The Mystery of Death
Buy online
This book is a conversation with the reader. It introduces the issues of death, suffering, accountability,
and happiness in a way that draws the readers into a time of personal reflection. Through writing in a journal, collecting their own thoughts, impressions, memories and responses to what they are reading, they should come to a clearer
understanding and commitment to their own beliefs. Life is a mystery. And so is death.

The Seven Virtues
Buy online
Theology is not so much what we know or think; it’s a way to describe who we are and why we do what
we do. Being faithful to the gospel, taking Christianity seriously and trying to make your life conform to it, is a test of character. It’s a life of self-definition and self-discipline. A classic way to describe this kind of self-transformation
is to talk about the virtues: Faith, hope, love, prudence, justice, temperance and fortitude. Why live by the virtues? The answer dates back to Aristotle: to achieve happiness.

Become A Peacemaker

This text is an invitation to begin a journey towards religious tolerance. Inspired by the life of Jesus Christ, Christians can embody a spirit of openness, friendship and solidarity to build new bridges in a world being torn apart by religious hatred, violence and chaos. The text is centered on key principles of theology and on a set of meditations: "let us make it our prayer and our endeavor, to open our minds and hearts to the challenges that we face every day. May we grow in strength and purpose, mindful of God's will in our lives, so that we might encounter our neighbor with openness and peace."
