Greatest Is Charity $29.99 “That the name of Andrew Reed (1787-1862) should be better known will be obvious to all who read Dr Ian Shaw’s excellent biography- Here is the story of one of the truly great preachers of the Victorian age, who built up a church of under a hundred to one regularly numbering around two thousand, during his half century as pastor – in Stepney, London- Above all, Andrew Reed is to be remembered for his vital work in establishing three orphanages, two homes for those with what we call today “learning disabilities’ and a “hospice’ for those with severe physical disabilities.

Charity & Religion in Medieval Europe $59.95 “Benevolence toward the poor in medieval Europe rested upon ideological foundations established by Christianity and was practiced by a diverse body of clerics and lay people. Charity and Religion in Medieval Europe is the first comprehensive study of the ideas that underlie medieval generosity and of the institutions created to serve the poor. It traces the roots of this liberality to the patristic era and demonstrates how the ideas of twelfth-century reformers, especially Pope Innocent III, broadened and deepened societys commitment to the downtrodden.” |

The Sacrament of Charity: Sacramentum Caritatis $6.95 “Set alongside his first encyclical God Is Love (Deus Caritas Est) where he stressed the relationship between the Eucharist and love, The Sacrament of Charity picks up that theme and expands it as he explores the mystery of eucharistic faith and how it reveals the mystery of the Trinity. Released on the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter, the Holy Father examines the important relationship between the Eucharist and the other sacraments, including the sacrament of the Church. He also highlights the social implications of the Eucharist and firmly connects it with the Church’s social teaching.” |

The Betrayal of Charity: The Sins That Sabotage Divine Love $24.95 “>Love was at one time a powerfully unifying force among Christians. In his letters, Paul consistently evokes charity as the avenue to both human and divine communion. If the magnitude of charity was of the upmost importance to early Christians, so were those sins that aimed to distract Christians from acting based on love. Taking seriously the efforts of Paul, and later Thomas Aquinas, to expose and root out the sins against charity, Matthew Levering reclaims the centrality of love for moral, and in fact all, theology.As Levering argues, the practice of charity leads to inner joy and peace as well as outward mercy, good will, and unity with God and neighbor. The sins against charity–hatred, sloth, envy, discord and contention, schism, war and strife, and sedition and scandal–threaten love’s concrete effects by rebelling against dependence on God and undermining interdependence on others. The Betrayal of Charity seriously considers the consequences of each of the sins against love, compelling individuals and communities to recognize their own loss of charity. In doing so, Levering fosters a spirit of restoration and reminds readers that love–not the sins against it–will have the last word.” |

The Augustine Catechism: The Enchiridion on Faith, Hope and Charity $13.95 “New edition and revised translation Written as a favor for a friend, this little work is a wonderful explanation of the Christian faith a true catechism from which, throughout the history of the church, other catechisms have drawn and learned. Augustine first works his way through the creed, and then the Lords Prayer as recorded by Matthew, ending with the sacraments. This is a colossal work in one small volume.” |

On Christian Belief $44 “The seven works of Augustine that are contained in this volume all deal with the problem of faith in God. They were written over the course of three decades, beginning with True Religion (390) and extending to the Enchiridion on Faith, Hope, and Charity (c. 421). Hence this selection of writings provides an impressive insight into the intellectual and spiritual development of one of the greatest of all Western minds, as it grappled with a question that has never ceased to preoccupy and stimulate Western thought Is it reasonable to believe in God, and what form might such belief take? Each of these seven works is a new translation into contemporary English, and each is introduced by the German Augustinian scholar Michael Fiedrowicz, who has also written a valuable general introduction.” |

Kentucky Wildcats $8.18 Forget what people might say at Duke or North Carolina, UCLA or Kansas. Nobody loves their college basketball program like Kentucky fans — nobody. Where else but Kentucky would a charity auction see a book signed by former President Jimmy Carter go for $70 … and a basketball signed by Joe B. Hall go for $300? That happened in 2003, a good twenty years after both men had done their best work. You’ll find Hall in this book, by the way. Kentucky fans sell out Rupp Arena for home games and invade opposing gyms for road games, earning the nickname The Blue Mist. Kentucky fans loved their basketball players, and that love doesn’t fade over time. Years and even decades after their playing careers are finished, Kentucky basketball players routinely win whatever political office they seek in their home state. The 2003 election for state agriculture commissioner came down to one former Kentucky guard (Richie Farmer) against the wife of another former Kentucky guard (Scotty) Baesler). You’ll find Farmer and Baesler in this book, by the way. This book is for you, Wildcat Nation. Catch up with more than 50 of your former heroes, guys who went on to become politicians and pastors, artists and dentists, convicts and coaches. Catch up with two former victims of Duke villain Christian Laettner — Aminu Timberlake (The Stomp) and Deron Feldhaus (The Shot). Learn the heart-warming tale of Dirk Minniefield, who overcame his drug addiction to become a drug cunselor for the NBA. Learn the heartbreak of Tom Payne, who broke Kentucky’s color barrier in 1970 in his only season with the Wildcats but has spent most of his adult life in prison. Whatever happened to perhaps the greatest Wildcat of all time, Bill Spivey? It’s in this book. How about Tubby Smith’s son and point guard, Saul Smith? He’s in here, too. Mike Casey? Gimel Martinez? Lou Tsioropoulos? In here, in here, in here. You don’t have to be Bob Wiggins, who once saw 615 consecutive UK game and remains the most intense Kentuc |

Lonesome Stray $3.99 The story is based on my life in Institutions in Ireland in the 1930s and ’40s, and my subsequent disposal (their word) to a strange woman who took me to an even stranger outside world. As a seventeen-year-old, free for the first time I made my way to the UK to join the forces. Christmas and free time were spent on camp or travelling to different parts of the country, staying overnight at YMCAs and Bed and Breakfast places. That was until, in a small mining village in Co. Durham, I’d found the love I’d never known, in the form of an eighteen-year-old factory girl whom I married three years later.It was not until 2006 did I discover why I’d spent my formative years in State custody. Under the Freedom of Information Act, offical documents reveal, I was charged as a two year old at Dublin District Court with receiving Alms. The named judge ordered me to be detained till my sixteenth birthday.I was placed in the custody of the Sisters of Charity in Co. Kilkenny until the age of ten, when I was considered old enough to start work. As a lone child I was transferred to the custody of the Christian Brothers at the notorious ‘Artane’ Industrial School on the outskirts of Dublin City. Those six years stained my very soal. |
