SINOPSIS :
Written by American author and dedicated abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe, Uncle Tom’s Cabin is a poignant novel which shows the harsh reality of a slave’s life in the 1800s. Uncle Tom, an African-American slave who believes in the power of Christian faith. The book would be a major contributor to the Civil War because its compelling portrayal of slaves as fellow human beings left little room for compromise: if slaves were indeed human, then no justification for slavery was possible.While this tale is heavy with the suffering of slavery, its strong characters and their songs show the resilience of those with love for God and how that love can overcome even the worst conditions. Being the second best-selling book of the 20th century, Stowe’s compelling story is one that will empower you to consider who might not be regarded as humans, today, and what that means for us in the 21st century.This edition includes the 6 illustrations by Hammatt Billings commissioned by John P. Jewett for the original 1852 release of Uncle Tom's Cabin.

SINOPSIS :
Written after his wife's tragic death as a way of surviving the mad midnight moment, A Grief Observed is C.S. Lewis's honest reflection on the fundamental issues of life, death, and faith in the midst of loss. This work contains his concise, genuine reflections on that period: Nothing will shake a man -- or at any rate a man like me -- out of his merely verbal thinking and his merely notional beliefs. He has to be knocked silly before he comes to his senses. Only torture will bring out the truth. Only under torture does he discover it himself. This is a beautiful and unflinchingly honest record of how even a stalwart believer can lose all sense of meaning in the universe, and how he can gradually regain his bearings.

You’ll be able to see how God gives insight and understanding for overcoming struggles when you write down what you learn each day.We are to admonish and encourage each other (Colossians 3:16) to help each other grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18). If we write our prayers and the things God is teaching us, we’ll be able to use lessons from our own growth to help someone else.When you use this journal consistently, you’ll be able to see a pattern of how God shows up in your life. Every thirty days, take advantage of the opportunity to reflect on what God has been teaching you. Then adjust your goals and keep going.Use this opportunity to encourage yourself by reading what you wrote in the past. If you have a difficult day (and we all do), go back and read some of your entries for “What I did well today”.BUY NOW to start tracking your spiritual growth today!

SINOPSIS :
Would you suffer and die for Christ?When the Church does not feel pain with those that are part of them, the Church's nerves ... become dead. Sabrina Wurmbrand, Co-founder of The Voice of the MartyrsIn 1563, John Foxe began writing a book in tribute to Christian martyrs, beginning with Stephen, the first believer who died for the cause of Christ. Foxe's original work ended with the martyrs of his own day — those who were killed during the reign of Bloody Mary. He wanted the Church to remember the martyrs, for he knew that the blood of the martyrs truly is the seed of the Church.Martyrdom is not a thing of the past. The Christian Church continues to endure great persecution in many places around the world. In fact, more Christians were affected by persecution, including martyrdom, during the twentieth century than in all previous centuries combined. Listen to the cries of the martyrs, and let their faith, courage, and love touch your life.This classic work will stir you, challenge you, and inspire you to surrender everything to Christ. It will greatly build your faith.

SINOPSIS :
Would you rather be a person of significance or a person of prominence?Think carefully! The answer to that question will shape your entire future.Pastor, teacher, and beloved author Charles Swindoll says, “Somehow life has taught us poorly. We’re trained to think that the most significant people are star athletes, actors, and musicians - the ones we applaud, those whose autographs we seek, those who have worldly renown. They aren’t. Not really. Most often, the people really worth noting are those who turn a ‘nobody’ into a ‘somebody’ but never receive credit.” What is forgotten far too often is this: Success in God’s kingdom and in the church depends upon faithful people the public rarely knows.The Old Testament contains numerous fascinating stories of forgotten lives - unsung heroes whose actions, sacrifices, or battles failed to ascribe them worldly renown. These great lives, however, reveal significant people whom God honors in the pages of his word and, therefore, deserve our serious attention and emulation.Adino took out 800 armed, skilled fighting men with his sword.Eleazar attacked the Philistines by himself for so long that his comrades had to pry his sword out of his grip.Shammah, while his companions ran like scared cats from their enemies, stood his ground - alone - and was victorious.And yet, did you recall any of their names? They’re not on the rolls of the rich and famous. Still, they are significant.In this eighth volume of the best-selling Great Lives from God’s Word series, Chuck will examine little-remembered Bible characters and events. He will help you discover biblical principles and practical applications for living so that you can be who you are in God’s estimation...a person of true significance.

Not really. Most often, the people really worth noting are those who turn a ‘nobody’ into a ‘somebody’ but never receive credit.” What is forgotten far too often is this: Success in God’s kingdom and in the church depends upon faithful people the public rarely knows.The Old Testament contains numerous fascinating stories of forgotten lives - unsung heroes whose actions, sacrifices, or battles failed to ascribe them worldly renown. These great lives, however, reveal significant people whom God honors in the pages of his word and, therefore, deserve our serious attention and emulation.Adino took out 800 armed, skilled fighting men with his sword.Eleazar attacked the Philistines by himself for so long that his comrades had to pry his sword out of his grip.Shammah, while his companions ran like scared cats from their enemies, stood his ground - alone - and was victorious.And yet, did you recall any of their names? They’re not on the rolls of the rich and famous. Still, they are significant.In this eighth volume of the best-selling Great Lives from God’s Word series, Chuck will examine little-remembered Bible characters and events. He will help you discover biblical principles and practical applications for living so that you can be who you are in God’s estimation...a person of true significance.

SINOPSIS :
Would this hymnal be useful in our parish?First, this is a hymnal for anyone, for homes, schools and churches.Churches today are divided, some using a hymnal with readings and some printing a weekly music sheet handed out at Mass. How does this new hymnal of traditional hymns fit into our music program?This is a Supplemental Hymnal. It does not replace your current Hymnal/Missal but is instead a permanent hymnal, putting 295 hymns back in the pews, hymns that have over the last half-century, been replaced by modern songs in missal/hymnals. And they are in full harmony, which is rare in all but a few Catholic hymnals today.Using a Printed Weekly Music Sheet? This hymnal has the potential to save you the expense of printing up to four pages a week in the bulletin, which can add up to a tidy sum annually and the savings will, in not too many years, pay them off. Instead, just print the number and name of the hymn in your bulletin.We present this book to propose not that hymns replace the proper chants for a particular day’s Mass* but live happily alongside them. In most instances, the proper chants for processions might be sung by the cantors and choirs as the texts change with every Sunday and solemnity, so in most cases, it’s not practical for the congregation to learn and sing them.The background of this hymnal:“Music and silence—how I detest them both!” --Screwtape, under-secretary to the devil, The Screwtape Letters by C. S. LewisIt’s easy to see why the enemies of mankind would hate and fear both sacred silence and sacred music. Both bring joy, spur contemplation, and draw the soul nearer to the Lord. Both have been part of our private prayer as well as our communal liturgy for thousands of years.The Psalms--biblical songs of praise, supplication, and wonder--have been sung for three thousand years. Naturally, Jesus, His disciples, and later the early Christian community also sang hymns (from the Greek word meaning “songs of praise”), as The New Testament makes clear.We sing because we love, and sung praise elevates our words, takes them out of the realm of the commonplace, and increases our joy. The holy pleasure of singing to God involves the entire person--spirit, heart, mind, and body--and unites us not only with the Divine but also with one another as a worshiping community. This collection of hymns for the singing Catholic congregation exemplifies the best of the genre. These songs are religiously orthodox, beautiful, sacred, and--for the most part--familiar. But here you will also find worthy hymn tunes and texts that are new to you.And at the conclusion of Mass, a suitable hymn can send the people forth with the praise of Almighty God on their lips.May this book bring joy to all who sing from it!You may want to begin by buying a few books for the organist and cantor or singers for funeral Masses where many of the older. beloved hymns are requested, more for the choir and eventually, the entire congregation. Having this full-harmony hymnal in the hands of the congregation will work to improve the singing of your people. Let the musicians in your congregation sing in their own voice, which has always been the goal of hymn composers!Sacred Music Library editions are also available in larger format books, 7 by 10, for Choir, Organ, Simple Organ and Chord edition. We even offer the hymns as A Prayer Book of Hymns without music for Adoration chapels and individuals.This is a permanent hymnal, totally immune to translation changes to the Mass or the Readings - the next planned for 2025 - as these hymns are the original texts with no modern text updates.

SINOPSIS :
Worship leaders, vocalists and every member of the body of Christ You are a singer! You are called to sing the new song to the Lord. This is what you were born for.

For worship leaders in the church, Called to Sing will show us how we can incorporate prophetic singing into our services and what the relationship is between prophetic singers and musicians. Through scripture and testimony, let this book inspire you to sing the songs from your heart to the Lord as well as the songs on the Lord's heart for His people. SING!

SINOPSIS :
Worship is a daunting task.For that reason, God gave us the Psalms. This collection of hymns and petitions was written over a span of centuries, in many different settings, by kings such as David and Solomon and commoners like Asaph, Heman, and the sons of Korah. Some of the psalms are defiant others are reverent. Some are meant to be sung others are to be prayed. Some are intensely personal others are written as if the whole world is to use them. But all have one purpose – to help us express our hears to God. So don’t just read these psalms but actually pray them along with the saints who composed them. As you do, you will experience their energy, appreciate their honesty, and enjoy their creativity.TheLife Lessons with Max Lucadoseries brings the Bible to life in twelve lessons filled with intriguing questions, inspirational stories, and poignant reflections to take you deeper into God’s Word. Each lesson includes an opening reflection, background information, an excerpt of the text (from theNew InternationalandNew King Jamesversions), exploration questions, inspirational thoughts from Max, and a closing takeaway for further reflection. TheLife Lessonsseries is ideal for use in both a small-group setting and for individual study.

SINOPSIS :
World-renowned evangelist, Emmy Award winner and New York Times best-selling author Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen presents a collection of engaging sermons, encouraging the reader to understand that the seven deadly sins can be overcome. Throughout this series of talks, Archbishop Sheen will provide some valuable insights on how to overcome the various forms of sin and vice. Using the Seven Last Words spoken by Jesus from the Cross on Calvary as a backdrop, Sheen will address matters concerning various addictions and patterns of habitual sin. He will use his inimitable writing style, with immediacy, yet conveying joy and comfort in the subject matter.These meditations on the Seven Last Words correlated to the seven deadly sins make no pretence to absoluteness. The Words are not necessarily related to the seven deadly sins but they do make convenient points of illustrations.HELP IN OVERCOMING THE SIN OF ANGER “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.”HELP IN OVERCOMING THE SIN OF ENVY “This day thou shalt be with Me in Paradise.”HELP IN OVERCOMING THE SIN OF LUST “Woman, behold thy son! (Son) Behold thy mother!”HELP IN OVERCOMING THE SIN OF PRIDE “My God! My God! Why hast Thou hast abandoned Me?”HELP IN OVERCOMING THE SIN OF GLUTTONY “I thirst.”HELP IN OVERCOMING THE SIN OF SLOTH “It is finished.”HELP IN OVERCOMING THE SIN OF COVETOUSNESS “Father, into Thy Hands, I commend My Spirit.”This book has only one aim: to awaken a love for Our Lord and to give the reader an understanding of how the Seven Last Words can be used as a remedy to help one to overcome the seven deadly sins of anger, envy, lust, pride, gluttony, sloth, and covetousness. If it does that in but one soul, its publication has been justified.Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen was a man for all seasons. Over his lifetime, he spent himself for souls, transforming lives with the clear teaching of the truths of Christ and His Church through his books, his radio addresses, his lectures, his television series, and his many newspaper columns.The topics of this much-sought-after lecturer ranged from the social concerns of the day to matters of faith and morals. With an easy and personable manner, Sheen could strike up a conversation on just about any subject, making numerous friends as well as converts.During the 1930s and 󈧬s, Fulton Sheen was the featured speaker on The Catholic Hour radio broadcast, and millions of listeners heard his radio addresses each week. His topics ranged from politics and the economy to philosophy and man’s eternal pursuit of happiness.Possessing a burning zeal to dispel the myths about Our Lord and His Church, Sheen gave a series of powerful presentations on Christ’s Passion and His seven last words from the Cross. As a Scripture scholar, Archbishop Sheen knew full well the power contained in preaching Christ crucified. With St. Paul, he could say, “For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified” (1 Cor. 2:2).During his last recorded Good Friday address in 1979, Archbishop Sheen spoke of having given this type of reflection on the subject of Christ’s seven last words from the Cross “for the fifty-eighth consecutive time.” Whether from the young priest in Peoria, Illinois, the university professor in Washington, D.C., or the bishop in New York, Sheen’s messages were sure to make an indelible mark on his listeners.Given their importance and the impact they had on society, it seemed appropriate to reintroduce these reflections once again on overcoming the seven deadly sins.God Love You.

SINOPSIS :
World-renowned Bible translator and commentator George M. Lamsa explains nearly one thousand crucial idioms that will enrich reading of the Old and New Testaments for students and general reader alike.Lamsa, who was raised speaking Aramaic in a community that followed customs largely unchanged since the times of Christ, offers fresh, accurate translations of important idioms, metaphors, and figures of speech found in the Scripture--and provides clear explanations of their meaning of biblical context.Just as Shakespeare, Milton, and Browning wrote in the vernacular for English-speaking people, Moses the prophets, and the apostles wrote for their own people in the plain language of their times, so that even the unlearned might understand God's Word. Over the centuries, inaccurate translations and misunderstandings of customs and concepts have led to difficulties in bringing the biblical message to contemporary English-speaking readers.For example, when a man says to Jesus, let me bury my father, Lamsa points out that this expression means, Let me first take care of my father until he dies. Traditionally, scholars assumed that this man's father was dead and that Jesus was not interested in his burial. Lamsa's scholarship offers a more accurate understanding of the intent and spirit of this passage.Idioms in the Bible Explained and a Key to the Original Gospels goes far in correcting such errors that have crept into Biblical scholarship. Obscure and difficult passages from both Old and New Testaments are listed and compared with the King James version (though it will be helpful when used with any English version). These make clear the original meaning of such ancient idioms and assure that our grasp of the biblical message is more sound and rewarding.To further uncover the original teachings of Scripture, Idioms in the Bible Explained and a Key to the Original Gospels, Lamsa discusses at greater length such topics as The Language of Jesus, Aramaic Phraseology, The Sayings of Jesus, Early Translations, and more..

SINOPSIS :
Women: you're not alone in your marriage. You never have been, and you never will be. While it may not always feel like it, God desires for you to have a relationally healthy, emotionally engaged, and spiritually mature husband with whom you can share your days.In Loving Him Well, Gary Thomas builds on concepts from his best-selling book Sacred Marriage to reveal the inner workings of a man's heart and mind. He delves into Scriptures that help women gain biblical insight to influence their husbands.
