Thomas William Webb (1806-1885) was driven by a strong desire to inform and enthuse others with his own passion for 'star-gazing' – the viewing of the wonders and glories of creation under ordinary circumstances'. From his vicarage at Hardwicke, near Hay on Wye, there issued a stream of books, articles and letters on the subject. He is a fine example of the type of English 'parson naturalist' who, while pursuing his passion for the wonders of the heavens, nonetheless conscientiously fulfilled his calling in a tranquil corner of England.

The Theology of the Body Made Simple

Anthony Percy

Who am I? What am I? Great questions – but where do I begin to find the answers? The Theology of the Body is a good starting point. It is a dynamic new way of understanding who we are. Theology of the Body Made Simple beautifully communicates that the universal vocation of all humanity is to love as a sincere gift of self. The book will introduce you to the basic experiences and concepts taught by Pope John Paul II. It will give you confidence: confidence to know who you are and in your ability to speak the truth in love.

Theology of the Body will be one of the greatest of the many great legacies of Pope John Paul II. Fr Percy's book provides a fine introduction to this tremendous resource for evangelisation and the renewal of hope in our world.

Upon this Rock and A Catechism of the Holy Rosary

Walled About With God

Translated by Br David Hayes

The enclosure of nuns is a sign of contradiction in today's world. What are the origins of cloistered life? Written by cloistered women, this unique book examines the question from a biblical, historical, spiritual and theological perspective, showing that the roots of enclosure plunge into the very origins of religious life of both men and women in the early Church, and examines forms of enclosure chosen and developed by women themselves.

William Bernard Ullathorne 1806 –1889

Celebrating the bi-centenary of his birth this is the first new biography of Ullathorne since 1926. As a monk he was inspired by the powerful blend of stability and freedom which is the spirit of St Benedict, and as a bishop he became a wise father to the diocesan clergy and the greatest advocate and friend of women who found their fulfilment in convent life. His large heart, practical common sense and instinctive faith in God made him a humane and sympathetic leader, religious superior and friend, and a far more interesting and complex person than has perhaps been appreciated.
