The Diary of Jesus Christ
Bill Cain, S.J.
Jesuit Bill Cain brings his talents as a playwright to reimagine familiar gospel stories from the perspective of Jesus, the central narrator of this "diary," whose self-understanding and sense of mission gradually unfold.
Along the way, we are surprised and moved by the emotional and spiritual immediacy of these stories.
As Greg Boyle, S.J., says in the foreward: "these are homilies housed in a diary."

Hope for Judas
Christoph Wrembek, S.J.
Beginning from a sculpture carved at the capital of a column in the medieval Basilica of St. Mary Magdalene in Vezelay, France, Fr. Wrembek will take you on a breath-taking, challenging, yet ultimately deeply touching journey through key stories of sacred scripture, stories about being lost but ultimately always about salvation.
"A beautiful meditation not simply on the story of Judas but on all of our stories, and the place of God's love, mercy and compassion, which can overcome any barrier, even
sin."
James Marin, SJ, author
$24.95

One Long River of Song
Brian DoyleA posthumous collection of Doyle's lyrical, sometimes mystical pieces about life and its gifts.
"Astonishing ...A remarkable book...Both hilarious and fierce...There is not enough ink in the world to do it justice...Brian Doyle was a writer 'made of love and song and amusement.'"
Margaret Renkl, New York Times Book Review
"Doyle often used his Catholicism to explore the human and natural worlds, but this is perhaps the most generous, universal 'religious writing' you'll ever read."
Bethanne Patrick, Washington Post
$17.99

twenty poems to pray
Gary M. BouchardDrawing from the poetry of generations of esteemed writers, Gary Bouchard shows how poems often express the longings of the human heart as a kind of prayer.

"This is a book to cherish, to teach, and to share."
David A. King, Professor of English
Kennesaw State University
".... a modern psalmody worthy of praying."
Thomasita Homan, OSB, Professor Emerita
Benedictine College

O Death, Where is thy sting?
