"The perfect guidebook for curious parents, enthusiastic newcomers,
and confused cradle Catholics. Frankly, this is the best book on
baptism I've ever read." --James Martin, S.J. author of the New
York Times Bestseller, "The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything"
Baptism is the beginning of one's life in the community of the
church, and the "gateway" to the rest of the sacraments.
- Isn't it better to get baptized when you're older, and can
understand what you're doing?
- Does my baby have to be baptized immediately?
- Will my child go to hell, limbo or purgatory if--God forbid--he
or she dies before baptism?
- Why are so many baptisms done during the Mass these days?
- What's the role of the godparents? Do they have to be Catholics?
Christians? Believers?
These are questions from good Catholics that deserve good answers.
If people remain confused about baptism, they will be confused
about the sacramental life of the church, and, by extension, their
faith.
"Thomas Scirghi has written a fine book on baptism for the 21st
century church. Rooted deeply in Scripture, the authoritative
teaching of the Catholic Church, and the living tradition of
sacramental practice, Scirghi's book is laced with literary,
cultural, and everyday examples that allow readers to grasp (or
grasp anew) the continuing significance of baptism in the life of
the Church and in their own lives." -Timothy Brunk, Assistant
Professor of Theology, Villanova University
"From the foreword by James Martin, SJ:
"
Frankly, this is the best book on baptism I've ever read. It's wise
without being overly academic; inviting without being overly
informal; and concise without being slapdash. Fr.
Scirghi, a distinguished scholar, compassionate pastor, and popular
teacher at Fordham University, is the perfect guide to the history,
theology, and application of the sacrament.
Father Scirghi's book could easily become a standard introduction
to the sacrament, and is the perfect guidebook for curious parents,
enthusiastic newcomers, and confused cradle Catholics. After
reading it, you'll understand why we invite parents to have their
children baptized, and also why we baptize adults at the Easter
Vigil Mass. You'll know the significance of the oil (and the
candle) in the rite. And the next time you see a priest or deacon
pour water over a child's head and pronounce the ancient baptismal
formula, you'll have a richer appreciation for his words and his
actions.

With an Introduction and Notes by Martin Scofield, University of
Kent at Canterbury. Henry James was arguably the greatest
practitioner of what has been called the psychological ghost story.
His stories explore the region which lies between the supernatural
or straightforwardly marvellous and the darker areas of the human
psyche. This edition includes all ten of his ghost stories, and as
such is the fullest collection currently available. The stories
range widely in tone and type. They include 'The Jolly Corner', a
compelling story of psychological doubling; 'Owen Wingrave', which
is also a subtle parable of military tradition; 'The Friends of the
Friends', a strange story of uncanny love; and 'The Private Life',
which finds a shrewd, high comedy in its ghostly theme. The volume
also includes James's great novella The Turn of the Screw, perhaps
the most ambiguous and disturbing ghost story ever written.
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "A smart, wise, often side-splittingly
funny master class in seeking God. Any spiritual seeker--from
atheist to professional religious--will cherish this bravura tome
from one of our great spiritual guides, in the lineage of C. S.
Lewis, Henri Nouwen, Thomas Merton, Gandhi, and Mother Teresa.
Hallelujah & amen!"--Mary Karr, author of Lit and The Liar's
Club One of America's most beloved spiritual leaders and the New
York Times bestselling author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost)
Everything and Jesus: A Pilgrimage teaches anyone to converse with
God in this comprehensive guide to prayer. In The Jesuit Guide to
(Almost) Everything, Father James Martin included a chapter on
communicating with God. Now, he expands those thoughts in this
profound and practical handbook. Learning to Pray explains what
prayer is, what to expect from praying, how to do it, and how it
can transform us when we make it a regular practice in our lives. A
trusted guide walking beside us as we navigate our unique spiritual
paths, Martin lays out the different styles and traditions of
prayer throughout Christian history and invites us to experiment
and discover which works best to feed our soul and build intimacy
with our Creator. Father Martin makes clear there is not one secret
formula for praying. But like any relationship, each person can
discover the best style for building an intimate relationship with
God, regardless of religion or denomination. Prayer, he teaches us,
is open and accessible to anyone willing to open their heart.
Author of The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything and Learning to
Pray on one of the most intriguing events in the New Testament.
“this remarkable testimony demonstrates the power of a single
Gospel story. This is soul-nourishing and highly
recommended.”—Ben Witherington III, author of A Week in the
Life of Corinth One of America’s most beloved spiritual leaders
and the New York Times bestselling author of The Jesuit Guide to
(Almost) Everything and Learning to Pray examines one of the most
intriguing events in the New Testament—the story of Jesus raising
Lazarus from the dead—and explains its significance for us today.
In this wise and thoughtful book, Father James Martin, SJ, analyzes
the miracle of Lazarus’s resurrection and asks us to consider
what Jesus means when he calls Lazarus—and each of us—to
“come forth.” Taking us through the Gospel story verse by
verse, he offers deep reflection on the lessons it holds about
love, family, sadness, frustration, fear, anger, freedom, and joy.
Come Forth combines compelling analysis of the biblical text,
insights about the historical setting of the story, meditations on
Lazarus in art and the larger culture, as well as stories of
Martin’s personal experiences. As he explores these strands
in-depth, Martin offers us a deeper understanding of this miracle
and its essential message—letting go of the limiting beliefs that
prevent us from experiencing God in all His glory. “All of us
have things that we need to ‘let die’ in order to follow God
more freely, to love more deeply, and to become the people whom God
desires us to be,” Martin writes. As this wise and profound book
reveals, we need only to open ourselves to the transformative story
of Lazarus and trust that God can use it to free us to experience
new life—and come closer to Him.
Complete Home Comforts contains over 150 of James Martin's
favourite recipes from his hit TV show. This is James in his
comfort zone, cooking the food he loves best. This irresistible
collection of recipes ranges from fancy dinners to impress friends,
to those times when you just need to make a satisfying lunch for
two. The chapters reflect this and are divided into Little Lunches,
Family Favourites, Weekends, Spice Suppers, Food with Friends,
Summer Nights, Sunday Night Bites, Sweet Treats and Posh Puds.
Much-loved for his trademark wholesome, hearty British food,
James's recipes are all accessible and easy to follow. The
mouth-watering temptations include childhood comforts such as Fish
pie or Classic chicken kiev, as well as comforts to share, such as
Lamb belly with bbq sauce and pickled red onions, Dahl chicken,
chilli paneer and naan, and Keralan prawns. James is famous for his
fabulous puddings and this book does not disappoint. Try the
mouth-watering Steamed chocolate and clementine sponge with orange
sauce, or bake Lavender shortbread to eat with Lavender creme
caramel. Beautifully shot in James's own home, this is a book of
favourite recipes to use every day for years to come.
The New York Times has described James Martin as maybe "the only
Jesuit priest with a degree from the Wharton School," and in the
wake of our current economic crisis, the story of his remarkable
journey from corporate America to the Society of Jesus couldn't be
more timely. From the halls of General Electric under Jack Welch to
his entry into the priesthood, In Good Company tells this seeker's
powerful story with humor and grace. The book's gems of wisdom will
appeal to anyone seeking meaning in daily life. Fast-paced,
compelling, and often humorous, his story offers a fresh, inside
look at corporate America, the Jesuit vocation, and the human quest
for a life well-lived. This Tenth Anniversary Edition features a
new preface by the author.

There's more to chef James Martin than three-egg omelettes. For the
first time, James talks frankly about life, love, and learning to
foxtrot for live TV. He reveals how a hunger for success and a
thirst for speed have turned him from humble Yorkshire lad into a
British cooking sensation. Highly ambitious and relentlessly
motivated, James Martin has worked extraordinarily hard to become
one of Britain's most successful TV chefs. It hasn't all been a
smooth ride and here James tells his remarkable story, looking back
to his working class childhood in Yorkshire, relating the highs and
lows of a career in the kitchen and revealing some of the
astonishing events that have come with fame and fortune. James
enjoys the open road almost as much as the kitchen and his tales of
family, food, and fame are woven around the cars that have provided
the pivotal moments in his life--from teenage fumblings in the back
seat and buying his first Ferrari to hurtling round a track with
James Bond actor, Daniel Craig, and taking part in the world's most
prestigious vintage road race. Whether he's standing at the stove
or sitting behind the steering wheel, this is a man who has never
been afraid to put his foot down, and "Driven" is the intimate,
fast-paced, no-holds-barred story of his fascinating life.
"Part exploration of the life and death of Lazarus; part spiritual
direction on how that story can bring us to new spiritual life;
part personal application of the story to Martin's own life--this
remarkable testimony demonstrates the power of a single Gospel
story. This is soul-nourishing and highly recommended."--Ben

cooking, this superstar of the food world is showcased by James in

A new perspective on the relationships among colleges,
universities, and the communities with which they are now
partnering. Colleges and universities have always had interesting
relationships with their external communities, whether they are
cities, towns, or something in between. In many cases, they are the
main economic driver for their regions-State College, Pennsylvania,
or Raleigh, North Carolina, for example-and in others, they exist
side by side with thriving industries. In The New American College
Town, James Martin, James E. Samels & Associates provide a
practical guide for planning a new kind of American college
town-one that moves beyond the nostalgia-tinged stereotype to
achieve collaborative objectives. What exactly is a college town in
America today? Examining the broad range of partnerships
transforming campuses and the communities around them, the book
opens by detailing twenty characteristics of new American college
towns. Subsequent chapters invite presidents, provosts, planners,
mayors, architects, and association directors to share their views
on how college town relationships are shaping new generations of
students and citizens. The book tackles urban and rural
institutions, as well as community colleges, and closes with
predictions about what college towns will look like in twenty-five
years. Contributors include presidents from Lehigh, Portland State,
New Jersey City, and Connecticut College, along with five college
town mayors and the current or former executive directors from the
International Town-Gown Association, the Association for the Study
of Higher Education, and others. The book also traces how town-gown
relations are expanding into innovative areas nationally and
internationally, moving beyond familiar student life programs and
services to hundred-million-dollar downtown developments. The first
comprehensive, single-volume resource designed for leaders on both
sides of these conversations, The New American College Town
includes action plans, lessons learned, and pitfalls to avoid in
developing transformative relationships between colleges and their
extended communities. Contributors: Robert C. Andringa, Aaron Aska,

Rhetoric is the art of speech and persuasion, the study of argument
and, in Classical times, an essential component in the education of
the citizen. For rhetoricians, politics is a skill to be performed
and not merely observed. Yet in modern democracies we often suspect
political speech of malign intent and remain uncertain how properly
to interpret and evaluate it. Public arguments are easily dismissed
as 'mere rhetoric' rather than engaged critically, with citizens
encouraged to be passive consumers of a media spectacle rather than
active participants in a political dialogue. This volume provides a
clear and instructive introduction to the skills of the rhetorical
arts. It surveys critically the place of rhetoric in contemporary
public life and assesses its virtues as a tool of political theory.
Questions about power and identity in the practices of political
communication remain central to the rhetorical tradition: how do we
know that we are not being manipulated by those who seek to
persuade us? Only a grasp of the techniques of rhetoric and an
understanding of how they manifest themselves in contemporary
politics, argues the author, can guide us in answering these
perennial questions. Politics and Rhetoric draws together in a
comprehensive and highly accessible way relevant ideas from
discourse analysis, classical rhetoric updated to a modern setting,
relevant issues in contemporary political theory, and numerous
carefully chosen examples and issues from current politics. It will
be essential reading for all students of politics and political
communications.
Chantal Mouffe's writings have been innovatory with respect to
democratic theory, Marxism and feminism. Her work derives from, and
has always been engaged with, contemporary political events and
intellectual debates. This sense of conflict informs both the
methodological and substantive propositions she offers.
Determinisms, scientific or otherwise, and ideologies, Marxist or
feminist, have failed to survive her excoriating critiques. In a
sense she is the original post-Marxist, rejecting economisms and
class-centric analyses, and also the original post-feminist, more
concerned with the varieties of 'identity politics' than with any
singularities of 'women's issues'. While Mouffe's concerns with
power and discourse derive from her studies of Gramsci's
theorisations of hegemony and the post-structuralisms of Derrida
and Foucault, her reversal of the very terms through which
political theory proceeds is very much her own. She centres
conflict, not consensus, and disagreement, not finality. Whether
philosophically perfectionist, or liberally reasonable, political
theorists have been challenged by Mouffe to think again, and to
engage with a new concept of 'the political' and a revived and
refreshed notion of 'radical democracy'. The editor has focused on
her work in three key areas: Hegemony: From Gramsci to
'Post-Marxism' Radical Democracy: Pluralism, Citizenship and
Identity The Political: A Politics Beyond Consensus The volume
concludes with a new interview with Chantal Mouffe.
