the deepest healing God offers. The entire book is framed against
Joni's visit to the healing pool of Bethesda to seek healing where

greatest solutions God has for them. As the journey continues,
readers deal with topics such as contentment, patience, unanswered
prayer, transformation through suffering, wrestling with God, and
hoping in God.
Immaculee Ilibagiza believes that praying the rosary spared her
from being slaughtered during the horrific 1994 Rwanda genocide, in
which her family and more than a million other innocent men, women,
and children were brutally murdered. Nearly two decades later,
Immaculee continues to pray the rosary every day and marvels at how
she is constantly renewed and richly rewarded by rejoicing in this
glorious prayer. It has helped her in every aspect of her life,
from literally saving her life to strengthening her faith, easing
sorrows, changing heartache into happiness, healing illnesses in
herself and others, solving family problems, landing a dream job,
finding long-lost friends, and even locating lost keys She received
so many blessings from the rosary, in fact, that she decided to
study its history and origins. She soon discovered that it was not
just meant for Catholics, but that the Virgin Mary promised a life
filled with blessings to everyone from any religion who faithfully
recited the rosary daily . . . and this was such wonderful news
that she vowed to share it with as many people as she could. In The
Rosary: The Prayer That Saved My Life, Immaculee reveals how the
rosary's many blessings can be reaped by each and every one of us.
In this moving and uplifting book, the New York Times bestselling
author recounts her personal experience of discovering the power
and the beauty of the ancient beads--and shows all of us how to
enrich our own lives by exploring and embracing the mysteries,
secrets, and promises of the prayer that became her "lifeline to
heaven."
J.C. Ryle has become one of the most loved of British authors on
church matters. He was the first Bishop of Liverpool, managing to
establish a thriving diocese in that most sectarian of English
cities. Although a convinced evangelical he was regarded as
fairminded by those who disagreed with him. Even Ryle's opponents
in church politics wept when he died. His books have remained in
print for a hundred years because Ryle was able to touch the person
in the street with clear teaching on doctrinal matters. He showed
how the Bible was relevant. His writings thus lend themselves to a
devotional format and here is a new selection different to any that
have gone before. Here Eric Russell has arranged writings according
to themes that develop the reader's understanding on a topic before
moving on to new pastures. It is as refreshing as it is profound.
Band 9 der zweisprachigen Ausgabe der Sermones ad populum bietet
die erstmalige deutsche UEbersetzung der drei Predigten zur
Apostelgeschichte 148-150. Die lateinischen Texte beruhen auf dem
Vergleich der bisherigen Editionen, im Fall von sermo 150 auch auf
Codex I 9 der Stadtbibliothek Mainz, der als Faksimile abgedruckt
wird. Die Kommentierung erlautert insbesondere UEberlieferung,
Chronologie, Struktur, Stil, historische Daten, biblisches
Gedankengut, Liturgie und Theologie der Predigten. Daruber hinaus
werden hagiographische und archaologische Daten sowie die
Verwendung der Apostelgeschichte im Gesamtwerk Augustins
dargestellt.
Evagrius Ponticus (345-399 n.Chr.) beschreibt in seiner Schrift de
oratione das Gebet als eine innere Haltung. Ausfuhrlich geht er auf
die Voraussetzungen des Gebets ein und auch die Bedrohungen, die er
als "Damonen" bezeichnet. Durch die Untersuchungen der Autorin
werden insbesondere zur Frage nach dem Verfasser von de oratione
neue Erkenntnisse gewonnen: Nur eine Grundsubstanz kann Evagrius
Ponticus zugeschrieben werden, nicht der gesamte Umfang der 153
Kapitel. Die gedankliche und sprachliche Abhangigkeit von Origenes,
Clemens von Alexandrien und Gregor von Nyssa wird herausgearbeitet.
Sie erklart auch die philosophische Pragung der theologischen
Schrift. Eine deutsche UEbersetzung von de oratione ist beigefugt.
Band 8 der zweisprachigen Ausgabe der Sermones ad populum enthalt
die langste aller erhaltenen Predigten Augustins, den 1990 in der
Mainzer Stadtbibliothek entdeckten Sermo Dolbeau 26. Er wird auf
der Grundlage der Mainzer Handschrift, die als Faksimile abgedruckt
wird, neu herausgegeben, erstmals ins Deutsche ubersetzt und
kommentiert. Die zweite, 1980 von Raymond Etaix erstmals edierte
Neujahrspredigt wird in gleicher Weise auf der Basis des Codex
Marston MS 208 in der Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library,
Universitat Yale, herausgegeben. Von den sieben Epiphanie-Predigten
werden vier erstmals ins Deutsche ubertragen. Die Kommentierung
erlautert insbesondere Echtheit, UEberlieferung, Chronologie,
Struktur, Stil, historische Daten, biblisches Gedankengut,
Theologie und Liturgie.
In Rhythms of Growth, Linda Douty uses the seasons of the year to
illustrate natural trends in our spiritual lives. For winter, she
writes about themes of rootedness, fallow times, reflection; for
spring awakening, planting, new growth, storms; for summer bearing
fruit, abundance, blossoming, weeding, and pests; for fall letting
go, sifting, harvesting. Douty's conversational style and ability
to bring together the everyday and the holy make this book
appealing for the woman who wants a devotional book that is
applicable to everyday life.
In the latest installment of "Liguori Wisdom Series," Sister Agnes
Cunningham brings Christians closer to Jesus with excerpts from the
writings of St Augustine. Each writing is paired with a Scripture
quotation, reflection, a prayer and a spiritual activity for the
day. St Augustine is one of the most influential Fathers of the
Church and in his search for truth, St Augustine's writings and
ponderings tells a wonderful story of conversion, reminding us of
our own daily conversions.
Watching someone you love self-destruct hurts. Praying for Your
Addicted Loved One: 90 in 90 provides ninety devotions of strength,
hope, and encouragement to families coping with addiction.
Realizing you're not alone in your struggles brings comfort and
confidence to face day-to-day challenges. The overall message of
Praying for Your Addicted Loved One conveys hope to families caught
in the cycles of addiction. The various stages of the disease:
abuse, recovery, and relapse, take their toll on families.
Hopelessness grabs a family's heart and wrings it out with each
slip of clean or sober time. The verses in Jeremiah 30 and 31, the
foundation of the book, offer promises of restoration and
redemption. 90 in 90 reflects the 12 Step model of attending 90
meetings in 90 days. While your loved one attends meetings, you
will read a daily devotional to lend spiritual support. "Today I
pray for other lost addicts to find the hope of recovery. I pray
the families reading this book will continue to have hope that an
addict-any addict-can stop using drugs and find a new way to live.
If there is one thing I can say to family members it is, never quit
fighting. There is always hope. With hope, I, a once hopeless dope
addict, am now a dope-less hope addict." Josh Cosby
