Divine Revelation
The Bible According to Vatican II

Henri de Lubac

This commentary by Henri de Lubac on Dei Verbum, the Second Vatican Council’s Constitution on Divine Revelation, is a treatise on revelation and faith which remains strikingly relevant today. In pages nourished by Scripture and the Fathers, pulsating with a profound love for Jesus Christ, and attentive to the uncertainties of our time, de Lubac tells us what constitutes the heart of Christianity and the axis of his own life: Revelation is inseparable from the gift God makes of himself to man, and faith is nothing other than the acceptance of this unimaginable gift, communion in the very mystery of God.

He opened orphanages and boarding schools for thousands of poor children, and not only in South Korea. He built what he called Boystowns and Girlstowns in the Philippines and Mexico too, and he founded the Sisters of Mary and the Brothers of Christ to run them.

The Promises of Christ

Milton Walsh

This book invites readers to “take Jesus at his word” and draw strength from what he promises. For some people, his promises seem to be too good to be true. But they are true, and he proves it. For others, the temptation is not that the promises are too good, but that they themselves are too bad: they could never be worthy to receive what God wants to give. But Jesus first spoke these promises to weak, sinful, people, and that is whom he addresses now.

The Story of J R R Tolkien
Cheri Blomquist

The fascinating true story of J.R.R. Tolkien, the beloved author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, is told for young people in this new Vision Book. Few, if any, novels in Western literature have received more acclaim than these fantasy novels by Tolkien, yet not many readers know much about the inspiring life of their author.  Even fewer know that both novels, epic in their scope and splendor, are infused with Tolkien’s devoutly Catholic worldview. This powerful true story of J.R.R. Tolkien’s life before the entrance of a little hobbit named Bilbo is fascinating and often moving to all who seek to follow Our Lord faithfully, even when no joy or meaning shimmers in the distance.

To Wheel and the Clay
The Inner Lives of Christian Artists

Jayd Henricks

“Behold, like clay in the potter’s hand, so are you in my hand, O house of Israel” (Jer 18:6).

How easily we forget that we are, at every moment, shaped with care by a Creator. Artists, however—who know intimately the blood, sweat, and tears of the creative process—can help us sense how marvelous it is to be created: the patience, the detail, the joy. In this essential collection, thirty-one Christian artists from various disciplines, from music to poetry to film to sculpture, offer personal essays on the strange experience of following God’s lead by making beautiful things.The Wheel and the Clay is an indispensable resource for any artist, or indeed any Christian interested in the arts.
