In follow-up to her acclaimed Privilege of Being a Woman, Dr. von
Hildebrand expands the discussion to explore how the fullness of
human nature is found in the perfect union between man and woman.
God chose to create man doubly complex. He made man of both soul
and body a spiritual reality and a material reality. To crown this
complexity, He created them male and female. Dr. von Hildebrand
elucidates the tragic separation that happened with original sin
and the consequences of this brokenness in the world today: the
distortion of the male and female genius, supernatural blindness,
and the triumph of secularism. She explores how this brokenness can
be healed by following God's Divine plan for man and woman. We see
this first and foremost in our Blessed Mother, exemplar of the path
to holiness. This is also seen in the characteristics of saintly
male / female relationships between husbands and wives, fathers and
daughters, mothers and sons, brothers and sisters, and holy
friendships. It is only by coming to more fully understand the
Divine plan for man and woman, and submitting ourselves to His
plan, that true complementarity harmony of body and soul, male and
female can be accomplished.

Dietrich von Hildebrand, widely regarded as one of the great
Catholic philosophers of the 20th century, is well-known for his
numerous books, but, until this present work, not much has been
known of his remarkable and inspiring life. Written by his wife,
Alice, also a highly respected Catholic thinker, this is a
fascinating, moving and, at times, gripping account of a truly
great man of the Church who suffered much for the faith. Based on a
very long "letter" Dietrich wrote to his wife late in his life, it
tells his story from his glorious youth with a unique intellectual
and cultural formation, his coversion to Catholisism, his great
passion for truth and beauty, his extensive writing on Christian
philosophy and theology, and his steadfast, determined opposition
to Nazism that made him a marked man who miraculously escaped
execution. A powerful biography of a relentless fighter against
injustice, a devoted son of the Church, a man who had the "soul of
a lion." Illustrated.
This remarkable book shows you how to grow in Christ's love for
your spouse and resolve the unglamorous, everyday problems that
threaten all marriages. The author, Dr. Alice von Hildebrand,
includes guidance on how to deal with your spouse's annoying
habits; how love will give life to even your dullest activities;
how to keep work from becoming more important than your marriage;
how to prevent habit from hurting your relationship; how to settle
conflicts lovingly, and more.

Meet ordinary people who exemplify the upside-down values of Jesus'
Beatitudes. "Why me?" is the cry I hear most often in my work as a
hospice chaplain. I'm not a theologian, but through my encounters
with people who are elderly, disabled, dying, and bereaved - and
through my own quest for peace - Jesus' teachings known as the
Beatitudes have become essential. They describe the attributes of
God's people: God is with those who suffer, those beaten down by
life and rejected by the world. Whether you consider yourself a
Christian or not, you too can be encouraged by these words: Blessed
are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed
are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be
satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. Blessed are
the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God. Blessed
are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for
theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Broken but Blessed is a journey
through the lives of ordinary people who exemplify these values,
which flip the priorities of modern society on their head. Perhaps
you, like one of these people, are up against insurmountable odds,
battling illness or devastated by loss. You may have been rejected,
betrayed, or abused. Whatever you are facing, these people will
accompany you, showing how suffering can be transformed into
blessing and how, even in our own brokenness, we can become a
blessing to others.
