Dorothy Day: Radical Devotion introduces readers to the amazing life of Dorothy Day, reviews her impact on the church and peace and justice movements, and provides an informative understanding of the process of canonization.
"This is a remarkable and bold book by Paulist Press... It is a treat to read, to own and share; to leave open on a particularly lovely page."
The Tablet
"The graphic novel, as it turns out, is the perfect medium to convey the nuance, power and multi-dimensionality of Day's legacy... Most essentially, Radical Devotion offers an invaluable compendium for those who want to learn about Dorothy, warts and all, while also learning about what made her so important: her radical devotion."

| Description: |
'From where will we draw the moral energy to stay true to justice?' For more than three decades the incomparable voice of Raimond Gaita has been summoning us to new conversations that deepen our understanding of what matters most to human life and awaken the sense of our common humanity. For Gaita, we are never more fully alive than when we are fully present to one another in conversation.
In a time when modes of communication tend to superficiality and self-promotion, when political debates are increasingly inured to lies and even violence, and the moral demands of dialogue give way to a torrent of competing monologues, Gaita's invitation to rediscover what genuine conversation requires of us could not be more timely. |

| Description: |
God is a God of love, justice, and peace. And he has called his people to make him known to the nations by imitating him. Whereas the kingdoms of the world manifest power through violence, it was against the powers of the world that Jesus tells his disciples, "Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword" (Matt 26:52). Jesus was saying, this is not how we do things in my kingdom.
In light of this observation, the question now becomes, "What does this mean when it comes to war, especially war in the Middle East?" This book attempts to address this question by framing it first in light of the mission of God's people (part 1). Then it examines the central issues related to the promises to Abraham of family (descendants) and land (part 2). Finally, it addresses some of the present issues surrounding the war on Gaza and the larger Israeli-Palestinian conflict (part 3). |

| Description: |
"Reading the Bible in Australia" examines how the Bible shapes Australian identity and addresses contemporary issues such as indigeneity, colonization, migration, gender, and climate. The book brings diverse perspectives to the Bible's influence on debates about who Australians have been, are, and hope to become.
Contributors offer new, contextually informed readings of biblical themes, questioning the outcomes of interpreting the Bible in different ways. Acknowledging the harm caused by the Bible's misuse in history, the book argues that biblical literacy and critical analysis are essential for navigating Australia's current challenges. As Meredith Lake's The Bible in Australia suggests, understanding how the Bible has been interpreted can aid Australians in making informed choices about their future. Love it or hate it, there is no getting around the reality that the Bible, and how it is read, still matters. |

| Description: |
In Sacred Times, Paul Turner offers a practical guide on the General Roman Calendar and Table of Liturgical Days that explains how it came to be and why these celebrations matter.
"May a funeral take place on a Sunday"? "Why do we celebrate the saints on certain days"? "?What happens when the liturgical calendars clash"? These are some of the countless questions that priests, deacons, and liturgists may have about the relative weight of days in the liturgical calendar. Paul Turner offers a practical commentary on the General Roman Calendar and the Table of Liturgical Days that explains what the calendar honours, how it came to be, and why these celebrations matter.
The Liturgical Year guides the faithful through a participation in the key moments of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ - from Advent and Christmas to Lent and Easter. Sacred Times explains contemporary use in the light of previous practice and the vision of the Second Vatican Council. It outlines how the General Roman Calendar celebrates key saints with special days throughout the year and explains how the Table of Liturgical Days orders these observances to clarify which ones takes priorities over the others. Sacred Times also includes an alphabetical list of days and additional reference tools, making this a handy volume for every reader. |

| Description: |
Does my life have any deeper meaning? Does God really care about me? How can I find and follow my moral compass? What do I do when my faith is shaken to the core? Spiritual trials, doubts, or conflicts are often intertwined with mental health concerns, yet many psychotherapists feel ill equipped to discuss questions of faith.
From pioneers in the psychology of religion and spirituality, this book combines state-of-the-art research, clinical insights, and vivid case illustrations. It guides clinicians to understand spiritual struggles as critical crossroads in life that can lead to brokenness and decline--or to greater wholeness and growth. Clinicians learn sensitive, culturally responsive ways to assess different types of spiritual struggles and help clients use them as springboards to change. |
