By Cardinal George Pell
At a tiome when "the God question" has rarely been more controversial, test Everything: Hold fast to what is good puts the case that: "It is more reasonable to bbelieve in God than to rejhect the hypothesis of God appealing to chance. Goodness truth and beauty call for an explanation..." Cardinal Pell gives them a provocative incitement to think and wonder about life's biggest questions taht confront us all.
In the worldwide best seller Values in a Time of
Upheaval, Joseph Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) passionately defends the role traditional
Judeo-Christian values should play in a
pluralistic society and a multicultural world.
He examines such crucial contemporary issues as
the moral foundations of a free society, the
role of spiritual values in promoting human rights,
current challenges to Western culture, and the
place of faith and love of God in finding true
peace. Joseph Ratzinger proposes a balance of
faith and reason that avoids the extremes of
fundamentalist theocracies and secular,
relativist states.
TOPICS INCLUDE:
* Politics and morality
* peace
* the meaning of history truth in a pluralistic world
* the moral basis of democratic states relativism
* human dignity
* the Christian basis for hope bioethics
* freedom
* human rights and responsibilities marriage and family
* tradition and progress
THROUGH THEIR EYES SHARPLY * A SLICE OF AUSTRALIAN JOSEPHITE LIFE *
For over a century, Catholic primary schools have made an immensely valuable contribution to education in Australia. This book explores the personal experiences of many who have been and are involved in such schooling as sisters, teachers, parents or students. Their memories evoke a keen sense of both the positive and the harsh realities of school life.
This Australian book is a slice of life, of Josephite life, of Australian life, of the life of a little school which becomes a giant school because in reading its story we discover something important about the nation and about the faith.
What do priests do from Monday to Saturday each week? Hopefully those who read this book will conclude that the life of the parish priest is fulfilling indeed – filled with active ministry, prayer and study.

DIVINE MERCY IN MY SOUL DIARY OF SAINT MARIA FAUSTINA KOWALSKA
The Diary is a dramatic telling of St Maria Faustina Kowalska’s amazing encounter with The Divine Mercy – our Lord Jesus Christ.
On Mercy Sunday 2006, Pope Benedict XVI said, “The mystery of the merciful love of God was the centre of the pontificate of my venerable predecessor (Pope John Paul II)…evidencing that the devotion to Divine Mercy is not a secondary, but an integral dimension of a Christian’s faith and prayer.”
The Diary chronicles God’s message given through St. Faustina to the world to turn to His mercy. The message of Divine Mercy has become an integral part of Catholic faith, including the celebration of the Feast of Divine Mercy on the Sunday after Easter as Jesus had requested of St Faustina.
Diary is truly a book that inspires people to turn with trust to Jesus and guides the reader through an intimate journey of prayer and devotion that ultimately leads to God’s mercy.
