Sacred Heart: Gateway to God. Wendy M. Wright

"This book, then, is about the Sacred Heart...about the long Christian devotion to that heart--its history, iconography, prayer, theology, hymnody, and liturgical life--told against the present day back drop of story, prayer, visual imagery, and song.  It is also a book about the way I have come to know Jesus whose heart images our truest heart."  From Wendy Wright's Preface.  A deeply personal Book suffused with Saints Francis, Jane and Margaret Mary.

The Committed Life: an adaptation of the Introduction to the Devout Life by St. Francis de Sales. William Meninger

The author, a Trappist Monk in Colorado, states that his book is not a translation or paraphrase of the Introduction. He hesitated to rewrite Francis's classic work but felt that its outdated style required that its teaching be re-expressed in a contemporary idiom, with the �fervent hope that something of his charisma and the heart of his teaching remains."

Readers familiar with DeSales will vary in their assessment of how well Fr. Meninger has realized this hope, but if his adaptation prompts them to re-think the book, or leads religious seekers to read Francis�s actual writing and to embrace a committed Christian life, it will have served its purpose splendidly.        #9 152 pp  $12.95  

 

      

Francis de Sales. Dirk Koster, O.S.F.S.

Fr. Koster, a member of the Oblates' Netherlands Province, has dedicated himself to retelling the story of St. Francis in a fresh down-to-earth way, ''as he himself would have liked to be depicted." Readers are already hailing the result, in Dutch and now in English, as "one of the most colorful and readable biographies of DeSales ever written." (R. Calvert, OSFS)

A visually beautiful book with full color cover and 84 monochrome photographs creatively spread throughout the text, it is a great read and a great gift.             #110 288 pp. $30.00
