Description:
Vatican reporter Colleen Dulle offers a candid, hope-filled exploration of faith tested from within the Catholic Church. Drawing on her experience reporting on abuse scandals, institutional corruption, mistreatment of women, and political entanglements, Dulle describes the deep spiritual dissonance that arises when the church's moral failures threaten belief itself.
Dulle brings readers into her personal struggle to remain Catholic while witnessing these crises up close. Each chapter revisits a major church controversy alongside her interior response of anger, grief, doubt, and honest prayer that often included yelling at God.
Rather than providing easy answers, Dulle shows how faith was gradually renewed through encounters with God, the saints, faithful Catholics, supportive priests, fellow journalists, and the quiet work of the Holy Spirit. The result is a powerful testimony of solidarity and perseverance, reminding readers that while the church may fail, spiritual hope endures and remains worth fighting for.
Season of Hope is a devotional designed for older adults seeking spiritual encouragement during the Lenten season.
Presented in a clear large-print format, it offers daily reflections centred on hope, faith, and Christ's journey toward the Cross and Resurrection.
Each meditation invites readers to reflect on their own life experiences in the light of the Gospel, encouraging prayer, trust in God, and a renewed sense of purpose.

We can choose to enlarge our sense of things when pain and fear make us small. We can choose to delight in the never-ending practice of course-correcting and tuning as we go.
Falling Down and Getting Up introduces readers to their own gifts and wisdom, helping them explore the perennial practices and choice-points we all face in life.
Australian Jesuit Frank Brennan, SJ offers a concise yet rich reflection on the transformative, often disruptive papacy of Pope Francis.
Drawing on his own Jesuit background and pastoral experience, Brennan explores how Francis' vision, grounded in mercy, justice, and spiritual courage, has unsettled traditional structures to renew the urgency of the Gospel. Rather than an exhaustive biography, this work serves as a "roadmap for pilgrims" in a modern, evangelising church.
Brennan highlights key themes of synodality, ecological conversion (inspired by Laudato Si'), and the call to reach those on the margins and peripheries. He provides an "insider" perspective on the Ignatian spirituality that drives Francis' radical openness to a complex world. This book is a timely guide for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of a papacy that prioritized listening and mission over institutional rigidity.
